Apparently the bridge at the dam in Nova Khakolvka is now closed. How does that play for the 25000 Russian troops on the west bank of the river and their supplies?
Kherson cut off!

It's over
This time they're cut off for sure. Offensive in two days. Trust me brost.
Behold.. the mighty counter-offensive in kherson.
slava pisskraini!!! two more potholes!
It's ok vatBlack folk. no amount of seething will bring the bridges back or make the supply situation for Russian troops any better. Just sit back and enjoy the show.
At this rate any counter-offensive sounds like a meme. What seems to be going on is that the Ukrainians like where their positions are around Kherson and they like that Moscow can't help but send more shit and people to blow up.
The only guys talking about the counter offensive were vatniks and they seem to be willing it into reality like they did with the cauldron.

It's hilarious, because the glavset only pushes anti-mask and antivax bullshit abroad. Domestically in Russia, they have regular ass mask and vaccination campaigns.
I actually only just learned today that the picture of the superheroes bowing to the doctors that all the antivax types like to use to own the libs was put out by Moscow's city government lol
Any proof of that. I have no reason to believe or doubt it, I just want to know if it's true.

>On April 20th, 2020, amid the 2019-2020 coronavirus pandemic, the official Telegram channel for the Department of Transport of Moscow posted two versions of an artwork by an unknown author in which DC and Marvel superheroes bow to a group of masked medics walking through a hospital hall (shown below, left and right).
>On the same day, Russian news website DTF reposted one of the artworks.
Thanks. I'll have to look a bit deeper into it to make sure it's genuine, but it would certainly make a lot of sense.
Oh, come on, buddy. I'm clearly shitposting here. I like dead Russians as much as every other sane person.
>clearly shitposting
Reread my post, in context, and understand it is also a shitpost. We're on the same page here.
But, literally, a vatnik was unironically posting pretty much the same thing you did in another thread: "Look at those dispersed craters!
Only three, and they missed everything!" Fun clown show.
Well, frick you.
No wait, high five?
Whatever, let's celebrate dead Russians together.
Well, frick you too. And, Cheers! I'm fairly certain a vatnik died miserably somewhere in Ukraine during this exchange. Every little bit helps.
Cheers, buddy.
I suppose the irony is that the Russian government, which obviously includes Putin, is pro-vaccine, while the majority of the Russian population is anti-vaccine.
That said, I'm somewhere in the middle. I'm unvaccinated, and don't really give a shit about whether or not people decide to take it. I'm simply against vaccination passes and people being forced to take it.
I'm pretty centrist on it to be tbh. The benefits for middle aged and older seem convincing enough, but it gets more iffy for kids (last I checked the data anyway). Also, the new mRNA technology probably warranted more initial caution and oversight/transparency than we got. Overall, the vaxmaxx/antivax dichotomy was just obnoxious and dysfunctional and neither side was without blame for causing it in my opinion.
i shitpost at so-called vaccine skeptics a lot, but frankly i've seen an unusual number of strokes, blood clots and sudden death (because brain embolism) in family & family-friends. this is confounded by covid contributing to the likelihood of suffering these problems, but it's still concerning and i worry when i hear someone is going to have a third injection
I'm the guy you're replying to, and my opinion is that it's probably the right decision for older people to take it. In my family, I think everyone except me has taken the vaccine, and several of them have gotten the coof, but didn't have any complications, and recovered without any trouble. That includes both my parents.
I think I might have had the coof a few months ago, given that I was sick for a little under two weeks, after never having had a cold or a flu for ten years, but it wasn't anything serious. It was like a cold, and less serious than a regular flu.
I dunno. I just don't like authoritarianism... you know, unless it's directed at Black folk, feminists and other far left scum.
>while the majority of the Russian population is anti-vaccine.

