When our son grows up, tell him that Dad really wanted to come home and be the best dad. I've had a drink and I'm writing emotionally, I understand that I will be forgotten and you will continue to live your life, find yourself a new husband, and I'll just disappear in the war, like all the boys. It's a shame that I didn't even have time to live normally. Tell your son that Dad was a good in sports. It's a shame that everyone forgot about me. It's very difficult to accept, but everyone will die and this cycle cannot be changed, but it's still a pity to die during the summer. I wish we could go to the sea now 🙂 >To my wife, Tarasenko V.V. born on September 25, 1996, Narodnaya street, 31, Luhansk.
People get the government they deserve. Russians care more about their pride and safety than the truth, and this is where that cowardice has led them. They have sown the wind for centuries, now they reap a whirlwind.
>Russians care more about their pride and safety than the truth >pride and safety
They've got neither. Their nation has both been reduced to the most abject disgrace and been exposed as a hollow, corrupt, and degenerate shell of the ex-Soviet Union.
>none of them wanted to fight
lol what a reddit-tier pacifistic view of the world. maybe mr.letter didn't want to fight and was grabbed off the street, but a fricking good bit of these c**ts wanted to fight. they wanted to fight real bad and now an entire generation of their men has been wiped out. all of them supported yanukovych's kleptocratic kremlin wienersucking and now they're all dead because they coudln't unshackle themselves from russia's shit-tier propaganda.
Why the frick do they continue to go along with this? Frick refusing to follow orders, they should be shooting their COs along with any Russian who shows up to try to give them orders
Honestly maybe I think they’re afraid to act out of line. Damned if you do damned if you don’t. Mate should’ve just left Russia with his family in 2014
Probably don't even need to do that. Just remove the battery and put it back in when you're in the relative safety of a Ukrainian POW camp and call your family to tell them you're alright.
>Pfft, real Russians die for the cause.
Nah. Mongols and Siberians die for the cause. Real Russians get drunk and have sex with AIDS-ridden prostitutes in Moscow and St. Petersburg.
No real Russian would he caught dead in the army, yet alone the front.
That's how Russia can only win. Either it conquers Ukraine or it culls the asiatic people on the other side of the Ural. Either way it's a win.
Pfft, real Russians die for the cause. What's the cause? I don't know, but they die for it regardless

>Asiatic bugman mentality on full display
Nah, I can't imagine the Chinese coming up with something this ass backwards. It's more like russias say exactly the opposite of what's true, or accuse the other side of what they themselves are doing.
Every. Single. Time.
The logic's unerring... it's always 180degrees from reality. And it's consistent. My take is whatever russia says, the opposite is true, so if they say the war is going great they are losing, and if they are silent its probably going well.
Chinese propanda is out there, but it doesn't look like russian propaganda. The little I've read seems more focused on perception and reputation, slights, than what russia writes.
NK is just loony toons.
When this war is over I want a nice webm, just start with I just want a massive Star Wars sized crawl of nothing but Russian copes moving at a snails pace starting from the beginning of the war to the end, have Monkey Putin, Armchaircopelord, ASB, and whatever just semi transparent in the background.
Maybe with a map of the Russian advances on the side play it up real hard, blare hell march, whatever Russian power muisc you can think of and then, and then right when the first bad news comes in you get the Record scratch and the Freeze as "Baba O'Riley" starts to fade in....
And then just continue right on down. And if this war ends with Putin dead, do the "Yep that's me"
Nah, screw that. I want a full on dox list on every pro-RU c**t there is. Be it a random Twitter Black person or a politician, I want their names on a list. This war has revealed so many alegiances it's not even funny anymore. And all those fifth column colaborators deserve what's coming to them.
>We were sent here as cannon fodder. Without armor, without ammunition, without proper weapons.
Truly Putin is saving the people of Donetsk and Luhansk.
Dumbfrick could've just surrendered and little Sasha gets to grow up playing ball with his dad. Ukrainians might've actually shown a modicum of mercy to LPR and DNR conscripts while Russian regulars get a swift bullet to the head.
It's the other way around. Russians are merely foreign aggressors, people from "The Republics" and Crimea are worse, for they are considered traitors. Betraying your own country militarily is one of few crimes for which most of the world agrees on death sentence. Even if they had nothing to do with it they are part of an army of traitors and did nothing to oppose the Russians.
why do you think they send out men with families?
Hold hostages at home, make sure to only send the men who would rather die than see their families get hurt regardless of what side they die for
Every time I am catching myself of thinking the feeling pity for Crimea and Dumbabwe I remember, that Dante has put traitors in the last circle of hell.
Just surrender. You aren't fighting for anything and you clearly don't want to fight and die. Give up. Jesus Christ.
My grandfather was drafted in WW2 and marched through the Netherlands to meet the American advance. One night he was on guard duty, realized he absolutely didn't want to die for mustache man and jumped in a small channel. He ran all night, took off his uniform to not be recognized as a deserter (bib brain) and when the sun came up he hid in a farmhouse and fell asleep. Next morning my grandma found a wet, naked German in her stables. He hid out for the rest of the war, married my grandma and they moved to Salzburg when everything was over.
You don't have to die for a maniac.
Yep. My great grandfather fought for the Germans on the western front in WWI and moved his family to America as soon as shit started getting real in the 30’s.
>ran all night, took off his uniform to not be recognized as a deserter (bib brain) and when the sun came up he hid in a farmhouse and fell asleep. Next morning my grandma found a wet, naked German in her stables
are all dutch women this easy?
I think all the man back then must have been all giga chads. My great-grandfather was stuck in gulag, dieing from malnutrition and all the diseases mankind ever recorded and still had enough game to impregnate my great-grandmother 4 times. I'm older than he got and I'm still getting absolutely mogged by him.
But also as a father, take a longer term look, what kind of people we have on earth is a product of selection, do you want you children to bear having to deal with traitors that participated in the shelling and invasion of Thier own country. There are reports of 100k dead civilians in Mariupol. What this guy thought was the right choice to commit to resulted in that.
Unironically, I have a lot of sympathy for the DLNR people mobilised after the 24th of February. Say what you want, but those poor fricks were essentially pressganged, fed propaganda, handed a mosin and sent to the slaughter.
The og DLNR """separatists""" can die in a fricking ditch, I don't care. In fact, I hope their entire families get rooted out like the tumors they are.
But those poor sods? Nah, I feel with them to a certain degree.
play stupid games, win stupid prizes
he'd write about how he's sending back home 2 fridges, 3 washing machines and 1 toilet bowl and how many nazis he beheaded if russians were winning
frick em
VatBlack folk don't think of Lugandans as people. He's got a point when he says people will forget him. The Russians don't care if he lived or died. They won't even note that he died in this war. For the Ukrainians he was just another enemy combatant.
It bears remembering that this is not a sudden, horrible end that couldn't have been prevented. It's a confluence of conscious decisions this man made, a train that he could have left at any number of stops along the way to the final terminus.
He is still refusing to accept that maybe the side he took in this war was the wrong one

