Live Conflict Ukraine-Russia War

[blackjack]

Russia started war with:
* 1 million regular army
* 340 K Rosgvardiya
* 40 K so called LDNR regular force
* 200 K so called LDNR mobiks

Then they also started creating "volunteer" brigades in each region, sent Nazi "Rusich", tens of thousands Wagner, Redut, Patriot and other mercenaries..

Finally they mobilized another 320 K.

Yet you somehow claim that poor Russians are always outnumbered.

UA: *Immediately* bans exit for every male between 16 and 60, immediately starts recruiting prisoners (including notorious war criminals such as "Tornado"), places conscription officers at entries/exits to all major cities, eventually starts handing out conscription notices AT GUNPOINT to literally anyone they find, now even including those previously exempt due to family commitments, disabilities etc. Wrestling down and dragging away those who resist.

"No mobilization, it's all fine and dandy"

RU: Standard small-scale mobilization *half a year in* of people who are in the pool, ie people with prior legit military experience. Paper notice, no physical coercion. Some people leave the country (1) but nobody tries to stop them. Some return later and face no issues. Some mistakes are made (some people not suitable are called up) because the law they went by is 20+ year old and some registries hadn't been adequately updated, but these mistakes are immediately acknowledged even by the top brass and subsequently rectified.

"Literal Volksturm-esque Nazi last stand"

So far, far less than the U.S. dodgers during Vietnam. My only concern at this point is if Ukraine gets minuteman ICBM nuclear warheads or Poland gets involved. You already saw it yourself 300k got involved in the operation which lasted for 2 months, withdrew and left 80k in the special operation zone. 320k reservists get involved but they have not been used yet while we see them get trained on T-90s, some T-14s, etc while we see Soledar get taken until it will be a matter of time for Ugledar, Seversk, bakhmut and kherson to be taken. There is no magical powers AFAIK for western tanks saving them other than making it clear if they need western tanks now than before than they must have alot of destroyed equipment. You are going to cry to me again that its bullshit, so I will show a western source that shows a map of what amount of Ukrainian troops and russian troops are involved the special operation zone but of course you will go ignore that as well. So I will leave you happy that Ukraine is winning.

The Airborne Forces repulse the attack of the sabotage group of Ukraine. Footage of the attack of the Ukrainian sabotage group on the Russian column of armored vehicles of the Airborne Forces in the Kremennaya area. As a result of the battle, a sabotage group of Ukrainian soldiers was destroyed by massive return fire.

Footage of a powerful strike by the Russian heavy flamethrower system TOS-1A Solntsepek in Ukraine. As reported, the blow was delivered to the fortified positions of the Ukrainian army in one of the villages.

Marker unmanned reconnaissance and strike vehicles will be sent to Ukraine. The Russian military robot "Marker" has its own firepower and an automatic control system, it is able to determine the exact coordinates of the enemy at a distance of up to 15 km and select targets. "Markers" are able to support the system of operation of tethered drones used to monitor the situation and have a visibility of tens of kilometers. Since 2021, the Wheeled Marker has been used to guard the Vostochny Cosmodrome, where it has already proven its effectiveness. How the robots will be used is still unknown.

Footage of the combat work of the Russian tanks T-90M "Breakthrough" in urban conditions in Ukraine. The tank is reportedly firing at the building where the Ukrainian servicemen are stationed. The T-90M "Proryv" tank is the newest combat vehicle used by the Russian army in Ukraine.

52-mm self-propelled howitzer 2S3 "Acacia" of the Ukrainian army, came under attack from the Russian kamikaze drone "Lancet". The installation was protected from above by a canopy from drones, but the operator was able to direct the drone under the protective canopy of the self-propelled guns.

Βίντεο: Στην Ουκρανία οι Ρώσοι πιάνουν drone στον αέρα! - Πτήση & Διάστημα

Ένας Ρώσος στρατιώτης, φαίνεται πως βάλθηκε να αλλάξει την παροιμία που ισχύει τόσα χρόνια, πιάνοντας αντί για πουλιά, ένα… ουκρανικό drone με τα χέρια του. Αυτό όπως φαίνεται στο βίντεο, που έχει ανέβει στο Telegram από το λογαριασμό https://t.me/warhistoryalconafter. Το drone, πιθανότατα...

**A Russian soldier, it seems, has set out to change the proverb that has been in effect for so many years, catching instead of birds, a... Ukrainian drone with his hands. This as seen in the video, which has been uploaded to Telegram from the account https://t.me/warhistoryalconafter.**

So interesting.