If the bridge is so fine, why don't they drive tanks across it?
Don't be so jealous of their accuracy.
Also how are the ferries going vatnik
hohols are about ISIS tier in many ways. The US funding and weapons, the moronic terror attacks, getting BTFO ABY RUSSIA, the list goes on. Maybe they can enhance their imaginary counter offensive by destroying Lenin statues in towns they already control or behead someone for insulting bandera
>Source: krokodil stupor + MSPaint.
You can jump around death numbers, but control over territory is indisputable. Russia is unable to conduct a large-scale offensive operations, period.
>The vatnik terrorist cries out in pain as he blows up schools and maternity hospitals.
Russians would have to spend a century being taught how to be civilized human beings before they were only as heinous as ISIS.
>$100,000 to make a little hole even a starving hohol can’t slip through
HIMARS is a meme.
If the bridge is fine, then why is it closed and Russia has built two ferry lines?
Because you touch yourself at night.
I accept your concession
>xaxaxaxa dumb hohol bridge is fine
>what? We use ferries now because WE WANT TO
>11 hits in one spot, bridge still somewhat passable by small cars
Damn. That weapon is exceptionally unsuited for this particular job. Each of these missiles could have been used to destroy a Russian artillery piece instead. It's not reassuring that they've committed themselves to trying to take down strategic infrastructure with inadequate tactical weapons. It takes a ton of precious GMLRS to even damage a bridge and then it's not impossible to repair it unless the piers are destroyed, and I've not seen any piers destroyed by GMLRS so far. Partisan posters are going to do their thing but I don't feel so optimistic about the Kherson situation right now.
>t. posting while using the ferry
>kill 11 artillery pieces
>cause every single vatnik artillery piece on the northern side of the river to suffer an ammo shortage
Gee, what a hard choice to make.
>precious GMLRS
>precious
It's ammo, you dumb shit. The mutts produce thousands of 'em each month. Ukies ain't gonna be running out anytime soon.
>cause every single vatnik artillery piece on the northern side of the river to suffer an ammo shortage
That's what was supposed to happen in theory, it didn't work out in practice as well as expected so the offensive had to be either significantly postponed or called off completely.
>The mutts produce thousands of 'em each month
Literally no and I have the bills to prove it, you frothing at the mouth fanatic.
>Literally no and I have the bills to prove it
Your document literally states they do. Are you having brain problems, kacap? Are you crying right now?
Can you read? Max production capacity for 2023: 10,002. Army ordered 4,674 missiles and Marines 834 more.
5,508/12= 459 missiles a month.
>By December 2021, 50,000 GMLRS rockets had been produced,[40] with yearly production then exceeding 9,000 rockets. Each rocket pod contains 6 identical rockets.
>max production capacity is 10,002
Not him, but this is a pointless nitpick. If burgers wanted to, they could easily make thousands each month, because the max capacity for peace time is more than 800 a month. What's more important now is how many do burgers have total right now considering 50,000 have been produced so far. 40,000 precision missiles is more than enough, because they can actually hit their targets. 40,000 missiles = 40,000 less ammo depots and command centers for the vatniks.
And supply trucks and trains. Little by little, the Russian invasion force is running out of supplies.
Mark Cancian from CSIS estimates about 20,000 rounds were expended in training and in war against the Islamic State.
His documents says there's about 5.000 GMLRS produced each year.
That's not thousands per month.
That's not even one thousand per month.
That's not even half of that, in fact.
We know there's a bottleneck effect for the use of HIMARS because of ammunition.
That's why the US also gave M777 which, while less effective, have plenty of ammo in storage.
>Peacetime production is the same as war production
Lol, if the US wants to mass supply these missiles, anon, they can.
>procurement quantity: 5.9k, 5.3k, 4.9k
>in prior years: 50k
Oh no no no no
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
>it didn't work out in practice
Except, you know, it did work out and is currently actively working out outside of your vatBlack person delusions.
>produce thousands of 'em each month
i hate to be that guy, but you misspelled "hundreds"
If Kherson is liberated and 30,000 Vatasiatic soldiers get fricking rekt, my sides will accelerate to escape velocity.
A trapped force in Kherson without supplies is fricked. Ukraine needs to strangle the garrison there.
i imagine it would end the war on the spot, such loss can't be just shrugged off and even the most moronic of general public are going to notice that russia is fricking weak.
>i imagine it would end the war on the spot, such loss can't be just shrugged off and even the most moronic of general public are going to notice that russia is fricking weak.
So you understand why Russia is diverting troops from LDPR of all places to Kherson, then, right?
sure, but that might not be the best of ideas.
I think Ukraine can win Kherson provided it fights dirty as frick. Keep the Russians cut off, strike their logistics, and blast them from afar. Also let the partisans keep on doing their thing.
Assault the Russians without mercy, and give them as little chance to fight back as possible.
> dirty as frick
Ya mean smart?
Oh, and I just had a truly wicked idea. Ukraine should set up loudspeakers and blare patriotic music at deafening levels at night. Rob the occupiers of SLEEP.
Of course it's smart. Fair fights are reserved for adversaries actually worthy of such treatment.
All the Russians should hear, every single night, is the Ukrainian National Anthem ringing in their ears.
I agree. "Anaconda Plan" their asses.
Buy a bunch of cheap eletric helo drones or quads and make them do autonomous missions over the russian positions while blaring meme music

