got a call for three nines
wait is that the moskva submarine or the admiral smoking ship?


Yup, the famed Admiral Kuznetsov currently in dry dock until 202ever

:mjlol:


I don’t know what’s more funny about it the fact it isn’t even in the water right now, the fact their navy and air force have largely been non factors, or that they can’t manage combined arms even it was in use.

It’s pretty hilarious they still don’t have air superiority

:mjlol:

Russians 'outnumbered 8-1' in Ukrainian offensive​

Ukrainian forces outnumbered Russians by eight to one in last week's counter-attack in the Kharkiv region, Russia's top occupation official there says.

Vitaly Ganchev told Russian TV Ukraine's army had taken villages in the north and broken through to the Russian border.

Ukraine says it has regained control over 3,000 sq km of (1,158 sq miles) of territory in a potential breakthrough in the six-month war.
The BBC cannot verify these figures.

The Ukrainian army says it took back 20 villages in the past 24 hours alone, in its continued counter-offensive in the north-east of the country.
UK defence officials say the Ukrainian army's successes will have "significant implications" for Russia's overall operational design.


Russia has been accused of targeting civilian infrastructure in revenge for setbacks on the battlefield.

Moscow struck back on Sunday with a wave of missile strikes across Ukraine, causing power cuts.

The blackouts reportedly affected millions of people in the Kharkiv and Donetsk regions. The Kharkiv city mayor says power is now restored.

Ihor Terekhov called it a vile and cynical attempt at revenge for the Ukrainian army's recent successes.

Ukraine's Defence Minister, Oleksii Reznikov, said the priority now was to secure the territorial gains made in a week of rapid advances in the Kharkiv region.
The Russian army appears to have abandoned large quantities of equipment and ammunition as it withdrew from areas it had held since the first weeks of the war.

A Russian battle-tank maker has switched to "round-the-clock" production after these setbacks, according to reports.

Workers at Uralvagonzavod in Nizhny Tagil, Russia's largest armoured vehicle manufacturer, have reportedly not been allowed to go on vacation due to the "production necessity".

They have one carrier with a ski slope for takeoff that runs on diesel fuel. Russia should turn it into a floating Hotel/Casino.

This might be the most baffling part of the entire war. Like...how the fukk did your entire air force just vanish?
Russia's spy satellites must be absolute rubbish as well since they can't see massive enemy troop movements.

I was reading some people saying in here earlier that Japan should take back disputed territory and China should do the same. At first I was :what: but now I'm kinda :whoo: about all that. What the fukk is Putin gonna do, launch an Eastern front?

Unleash the fukkery my Asian brehs.

Cover Russia in Rice.

Just popping back into this thread to give props to @Orbital-Fetus.

Breh you called it. Unless Putin drops nukes it's over it looks like.

Lemme give you your props man. You said by October and we seem to me moving towards that.

Daps and reputation.

The moment I saw this for what it was and realized that it could only end with Russia eating ass was in March when the SWIFT banking sanctions hit. At that point I had to sit back and play the whole game out. That kind of sanction on a nation that size had me doing a double take, that's going for the jugular.

Then Lend Lease started :banderas:

Then Sweden was no longer neutral :dead: and openly doing the

with Finland. As unbelievable as what I was predicting was to most, it was the only way this could have played out. I will admit that I got kinda lucky with the spot on timing but that was just me being optimistic about a situation that I read as foregone anyway.

*hides crystal ball*

it just shows how important sead/dead is, air superiority's second only to logistics. instead of taking out the pathetic ukie air defense on day one they tried striking critical infrastructure (with dumb weapons) and doing the ground invasion on the same day? they could've read the wiki page for operation focus or operation desert storm and put together a better first week. :dead:

Honestly Putin and Russia are like the boys who talk big shyt but have no idea what the field is really like. They’re not in constant wars where they have to come up with plans and tactics. They’re straight up mercenaries. That’s not gonna bode well
