Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

Can we offer this Ukranian solider a scholarship?

    It looks huge when the military industrial complex zooms in and tweets about it though.



    Fun with maps? You mean like only showing gains since June or so?

    I'm hearing the Kherson offensive is stalled out and not going anywhere as well.
    Yeah, Russia stalled out for sure last year. Now Ukraine is the one throwing huge losses into offensives that won't move the needle. Ukraine isn't capable of winning by their own definitions or their US handler's definitions (which as of this week are the same).
    Kherson was stalled until it wasn't. Russians use reserves and rails to stabilize the lines. Once one of those breaks massive gains can happen. If Ukraine takes Tokmak, or even just establishes fire control over it, it will cut the rail link to all of the Western front and Crimea.

    Not saying it WILL happen don't twist. Pretty obvious this is now the Ukrainian strategy though.
    I agree it’s the strategy. No indication that it will work so far. I guess it could under perfect circumstances. The Offensive clearly has underachieved relative to the hype. PGOS was hyping the September spring offensive in February. Reality is that Russia far better at this long grind it out war and my money is on them to achieve whatever objections they have (still unclear what those are)

    The comp on this war is becoming Iran Iraq from the 80’s. Two terrible countries fighting, US backs one horrible dictator against another. Didn’t care who won that one either. Just feel bad for the dead on both sides that fought over nothing.
    The offensive hasnt delivered the desired results thus far. But neither did the last two...until they did.

    The front can collapse at any point in time almost instantly. All accounts are that Russia is losing a large number more artillery than Ukraine is. But Russia has massive reserves and decent industry for artillery.

    Russia is also losing premier assets like T90 tanks and KA52 helicopters at an alarming rate.

    Russia cannot operate its air force near the front line due to budget rate Western AA. They dont even try to use SU35s anymore because its not worth it.

    Its a drone fest nightmare on both sides in farmland with barely any tree coverage.

    Despite these challenges Ukraine is slowly grinding forward towards Tokmak. They are getting Abrams tanks and F16s soon.

    LIFPO.
    Like 20 years play out?

    Its hard



    They're evacuating the fleet from Crimea. I hear the Ukrainians have no chance to take Crimea from the Tug. Weird that the Russians disagree of all people.

    It would be great if Russia gives Crimea back and ends the war. Unfortunately, I think this just prolongs the war.

    The Canucks gave a standing O to a Nazi in parliament

    Classy

    Then Trudeau blamed Russia

    If you can't tell who the good guys are there aren't any