https://www.albinoblacksheep.com/flash/mikomiko
If you can force a surrender or a withdrawal-sans-equipment in this manner it's manifestly the smarter way to do things. Less damage to your own shit, your troops remain fresher for necessary pitched battles, and you're not answerable to anything partisans do to invaders they capture. "Starve the beast" is a good route if they can't defend their logistics well enough.
"Dirty as frick" would be poisoning wells and mass bombing any place Russian soldiers are at, no matter civilians. What you propose is the best way to win that fight.
Idk about troops Ukraine has in Zaporizhia but swinging through Melitopol to Nova Kakhovka from south would be most hilarious disaster for Russia
Well people have been poisoning the Russians' food. Though personally I'd go after their precious alcohol.
Also the partisans should pour BLEACH in the enemy's gas tanks. Ruin the vehicles.
It's a simple way for Ukrianian partisans to frick up the Russians' best laid plans.
I imagine at the minimum, the Ukrainians will be able to salvage working parts even from wrecked Russian vehicles.
https://vehiclefreak.com/bleach-in-gas-tank-what-happens-to-the-engine/
>can't be just shrugged off and even the most moronic of general public
you underestimate how fricking moronic vatBlack folk are.
No, the bridge is basically impassable for any large supplies or heavy vehicles. That’s some serious structural damage that will need repair work, you’re not moving armor over that.
Damn, I guess I'm gonna have to call my congressman and tell him to send Ukraine a few GBU-43/B MOABs.
Those are entrance wounds not exit wounds. morons who don't know how bridges work think them minor.
Look underneath 🙂
I reckon some of the pre/post stressed cables are fricked so most of the damage to the bridge's strength is invisible. Needless to say, simply laying a couple girders over the potholes won't fix that.
I wouldn't drive a tank over that.
How many weeks worth of supplies do you guys think the russians in Kherson have if they can't be resupplied via road or air? My guess is two, maybe three if they really stretch it.
They will get supplied by helicopters and river ferries. It just complicates their supply situation and together with HIMARS taking care of their ammo depot they won't have that much ammo. Russia is heavily dependent on heavy fire power and without they are vulnerable. You can tell by all the vatBlack folk ITT getting nervous.
gee I wonder if those ferries and helis will be targeted or something
Piggies wouldn't dare shoot down a Russian helicopter, and haven't.
The eyebrow is being raised
P.S. If you mean food by supplies, yes for weeks, if you mean ammo and fuel, I doubt they have 3 days worth stored west of the river, they go through hundreds of tons each day.
They won't run out, but supplies will get lower and their fighting power will follow.
If you take artillery for example, they can move some rounds, will have some supplies, but they won't be able to barrage whatever they want because that'll require too many shells. They'll have to be more picky as to when they fire, do without when possible and so on.
They can likely loot enough food from farmers to get by for months, ammo on the other hand is going to become as issue. That said if this is legit I'm sure Russia will be willing to risk a few Mi-8s to keep them supplied.
What will be interesting is if Russia will make any attempt to pull them back or not, they might fall for the "they fight harder with their backs to the wall" meme and get mass surrenders.
You're expecting upto 30,000 men to survive by pilfering from farms, in a war zone, that have probably not been active for months. Your expectation is that 30,000 men can survive, essentially, on a hunter-gatherer lifestyle and remain combat effective.
>pilfering from farms
Have you seen the lines of trucks stealing Ukrainian grain? I'm not saying they are going to be having fun but they could stay alive.
>lines of trucks stealing Ukrainian grain
That isn't being eaten by any Russians. It's being loaded onto ships and sold to countries desperate enough to do business with Russia.
By the way, looting during war time is a war crime. Especially if the attacking/occupying force is methodically conducting the looting for the profit of their state.
Those ships carrying stolen Ukrainian grain should be seized and their crews tried as fricking pirates.
Yes. We may yet see that, too. All cargo ships are subject to search and audit. There has already been talk of a coordinated worldwide effort to track looting and sales of stolen goods. There are few routes or ports available where Russia can completely avoid such scrutiny.
But HIMARS cant destroy a modern bridge :/
Did they plant the explosives by engineers?
Shit's fubar isn't it?
Do you see a long line of cars driving over it? This boy is done.
As a bridge engineer, I would say it is still fine for car and small trucks. Definitely not for heavy equipment like tanks.
All those weapons.....ripe for Ukraine's eventual capture and "repurposing".
That's old vatnik drone video. Needs update.
In case of Nova Khakolvka i'm more curious about Ukraines ability to overflow the dam (and potentially some Crimea lowlands using the feed channel) by emptying the HPP upstream. Could they wash out a a bombed section like that? What would be the consequences?
holy shit vatBlack folk are seething ITT
When aren't they?
No biggie, we can still use ferries and pontoons
>aaaah i'm pontooning!
NO, GOSPODIN! NOT THE PONTOONS AGAIN!
>pontoons