They are DonLugandabwe conscripts and get restrained and dragged off the streets. They are literal slaves.
Those recruiter thugs are honestly those that I want to see hanged the most, even more than his excellence king monke himself. Every local will be able to identify them after the war.
This goes side by side with the Russian whose GF/wife sent the cat and sandwich drawing.
But then I remember that these people brought this on themselves, and their neighbors suffered even more, and my heart becomes a stone again.
Damn. Here i am feeling pity over a russian soldier. Never thought i'd see that happen. Never thought that russian soldiers thought about anything else but raping and murdering, and looting on the side.
They were crossing the river
While crossing, the dude recording mentions that this section of the river was hit by ukes recently. Bada bing bada boom, they get fricked by arty right as they cross.
Cut to hellish footage of wounded soldiers everywhere on the pontoon and that guy soifacing, probably under shock.
The overpressure would have ruptured his eardrums, which can also inhibit your ability to balance yourself (hence why he's slumped against the truck, he's literally having trouble standing).
>at some point
a long time ago, though the number "in izium" also included the number around izium all the way up to kupyansk - and we now know that area had been drained of troops at some point in the past. the bilohorivka pontooning took out a bunch, then the popasna and severodonetsk pushes, then a bunch were sent to kherson. nobody here knows how many troops are left there in izium itself, but probably not many - maybe only a few BTG.
Izyum still the anvil for Kramatorsk and Slovyansk with the hammer coming from the Bakhmut direction. Unless Russia has completely abandoned the idea of taking those in the near future, there still should be a decent concentration of forces in the Izyum area.
if there were then they should have made an appearance by now. "attack north along the supply road" is an order that even an illiterate buryat can obey. unless they've been ordered to retreat towards lyman, which - if the russian general hasn't been overridden by putin - is almost certainly what they're doing, because it's painfully obvious that they need to shorten their lines in that front by a lot.
Meh. Don't feel as bad then. He was probably starving, sleeping in a train station in Belarus before and had every opportunity to see the writing on the walls and desert.
>that's a 50km advance right there dumbass
How long has this taken? Forgive me I don't follow it that closely because it looks like the same map to me.
The Russians are clearly losing overall but I don't see a military upshot here that looks like a vulnerable salient and The Blob will just return.
It's estimated Ukraine has recaptured around 1000 square km of territory in the past 3 days, and that figure was from yesterday.
Russia was bragging about gaining 450 square km in 3 months in the Donbas.
When you look at maps, try looking where railroads and roads go - especially railroads. You can't take a train cross country and jump a line somewhere else. If you - like Russia - is heavily dependent on rail for supply, you're also very dependent on holding the cities where there are junctions.

Fair enough and I know some of you shills are losing people out there or maybe some are out there now themselves. I hope you can keep the pressure up.
I have the feeling the HATO/US backing also believes there is momentum to be had before winter. Ukraine will be better-supplied for the upcoming winter no doubt, as an Americ**t i expect that those needs will e taken care of, that trained Ukrainians on new systems are coming on line, that supply, medical, administrative systems are functioning and hardened.
The grinding warfare on the front has been unsatisfying and I want to see this momentum shifting to Ukraine but no over-emphasize d as the vatnik shillbots are now doing.

No, panic we decided to give it up in the name of goodwill and all those brave conscripts...fools...umm, suckers...volunteers are going to stay and ensure a safe transition back to Ukraine.

...so we can assume that covid is also causing the Russian military significant problems? Or the author was riffing off that 40 min 'my first mission in Ukraine' video that popped onto youtube a few days ago.

Would make sense, sputnik's efficacy is significantly more questionable than moderna/pfizer.
Keeping it on topic, roughly half of ukraine received pfizer/moderna, the other half a mix of AZ, sputnik and sinovac. Assuming the non-mRNA vaccines are approximately 50% less effective at stopping serious cases, it's a negligible benefit for Ukraine.

