it's standard russian tactics, you wouldn't understand.
Why is it called snake island? Is that were they immigrated to when they left Ireland?
>anglos so mad they bring us up for no reason in ukraine threads
MICKED
>light-hearted joke referencing internationally well-known myth about St Patrick expelling snakes from Ireland.
>goes over your head entirely, and is immediately construed to be another episode in the cancerous bong-paddy feud on PrepHole,
I thought the Irish prided themselves on being good sports at banter, you even have your own reddity term for it.
hes probably american,
St Patrick was born in England lel (or Scotland or Wales, depends on the source, certainly ain't fricking Ireland).
>internationally known myth
No.
there were snakes there when it was discovered by ancient greeks 3000 years ago
A gesture of good faith.
That's an impressive bombardment for 4 hours.
Donbas is Russian now. You're never getting it back.
>still can't take the Donbass
>minimal gains while manpower declines
>running out of ammo, morale, food.
Tovarish, the offensive is going well, we've only been taking 3.6 hundred losses a day I'm assured its the equivalent of a Red Army offensive.
The Russian army will collapse in 2 weeks.
I know it's a meme, but do you remember how fast and sudden the north front collapsed? They might leave Kherson tomorrow to reinforce the eastern front.
Unlikely. Kherson is the most important thing they have taken other than the Mariupol corridor. If they lose Kherson they no longer control the fresh water supply to Crimea
I mean, probably not but anything can happen like that whole Kiev front. They aren't really holding the south very well and their forces in Donbass haven't been doing great.
Its entirely possible we could see another rapid collapse of their forces.
And then you woke up.
You're never getting kiev front back
In 2023, your whole country will be under Russian control, and you'll still be bragging that Russia retreated from Kiev at the start of the war. He who laughs last, laughs the loudest.
>Two more years
You're never getting the Moskva back either.
Russia will return it as a goodwill gesture.
Sounds like someone's in need of a gesture of good faith.
What was even the point of holding Snake Island? It was like the Russians were just offering themselves up as target practice Ukraine.
If they had a couple of flankers on patrol around the island, taking shifts to keep a 24/7 presence, then maybe they could’ve shot down a few Ukie drones if the latter were dumb enough to keep sending them. They may be cheap, but Ukraine doesn’t build the Bayrakters itself, any lost at snake island is going to mean less drones for more important fronts.
It's a territorial waters thing. The island itself is tactically irrelevant, but it has implications for who controls waterways at the end of the war. Russia giving it up is actually a big deal.
The mineral rights around the island. Russia wants dat Black Gold.
NCD, it's the closest Reddit has to the military shitposting of /k/
It's called the slaughterhouse.
The goodwill special
kek
>ahahaha ukhols are so funny hahaha reddit
have a nice day
>muh reddit
Hoes mad x24
These ukis are fricking savage oh my god, hahahaha
Why do Ukies love shitposting irl so much?
they are morally superior
Internet generation goes to war.
>upboats are F-35s
>downboats are A-10s
wasting time on a shit island that has a maximum use of dropping a radar and 8 guys on it
>literally burnt to a crisp and filled with craters
Its so funny the rusians waited so long to leave, imagine if you were the poor bastard tasked with defending that rock, and upon arrival you found the smoldering remains of your predecessors
Devilish hohols air-dropped their own anti-air systems after they've been destroyed by glorious russian air force, comrade, don't worry about it
>Gesture of good will.
Still laughing.
What's the tactical advantage of setting alight an empty island with phosphorus?
to cover up the retaliatory biolabs
They want to delay the inevitable tiktoks of Ukrainian soldiers dancing in front of a Ukrainian flag on the island. Russians are surprisingly incredibly butthurt about the loss of this piece of rock for some reason.
Probably the wider strategy of needing to claim they are making steady advances and the war is just a matter of time. Losing ground anywhere throws that into question.
alright, i'm going to swim there right now and flash my bare ass so all the satellites can see.
There's an ideological reason for it anon
By his logic Ukraine was controlling the course of world history for the past 20+ years? Damn, why didn't it control it in a way where Russia didn't attack it then?
>Fascist
Nah, he is clear antifa.
He's a moron that wants to be fricked by mexican mutt dick, he's not a political anything
Probably so they can film it and declare "MISSION ACCOMPLISHED" over the footage, justifying why they left.
TO ALL moronS THAT STILL DON'T GET IT
It has exactly 0, ZERO meaning what is on this small island, it's all about sea law. Each piece of land owned by a nation has a huge nation-exclusive sea zone around it. That's it. That's why both sides keep dying for that rock, simple as
Ukrainians did not die for it.
Ukraine has lost 0 men on snake Island. They expended some ammunition and fuel, I'll grant you
There's a reason the Irish and Bongs fight over who owns Rockall (it's the Bongs, they landed on the fricking place).
A special operation
>Also ukies made 2 failed landing-assault ops
In vatBlack person propaganda only. Bet you also believe that the landings were led form the fornt by a british officer who got killed LMAO.
The heli one is particularily funny in just how desperate a lie it was. Because that was a russian helicopter getting blapped while landing reinforcements.
I hope someone posts that gif of ruskies landing on the island, getting bombed, landing again, bombed, over and over again.
but chug told me this are azog special forces with HATO officer
expect for obvious joke, Do you guys seeing how Russians are incompatible of leading, There MUST be high rank officer on the ground to lead an attack.
It's a sign of how little trust they place in their soldiers and won't let them take their own initiative. Everything is top down for them. Imagine having an army without an nco corps to make decisions on the ground. This is the shitshow you get.