Who knows what things will come out in the future.
Kherson is obsolete, so it's okay if we lose it. It will only make room from brand new cities.
>Kherson is obsolete
It's the road to Odessa Vatnik. Not that you would be able to take it but still.
Odessa? No such city exists, hohol homosexual. It is fake, lie of troony propaganda artisans and child rapistries.
>child rapistries

>No biggie, we can still use ferries and pontoons
t. pontoooooner
>Water: the vatnik's natural enemy.
Yup. Dis gunn'a end just ssooooo weellllll. Can't wait.
At this point, the "Kherson offensive" is clearly a psyop that nobody's buying.
It forced Russian to move 30 BTG from Donbass and Izium to this area and now they have real hard time suppling them. Offensive will begin soon.
I guess thats then why Russia moved 15K reinforcements into Kherson. Any why would Ukraine even try to attack before thy have cut the supply lines? That would be pretty stupid, better first to kill the bridges, destroy the air bases in crimea and set the stage right.
Hohols will unironically retake Kherson by the end of the year. Btw, I am dead serious.
Maybe? Assuming that they even can, I have to wonder that if the Ukrainians can stand to wait, that dragging out the standoff around Kherson as long as possible isn't just the better option.
All those "two more offensives" posts lol
It's like they forgot what Russia's original plan was and an Ukranian counter offensive in any capacity wasn't part of it.
I wanted to say they've been shifting the goalposts the whole war, but I think they got so lost in their moronic narrative that their main concern is proving Ukrainian claims wrong. Turns out they happily shifted from real victories to twitter victories and don't see the problem.
What makes you think russia has no "real" victories when they keep taking chunks of ukraine that they're unable to reclaim.
how long have donetsk and lugansk been "separatists" now?
>that they're unable to reclaim
Yet.
>how long have donetsk and lugansk been "separatists"
Far too long.
>how long have donetsk and lugansk been "separatists" now?
Not for long if Vatniks will keep depopulating these regions from it inhabitants and use them as cannon fodder. Soon there wont me anyone to sustain even ilussion of separatist movement.
Which will be a bad thing for the Russians. They'll be forced to lock a ton of occupation troops into those areas, lol.
Going on the attack while your logistics are being destroyed isn't wise, lol.
>your logistics are being destroyed
Which they aren't. Otherwise they wouldn't still be taking shit.
Is that why you moved your ammo depots far back, stretching your supply lines?
Non-zog source on that?
literally the PROOFS meme, even when given source lmao
God you're dumb.

Since 2014 when Russia sent in its first waves of Little Green Men taking "vacation" time from their duty stations in the Russian military.
Glad I could clear that up for you.
when are you guys retaking Donetsk, Lugansk, The Crimean, Kherson or any of the nuclear plants?
you guys talk a big game but keep losing your country slice by slice. are you guys going to counter-invade the russian mainland anytime soon?
When are you going to take Kiev, Kharkiv, and Odessa?
>retreats from Kiev, Kharkiv, Sumy, Chernihiv and the entire north
ok
Russians cannot hold shit if their logistical systems are wrecked.
Ukraine needs to continue to strike the underbelly of the Russian military beast until the intestines spill out.
> when are you guys retaking any of the nuclear plants?
Why plural if you only control one of those?
it's a way of coping, you weren't supposed to notice that
I always feel happy when I see mention of nuclear plants under construction. Gives me some hope.

Friend is an architect and he said you could probably drive a tank over it.... for a time. He said it could last one pass or twenty. But he said that it isn't a simple fix with concrete. That would make it okay for civilian cars to go on, slowly, with gaps in between, but not military stuff (again you COULD but it won't be 100%).
You can't fix prestressed concrete. If they missed all the support beams you could put steel plates over the hole and it'd hold. If they hit something important it might hold one tank or 20, but when it's gonna give it's just gonna give, without any real warning to it
frick off concern troll
Frick off one-note shill.
A 5 month old image from when you thought Russia would still win is all you have, cope.
Even though I feel it's highly unlikely, I would laugh myself to death if Russia actually falls for a feint and then gets cauldrooned.
how many troops are left north of the river? Probably fewer than there were when they started shelling the bridges. The ones left are lambs for the slaughter.
There was 10k troops before on the northern bank, now there are 25k because Russia pulled in reinforcements. Thats what so funny about it.
Why don’t the HIMARS detonate when hitting a bridge? Are the fuses not sensitive enough to trigger going through a thin layer of concrete? Do they just go straight into the water as duds?
It's made to penetrate it's target before it explodes.
So yeah, HIMARS is not usefull for this kind of target.
It seems to have done the job beautifully. Damaged the bridge just enough so only civilian vehicles can drive over. Force the forces there to either flee and leave their equipment or get fricked.
videos from the bridge showed they penetrated alright and hit the spans below the concrete and cut part of the tensioning cables. now that bridge is a pre tensioned concrete bridge and with the tension cables damaged it has become unsafe to use. And thats why Russia ae forced to use ferries and are short on supplies. Cool, isn't it?
This is why Russia is going to get buttfricked into oblivion during WW3. They're sending the best shills they've got to this board to try and argue with us... And your average fricking nerd ass /k/ommando can explain, succinctly, the logic and rationale of a particular use of force.
>videos from the bridge