He's describing Civ Divs footage, which was from February and north of Kyiv. Literally down to the "hiding under bridges" and guy holding an RPG the wrong way. Holy frick the dishonesty of these Black folk.
Every time I see an ASB post I learn of a new failing in vatniks.
This time, he seems to suggest Russia's communications doctrine is stuck in the Interwar era.
because when you need to be camouflaged you take the tape off, and when you need to be identified you put the tape on. Most of the time being identified as friendly is more helpful.
I presume that that's another symptom of "muh special military operation". Even in the West a commander who fled his post during a formally declared war would get a firing squad.
2nd Guards Mechanized. Aka the Taman Guard. As in, the division that's normally guarding the Kremlin. Yeah, that's right. The fricking HONOR GUARD's CO decided to run and leave his division hanging. Jesus fricking Christ.

isn't the whole point of an honor guard to stand and fight until total destruction on the off chance the commander needed just a few more seconds to get to safety?

yeah that's what I meant, sorry I've been awake for a long time. They're supposed to be unreasonably difficult to get to frick off, right?
I find it funny that after the early days of the war we haven't seen any Shikas anywhere, you'd think the Ukies and Russians would at least be using it as a heavy infantry support gun.
Was 23mm Ammo that rare and they ran out early on?
Would explain why Russia just abandoned 4 of them for no reason.
Considering that they just liberated and have complete control over two highways that lead directly back to Kharkiv and a rail line that does the same, they're gonna be sitting pretty supply wise all the way up to the river.
Rivet Joint and Global Hawk are sucking up all the signals.
they were acting weak for months and trading ground for blood just to get the bear weakened.
So many of the units attacking and their men look like they were not in action before this, except the SOF. All new numbers. Fresh, many trained in UK or Poland, and armed with new equipment.
It could happen. On the other hand, they do have some bioluminescent gentlemen on speed dial who seem to know the location of every single Russian asset.
For real though, I can't help but be concerned that a counterattack or encirclement is coming. The Russians have had some time to get their shit together and actually know that they're in a shooting war unlike during the failed advance on Kiev. Even after everything we've seen I just can't believe the Russians are as incompetent as they appear to be.
My guess is once they have secured the entirety of the western bank of the Oskil south of Kupyansk they will focus on mopping up the areas within the encirclement. There's probably a couple brigade's worth of equipment and vehicles that the Ukrainians themselves can put to use. They may try a two pronged advance on Voachansk to ease up pressure on Kharkiv.
May surprise you if another wave of fresh trained troops shoot past them and through the weak points and carve up rest of karkiv and even some of donbass asap
I think some russians on telegram say this is not the entire attacking strength of ukraine yet
Idk, it really depends on the state of Russian reserves. If they've truly got nobody to send, than the Ukies definitely should advance to the maximal extent. Their command seems to have a good grasp on their capabilities and the Russian capabilities so we shall see.
Judging from all OSINT accounts and the people I talk to (given, most of them were from Lyman and are now around Bakhmut), this unironically is not the full offensive force.
There is at least 50% held in reserve and that's just the dedicated fighting force, not general reserves in the area.
Yuri spam?
That's the new cum/chug/ger tactic?
Holy frick this war has mindbroken you russiaboo homosexuals more than any amount of officer wiener could.
So, Oskil is really weird. IF, and that's a massive IF Ukies took it, they took it most likely from the south, indicating another offensive operation.
If Oskil is taken, Izyum is unironically, literally and genuinely encircled.
What a fricking timeline that would be.
Seriously were are the Russians forces? Ukies face zero resistance and easily recapture territory in matter of days that took Russkies months to capture.
It's like they gave up entirely on the Eastern Ukrainian front and just want to try to hold on to Crimea and Kherson to not lose land corridor and Black Sea fleet ability to mainrain blockade.
It kinda make sense because Ukies take Kherson all Russian assest in Crimea and it land acces will be in range of Ukrainian artillery. But it is still amazing how easily they give it back.
Why are you so fricking confused? You think all those areas in red are FULL of Russians? Troops and equipment are only on the frontlines, at some checkpoints here and there, and in transit. That's it. Everything else is literally empty. 90% of the villages in that area have not even seen a Russian this war.
So it makes sense that if Ukraine broke through their defenses, everything all the way to the next major logistic hubs is clear of Russians
The nazi comparison never made any sense, given that they were actually competent, and made the Soviets take a staggeringly disproportionate amount of losses, even when they had nothing to fight with and were vastly outnumbered and outgunned. The Germans outfought the Soviets at every turn, but lost because it was a war of attrition. In this war, the Ukrainians are more like the Germans, where they win because they're better trained and better organized, and do more with less.
Russia is still the same heap of shit it was back in their Soviet WW2 days, except now they don't have western aid, a functional industry and tens of millions of men to throw at the problem.
The only apt comparison between Ukraine and the Soviet Union is the western aid.

many contractors must have resigned and gone home besides the large casualties
you can man a line with untrained goons and even use them as cannon fodder attacking in one direction but you cannot maneuver with them esp when the goons consist of many old men, and of course goons cannot operate equipment
the first attack was on Verbize which was only manned by russian SOBR guard and some LHR conscripts and both did not know how to use mortars or ATGMs. The armored fist of a few companies just shot them up on the move and punched a hole for all the mechanized and lorried ukranians to pour through

if you count the months from start of war, more than 6 months, that means that a lot of contracted Russian men from the start of the war (they went on a hiring blitz) were primed to go home and escape this fricking hell. Some left, even those who havent left have home on their mind and would rather not put up a good fight
it was brilliant of Ukraine to wait 6 months at least and which they used to get ready
It's a rout from a hollow front. There's no prepared and manned rear position for them to flee to, most of those troops were moved to reinforce positions to the east and south.
So, Oskil is really weird. IF, and that's a massive IF Ukies took it, they took it most likely from the south, indicating another offensive operation.

