jagfox Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 Missiles sent earlier today - 40 Kalibr and a lot of s-300s. Maybe another tranche at the moment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing there is an element of human nature in it but, if I've learnt anything from copious volumes of these videos, hiding in the trees really isn't a great solution.

The Tiger tanks appear to have entered service in 1942. 4 hours ago, highlandcowden said: Absolutely certain,yes 100% correct, the first real use of the Tiger I was Kursk, in 1943...the earliest use in mid/late 1942 at Leningrad, and they were too late to try to release Stalingrad a little later. The Panther debuted in early 1943. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supposedly a lot of these tanks weren't even damaged, the crews just thought fuckthis for a game of soldiers and ran for it. Elon Musk is supposedly cutting off the ability of the Ukrainians to use his internet system to communicate with their drones, so the tanks might get more difficult to spot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s just using a silly Times article to convince people that Russia is the harmed party. The bot accounts tend to have an arc of life…they start with useful and accurate data, then a slight spin gets put on it, then the spin gets amped up, until people who started listening to the posts when it was rational and accurate are buying the pure propaganda being shoveled. So, it is relevant, in that it shows the Russian disinformation campaign is still quite active. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongTimeLurker Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 (edited) Same info from The Times was tweeted by this account linked to the Belarusian opposition movement that predates last year's invasion: Given Challenger tank approval preceded moves elsewhere on Leopards and Abrams that may or may not be significant.

Not necessarily. Russian combat techniques are devolving at a phenomenal rate, such that even having vast reserves of men are not going to be decisive against the more intelligent use of firepower that Ukraine can rely on. Suspect this latest Russian offensive isn't going to do much, a lot will rely on how successful the next Ukraine one is, likely now to be in the Spring once they've assimilated more Western equipment, even then though - without decisive air power it's going to be hard to break the Russians in sufficient depth to drive them out completely. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