>meanwhile the bridge is exclusively for the use of the military
You're dumber than shit, literally. Russian military is using a designated ferry for over a week now. Luckily you're a name gay, so it is easy to filter you for good. bye.
yo, fakemagne. how come you went so quiet after this post:
?
what's the deal with that? you're not insane and full of denial are you?
I wonder how many tanks each of those barges can hump across the river at a time. Looks like it could be hundreds. Ukies better surrender before they arrive.
The potholes aren't the real damage, the real damage is the HIMARS blowing up UNDER the bridge and destroying all of the supports and cables. That's what vatniks and /chug/ fail to understand
The HIMARS rockets blowing up under the bridge*
>muh bridge totally ok
>HIMARS totally doesn't work
>They have to ferry motorbikes.
Bridge can totally handle a few columns of tanks and other heavy equipment. It's all a feint.
would be just horrible if a drone attacked that
imagine a artillery round striking that in the middle.
Nice.

Are you telling me the Vatinks will take civilians as hostages and use them as human shield? Or indiscriminately massacre them? Stuff they always do?
It's okay, it's just hohols 🙂
Partisans will get the perpetrators' names.
>Are you telling me the Vatinks will take civilians as hostages and use them as human shield?
They are already doing that by occupying residences and the whole place overall to prevent UAF artillery from blowing them up on the spot. No need to wait for urban warfare.
>Or indiscriminately massacre them? Stuff they always do?
Russians will take all of the food and water that the civilians might still have stored and then have them for dinner before Ukrainians can move in and do anything about it.
Russians already meme Ukrainians as pigs and non-humans. Actually acting on these beliefs is just the natural step on their deevolution.
That's why they haven't completely destroyed the bridges
I doubt theres going to be an offensive there, Russians forcefully drafted thousands of locals to reinforce their depleted units, and Ukrainians dont want to kill their own. They will probably just negotiate for the release of the drafted locals in exchange for free passage. This also protects them from local insurgents, they're not going to start blowing up random Russians knowing it could be one their neighbors who was forced to serve at gunpoint.
The Ukrainians can simply trap the Russians in Kherson, preventing them from escaping or being resupplied.
Sure thing, they're just gonna talk it trough.
ISIS did similar things in Syria and successfully used the hostages to evacuate their troops from encircled positions.
Russians are welcome to leave Kherson.....WITHOUT their weaponry. All that shit they brought? That belongs to Ukraine now.
lol
pidorashka *~~
>Russians forcefully drafted thousands of locals to reinforce their depleted units
Russians have to moronic to do that
Locals who get drafted have to be moronic to go through that
Conscripted locals than start firing on the Russians the moment the Ukrainians move in,
Yes, I saw on here a while ago. Pro-Ukranians reported it as a simple hostage situation, while pro-Russians reported it as local volunteers signing up (which is obvious bs) my guess is they're not given access to any weapons or ammunition and their family is held hostage too. The numbers vary but it seems the Russians replaced between 3k and 8k casualties this way. This helps free up Russian non combat personnel for frontline duty. I also read that Russians are doing similar things in melitopol.
Most likely Vatniks resolved to take theor families as hostages. Kherson is one of the most pro Ukraine regions and people there hate Russians. Vatniks are playing with fire and I hope they fricking burn to cinders in it.
Kherson had some pro Russian morons though. If you want to see pro ukraine you are talking about Lviv. They could drink Russian blood
Wait wait. Are you telling me that those 30 TBG sent to reinforce and fortify in Kherson to stop Ukraine advance are now cut off from supplies and only way for these Vatniks to get out of to abandon all that heavy equipment they brought?
Correct. Russians are stupid.
Holly damn. Ukies pulled out actually genius feint. And Vatniks swallowed bait, hook, line sinker and rood. Now other places are less protected.
And loss of the airfield cut any air support capabilities by half in that region.
Massive respect to Holols.
And what are you going to do if it turns out they're not cut off, not out of ammo, and the Kherson counteroffensive cauldron isn't happening?
what kind of a dumb question is that? Either they're cut off or not. For now it seems that they are, since they have no functional bridge left.
They'll memoryhole it. Just like all the other inconvenient shit.
It's also entirely possibly they will evolve wings and wipe out all of Ukraine from the air. Anything could happen. Vatnik krokodil hallucinations are a rich source of alternative realities that continue to surprise and amaze.
Ned to stop sending so much materiel.