At the rate of which the Russians advanced, the Ukrainians would retreat faster than any Russian encirclement and plenty of time for them to do so.

The problem isn't just retreating before encirclement it is doing so before the pincer tightens; if the pincer becomes too tight Ukrainian forces will not only have a harder time resupplying the front but also a difficult time withdrawing Ukrainian forces in a safe manner.

"Whatever happens, the group must reach the firing line. "Whatever happens" is not a turn of phrase, but a task, the failure to complete which will end in execution [by Wagner], regardless of any [mitigating] factors.

UA: *Immediately* bans exit for every male between 16 and 60, immediately starts recruiting prisoners (including notorious war criminals such as "Tornado"),

Ukraine just pardoned war veterans who are willing o serve, while Russia is sending tens of thousands of murderers, rapers and maniacs as cannon fodder.

There is no any comparison here.

Even after mobilization Ukrainian army is smaller tan REGULAR Russian army. But there are also 340 K Rosgvaria, so called LDNR (which was fully mobilized), "governers brigades", Vagner, Redut, Patriot and other uncounted mercenary thugs, 320 thousands mobiks...

In all wars Russian tactics was zerg rush. This one is no exception.

Just to add some comparison regarding equipment losses by Oryx, in Ukraine during 2022. This list only includes destroyed vehicles and equipment of which photo or videographic evidence is available. Therefore, the amount of equipment destroyed is significantly higher than recorded here. Small arms, ATGMs, MANPADS, mortars, loitering munitions, drones used as unmanned bait, civilian vehicles, trailers and derelict equipment are not included in this list.

Russia - 9001, of which: destroyed: 5694, damaged: 242, abandoned: 306, captured: 2759​

Tanks (1671, of which destroyed: 989, damaged: 77, abandoned: 60, captured: 545)​

Seems to me that Russia is the biggest tank provider for Ukraine, NATO has to work hard to match up.

Regarding the human lives lost, there is an OSINT analysis about Russian losses during first week of the invasion: https://informnapalm.org/en/medal-c...for-the-first-week-of-hostilities-in-ukraine/

For some reason you dont want to talk about how many Russians are involved in the special operation zone or how Wagner is kicking the shit out of AFU in comparison to their other units being barely involved.

I want to see how brainwashed you are 1st depending how you answer this question. Do you believe the ghost of kyiv and that a ukrainian babushka shotdown a russian aircraft with a jar of pickles? I believe these are the same journalists that write the Oryx.

Oryx is more of a joke than it is anything factual, I mean come on dude I dont even think you can conviince special ed users but a better chance with users that are born with an extra chromosome here. Why do Ukrainian troops say they lose 5 for every 1 Russian how come the AFU is getting pushed back by a smaller force? Why is AFU at gun point trying to assimilate everyone else to get mobilized I mean come on Ukraine's casualties are so far less than Russia, right? Based on the so-called losses, Russians would have been using reserves not ukrainians getting their shit pushed in by a bunch of convicts in different directions which ukraine claim 75% have been wiped out lol. Ukraine statistics are a joke especially when they say they have intercepted more missiles before than what Russia actually launched. Tell me how come the AFU which has more troops than Wagner is getting their shit pushed in by Wagner?

Do you want to know what size force Wagner is and what size force the AFU units that are being pushed back?

I wondered, for how many dollars did he witness these events? As you know, BBC is an impartial, multi-dollar publication.

Drills in Chernobyl and Kharkiv, the threat of renewed offensive tied the UA to commit troops away from Donbass

My bet is the next spring offensive is directed at Zaporozhia. Before another pause directed at expelling all Russians from Donbass

17:06 the question, 17:30 the bombshell. I feel bad for willy OAM because he seems like an average defense hub user and looks like he was trying not to cry speaking to the soldier.

For some reason you dont want to talk about how many Russians are involved in the special operation zone or how Wagner is kicking the shit out of AFU in comparison to their other units being barely involved.

So why don't you tell us? How many Russians are involved according to your sources?

I want to see how brainwashed you are 1st depending how you answer this question. Do you believe the ghost of kyiv and that a ukrainian babushka shotdown a russian aircraft with a jar of pickles? I believe these are the same journalists that write the Oryx.

No, I don't believe in the ghost of Kyiv. There is a difference between social media lowest category rumors and a site that actually goes through documenting images of lost equipment.