We told you we of complete cauldron in Donbas you stupid pigs laugh
Are you sure they don't mean "have reached the Oskil (river)"? Because that soumds like something that could get lost in translation.
Still, big if true.
Not sure about Russia, but red has far less negative connotation in multiple countries in East Asia. Taiwan and Korea both use it for fortune or happiness.
The tower of Moscow crumbles when it's discovered the nukes of power have been destroyed in the fire of corruption.
Then the earth shall swallow the orc, and the eastern lands will return to peace and new life will begin to grow once again
The bridge is fricked, but the river south of the dam is basically a muddy stream that a competent force could bridge fairly easily. But it will be slow and miserable going and that's without Ukrainians raining arty on everyone's heads.
So are serious Russian units getting routed or are major areas of the Russian front made up of just some dudes with guns standing around waiting to get railed?

Imagine being the 'administrator' of Kharkiv when the army that put you there doesn't control Kharkiv itself or most of the county for that matter.
What is better Russian army going into trenches to kill hohols or hohols themselves coming out of trenches so Russian army can kill them?
Hohols threw everything they had to make a push and now if Russia manage to overpower them they will get encircled.
Once frontline stabilise hohols will offer surender like they always do.
Hohols achieved numerical superiority in an area and won a battle doesn't mean they are winning the war.

They're using 6B47 helmets that can literally be smashed with a fist.
Either some supply officer has been selling off actual 6B47s to various milsurp gays in the West or the manufacturer can be using cheap substitutes like plastic and billing the Russian government for Kevlar ones.
Or some other mercenary group. Poor frickers. PMC dont get status of POW if they are captured. They are considered unlawful bandits, armed civilians pretending to be soldiers and can be put under judgmentof court martial. They will be put in prisons or executed.
If you think you are going to move forces in number either south of or over the Oskil, you are out of your fricking mind. Damn near every kilometer of road on the opposite bank south from Kupyansk can be interdicted by Ukie arty.
A Russian Telegram channel claims that the commander of the 2nd Motorized Rifle Division evacuated from Izyum two days ago even though some of his forces are still in the area.
Russian here. I served as conscript for a year, three years ago, and heard a lot of terrible shit about Taman. They're not exactly a good unit, to put it lightly. But then again, almost none of them are.
UKR rotated out their regular combat forces and held the line with TDF troops while the regulars trained with NATO armies with their new gear. This is them brought back into the fight.
Ukies have been running a delaying operation since the invasion to mobilize their reserves. This process has allowed them to rotate out and rest their best soldiers (who were the ones defending in Donbass on Feb 24) and then deploy them for stunts like this.
True, but you seem to be ignoring the western training they have received over the past 6 months. Their strategy of delaying the Russians have allowed countless Ukrainians to receive western training, and not just in the sense that they've learned to use western heavy weapons. They're actually raised a competent army.
>real combat experience > training, no matter how good that training is
you never get past a arab tier army performance wise with only combat experience
That's absolutely not true in this war.
Between peers or near peers, combat experience is obviously a big factor, but in this conflict, western training is a massive force multiplier.
I mean, if you took "experienced" Taliban fighters or Russian soldiers and pitted them against fresh western soldiers, the latter would win.

lol what a reddit-tier pacifistic view of the world. maybe mr.letter didn't want to fight and was grabbed off the street, but a fricking good bit of these c**ts wanted to fight. they wanted to fight real bad and now an entire generation of their men has been wiped out. all of them supported yanukovych's kleptocratic kremlin wienersucking and now they're all dead because they coudln't unshackle themselves from russia's shit-tier propaganda.
Bro, that's sad as frick.
Jesus Christ.
Why the frick do they continue to go along with this? Frick refusing to follow orders, they should be shooting their COs along with any Russian who shows up to try to give them orders
Honestly maybe I think they’re afraid to act out of line. Damned if you do damned if you don’t. Mate should’ve just left Russia with his family in 2014
They hold their families captive. They would all be killed if a single conscript tried to kill his superiors to make an example and discourage this.
You go take a shit and disappear. Smash your phone and end up working logistics in west ukraine to magically reappear at home when the war ends.
>Smash your phone
Probably don't even need to do that. Just remove the battery and put it back in when you're in the relative safety of a Ukrainian POW camp and call your family to tell them you're alright.
I wish. I haven't used a phone with a removable battery since 2017.
>Frick refusing to follow orders, they should be shooting their COs along with any Russian who shows up to try to give them orders
Nah, they should be marching on Moscow together to string up Putin up from a lamppost.
Look how brainwashed tankies, serbs or pajeets are over here.

I am so sick of seeing this moron
>Pfft, real Russians die for the cause.
Nah. Mongols and Siberians die for the cause. Real Russians get drunk and have sex with AIDS-ridden prostitutes in Moscow and St. Petersburg.
No real Russian would he caught dead in the army, yet alone the front.
That's how Russia can only win. Either it conquers Ukraine or it culls the asiatic people on the other side of the Ural. Either way it's a win.

And if the Asiatics decide that they've had enough of being sent to the slaughter for Muscovites and decide to take revenge?
>And if the Asiatics decide that they've had enough of being sent to the slaughter for Muscovites and decide to take revenge?
Then everyone wins.