Russia needs to be flayed over a long period of time. Can't end the war too quickly.
Thats what the US is doing.
It won't. Putin is too stubborn and stupid to recognize reality.
We could RAMP UP support for Ukraine and the stupid Russians would STILL bum-rush in.
>bridge at the dam in Nova Khakolvka is now closed
for an hour or so. that bridge is only 15m long, it doesn't need much to fix it
>inb4 but muh pretensioned cables
fifteen
meters
you can safely span that with some steel beams.
>Another fake "Based Charlie Magne Poster"
Vatniks, it's so cute I live rent-free in your heads.
qrd?
Sure it's easy to fix...when you're not at risk of another artillery strike.
Black person ukries can send a rocket or two every night there, just to send the message. And US will supply more
>it doesn't need much to fix it
>you can safely span that with some steel beams
The rockets probably fricked up the cables in the prestressed concrete. That's not something you fix and it makes the bridge effectively useless depending on how many of the cables got and will get fricked.
I wonder what they're actually planning to do. Based on the western articles I can find, Ukraine has no immediate plans to retake Kherson, because they lack the conventional weaponry required for an offensive. It's not specified what this is referring to, but I'm assuming they mean tanks and IFVs, and to a lesser extent, various forms of artillery and air support.
With the extensive fog of war, it's hard to know what's going on at all, and whether something is a feint (heh) or simply deliberate disinformation. If they've actually trapped the Russian homosexuals in Kherson by blowing up the bridges, I genuinely wonder what their plans are, both in the short term and in the long term.
Either way, it's going to be interesting to read about all of this shit after the war is over and done with, and just how much shit has been hidden from the general public.
>I wonder what they're actually planning to do
Lure shitloads of Russian troops and armor in and over time destroy the bridges. No fuel etc for the Vatnik armor.
Hopefully.
This whole war is giving me a big ol' revenge boner, and it just grows with every dead Russian.
Without fuel, that armor is just booty for Ukraine to take from Russia.
>they still believe in the mythical "Kherson offensive"
>he still believes in mythical "donbass offensive"
They keep taking land tho, while "kherson offensive" has nothing
Did they capture Pisky for the fifth time this week? Or maybe they took Siversk for 10th time?
>They keep taking land tho
At slower pace than WW1. How did that work for Germans?
>"kherson offensive" has nothing
Bilohirka, Lozove, Andriivka, Blahodatne... This is just what we know of that got through the media blackout on the Kherson front.
Ukrainians would be complete morons to attack now and waste equipment when they are winning the arty war. Half a year of this shit and ruskis are completely fricked.
>they are winning the arty war
Source?
Everything? Not one of the western systems was destroyed by russians yet. And they just lost a billion $ in aircraft.
>Everything?
What?
>Not one of the western systems was destroyed by russians yet
How can you know this?
>And they just lost a billion $ in aircraft.
Non-zog source?
Holy fricking cope ruskies are hilarious.
They seem to have missed. Look at the craters. None of them hit the aircraft, which are all fully intact, if somewhat disassembled, which is entirely on purpose for maintenance reasons.
They hit everything they aimed at.
Pick up my hat.
Twitter posts and youtubers. What do you mean that's not real proof? It says it right there vatnik!
More critically, the Ukrainians are winning The Logistics War.
Supplies flow to Ukraine. Russia is running out.
>the Ukrainians are winning The Logistics War.
Evidence?
post planes.
So...you have no evidence
no, you don't have planes.
Are playing the reddit game with me, shill?

Here's a Russian ammo storage. Notice the lack of something?
Russians can only dream of such wealth.
>brand new pallets
American pallets seem weird
EPAL master race i guess
Pallets. God, Russia is pathetic. You'd think a nation with a frickton of TREES would have PALLETS.
If Ruskies used pallets, Russians would simply steal them and use them for firewood and bunkerage.
Ukraine is like this too. There is no way that Russia or Ukraine can operate something like palletized cargo because nobody in Russia or Ukraine actually believes in their job.
American black people however have absolutely no problem whatsoever being a backbone of the US Military logistics network.
>Russians cannot have logistics like African-Americans administer in the US Army.
>Ukraine is like this too.
They're not, that's why they're wrecking their shit. The more the war progresses, the more the difference between both becomes evident. Ukraine is what Russia should aspire to become.
Shiogu needs those trees, they can't just use them for lowly things like pallets.
>putin huilo
Is this crap still going?
Who even gives a shit anymore
Let me guess, not the first post by this IP
You are bad at guessing
Does this idea hold any promise?

