  1. Downed KA-52 helicopter 16 slides of captured, or destroyed Russian equipment, including 4 T-80U and a truck full of munitions.
  2. Cross-posting this from the DT. Footage of civilians murdered by Russian artillery in Charkov. Fucking barbaric. NSFW and very graphic.

  4. It don't know if I'd call it Ukraine winning, but I don't think the Russians have any options left that result in a win. Their equipment is outdated and they don't have enough. I don't see how they logistically maintain a siege, when they can't even come close to supporting the units they have deployed currently. Hannibal marched up and down Italy for 15 years kicking the shit out of the Romans every time they faced, but Rome refused to admit defeat. Extreme stubbornness is damn hard to beat. I see that in the Ukrainians and they are doing far better than the Romans ever did against Hannibal until Zama. I think the more Putin hits Ukraine, the harder they will fight. Long-term, Russia is fucked and will retreat in disgrace.
  5. Will second that one too. Good article and absolutely no politics at all. I didn't know that until 2013, the Russians wore these instead of socks. It takes this dude over a minute to put on his boots. All to save, what, 30 cents?
  6. If y'all haven't read this, you should. It's an excellent article and the author nailed it in November. Thanks for the link @atomheartbevo. The Russians didn't have enough trucks, even before the Ukrainians started turbo-fucking their supply lines. There is no way now for them to fix it and it's going to get worse and worse as the Ukrainians keep knocking off supply convos.
  7. Wordle 256 2/6 🟩🟩⬛⬛🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 First time I played. I got ridiculous beginners luck with my first guess.
  8. Sean Penn talk not going away.
  9. The Israelis. They'd smoke the Russkie AF, but they aren't getting involved with Russia and risking escalation in/from Syria.
  10. Shit, that's a really good observation. Whatever is going on with him, Putin doesn't want to die.
  11. I'm sure they have a Bayaktar 2 waiting for these fuckers too.
  12. True, but also bitterly learned personal experience. 1 day of hard rain can cost 3 days of field work waiting for that shit to dry. It also makes it a bitch even walking around camp. It's fucking miserable. Yet another major Russian failure. That would have been frozen a month ago and they could have rolled over it.
  13. Good old bentonite. AKA the stuff that cat litter was usually made of. Swelling clay that is simultaneously sticky and slippery. It's fucking awful to walk, drive, or do anything else on. Everything gets stuck in bentonite. Nothing moves over it until it dries.
  14. Good, but they should have made the crab Switzerland.
  15. Fuck looters, but I hope they kept the cart. They are each going to need a couple of them to carry money to buy a loaf of bread, on the unlikely event they ever get home. At one point, 4 of the 7 clumped all together with no one looking out for ambush. Keep this up with this same lack of situational awareness and they are likely to fertilize sunflowers soon.
  16. There was clearly dissension before the war. Putin publicly confronted and castrated his spy chief in front of the cameras. He then released it to the public. He doesn't do that unless he is trying to suppress dissension.
  17. The Chechen war criminals were supposed to kill Zelensky, but got fucking wrecked and their general is now dead.
  18. There's been some discussion about why many of the Russian tanks don't have slat armor and whether it would help much against the drones, NLAW and Javelins. Doesn't look like it helped these guys much, though R/TankPorn says they are spaced too far apart.
  19. Was thinking the same thing. This makes the most sense if we DON'T have an inside man, but want him to think we do.
  20. The further from the Belarus border, the better, as long as it's hit before getting in range of Kyiv. They are still days out at this pace. Plenty of time.
  21. Going to have to be a lot more specific than just calling out "Bear Fucker" around the Russian Army.
  22. As bad as it looked, there is hope now. People are finally standing up to the single biggest destabilizing, anti-democratic force on the planet. Putin has vaporized years worth of infiltrating Western governments, years of drip-drip-drip appeasement polices. The greed, arrogance, evil and hubris of a small-minded narcissist, surrounded by sycophants laid bare for all to see. Putin couldn't have fucked this up this massively if he'd set out to do it on purpose, it's amazing.
  23. We had a mutual enemy. The Russians are never on anyone's side, but their own. Nations forget that at their own peril.
  24. From the comments.
  25. @JesusSweatDuck posted this earlier. Allegedly one of the Turkish drones.