Always remember that r/chug continue to claim it was a ukie chopper even after their favorite russian propaganda sources had to admit it was their own.
>noooo ukies would never do such a stupid thing like a stupidly dangerous mission for a huge and juicy propaganda win attempt, its not like they did something like that in Severodonetsk or Mariupol, noooo
Perhaps there would be evidence for such operations if they did happen. Like, say, pictures of dead Ukrainian soldiers taken by Russians there?
best I can do is a picture of a corpse that magically becomes more blurry when you spot russian gear on it
I don't know if you noticed but the people they claimed to have killed were from Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six.
I suppose looking in the book of a novel by an insurance salesman to find out what NATO would send is a step up from SIMS 3 but not by much.
>you can more or less dig in the infantry there
What? Are you going to build bunkers under the heavy fire? It's completely impossible to dig in on that island for Russia.
There was no heavy fire but occasional missile strikes, Ukraine never had artillery systems with enough range, even M777 were supplied with short range, cheap ammo. It was enough to destroy the equipment, but infantry in trenches was relatively safe. Except, well, being mostly useless after that due to the comms hardware loss.
Low info Black folk like you should be immediately banned from this website.
>numbers made - 1
>current position from ukie telegram channels - Kherson region
Hello, redditcuck. Bye, redditcuck.
>sees a video of shells hitting the island
>starts deflecting immediately
EXACTLY what Russia is doing in Donbas. Bombard defenders until they leave their position.
>not make enraged bombarding them
Perhaps they would stop bombing malls and residential buildings then. That makes "hohols" a hundred times angrier than seeing dead soldiers.
>They're actually bombing the island to destroy their abandoned equipment
>Most of the bombs are missing
The Russian air force everybody

HAHHAHAHAHHA fricking moronic subhumans holy shit. russia please do at least something right for once HAHHAHAHA
can't make this shit up man.
Why are vatniks so shit?
My favourite bit of cope of the entire war so far was the Russians sniffy insistence that the Ukrainian bombers, which did hit their targets, were flown "unprofessionally".
The Russians try to do the same and miss.
Its a signature of every creature who runs soviet software in their heada is that they accuse/project onto others their own sins.
This is not only true for the R*soid slave that has been generationally broken, but also for western zombies that have had their brains rotted through Russian active measures.
You're right and I find it incredibly strange. Its officially recognised to the point that when Russia claimed Ukraine might have chemical weapons, NATO went mad sending NBC gear to Kyiv.
Still more accurate than american bombs. our misses always end up striking schools full of kids for some reason miles away from the intended target.
Nah, those are the targets.
The fricking guy is STILL living rent free in your heads huh?
The Boat that Russia said Ukraine used was scraped years ago dumbass.
It didn't happen, Russia has nothing to show that it happened, and the only helicopter photo they could show was their own helicopter.
Quit with this desperate cope.
Not only you are spreading "I saw it in my dreams" tier propaganda but you are also completely fricking delusional if you think that the Yuks will be "pacified" in any shape or form after Bucha.
>in b4 bucha was hato globohomosexual propaganda
Is love to hear why life was like for the Russians stationed on that rock. I wonder how soundly they slept?
>I wonder how soundly they slept?
Very soundly.
Most of them still haven't woken up.
reminder that we have zero evidence a SINGLE Ukranian died over this island- all of the "russian warship go frick yourself!" guys were taken prisoner and then traded back to the ukies
the only way anybody else could have died is if some manned aircraft got shot down, which there's no evidence of
There was on Ukrainian anti-submarine helicopter that crashed near Odessa but I don't think that counts.
And yes Russia tried to claim that was the Special Ops Helicopter despite all evidence to the contrary.
They had to ship snowBlack folk straight from Russia to have anyone show up for 9th of May "parade" in Kherson. Plenty of pro Ukraine protests though, all under Russian control lmao.
how the frick are you homosexuals so bad at coordinating your raids holy shit. can russians do SOMETHING right lmao.
You are beyond talking to let alone helping. Please have a nice day promptly.
you have literally patrols and collaborators murdered every week and that is just the cases we know about. Cope and dilate
AHAHHAHAHAHHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAH
It was a feint. Ukraine had to concentrate so many missiles, form coastal defenses and mine their own waters around Odessa while Russia takes the lands they actually want.
Kherson isn't even in eastern Ukraine, you gigantic vatBlack person moron.
If they were winning after two hours, why haven't they won yet?
Bahahahahahahahahahaha keep them coming!! I love it!! Yes yes yes the ass blasting is so deep !! Bahahahahahahahahahahah omg I love it thank you thank you!!!
Your troony commie allies on twitter certainly don't see the Ukraine-Floyd connection
>What is this strategy called?
FORGET ABOUT FREEMAN, WE ARE CUTTING OUR LOSSES AND PULLING OUT.
My favorite part about the duginist schizo shit on this island is that it implies Romania controlled the world from 1877 to 1944
>implying they didn't
> people there are behaving more docile than your average rioting mutts or europeans
Kek, yet a local collaborator Dmytro Savluchenko and a pro-Russian official from Chornobaivka got blown up in their cars just within the last week, in two separate incidents, and on June 20th 2 russian soldiers got shot up by a local. Something's not adding up boyo
trick your enemy into thrashing their own island
Moskal material loses on snake Island. Almost a billion USD. Never mind the dozens of soldiers on the island itself and 400 sailors on moskva
Ship is fine. See?
Russia lost the chance of holding Snake Island (at this point of the war) when the Moskva was sunk. Now, they might try and grab it back again before a deal is struck just so they can claim it and it'd be a big deal if they could.
Bump, I'm not letting this die for it's shitty replacement thread.
