    another chopper down. the artillery, munitions depots, and helicopter losses are like body blows and it seems that they are beginning to have a cumulative effect. Ukes using anti-tank missiles to take out choppers...

    Putin left red-faced as Ukraine shoots down Russian helicopter over Bakhmut (msn.com)

    Ukrainian forces are claiming they have shot down another Russian helicopter over the city of Bakhmut on Thursday morning.

    When one side runs torture centers and targets apartment buildings and schools, the casualties tend to be high on the other side. One of the great tragedies of this war is that without the complete defeat of Russia, we will likely never see Russian war criminals (like Vlad Putin) brought to trial.

    Russia's missiles stocks are rapidly depleting, and the quality of the missiles is suffering. In June, Ukraine found an unexploded missile that had a manufacture date of mid-May, so they likely have about a 1-month supply. (If it takes them a couple weeks to get the missile from the factory to the front, then they may only have a week or two's supply).

    Some components were of inferior quality, and some parts were soldered manually instead of by machine. There was no time to put the missiles through testing.

    Ukraine is figuring out how to defeat KA-52 helicopters and mobile artillery units. Ukraine is starting to make some good progress in the counteroffensive.

    ^ Highly ironic, positioning Russia as the Baghdad Bob when Ukraine is literally down to its last elite brigade.

    That makes the score Ukraine 1 elite brigade, Russia 0 elite brigades. Russia lost most of its elite brigades in the opening months of the war.

    Advantage: Ukraine.

    I’ll bet you believed that story of a Russian dentist pulling out the gold teeth of Russian sympathizers. I know you did.

    Back in the Fall you had had twice as many Russians dead as had been inserted into theatre at the time.

    Humanitarian Alert: Russian military commissars in Crimea, in charge of the dead Russian troops in the morgue there, are negotiating with the next of kin for a battlefield body retrieval fee. Good to see some positive activity in the Russian economy for a change. I hope that the families don't find out what their comrades are doing to them...

    Yeah, but I wasn't a complete jackass about it. I acknowledged my error (or, in fact, the error of my sources) and moved on. You have been trolling with your lies since you started posting here, virtually non-stop. Truth seems to be the one thing that you are completely uninterested in.
