That's right. Not much has changed if you are a simpleton and value a empty wheat paddock the same as a city, a port, a nuclear power station or a bridge head.

Sorry but such a childish response OB, can't you come up with something a bit more intellectual.

He hasn't said Anthony of that sort even the Russians haven't.

I saw a report from an Ukrainian on the front they were getting hit with 6000 rounds a day and only had 2 mortars to return fire.

There will literally be thousands of people in the Ukrainian government who are seeing that the USA isn't going to step in, and as the meat grinder works it way west they will be doing deals to save their own necks. Zelensky fired his security and chief prosecutor,

But in the smaller towns and cities on the firing line everyday people are thinking I have to save my family and Kiev isn't going to do it.

Hey I didnt post a media link, but in the first month of the Ukrainians getting HIMARs they destroyed 20 Russian Artillery and Fuel dumps, 10 days late they had taken out 50 Russian A&F dumps. No idea what the current count is but you can do your own research and let me know. :drinks:

And its not just dumps they are targeting but Russian command posts too :D


What I meant was all your information is being supplied by the media, on one side

The outcome resembles using a 22 when a 458 mag would have been better.

Anything will fall if you shoot it enough but it assumes you have an unlimited supply of 22 ammo, you have the time and nobody takes it off you. They don't have either.

Seems most here is backing the Russians and want them to win. Me, although the Russians obviously have the numbers I would like the Ukrainians to win. But who knows what winning is in a war. I spotted this today and thought great, Ukrainians are having a win. Knocked off 9 or 10 Russian aircraft in Russian held Crimea. About time they went on the attack. Bloody great.

But then I realised I was being silly. It's from MSM, so must be all photo shopped and just lies. Bugger.

:unknown: :thumbsdown: :crazy:

Anyway I think this war still has a long time to run.

Most people don't want war and for it to finish quickly. This is a missile strike exactly what ground did they take back? Nothing.

The UA was holed up in the northern end of pesky in the high rise apartments as the Wagner group moved in.

They’ve lost 24 su-35’s now.
It’s pretty significant. :lol:
Russia has maybe 40 -50 in service. ( did have )
Not to mention your top gun pilots.
Air power over the battlefield makes a big difference.

Can’t even buy shot down su-35 keychains yet. Only the older su-34’s

Things are getting desperate now. The UA is shelling that powerstation non stop. Their claim is the Russians have artillery in there. Maybe they do, maybe it's just guards on a nuclear facility as you do. Ironically the UA is firing their artillery from a city across the river.

The typical western claim a few months ago that the Russians were so stupid they were shelling Chernobyl and other plants. Then you find they were shooting at UA hiding in the out houses. Now the UA is shelling its, oh we need to get the Atomic Agency in there to oversee things. Or is that because the Russians turned off the grid connector to Kiev and Zelensky is on backup power? If this was a US war there would be no power, gas , water or communications.

The BS never stops.