You will see Russians cross the eastern border of Ukraine again, begging for shelter and protection this time.
>Asiatic bugman mentality on full display
Nah, I can't imagine the Chinese coming up with something this ass backwards. It's more like russias say exactly the opposite of what's true, or accuse the other side of what they themselves are doing.
Every. Single. Time.
The logic's unerring... it's always 180degrees from reality. And it's consistent. My take is whatever russia says, the opposite is true, so if they say the war is going great they are losing, and if they are silent its probably going well.
Chinese propanda is out there, but it doesn't look like russian propaganda. The little I've read seems more focused on perception and reputation, slights, than what russia writes.
NK is just loony toons.
I wonder how many cope compilation we will get in the near future!
When this war is over I want a nice webm, just start with I just want a massive Star Wars sized crawl of nothing but Russian copes moving at a snails pace starting from the beginning of the war to the end, have Monkey Putin, Armchaircopelord, ASB, and whatever just semi transparent in the background.
Maybe with a map of the Russian advances on the side play it up real hard, blare hell march, whatever Russian power muisc you can think of and then, and then right when the first bad news comes in you get the Record scratch and the Freeze as "Baba O'Riley" starts to fade in....
And then just continue right on down. And if this war ends with Putin dead, do the "Yep that's me"
Nah, screw that. I want a full on dox list on every pro-RU c**t there is. Be it a random Twitter Black person or a politician, I want their names on a list. This war has revealed so many alegiances it's not even funny anymore. And all those fifth column colaborators deserve what's coming to them.
It's Sam Hyde TEDx Moscow
>We were sent here as cannon fodder. Without armor, without ammunition, without proper weapons.
Truly Putin is saving the people of Donetsk and Luhansk.
Dumbfrick could've just surrendered and little Sasha gets to grow up playing ball with his dad. Ukrainians might've actually shown a modicum of mercy to LPR and DNR conscripts while Russian regulars get a swift bullet to the head.
>Russian regulars get a swift bullet to the head.
proofs? in real life they take plenty of POWs
It's the other way around. Russians are merely foreign aggressors, people from "The Republics" and Crimea are worse, for they are considered traitors. Betraying your own country militarily is one of few crimes for which most of the world agrees on death sentence. Even if they had nothing to do with it they are part of an army of traitors and did nothing to oppose the Russians.
why do you think they send out men with families?
Hold hostages at home, make sure to only send the men who would rather die than see their families get hurt regardless of what side they die for
It's an age old soviet tactic
Every time I am catching myself of thinking the feeling pity for Crimea and Dumbabwe I remember, that Dante has put traitors in the last circle of hell.
If I had a single AT4 in my Humvee, and in front of me stood a Russian and a traitor, I'd blow up the traitor.
Based, but also sensible because the Russian probably couldn't hit you anyway
Here's ur second at4 bro
If you had ammo for the .50 cal you could get 'em both
What? Another AT-4? Got you, пpиятeль!
Just surrender. You aren't fighting for anything and you clearly don't want to fight and die. Give up. Jesus Christ.
My grandfather was drafted in WW2 and marched through the Netherlands to meet the American advance. One night he was on guard duty, realized he absolutely didn't want to die for mustache man and jumped in a small channel. He ran all night, took off his uniform to not be recognized as a deserter (bib brain) and when the sun came up he hid in a farmhouse and fell asleep. Next morning my grandma found a wet, naked German in her stables. He hid out for the rest of the war, married my grandma and they moved to Salzburg when everything was over.
You don't have to die for a maniac.
Yep. My great grandfather fought for the Germans on the western front in WWI and moved his family to America as soon as shit started getting real in the 30’s.
>ran all night, took off his uniform to not be recognized as a deserter (bib brain) and when the sun came up he hid in a farmhouse and fell asleep. Next morning my grandma found a wet, naked German in her stables

Sleep naked in a stable and find out.
All women are this easy if you aren't absolutely disgusting
I think all the man back then must have been all giga chads. My great-grandfather was stuck in gulag, dieing from malnutrition and all the diseases mankind ever recorded and still had enough game to impregnate my great-grandmother 4 times. I'm older than he got and I'm still getting absolutely mogged by him.
The only two times I've ever successfully paratrooped were Dutch girls in Holland
I have done it in Berlin and Lyon.

Well frick, there goes the season.
Being serious, as a father I feel bad for the dude, especially if he was drafted.
But also as a father, take a longer term look, what kind of people we have on earth is a product of selection, do you want you children to bear having to deal with traitors that participated in the shelling and invasion of Thier own country. There are reports of 100k dead civilians in Mariupol. What this guy thought was the right choice to commit to resulted in that.
Unironically, I have a lot of sympathy for the DLNR people mobilised after the 24th of February. Say what you want, but those poor fricks were essentially pressganged, fed propaganda, handed a mosin and sent to the slaughter.
The og DLNR """separatists""" can die in a fricking ditch, I don't care. In fact, I hope their entire families get rooted out like the tumors they are.
But those poor sods? Nah, I feel with them to a certain degree.

he'd write about how he's sending back home 2 fridges, 3 washing machines and 1 toilet bowl and how many nazis he beheaded if russians were winning

