Australian-made Ukrainian armored car Bushmaster was ambushed in Ukraine. There were seven mercenaries from Poland in the car, all of them died. Judging by the damage, the ambush was organized professionally, the fire was fired from all sides.


Footage of the attack on the positions of the Ukrainian army near Maryinka by a pair of Russian Su-25 attack aircraft.


An attempt by Ukrainian soldiers to cross the Dnieper River in light boats. The units of the Russian army discovered the landing and a battle ensued. The Ukrainian landing force reportedly retreated with losses.


A Ukrainian T-64 tank was hit by a Russian Lancet kamikaze drone. In the video, you can see that the tank crew even noticed a drone flying up to them, but did not close the hatches. Reportedly, the attack on the Ukrainian convoy took place on the banks of the Dnieper.


The Ukrainian army actively uses the English armored trucks Wolfhound. The Wolfhound armored vehicle was the development of the Mastiff armored car, which was developed on the basis of the American Cougar vehicle. Wolfhound armored vehicles are now all decommissioned and are actively sold by England. In Ukraine, cars are used as armored personnel carriers, for this the space between the loading platform and the lattice screens of the car was filled with sandbags, and bags are also used directly in the body instead of seats. The vehicle's armor can withstand 12.7 mm bullets from all angles. Mine protection is designed to detonate 14 kg of explosives under the wheel or 7 kg under the bottom. The American 12.7-mm machine gun Browning M2HB is used as a weapon. The Wolfhound armored vehicle weighs 25 tons and has an engine power of 330 hp. The maximum speed on the highway is 90 km / h. Crew 2 people.

The Ukrainian army began to use the GAIA Amir multifunctional armored vehicles manufactured by the Israeli company Gaia Automotive Industries. Officially, Israel does not supply weapons to Ukraine, and it is not known how the Amir armored cars ended up in the Kherson region, their manufacturer prohibits re-export. The armored car was first shown in 2018 and is used for patrolling, personnel transfer and evacuation of the wounded. The armored vehicle has protection against mines with a mass of charge up to 6 kg and protection against bullets with a caliber of 7.62 mm, protection can be improved with additional modules. The Amir armored vehicle is capable of carrying up to 12 soldiers and 3 tons of cargo. The car has a permanent four-wheel drive, the maximum speed of the armored car is 122 km / h.

I can't wait to see Russian military morale hit a new low as recently mobilized recruits are forced into Ukraine in the middle of the winter. Everyone knows how poorly equipped they'll be to deal with the winter cold. There is going to be a lot of frostbite, a lot of guys freezing to death and a lot if horrible morale. Hopefully, the Ukrainians can take advantage of that situation and kill as many of these young Russians as possible.

They can end up as frozen corpses and wasted lives, like these gents...

a lotta bored Westerners mindlessly advocating for plain slaughter these days, in a brainwash-induced fervor. shows what their moral fiber are actually made of.

I'd certainly take prisoners and I believe the Ukrainians would prefer to as well, but one of the ugly truths of war is that in order to change public opinion among the population of the aggressor, it often requires awful casualty rates and the loved ones of the invading force to die in significant numbers. In this case, it probably has to happen to young men from places like Moscow and Saint Petersburg... The people that actually matter to the Russian Duma.

Vietnam is a perfect example of what I'm talking about. The high casualty rate among American participants degraded the public opinion at home, pressuring the politicians to pull out of the conflict. In order to stop the Russians, Putin's regime must feel threatened from the inside. That massive pressure will not exist until substantial numbers of Russian sons, husbands and brothers leave for Ukraine, and come back in caskets (if at all).

You can think that's "savage", but that's the reality of war in so many situations. Putin thinks the West is decadent. We're not. We're ruthless, self-imterested assholes, like everyone else and we want Russia stopped. That's why we're sacrificing so much of our tax money to see it happen at the hands of the Ukrainians. But make no mistake, Russia will not be stopped by outside forces, they can only be stopped by public opinion turning on the Putin regime, as their economy retracts, all semblance of western industry vacates Russia and sets them back 20 years... And their loved ones are sent off to die.

We can only hope for a Russian army so battered and broken by Western weapons in the hands of Ukrainians, that their will to fight is crushed. Ukraine must make the winter hell for them. The West has the ability to help with that. It's the best way we'll ever spend that money.

Morose? Yes. Brutal? Yes. Savage? Yes? A reality of war?... Sadly, also yes.

My comments are neither brainwashed, nor mindless. They're self-interested, historically informed and motivated by the hope for a Ukrainian victory, after all that their population has suffered at the hands of an invading force.

i see where youre coming from. and i do think that things will go as you described in the coming years. its a damn shame that all the fine men in the Far Eastern parts of Russia will perish before it even came to the men in Moscow and St. Petersburg. and even then, the "dearly beloveds" of the oligarchy will be sheltered. C'est la vie.

as for your comments, i dont think youre brainwashed per se. I do see a lotta people in the interwebz that could be considered brainwashed tho, typing away their heart out with burning passion with no regards to factual integrity or a sliver of empathy, blinded with a zeal that would make the ISIS mf'ers blush with envy. Come to think of it, that might be the result of how utterly dehumanized everyone towards each other is. thats not a mindset one can adopt for the long term. it goes straight into oblivion.

they're self-interested tho, i'll give you that! ;)

1,500 tanks I thought Ukraine destroyed 2,500 tanks? https://defenceforumindia.com/threads/russia-future-land-force-future-capabilities.83625/

@Fuzuli NL if thats not enough hope you like this cool website. https://www.bitchute.com/channel/nnwlaOOuDM1W/
Sorry, bj.

It's really hard to believe anything Russian propaganda machine produces. I did click on the link but when I saw the amateurish titles, I didn't bother.

Not that the Ukrainians are angels and they never lie or make false propaganda, nor the west that supports them, but you guys are invaders and aggressors.

You shouldn't be proud of destroying a nation and its infrastructure, that's what it's about.

The ratio you gave me about tanks doesn't mean much coming from your side. The visually confirmed matters though and it's there.
Besides, after all these humiliations in your 3-day special operation along the almost 9 months, you compare your losses with Ukrainian ones who were militarily a zero on the left compared to what was perceived to be the Russian military.

Despite the big difference, you guys have suffered humiliation after another, and when you run out of lies, you try to justify them by "gestures of good will".
And then you retaliate with bombing residential areas and infrastructure, then you share videos boasting about how Ukrainian civilians are suffering from the lack of basic human needs but you fail to mention that you've destroyed them because your soldiers and Kadirovite clowns couldn't do a face-to-face combat with your enemy. How brave!

And beyond all that, to have 1500 tanks visually confirmed losses (which means the actual number could be a little or a lot higher but the confirmed ones can't be debated) from "the world's second strongest military power" in the period of 9 months is a humiliation even if you were fighting against NATO itself (as some of you keep saying).

Trust me, bj. My problem is not with a person or the Russians per se, but my skin starts crawling when I see atrocities made by so-called soldiers, and even more when I see anybody trying to justify them.

I don't favour Ukrainians to Russians. I favour defenders to aggressors.
