How about this APC although I guess you can claim it's a disabled Ukrainian vehicle and that the Ukrainians painted the Russian "Z" symbol on it.
So, "RUSI" is not a Russian website. The fact that the name sounds like the first part of the word "Russia" is a coincidence. It has an article written by Alex Vershinin, which only sounds like a Russian name. The article relies exclusively on information from the Russian Ministry of Defense--another coincidence. It is NOT a Russian website. And the fact that the article was written in mid-June (before Ukraine began the humiliation of Russia's army with a counter-offensive) has no bearing on whether the information is up-to-date. It was written before precision targeting and destruction of Russian ammo dumps and ammo trains became commonplace. It was ALSO written before the GREAT RETREAT, during which Russia abandoned massive amounts of ammunition and tanks. But never mind those pesky facts, Russia has plenty of ammo. A 3-month-old article says so. I wonder why this guy hasn't written any updates. Maybe because he's hiding in his parents' basement pissing his pants.
Let's get real, what is the GREATEST military asset and weapon in Russian history....... It's called ....... Winter Without General Winter Russia would be, well, I dunno. Polish, French or German? Maybe a combination of all 3?? That asset ain't gonna help ya'll one bit in this conflict Comrade Dugger......
the never ending willingness to suffer for the motherland is their greatest weapon. I think that is being tested now and alliances are wearing thin. Probably not a good time to be a food tester in Moscow right now
Yep. Ain't no foreign invader slashing and burning through the Russian heartland, no sir, the exact opposite. Just ask Mannerheim and the Finns how mighty the Bolshevicks were in 40, Finns being outnumbered 12 to 1.
I'll make the point one more time and be absolutely clear about it. When it comes to war nothing is off the table. WW II and nukes should make that absolutely clear. Ukraine would be doing the same thing if they were bombing Russia. We don't like it. We don't want it to happen but it occurs time and time again. Vietnam is another example. As much as we might wish that such atrocities should not happen they do and will continue to happen in the future. It is all to easy to take a moral stand when you are not the person in the trenches. Drones do not discriminate and the US had proven that as time and again.
The US has been wanting his head on a pike for years and to weaken his country besides. How strange that he’s taken the actions he has.
The only thing that has weakend RUSSIA since the fall of the Soviet Union is the assension of Putin whom turned Russia into a quasi capatalist state in which he and his oligark buddies pilfered the wealth and resources of the country into their personal coffers. Or have you not noticed that every Russian billionaire is answerable to Putin and provides him his "CUT"? And, much like any previous King, Czar, Emperor etc. - he left the people with NOTHING but a milk cow and a goat if they were lucky. Sure the West / USA and every other country is corrupt, the difference being that the corruption in the West is not as rampant. The system of checks and balances in the West is light years ahead of Russia and yes, I know how bad it is here, butttt... The trickle down here is a veritable "Amazon" compared to Russia. Why do you think your tanks, armored vehicles and logistics chain is so broken down? let me spell it out - C.O.R.R.U.P.T.I.O.N. When common people are starving they do what they have to do to survive. That includes the military rank and file. The way I see it Russia is basicly run by a "Putin Mafia". He will get whacked...........
Citizens of Whatsawomanland, people comfortable with euphemisms like ‘birthing persons’ guffaw at the term Special Military Operation.
If Putin were to get whacked, it would likely be a Russian who thinks he’s been entirely too timid with his Special Military Operation. And if this were to happen, Russia would almost certainly go harder.
I consider Noem Chomsky to be the leading American ideologe alive today. (if that tells you anything) I assure you I have a good grasp on the realities here. I also have a pretty good idea of the realities of the thugs you support. I will take USA values every day of the week and a month of Sundays. Like I said, at least we have grocery stores with food in it, TV's, washing machines, and cars, unlike 90% of your "comrades".
It’s a real thing for Putin as he is said to be cautious and overly concerned for legal framework. It also conveys something more like a policing action, deploying just a small fraction of available forces and ceding most authority to separatist militias and politicians in Lugansk and Donetsk. But it appears that that’s about to change.