> The Ukrainians have the advantage, as Andrews’ Raiders did, of being able to pass for the enemy. Thus, it would be possible for Ukrainian Special Forces to take advantage of anonymity and attack several railroad chokepoints simultaneously, deep within Russia. If successful, such strikes would not only cause massive logistics problems that would multiply as summer faded and winter set in, but they also would create a huge propaganda shock that would hit Putin squarely in the groin.
>The targets for such attacks are four railroad bridges, one in Voronezh one in Vologograd and two at the intersection of railways in Fokinsky Rayon.
I think the Ukrainians should fricking go for it. Hit the railroad bridges inside Russia.
I want her to step on my testicles
They should, it would be funny to see the comando teams on TV denouncing Okraina after they get captured.
>hit Putin squarely in the groin
I'd rather see him take a boxcutter deep into his taint.
It's never gonna happen, but getting Gaddafi'd would be the least he deserves. Just drop him naked in the middle of Kyiv.
>Drop Putin into a crowd full of angry Ukrainians
He'd die faster than President Snow.
yeah
Just send him to Serbia. The locals will lock him up and harvest his blood and semen, they believe it will give them supernatural powers.
Visually confirmed cope.
Got to be good when he has tracked thousands and it's always the same handful of cope pictures trying to discredit him.
In the buck broken mind of the vatnik if just one is blurry that’s means they thousands of clear ones don’t count, doesn’t matter if it’s a still from a video
>video stills
Many such cases
>don't believe your eyes goy these are hato propaganda
what % of the total are these?
>https://smallwarsjournal.com/jrnl/art/ukraine-think-deep-attacks-against-russian-logistics
The oremise is right, one og the benefits on being on home turf is that enemy supply lines are more vulnerable than yours, but it seems kind of fancy-pants when the Ukes can just send flying squads out to mess with russian convoys and blow up actual trains
True, true. But some Russian chokepoints are out of missile reach.
We also though Crimea was, yet here we are
THIS IS JUST WHAT RUSSIA WANTED!
It frees up the soldiers who were being kept in the rear to shoot any retreating soldiers. Now the combined might of the Russian army will march forward and defeat all of NATO!
Nothing, really. Ukraine doesn't have the forces necessary to conduct successful offensive in that direction. Vatniks fell for the offensive meme and pulled some forces from the Donbas region Ukies did the whole fake offensive because their defences in Donbas started to show cracks. Nothing will come out this. You can screenshot this and remind me in 30 days, by then the offensive will still not happen. .
Does lopsided attrition warfare on the defender's terms count as an offensive or do we reserve that word for driving down undefended roads to paint the map red
Ukraine just needs to hammer Russia's logistics & command and control until the enemy bleeds to death.
Who cares, bridge was old obsolete model. Ukraine did us a favor. We have B14 bridgemata pontoon now.

i'm sure the ukrainians will give their country up any day now
2 more weeks
So why arent ferrirs realistic to supply the kherson garrison?
t.moron
To use a ferry to be your main supply route
>vehicles arrive at landing
>wait while vehicles are loaded onto ferry
>slow trip across river
>wait while vehicles are offloaded
Turns a 5 minute crossing into a 30 minute or more ordeal where supply vehicles are easy targets for drones or artillery.
Shh. SSHHH! Stop trying to help them. It will be far more adorable to watch them figure it out themselves. The videos will be kino.
Is that a serious question? Can you imagine trying to supply ammunition, fuel, and food sufficient enough for the daily consumption of a force of 25,000 men? Not to mention whatever civilians are there also.
>how does that play
do you forgot that russians have pontoons like 2 weeks now in the area?