Why do Ukrainian troops say they lose 5 for every 1 Russian how come the AFU is getting pushed back by a smaller force?

I have not seen any reliable Ukrainian source claiming this. It would be highly unusual for one side to lose five times more in modern warfare. I believe Russians lost about that times more in the Winter War in Finland 1939, but they were completely unequipped troops, which most froze to death.

How come the AFU is getting pushed back by a smaller force?

I don't believe AFU is being pushed back by a smaller force. What makes you think that is the case? Typically you need a 3:1 advantage to be successful at counter-attacks. If this war has shown anything, it's that the number of soldiers on the ground matters. AFU was having success in late summer when Russia had not mobilized and now after Russia's 300K plus covert mobilization Russia is the one making progress. Guess why? Because they likely have more troops now or at minimum the same numbers as Ukraine.

Why is AFU at gun point trying to assimilate everyone else to get mobilized I mean come on Ukraine's casualties are so far less than Russia, right? Based on the so-called losses, Russians would have been using reserves not ukrainians getting their shit pushed in by a bunch of convicts in different directions which ukraine claim 75% have been wiped out lol.

Some geographical knowledge might help you. Ukraine is a country that had 43 million population. After Russia's 2014 annexations it was more like 37 million and after losing some more territory in 2022 and probably a few million at minimum fleeing, you are looking at maybe slightly over 30 million, which would be the pool to get fighting age men from. What makes it more challenging is that Ukraine has a bad demographic situation with the highest number of men being in their 40's. With this background, how can it be a surprise to you that Ukraine would have to more aggressively mobilize than 140 million Russia?

Tell me how come the AFU which has more troops than Wagner is getting their shit pushed in by Wagner?

They are being pushed back locally. Do you know the exact number of troops that are involved in the fights for every village? Wagner may draw more troops than Ukraine locally to certain areas without having more troops globally.

Do you want to know what size force Wagner is and what size force the AFU units that are being pushed back?

Why don't you tell us the numbers then instead of making rhetorical questions.

 

[blackjack]

So why don't you tell us? How many Russians are involved according to your sources?

in the operation zone 80k https://militaryland.net/maps/deployment-map/

There is a difference between social media lowest category rumors and a site that actually goes through documenting images of lost equipment.

I am assuming you believe they are creating reserve units and all the videos of the AFU forcing civilians at gun point to mobilize constitutes no significant losses on their side. At that point the casualties have to be way bad than what Oryx states. Hell, I just posted a video about 20 minutes ago of actual soldiers telling different things than what Oryx claims I trust them than being hurt later that no fairy tales in real life exist.

you dont? lets do some math or math that is better than Ukrainian math lol.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NATO_Joint_Military_Symbology X means 2,000-20,000, 3 lines 500 to 3,000, 2 lines 300 to 1000, one line 60 to 250, At most Russian troops in this area is 7,700 at the lowest, 67,000 at the highest. To be fair the blue boxes closest to pink line at highest counting 14 X lines(yes there is more but behind the other blue boxes), 1 3 bar and 2 2 bars would be at lowest 15,100 at hghest 285,000 but that can be debated as way higher because i did not count the blue boxes with Xs behind them, so pretty much this is one region and the other regions are the same and as you know it the Russians are pushing them back, so explain to me how the fuck do the russians have higher casualties?

in case you did not see my earlier post look at 17:07 and see the response at 17:30, Ukrainian troops being interviewed by western journalists are even bigger doomers.

With this background, how can it be a surprise to you that Ukraine would have to more aggressively mobilize than 140 million Russia?

its a surprise because only 80K russians are in the operation zone and they have done nothing yet with the 300k reserves because I see 4 Xs in 3 different places and excluding NATO stating the 4 X is 100,000 to US it means 80k to 320k. Ukrainian civilians are already being forced at gunpoint to mobilize, while this is still considered a small scale mobilization by Russia which we have not seen the reserves yet take the offensive and that is excluding their huge growing active duty pool, so yes i see this as a big deal.

They are being pushed back locally. Do you know the exact number of troops that are involved in the fights for every village? Wagner may draw more troops than Ukraine locally to certain areas without having more troops globally.

they are geting pushed back to soon reach Seversk, Bakhmut, Ugledar, kharkiv, kherson Soledar is already taken, I already provided an early source how many are involved by looking at unit sites.

Why don't you tell us the numbers then instead of making rhetorical questions.

see 3rd response.