He's a Lugandan. Guy got snatched off the street, handed a Mosin and sent forward as cannonfodder. They don't get to go looting.
He wasn't given a choice, dipshit, he got pressganged. Still, should've tried surrendering or mutineering.
VatBlack folk think this is a perfectly worthy sacrifice.
Frick.
VatBlack folk don't think of Lugandans as people. He's got a point when he says people will forget him. The Russians don't care if he lived or died. They won't even note that he died in this war. For the Ukrainians he was just another enemy combatant.
>Vatniks don’t think of anyone as people

>Vatnigs aren't people

Wtf man

Youthink those poor bastards had a choice? They are literally dragged from the streets by ruskies and forcibly conscripted
It bears remembering that this is not a sudden, horrible end that couldn't have been prevented. It's a confluence of conscious decisions this man made, a train that he could have left at any number of stops along the way to the final terminus.
He chose this instead of his family.
They are DonLugandabwe conscripts and get restrained and dragged off the streets. They are literal slaves.
Those recruiter thugs are honestly those that I want to see hanged the most, even more than his excellence king monke himself. Every local will be able to identify them after the war.
Bad luck. Shouldn't have been born there. I'm not saying it's their fault, but if you live in an area like this it's just a reality of life.

While crossing, the dude recording mentions that this section of the river was hit by ukes recently. Bada bing bada boom, they get fricked by arty right as they cross.
Cut to hellish footage of wounded soldiers everywhere on the pontoon and that guy soifacing, probably under shock.
From the way he's clutching the side of his head I'd wager he has a burst eardrum too.
he lost his hearing for some reason
was going uhhhh to see if can hear himself
>he lost his hearing for some reason
>some reason
The overpressure would have ruptured his eardrums, which can also inhibit your ability to balance yourself (hence why he's slumped against the truck, he's literally having trouble standing).
Why though? We've seen plenty of people taking artillery blasts really close without being left with ruptured ear drums...

You mean to tell me, Izyum only has one bridge to resupply
And it's in artillery range?
How many Russians are in Izyum?
Didn't it have a pretty big concentration of troops at some point?
>Izyum only has one bridge to resupply
Seems like it.
And it's not exactly sturdy looking.
>at some point
a long time ago, though the number "in izium" also included the number around izium all the way up to kupyansk - and we now know that area had been drained of troops at some point in the past. the bilohorivka pontooning took out a bunch, then the popasna and severodonetsk pushes, then a bunch were sent to kherson. nobody here knows how many troops are left there in izium itself, but probably not many - maybe only a few BTG.
Back when the scope of encirclement shrunk and shrunk until it landed on Severodonetsk (which didn't even get encircled).
Izyum still the anvil for Kramatorsk and Slovyansk with the hammer coming from the Bakhmut direction. Unless Russia has completely abandoned the idea of taking those in the near future, there still should be a decent concentration of forces in the Izyum area.
if there were then they should have made an appearance by now. "attack north along the supply road" is an order that even an illiterate buryat can obey. unless they've been ordered to retreat towards lyman, which - if the russian general hasn't been overridden by putin - is almost certainly what they're doing, because it's painfully obvious that they need to shorten their lines in that front by a lot.

How long has this taken? Forgive me I don't follow it that closely because it looks like the same map to me.
The Russians are clearly losing overall but I don't see a military upshot here that looks like a vulnerable salient and The Blob will just return.
It's estimated Ukraine has recaptured around 1000 square km of territory in the past 3 days, and that figure was from yesterday.
Russia was bragging about gaining 450 square km in 3 months in the Donbas.
brother, if ukraine holds this territory they are cutting off the whole izium front which would be a major strategic defeat for russia
Fair enough and I know some of you shills are losing people out there or maybe some are out there now themselves. I hope you can keep the pressure up.
I have the feeling the HATO/US backing also believes there is momentum to be had before winter. Ukraine will be better-supplied for the upcoming winter no doubt, as an Americ**t i expect that those needs will e taken care of, that trained Ukrainians on new systems are coming on line, that supply, medical, administrative systems are functioning and hardened.
The grinding warfare on the front has been unsatisfying and I want to see this momentum shifting to Ukraine but no over-emphasize d as the vatnik shillbots are now doing.
t. Gnrl Kutuzov
Man, do these glavset hookers ever shut the frick up about the winter?
When you look at maps, try looking where railroads and roads go - especially railroads. You can't take a train cross country and jump a line somewhere else. If you - like Russia - is heavily dependent on rail for supply, you're also very dependent on holding the cities where there are junctions.
>The Blob will just return.
The Ukrainians just advanced 50km in 2 days. The russians advanced 200 meters per month in the last 3 months.

Well last night ASB said COVID's counterattack was going to stop the offensive until he got mocked so hard everywhere he deleted it.
...so we can assume that covid is also causing the Russian military significant problems? Or the author was riffing off that 40 min 'my first mission in Ukraine' video that popped onto youtube a few days ago.
Covid killed alot of soldiers in Russia. Probably thats why they included so many recruits, to fill the lost by covid soldiers!
I knew that hussy was good for something
>Covid killed alot of soldiers in Russia
Would make sense, sputnik's efficacy is significantly more questionable than moderna/pfizer.
Keeping it on topic, roughly half of ukraine received pfizer/moderna, the other half a mix of AZ, sputnik and sinovac. Assuming the non-mRNA vaccines are approximately 50% less effective at stopping serious cases, it's a negligible benefit for Ukraine.

What's the point of camouflage uniforms if you wear put bright yellow or blue tapes all over it?
Most asiatic Russians are blue-yellow colorblind and perceive it as something quite similar to desert tan
because when you need to be camouflaged you take the tape off, and when you need to be identified you put the tape on. Most of the time being identified as friendly is more helpful.

