Yeah pretty much, although their initial plan was moronic
They just left the other areas to focus the east. Probably because the incompetent morons in charge of logistics screwed things in the north beyond repair.
Things getting so dire that everything you bring in is immediately spent. You literally can't refit and resupply fast enough and trying to fix it is a net waste of time. This also makes targeted attacks against logistics and supply chains devastating beyond the norm.

The fate of all dictators that stay in unchecked power long enough.
This happened to Japan too. After most of the Meiji restoration boomers were out of power, they started believing their own bullshit and thought they could take on the US
japan was more moronic than that
japan basically cultivated a culture of super fanatical nationalistic junior officers. These officers would habitually and routinely just murder everyone they saw as not being aggressive enough, and their bosses would just go along with it
so, like, if a politician said something along the lines of "we should build up our strength before attacking" some moronic captain or lieutenant would just straight up murder him, without being ordered to do so or anything
this went all the way to actual wars, the sino japanese was was caused by a colonel getting it into his head to false flag a war with china and everyone in the army just sorta went along with it
So that's the historical basis for the "young Erusean officers" trope in Ace Combat?
Near the start of the war NLAWs were accounting for like 40% of all tank kills and basically every random volunteer/conscript squad in KYIV had one lmao, literally perfect for that style of defence where they could be in any window and the Russians were being forced through Urban areas by pushy commanders trying to bum rush the capital.
I imagine they would have still would have held without them, but no doubt that shit helped.
I often wonder, if Ukraine hadn't given up their nukes, if this would have still happened.
>I often wonder, if Ukraine hadn't given up their nukes, if this would have still happened.
No way would it be happening, Putin massively fricked up his calculations in this war but even he isn't dumb/delusional/senile enough to frick with around with nukes.
The invasion of Ukraine has pretty much killed the idea of any country willingly giving up nukes. Hell, some countries without nukes right now may be working on getting some as a 'frick around and find out ' failsafe.

Why?
jew-b-gone. japan actually got rid of their israelites in ancient times. israelites historically were famous for telling lies to communities instilling fear so that the israeli merchants controlled trade instead of non-jews. Japan has kicked israelites out of their land before. Charlie Chaplan etc is well u know.
>Charlie Chaplin >Why?
They thought he was American and it would destabilize the US-JP diplomatic situation. He survived because his bodyguard went with him to a sumo match instead of the party the assassination had been planned for. Chaplain developed a lifelong love of sumo from the incident, and hired a couple of ex-wrestlers as his bodyguards.
No, it was a failure.
Russia always fails at the beginning before recuperating and getting the steamroller out from their cucksheds.
Crusaders, Napoleon and Hitler all learned that the hard way.
>Crusaders, Napoleon and Hitler all learned that the hard way.
Mind you, they all tried to grab some of the Russian land - and now Russia is clearly trying to grab some of the other country's land.
Speaking of which, god I wish for more sunken russian ships, it would be fooking legend. Cant bojo fricki g lose it and ha e subs go crazy on the black sea fleet or something?

Too add to this a significant part of the tanks at the battle of Moscow were from British Lend Lease.
> I have also never read anything about eastern european history.
To be fair this strategy is playing out in Russia right now, just way later than originally planned. WW2 left them desperately short on men and they’ve never fully recovered. Now most of the women left of child-bearing age don’t want to have children in such a shithole.
While it may have not been possible in the past, we now live in an age where you can actually bleed the slavs dry.
Overconfidence and utter failure of Russia's command infrastructure, underestimating the west's response to a war with Ukraine, failure to figure out that the fricking Jerry fuel can is still a viable means of on-demand fuel storage, and most importantly the Russian people had no reason to attack Ukraine. A fake Ukrainian terrorist attack on the Russian populace would've had a better strategic turnout than this garbage heap.
The Russians began a missile strike opening targeting key Ukrainian infrastructure and bases.
The expectation was to cripple an adversary who wasn’t expected to put up a fight against “superior” Russian combined arms. A push to the East and South of Ukraine was to direct troops away from the capital, while a northern front was planned to decapitate government control over the nation. The initial push was fast and came within miles of Kiev. Yet another front was hoped to be established by landing elects airborne known as the VDV at an airbase near the capital. From there more supplies and soldiers can help the extended northern lines reach Kiev and kill Volodymyr Oleksandrovych Zelenskyy. Even if that wasn’t enough, sleeper agents and their families were already established in Kiev to assist that effort.
But all of it. ALL of this was contingent upon Russian forces getting enough supplies to maintain their gains and HOLD the terrain they steamrolled though.
Ukrainian anti-air wasn’t knocked out hard enough and did a number on Russian airborne.
Anti-tank missiles were in circulation of Ukraine and allowed separated units to perform delay and destroy tactics on Russian mobile forces.
Combine this with overextending your lines on THREE FONTS it was a difficult feat even for a superpower nation.
TLDR-Overestimating your abilities to the point of expectations of the best case scenario while underestimating the opponent and their best case scenario lead to a major blow to Russian forces in the beginning of the Invasion.
Near the start of the war NLAWs were accounting for like 40% of all tank kills and basically every random volunteer/conscript squad in KYIV had one lmao, literally perfect for that style of defence where they could be in any window and the Russians were being forced through Urban areas by pushy commanders trying to bum rush the capital.

