Russia's Invasion of Ukraine (Official Thread)

[Orbital-Fetus]

that's not your "concern" (what's the point of pretending?), that's your hope, your dream come true.

wildly transparent.

Putin tried this from the beginning and failed miserably.
it is beyond Russia's capability to do what vodka fueled dreams you just typed out.
folks out here wasting precious internet.

I find that hard to believe. They can take Donbas and control 20% but Kyiv is too fortified. They can drop FOAB or carpet bomb kyiv. They just launched cruise missiles against the city. Theyre more efficient now. Theyll probably go after kharkiv and Odessa next, but Kyiv will also probably be an option. Time to cut the head off.

First time bridges were destroyed, tires and mud. Hopefully they uses artillery, cruise missles, and their air force along with infantry on the second attempt. Ditch the vehicles.

Anyone know why the Russian air force hasn't been used?

cause y'all air force ain't shyt.

I'm pretty sure Russia's planes use tech that can counter f22 and f35s stealth tech..heat detecting tech. they still have bombers and 5th gen jets.

^My concern is kyiv isnt targeted. Ditch the attrition war. they already tried and failed, but send spetnaz and a adequate combat force to kyiv. Surround and starve kyiv. Nothing from the air force to cut off Ukraine's supply lines.

They only had one shot at the Capital and they fumbled it rushing in too soon. This is why they've been reduced to fighting out in the fridges of the country with their back practically against their own border.

Ain't they taping dusty ass GPS systems to the dash in their planes and shyt?

they would if they could but they can't so they won't.

 

[Orbital-Fetus]

can anyone imagine a scenario where the U.S. goes balls to the wall on foreign soil without air superiority?

this is the most confusing part of the Russian offensive imo.

They're using modern planes with ancient munitions:

But there’s a critical difference. Where the Americans every year purchase thousands of satellite-, laser- and infrared-guided missiles and bombs, frequently train with them and use them in combat almost to the exclusion of unguided weapons, the Russians all but stopped buying guided munitions years ago owing to their high cost and, post-2014, the effect of foreign sanctions on Russian manufacturers of bombs and missiles.

So while the Su-34 can carry guided munitions, it—and every other tactical warplane in Russian service—almost never actually does so. “The bulk of the 300 [Russian air force] fixed-wing combat aircraft massed around Ukraine have only unguided bombs and rockets to draw on for ground-attack sorties,” Justin Bronk noted in a recent analysis for the Royal United Services Institute in London.

They have to fly low for any semblance of accuracy which makes them sitting ducks. They had lost 4 at the time the above article was written, I'm certain that number has at least doubled since.

They need to drop those unguided missiles Ukraine's bases. battlefields strikes on tanks and choppers arent feasible. Hit their bases.

this isnt even remotely realistic. the best case scenario for russia is to bait ukraine into wasting resources trying to take annexed territories. kyiv is more hardened now than it was at the start of the war. sporadic missiles on civilian infrastructure are just terrorist attacks - not in high enough volume to be militarily valuable. the attrition war in the east is the only thing they are good at now...

ukraine's defense game is stronger than ever. it is their offense which is soft and seeing some failures.

Is this poster direct access to Putin's Parkinson's addled mind or some shyt

You WANT this to happen. But it didn't when it could have, so at it happening now