It seems the russians are using helis to reinforce kupiansk, how effective would this be realisticaly?
Realistically, we will be seeing at least one catch a Stinger.
They might as well use catapult to launch the poor bastards in.
We haven't seen any dedicated Anti-Air vehicles (not like that means they aren't there) but they're probably drowning in MANPADS.
We've also seen Ukes with manpads down a frogfoot on the first day.
Oh, that's right, I had actually forgotten about that.
It's been a mad few days.
There's a video of a Ukrainian Buk moving up from a day ago.
Do you know why the Russians in Izyum are busy looting and fleeing?
The commander of the Russian 2nd tank division fled 2 days ago with his staff, abandoning his men and heavy equipment
I presume that that's another symptom of "muh special military operation". Even in the West a commander who fled his post during a formally declared war would get a firing squad.
>Russian 2nd tank division
2nd Guards Mechanized. Aka the Taman Guard. As in, the division that's normally guarding the Kremlin. Yeah, that's right. The fricking HONOR GUARD's CO decided to run and leave his division hanging. Jesus fricking Christ.
He fricked off to guard Kremlin against Ukrainian offensive.
>HONOR GUARD's CO decided to run
isn't the whole point of an honor guard to stand and fight until total destruction on the off chance the commander needed just a few more seconds to get to safety?
Honor guard is not supposed be the guard for their own commander, but for the place or personnel they are guarding.
Honor Guard commander is supposed the be the toughest fricker of the bunch who is the first in the fire and the last one standing.
>but for the place or personnel they are guarding
yeah that's what I meant, sorry I've been awake for a long time. They're supposed to be unreasonably difficult to get to frick off, right?
I find it funny that after the early days of the war we haven't seen any Shikas anywhere, you'd think the Ukies and Russians would at least be using it as a heavy infantry support gun.
Was 23mm Ammo that rare and they ran out early on?
Would explain why Russia just abandoned 4 of them for no reason.
the russians only have platoon sized garrisons in most towns if any
they dont even know how to operate RPG-7s, the result of getting one week of training before arriving
there is a video of a humvee crew driving right up to the front gate and unloading 50 cal in

Serious question, what are the odds of them advancing too quickly, supplies not keeping up, and getting overrun?
I think they have a good understanding of their own supply lines.
It's difficult to frick it up on your home turf. Not entirely unlikely though.
Considering that they just liberated and have complete control over two highways that lead directly back to Kharkiv and a rail line that does the same, they're gonna be sitting pretty supply wise all the way up to the river.
NATO satellites are constantly over head.
Rivet Joint and Global Hawk are sucking up all the signals.
they were acting weak for months and trading ground for blood just to get the bear weakened.
So many of the units attacking and their men look like they were not in action before this, except the SOF. All new numbers. Fresh, many trained in UK or Poland, and armed with new equipment.
It could happen. On the other hand, they do have some bioluminescent gentlemen on speed dial who seem to know the location of every single Russian asset.
For real though, I can't help but be concerned that a counterattack or encirclement is coming. The Russians have had some time to get their shit together and actually know that they're in a shooting war unlike during the failed advance on Kiev. Even after everything we've seen I just can't believe the Russians are as incompetent as they appear to be.
all the units that can attack and maneuver are already dead or resigned in the first 2 months
My guess is once they have secured the entirety of the western bank of the Oskil south of Kupyansk they will focus on mopping up the areas within the encirclement. There's probably a couple brigade's worth of equipment and vehicles that the Ukrainians themselves can put to use. They may try a two pronged advance on Voachansk to ease up pressure on Kharkiv.
May surprise you if another wave of fresh trained troops shoot past them and through the weak points and carve up rest of karkiv and even some of donbass asap
I think some russians on telegram say this is not the entire attacking strength of ukraine yet
winter is coming
Idk, it really depends on the state of Russian reserves. If they've truly got nobody to send, than the Ukies definitely should advance to the maximal extent. Their command seems to have a good grasp on their capabilities and the Russian capabilities so we shall see.
the only way funnily enough is to take Belgorod because there is no way Putin survives this. If Putin dies, this spastic war is over.
Next war between Ukraine and Poland kek
Judging from all OSINT accounts and the people I talk to (given, most of them were from Lyman and are now around Bakhmut), this unironically is not the full offensive force.
There is at least 50% held in reserve and that's just the dedicated fighting force, not general reserves in the area.

