"Evil" with NK probably gets thrown around more due to the, you know, intentional starvation of many many millions of their own people, run by a guy who shoots his uncle with anti-air cannons, but hey. I'm old-fashioned that way.

Footage of a brief external inspection of a Ukrainian M1A1 SA Abrams tank of American manufacture, which was destroyed in the Pokrovsk direction. The tank was used by the 47th separate mechanized brigade "Magura" of the Ukrainian army. The M1A1 Abrams tank is equipped with protective grids, Soviet dynamic protection "Kontakt-1" and American BRAT protection. The tank was hit by an FPV drone, possibly an ATGM, after which the tank was abandoned by the crew. Reportedly, the tank was eventually evacuated by Russian units, but there is no footage of this. At the end, an insert is added showing the operation of the sighting system of the American M1A2 Abrams tank.

Croatia 🇭🇷 had agreed to sell 30 M-84 MBTs and 30 M-80 IFVs to Germany 🇩🇪 for transfer to Ukraine. This is part of a deal in which Croatia 🇭🇷 buys 50 new Leopard 2A8 MBTs from Germany at a reduced cost in exchange for the 60 pieces of armor they're sending Ukraine.

This is part of a western push to mechanized some of the new 14 brigades that Ukraine is currently arming after its spring / summer conscription drive.

Australia 🇦🇺 committed 49 M1A1 Abrams MBTs as part of this initiative. USA 🇺🇸 announced the donation of 100 M113 APCs and has promised further IFV and APC announcements throughout the fall. Ukraine has also been stockpiling dozens of Leopard 1A5 MBTs that have been arriving from Germany 🇩🇪 and Denmark 🇩🇰 for this purpose. Meanwhile, Sweden 🇸🇪 sent some 200 Pbv-302 APCs earlier this month.

This isn't enough, however. Ukraine needs approximately 200 additional MBTs, 400 additional IFVs and 800 additional APCs and MRAPs between now and the spring in order to mechanize these new brigades. That includes...

1. Additional T-64s, T-72s and BMP-2s refurbished from storage in Ukraine 🇺🇦.

2. Additional T-72s, PT-91s and BMP-1s from Poland 🇵🇱.

3. Additional KTO-Rosomak / Patria IFVs from Poland 🇵🇱 and Finland 🇫🇮.

4. Additional Leopard 1A5s and Marder IFVs from Germany 🇩🇪, Denmark 🇩🇰 and Italy 🇮🇹.

5. Additional Leopard 2A4s from Germany 🇩🇪, Sweden 🇸🇪, Canada 🇨🇦, Poland 🇵🇱 and Finland 🇫🇮.

6. Additional M1A1 Abrams, Bradleys, Strykers, M1113s and Maxxpro's from USA 🇺🇸.

7. Additional M1A1 Abrams, Bushmasters and M113s from Australia 🇦🇺.

8. Additional CV90s from Sweden 🇸🇪, Norway 🇳🇴, Netherlands 🇳🇱, Finland 🇫🇮, Denmark 🇩🇰 and Estonia 🇪🇪.

9. Additional AMX-10RCs and VABs from France 🇫🇷.

10. Additional LAV 6.0s from Canada 🇨🇦.

11. Additional YPR-765s from Netherlands 🇳🇱.

12. Additional BMC Kirpis from Turkey 🇹🇷.

If Ukraine is going to be able to continue the level of attrition it has caused the Russian army, it needs a fresh influx of a substantial amount of Western made armor. Attrition goes both ways and Ukraine gas suffered plenty of it as well.

Most countries pretty-much have to, at least until the hippies cave and let everyone lean hardcore into nuclear. As long as we're fucking about with windmills & solar & lithium batteries, oil & coal will be a big part of the pie, and a sizeable chunk of the west's source of that is the Rooskies.

Rare footage of a Russian Ka-52 helicopter intercepting a Ukrainian PD-2 drone has been published. The video was filmed in Russia's Kaluga Region. The PD-2 kamikaze drone was developed by the Ukrainian company UkrSpecSystems in 2019. The Ka-52M helicopter launched an Igla-B air-to-air missile from the Strelets onboard complex. The Igla-B missile is capable of hitting targets at a range of up to 7,500 meters, depending on the missile's launch altitude.

Seems like the Rooskies are deploying some WWII T-34s to the western part of Russia. :D :eek:

...T-34s.

I wouldn't take too seriously anyone claiming they're getting desperate and are actually intending on going up against Leopards & Abrams with these things, that doesn't seem like it'd be it, that's insanity. Either they're just going to use them as cheap & easy artillery pieces, or they're the rides these NK grunts are going to be riding around in, haha. In any case pretty funny.

