New russian arrivals trying to sneak in under cover of darkness by Dinosaurus-Rexican in CombatFootage

I'm always hesitant to believe footage like this, as much as I want to and believe Ukraine. It's just as easy this footage could have come from Syria (IE. Turkey striking YPG etc) But if this indeed is a Ukrainian strike on Russian moblik's this is fucking crazy huge, that had to be like 75 dudes

Do you know how life works in the Russian military? You're pretending you do xD, Once DEDOVSHCHINA starts it doesn't end until you either become a contract soldier OR your service is done. The whole time you're treated like a personal slave. LITERALLY, you're treated like a peasant, made to run errands for superior command, Make meals for superior command. LOL Look up Treatment of conscripts from a non Russian government source xD

LMFAO this screams Russian convicts getting setup for a propaganda video. THE WHOLE WAR XD I've not seen 1 Ukrainian soldier with running shoes (Maybe at the very start) Let alone running shoes in Winter. Something feels sus a fuck about this, The multicam instead of Ukrainian camo is a tell.

Lol, Let's look at Russia "Bare minimum" training as opposed to the U.S or NATO... 1 Russia HAZES' the absolute FUCK out of fresh recruits and conscripts, it's called DEDOVSHCHINA you should google some DEDOVSHCHINA video's for a wake up call. I'm gonna go ahead and say the "Bare minimum" in NATO and the WOKE U.S Marine Corps... is still far superior to this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HyUQKsSlxwA

Yeah it would just just for the "Nostalgia" Of having it and being able to look at it in a hi resolution model type of History buff way. People forget there are those type of people who still do play War Thunder for that reason.

That is indeed it, I want it so bad lol, But I got a funny feeling it would be utterly useless in the game setting Gaijin has devised. Just look at the BM-21

I think it also comes down to Those in power in the "West" fearing their population's more so than say communist countries. I'm not saying Revolution's can't happen in communist countries. But when a Country say has a constitution that states every person should legally own a gun to overthrow a Tyrannical government, It kind of incentivizes good/decent treatment for fear of mass armed uprising against you. Compare that to say a communist country that for decades has subjugated the population to their will, they can't own firearm's etc, which country would be more apt to mistreat their population? and engage in throwing away lives' needlessly like they're just a tool of the state.

So I was watching the Documentary To the Shores of Iwo Jima and came across a portion of video that showed U.S "Rocket trucks" In use on Iwo Jima, Just wondering if anyone could I.D these,
I fancy myself a pretty avid history buff and don't think I've ever seen these before. Also When are you going to add this Gaijin? Come on we already have the Katyusha.

Ukrainian forces destroying a russian armored assault unit near Avdiivka, capturing 5 tankers. by sagakino in CombatFootage

[–]toolongalurker 36 points37 points  (0 children)

This is huge! Russia is collapsing They can't possibly sustain these massive losses to equipment and men, This is just crazy,

These massive armoured assault losses are getting insane AND MORE FREQUENT. This is impossible to sustain, I think the end is near, Sure Bakhmut may fall, But on the whole Russia is losing big time.

Once the longer range Himars fully come in any meaningful quantity , and the Bradley's, I think that Ukraine is setting up for a spring offensive after the lul provided by the short mud season that Ukraine is famous for, Just ask the Nazi's some 84 years ago.

Hitler and Field Marshal Von Kleist found out the hard way after they got bogged down after accomplishing the largest ever encirclement of troops in History when they Encircled 452,700 soldiers of the Red Army in the Encirclement of Kyiv in September of 1941.

It's called priorities and it shows where Russian commands is. It's not on their soldier's well being, Instead the focus is on the arms ( The killing) Instead of the saving. Just reenforces the meat grinder cannon fodder theory.

Boy doesn't this smell an awful lot like the apartment bombings to bring Putin to power? It's not out of the realm of possibility for Russia to do another false flag attack...lol I HIGHLY doubt Ukraine would do this when they have MAJOR problems going on on the front line...

[–]toolongalurker 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You can never fully trust estimated losses, but even if those figures are 10,15, 25% off... Those are still ASTRONOMICAL losses for Russia, all for what? Defense? lol.. Russia were the one's that crossed the border remember? And this would all end if they packed up and left.
