Nothing positive except of gas comes out of Russia. Thats why they need their huge propaganda machine and bots.

To apply a slim layer of gold to their pile of S**t.

I think NATO knew about thta but couldn't do anything because of the supply route through the Panshjir valley.

Your comparison of Trump to Putin and Hitler was already tried by the Liberals in my country, and it was met with the appropriate level of disdain which it deserved. Perhaps you have a personal axe to grind with Mr. Trump, but I see the comparison as sophomoric, if not outright baseless.

Also, I believe many of my fellow countrymen would love for the U.S. to stay out of European affairs to varying degrees, but the fact of the matter is, the U.S. and Western Europe (and some Eastern European countries) have long-term and successful relationships that have benefitted all interested parties, especially in the realm of economics (not to mention our military support over the last century+).

The long lasting relationship and it being valued is our hope.

But anyway a guy like Trump in these times can make life hard for strategic procrastinators wanting the state coffins for rainbow projects and dreaming of peace instead of securing it.

Is this the Russian Army or an African war lord?

I don't see many autocannons in use by infantry in Ukraine maybe to cumbersome today?

But a RH202 on a lafette stops infantry assaults quickly.

It was used for object defence in the old Bundeswehr.

I think they are using at least ZU-23-2. Finland donated some of them too and I would assume that they are mostly used for AD duties.

Way too static for frontline service on today's battlefield imo. If an FPV drone doesn't get it the customary GRAD blanket proceeding every meat wave will.

An episode of work in the Zaporizhia region of Ukraine, servicemen of the Stavropol airborne assault regiment of the Russian group of troops "Dnepr". The mobile crew uses, presumably, a homemade buggy, armed with an ATGM "Kornet". ATGM "Kornet" is capable of hitting targets at a distance of up to 8000 meters. The tactics of such crews, rapid movement to a given position and leaving it. Presumably, a stronghold of the Ukrainian army was fired upon.

Norks not doing so well. No artillery support - no armor of any kind - no chance of Orc troops coming to their aid when they start being run over... Lord have mercy - it sucks to be them!

It will fall at some point.
That kinda pisses me of. Ukraine should had prepare heavy fortification an trenches but I didnt see that there.
It also pisses me off because with a little more support they could win this war. Its not that russia is doing blitzkrieg...

Would only increase the price russia pays, but it wouldn't prevent the place from being taken.

Russia can take the whole of Ukraine, it's only a matter of how high the price is going to be and whether or not they can continue to afford it.

Ukraine can only win if the russian economy collapses and the people revolt for fear of starvation. They lack the 3-1 manpower disparity needed for offensive warfare, rather their enemy is numerically superior.

The momentum for sweeping maneauver warfare by Ukraine has long since passed.

I'm not a professional analyst but I don't agree.

Yes manpower is the big problem but it they had more equipment this could help a lot on the disparity.
10 Russians storms a place, 9 dies and the one survivor gets the new place. Repeat it hundreds of times and they got a big part of land.
That defense could have been better defended IMHO.

No one in Russia will revolt. If you look current videos of there you see that the Tsar still has a lot o popularity and a lot of support from people that would go to the war, unfortunately.

The video shows a Russian drone from the Okhotnik special forces unit of the 51st Guards Army of the Southern Group of Forces attacking a Ukrainian robotic transport platform. The Russian drone carried out the attack by dropping ammunition. The model of the Ukrainian robotic transport platform could not be determined, judging by the video, the transport robot was transporting provisions.

In dollar terms, that means Russia's income in convertible currencies has fallen from nearly $300 billion a year in early 2022 to less than $60 billion now. Meanwhile, Russia's trade with countries that don't pay in convertible currencies has risen sharply.8 hours ago

Not much left to play with to keep the ruble up.

In November 2024, consumer loan rates in Russia ranged from 25% to 44% per year. The Central Bank of Russia raised its key policy rate to a record 21% per year.

Interest rate is at inoperable levels.
Running out of time. Burning the candle at both ends in terms of damage to economy and russians.