A year ago I read on some forum that the Ukrainians allegedly saw the first Soviet tank “Freedom Fighter Comrade Lenin” on the abandoned Russian position :ROFLMAO:

An episode of the battle in Ukraine, the fifth brigade of the 51st army of Russia, with the participation of a Ukrainian T-64 tank, in the area of the village of Kurakhovo. In the video, Russian units approach Kurakhovo, the approaches are blocked by a Ukrainian defense line consisting of concrete tetrahedrons and steel wire. To overcome the anti-tank line, Russian units concentrate tank and artillery fire, destroying the defense line in one place. Noticing this, Ukrainian units make an unconventional decision and send a T-64 tank to close the passage in the defense line.
After that, Ukrainian soldiers abandon the tank and go into the forest belt, where they die under the blows of Russian drones, the episode was removed from the video.
Seeing that the passage in the defense line is blocked by a tank, Russian units send two of their soldiers to the tank, who free the passage. After which they steal the T-64 tank in the direction of Russian units. Further, it is officially reported that the T-64 tank is returning to the defense line. But the video already shows another tank. Russian units bring up another tank, after which the tank crew directs the tank towards the Ukrainian army position. After this, the Russian tank crew leaves the combat vehicle. The video shows how one of the Russian servicemen injured his leg on the barbed wire. Presumably, the other tank was used to create a passage in the minefield or to divert Ukrainian artillery fire.

The video shows attacks by a homemade Russian ground drone-kamikaze "Mole" in Ukraine. The kamikaze drone "Mole" is used by the 14th separate guards order of Kutuzov special forces brigade of the armed forces of Russia. It is worth noting that the Ukrainian army also uses ground drones. The robotic platform "Mole" is used as a ground drone kamikaze, it is usually sent to dugouts and strongholds of the Ukrainian army. Technical information on the platform "Mole" has not yet been found. It is known that the wheeled drones have electric traction, and as a warhead they use anti-tank mines TM-62M, up to six pieces. The ground drone is guided to the target using a drone, its communication channel is protected.

The Russian army has once again begun using the UR-77 Meteorite self-propelled mine-clearing rocket launchers to attack Ukrainian army positions. The UR-77 operates on the following principle: a hose with a large amount of explosives is fired at a range of about 500 meters, after which an explosion occurs, and the mines detonate from the shock wave. This creates safe corridors for the passage of infantry. The installation is used mainly in forests. In this case, the UR-77 is used not for mine clearance, but for attacks. Unofficially, the UR-77 is called the Serpent Gorynych. The UR-77 is also used by the Ukrainian army.

New footage of the Russian FPV drone "Prince Vandal Novgorodsky", controlled via fiber optic cable. In the video, the kamikaze drone "Vandal" attacks a Ukrainian column of armored vehicles in the Sudzhansky district of the Kursk region of Russia. The column consists of three BMP-2 and moves in foggy conditions, hoping that it will not be detected. The kamikaze drone "Vandal" attacked a Soviet-made BMP-2, judging by the video, the BMP-2 had already been damaged by another drone. As a result of the drone strike, a fire started in the BMP-2, which completely destroyed the combat vehicle. The video shows attacks on two BMP-2s, one has a mesh "barbecue", the other is iron. All three BMP-2s were destroyed. What happened to the BMP crews is unknown.

The more time passes, the more I realise just how messed up Zelensky is as an individual. That guy isnt fighting for Ukraine but for the appeasement of the globalist elites in the West. This is what happens when you put a jewish joker in the seat of a president

In the first year of the war, a deal was made in Turkey, for Russia to retreat back to 2014 demarcation lines in return for Ukraine to dismiss the idea of joining NATO. However in order to please Boris Jhonson and Nulland, he threw his country into a spiral of bloodshed
And now we find this?


All of this for what? So that the US can weaken Russia a bit? Was that all the worth of a human in Ukraine? So sad tbh

Ukraine is corrupted and messed up and primitive, afterall they are part of Russia not long ago, what did you expect?

I just laugh my ass off at European politics talking about bringing them to the EU and NATO, how low can you fall.

"Ukraine was part of Russia."
That's right. So what to do now? Give it back to Russia?
Azerbaijan was part of the Persian Empire. 200 years ago it became part of the Russian Empire. Or rather, it was occupied by Russia. 33 years ago we became an independent state. The Baltics were part of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, then the Russian Empire. Central Asia was part of the Mongol Empire. Dagestan was part of Azerbaijan just 100 years ago. Now it is part of Russia. Most of the Middle East was part of the Ottoman Empire. By the way, Crimea too. Russia itself was part of the Mongol Empire. The current United States was once part of the British Empire. And Britain itself was once part of the Roman Empire. By the way, Switzerland toо :)
I bring to your attention, there are thousands and thousands of such "parts" in the world...
Tell me, what are you proposing?
Bring all the "parts" back?

Compared with the superior ubermensch of the civilized western europe of course. The ones with rapid deindustrialization and demographic winter. Everybody wants to be them. They are superior. The master race.

The problem for stopping this conflict is that the current Russian regime is likely to attack again in the future. Without a defence pact guarantee by major powers (if Ukraine is attacked, the powers will respond as if they were attacked), any cessation of hostilities in Ukraine is likely to be temporary.

At the end of the party, what have all the involved parties/countries win or lost?