Hey /k/, should Ukraine give Russia a taste of Syrian Medicine?
Such weapons would be easy to improvise.
Wouldn't these be better as IEDs disguised as fuel drums?
these work when the enemy doesnt have thousands of AA systems
Why not just drones to drop them on the Vatniks?
Russian agents are definitely in the media promoting their lies. You can tell when they leave out Russia's Logistical problems.
I wouldn't use a subjective term like "better." These are two possible applications of the concept, useful each in its own way under different circumstances.
With the insane amount of munitions available in Ukraine right now, I'd imagine that this design can be improved upon in several ways to further extend useful applications. Trying to imagine how much more bang is possible should TNT be swapped out for C4. For example.
>Barrel bomb with C4
Yeah that would definitely blow Russians to hell. It would also help boost Ukraine's ability to strike more targets, freeing up HIMARS for the important strikes.
Barrel bombs can be unleashed on infantry formations.
Considering it's an imprecise explosion weapon, I'd use it on large widespread targets. Namely Russian reinforcements out in the open.
Barrel bombs seem easy for Ukraine to make. Drop them on Russian positions.
BIG boom.
What Russia doesn't seem to realize is that the longer this war goes on, the more we figure out it doesn't actually take that much to seriously frick with Russia's capabilities.
where is the russian offensive and why are you spamming?
It's going on slowly, I wouldn't worry about it 🙂
And the topic is Herson, the picture was abou Herson, how is that spam?
0.02% last month isn't an offensive
where are the offensives? where is the strategy?
I mean, slowly taking ground isn't an offensive by some standards I guess. Though the speed isn't a requisite as far as I know. And to answer your question, the offensive right now is on the Artemovsk-Soledar axis. When it's completed, it will hamper the resupply of Seversk in the North. The overall strategy here seems to be a slow and steady advance peacemeal, slowly erradicating the Ukrainian army along with it.
Which is why Ukraine can and must continue to strike ALL points of Russian Logistics: trains, depots, trucks, etc.
Without supplies, an attacking force cannot advance far.
I think it's time for Ukraine to start using the Barrel Bomb. It's not too hard to mass-produce (fricking backward Syria built SEVENTEEN THOUSAND of the fricking things), and it will seriously frick up Russian massed formations when loaded with C4.
no, !jeb!, that isn't a strategy any more than punching a nail is a strategy to hammer it into an oak log. russia tried strategy in the first month and went poorly. the current situation indicates a lack of strategy, and generals that are out of ideas.
Arty-spamming is useless if the Ukrainians disable Russian Logistics.
Personally I also think Ukraine needs to start putting IEDs in the path of Russians and remote-detonating the frickers.
Ukrainians, you want to win this? You fight with EVERY TRICK in the book.
Begin making Improvised Explosive Devices and blowing up Russians with them. Vatniks try to advance? They keep trying? Barrel bombs.
Maximum casualties are a must. Paint the grass red.
Seriously, look at this stuff. It's not hard for you to make Ukraine.
To use an old Vietnamese saying about the French, "Kill all they send, and they'll stop coming."
ol charlie mayne
Much as we praise the HIMARS, I think Ukraine needs to augment its efforts with much simpler & cheaper weapons. Ukraine needs explosive weapons to hit the Russian infantry formations NOW, and using HIMARS to do it is a fricking waste of its long-range precision.
Cheap explosive weapons are the best route to go on that. They can be used over and over to blow up the Russians at will, while the HIMARS do the precise long-range attacks. Ukraine simply doesn't have enough HIMARS to hit all the targets they want to strike at point-blank range.
Let the cheap shit kill the Russians close to the front lines.
TLDR version: If Ukraine can endlessly hit the Russian entire front-line with cheap (but deadly) explosives, they'll wear the Russians down with their own form of arty-spam.
The problem with that principle is: cheap explosive weapons would have to be driven directly to the front, where they'd be massacred by counterbattery. If you're the guy advocating for barrel bombs from helis, that doesn't work either for obvious reasons.
Drones actually. No need to risk pilot lives. Expendable drones for cheap ordinance.
Well that's what they're doing already. The problem with that is the limited payload and range.
They seem to be doing fine with it.
s/fine/nothing/
Still advancing.
And at the rate they're going, this exact advance will end with the conquering of all Ukraine by the year 2122.
So?
backwards
>GUR Spokesperson Andriy Usov reported on August 12 that Russian forces do not have a final date for their pseudo-referenda to annex occupied Ukrainian territories because Russian forces "do not control the situation" and no longer feel safe in Ukraine.[50] He argued that two factors are preventing Russian occupiers from holding their referenda: Ukrainian forces continue to liberate occupied territories, and Ukrainian civilians in occupied areas do not support the referenda. Russian occupation authorities continue to produce pro-referendum propaganda, however. The Russian deputy head of the Kherson Oblast Occupation Administration, Kirill Stremousov, shared videos of his meetings with citizens of Kherson Oblast on Telegram on August 12 alongside a claim that his meetings prove the people of Kherson Oblast “unanimously” want to join Russia to attain “economic stability, social equality, and security.[51]