>I often wonder, if Ukraine hadn't given up their nukes, if this would have still happened.
If Ukraine didn't give up their nukes, it probably would have turned into a dangerous terrorist state eventually like North Korea or Pakistan.
Uhh. They’re down to like an eighth of the country. They’re throwing every Cold War heirloom they have at a ‘vassal state’ and the ‘globohomosexual troony’ empire hasn’t lost a single general versus how many dead Snowgerian steppe apes? Post HIV infection rate. MORE HIMARS INCOMING!
Was the intention to take all of Ukraine via government decapitation or was taking Eastern Ukraine of the plan from the beginning?
Russia is right next to that area through.
>Looks like they secured an area the size of the UK and the richest and most resource filled area of Ukraine
area that was already full of separatists scum? Half of which are now dead? >4 months.
nearly 20 years ago America took Iraq in 1 month. Russia couldn't take Mariupol after 2 months.
America hasn't won a war since ww2 that wasn't against Saddam Hussein
And even then, Iraq is not american controlled today, the oil goes to china, so an effective 100% loss rate
Russia has all the advantages to invade Ukraine >already control some of eastern side ukraine pre-invasion >Russia literally next door neighbor to Ukraine >Belarus a puppet state for Russia >Russia military size bigger than Ukraine
Even with West sending aid to Ukraine, Russia should have occupied half of Ukraine at this point or taken most of eastern Ukraine up to the point of Dnipro.
really? then why are they pissing and moaning about these "ultra-weapons"?
if they spent most of their defence budget on countering these weapons, why haven't we seen it? any time you vatBlack folk kill ukrainian troops/kindergardeners you put on a big sing and dance about how great you all are, and yet we see nothing about russia countering ANYTHING at all.
The entire war was a feint to boost the economy. Just look at how strong the ruble is. Putin will be remembered forever for this transformation of the Russian economy.
Too little offensive capable army left for Russia, and its diminishing further every day. No easy way to get to Poland. A good portion of Kaliningrad forces already pulled into Ukraine.
Russo-Polish war isnt happening anymore.
and yet it was extremely successful, and absolutely blew the frick out of one of the largest militaries in the world. Say what you will about mutts, but sometimes they can be crazy competent
what went right ?
they just send missiles on Kiev instead of going boots on the ground and that's a pretty good strategy if you ask me
hi arma
But indiscriminately murdering civilians is just making it clear that surrender means genocide for Ukraine.
Correct. The only solution for the occupied territories is to go full insurgent on Russian asses.
>indiscriminately murdering civilians
they're top Hamas commanders
Dial 8 vatnik.
Tomorrow
Esl vatBlack person.
Probably shitskin too.
Whats the strategy again?
winning
i really hate this semitic double think russians do

Areas like Kyiv, m'kay?
>they just send missiles on Kiev instead of going boots on the ground
Those boots weren't meant for feinting, I guess.
They just left the other areas to focus the east. Probably because the incompetent morons in charge of logistics screwed things in the north beyond repair.
>the incompetent morons in charge of logistics screwed things in the north beyond repair
How do you screw *logistics* beyond the point of no repair?
Things getting so dire that everything you bring in is immediately spent. You literally can't refit and resupply fast enough and trying to fix it is a net waste of time. This also makes targeted attacks against logistics and supply chains devastating beyond the norm.
Unfortunately for Russia, concentrating all their main forces in one spot means they're that much easier to kill.
Blobbing is just a magnet for artillery.
Not to mention concentrating all their forces in one spot leaves the Russians open in other areas.
>left
They got routed. It wasn't on their terms.
>Told to retreat by higher ups
>Ukrainians follow them
>LMAO THEY GOT ROUTED NSLAVA UKRIN
Uh huh.
it's time to come up with new cope
Indeed, so what are you going to do now? Eventually you'll run out of coping mechanisms and the projection gets pretty old.
And WHY were they told to retreat?
because putin never want kiev, israelite mutt, he just want to kill HATO nazis. He tolded this
Because Ukrainians aren't stupid Vatniks who get hung up on just ONE medium-sized town of no strategic importance.
They weren't routed, they could have held those areas, but that would mean they couldn't advance anywhere anymore.

yeah
It's probably because they're either dead or being barracks bunnies to both the russians and ukrainian troops lol.
she is very hot. Got more pics of her?
Nothing.
Russia merely exchanged territorial control for mass enemy casualties.
In the long run, hundred thousand dead hohols will break "Ukraine" worse than losing their land.

Honestly looks gay af.
and yet it was extremely successful, and absolutely blew the frick out of one of the largest militaries in the world. Say what you will about mutts, but sometimes they can be crazy competent
Not as macho, but crippling an entire country w/o stepping foot in it IS impressive.

everything is going according to plan,
you are spreading fake news about special operation, you will go to jail for your crimes

My mother-in-law unironically believes Kiev was a feint. And argument would convinces otherwise, get dismissed because the b***h is older than me.
Frick I fricked it up. Frick it you still could comprehend it if you want.
The Russian did never massed enough troops or material to past the outskirts and just sat around until they realized that Ukranians wouldn't surrender

i think at some point nato will just go in, no nukes, full on convetional warfare limited to the territory of ukraine
They have no reason to do that. Most NATO countries are depended on russia and the trade between them and russia is in the billions every month
That's moronic to say the least
Why risk your own troops when you can just find and equip the Ukrainians? Also a swift victory leaves Russia intact