Holy frick this war has mindbroken you russiaboo homosexuals more than any amount of officer wiener could.
Yuri is better than some wall of text about some copium position at least
Only one coping is you, /misc/Black person
Boys love is more kino by far.
Shut up, homosexual.
this is the latest map from a number of hours ago. it is beautiful
latest news is that the Ukranians are already in Oskil.
That's game, set, and match. Russian occupation in Kharkiv Oblast and Izyum is doomed.
So, Oskil is really weird. IF, and that's a massive IF Ukies took it, they took it most likely from the south, indicating another offensive operation.
If Oskil is taken, Izyum is unironically, literally and genuinely encircled.
What a fricking timeline that would be.
Rumors saying that the Ukranians are already in Vesele in the south of Izyum. Still facing very light resistance.
The ukranians can now attack from north, west and south at the same time if true.
glowBlack folk show their worth
Pretty sure that map is flipped
Seriously were are the Russians forces? Ukies face zero resistance and easily recapture territory in matter of days that took Russkies months to capture.
It's like they gave up entirely on the Eastern Ukrainian front and just want to try to hold on to Crimea and Kherson to not lose land corridor and Black Sea fleet ability to mainrain blockade.
It kinda make sense because Ukies take Kherson all Russian assest in Crimea and it land acces will be in range of Ukrainian artillery. But it is still amazing how easily they give it back.
Why are you so fricking confused? You think all those areas in red are FULL of Russians? Troops and equipment are only on the frontlines, at some checkpoints here and there, and in transit. That's it. Everything else is literally empty. 90% of the villages in that area have not even seen a Russian this war.
So it makes sense that if Ukraine broke through their defenses, everything all the way to the next major logistic hubs is clear of Russians
This is Russia being on the receiving end of Operation Bagration.
Oh you mean the Russia that had mobilized and was recieving western lend lease?
No I mean Russia is getting fricked in the ass the way the Germans got fricked during Bagration.
The nazi comparison never made any sense, given that they were actually competent, and made the Soviets take a staggeringly disproportionate amount of losses, even when they had nothing to fight with and were vastly outnumbered and outgunned. The Germans outfought the Soviets at every turn, but lost because it was a war of attrition. In this war, the Ukrainians are more like the Germans, where they win because they're better trained and better organized, and do more with less.
Russia is still the same heap of shit it was back in their Soviet WW2 days, except now they don't have western aid, a functional industry and tens of millions of men to throw at the problem.
The only apt comparison between Ukraine and the Soviet Union is the western aid.
This really puts the "USSR couldn't have won without Lend Lease" argument to bed lol
In what sense?
The side with Lend Lease wins, not the side with Moscow
Well, the side with lend lease does win.
That was the point I was making
Well, alright then.
Have a good day.
Same to you, sir.
>It's like they gave up entirely on the Eastern Ukrainian front and just want to try to hold on to Crimea and Kherson
>"Hey Luganda and Dombabwe, you know how we used all of your fighting age men as cannon fodder in a war that we started? Well, you're on your own now. Hope it was worth it"
Jesus christ.
its because their troops are not trained
many contractors must have resigned and gone home besides the large casualties
you can man a line with untrained goons and even use them as cannon fodder attacking in one direction but you cannot maneuver with them esp when the goons consist of many old men, and of course goons cannot operate equipment
the first attack was on Verbize which was only manned by russian SOBR guard and some LHR conscripts and both did not know how to use mortars or ATGMs. The armored fist of a few companies just shot them up on the move and punched a hole for all the mechanized and lorried ukranians to pour through
The fact that fifteen tanks and some boys in BTR's completely fricking blew through the defense lines in the Donbas the russians have been at for months is fricking hilarious
if you count the months from start of war, more than 6 months, that means that a lot of contracted Russian men from the start of the war (they went on a hiring blitz) were primed to go home and escape this fricking hell. Some left, even those who havent left have home on their mind and would rather not put up a good fight
it was brilliant of Ukraine to wait 6 months at least and which they used to get ready
Fleeing. Collapse in morale, rout. Hence all the undamaged vehicles left behind.
They abandoned them after running out of fuel or they broke while theu were GTFO of there isnt it?
It's a rout from a hollow front. There's no prepared and manned rear position for them to flee to, most of those troops were moved to reinforce positions to the east and south.
>Izyum encircled
So you're saying the Russians are now the ones in the Cauldron?
We told you we of complete cauldron in Donbas you stupid pigs laugh
Uhhhh izyum sisters….where do we go now???
Hell
St.Petersburg?
That was basically yesterday afternoon. Who knows, today.
Are you sure they don't mean "have reached the Oskil (river)"? Because that soumds like something that could get lost in translation.
Still, big if true.
Warmonitor3 on Twitter is a ukranian who leaks some info now and then and he's getting info from both RU and UKR sides that Oskil town has fallen
https://twitter.com/WarMonitor3/status/1568229640140890116
try him he's quite fast
it seems that everyone is so excited everyone wants to be first to break news
No, apparently there was a push to Oskil from the south
haha Benis :DDD
I like how even in russian cope maps they paint ukraine as neutral and ukrainian action as blue, and themselves as evil red covering the terrain
red is for blessed communism, blue is for evil hato
Not sure about Russia, but red has far less negative connotation in multiple countries in East Asia. Taiwan and Korea both use it for fortune or happiness.
Where's the 3rd Army?
Where are the Syrians? Assad! ASSAD! WHERE ARE THEY?
It's been six months.
Luka will swoop in from Belarus and the monke trap will go off

The tower of Moscow crumbles when it's discovered the nukes of power have been destroyed in the fire of corruption.
Then the earth shall swallow the orc, and the eastern lands will return to peace and new life will begin to grow once again
What are the bridges like for troops that might need to flee?
The bridge is fricked, but the river south of the dam is basically a muddy stream that a competent force could bridge fairly easily. But it will be slow and miserable going and that's without Ukrainians raining arty on everyone's heads.
other thread said Ukrainians took the bridge already, intact
So are serious Russian units getting routed or are major areas of the Russian front made up of just some dudes with guns standing around waiting to get railed?
>Kharkiv Oblast occupation administration head Vitaly Ganchev announced the evacuation of all women and children from Kupyansk City and Kupyansk Raion as well as Izyum Raion, citing increased Ukrainian artillery and rocket strikes but most likely due to the ongoing ground operations
https://www.criticalthreats.org/analysis/russian-offensive-campaign-assessment-september-8
Imagine being the 'administrator' of Kharkiv when the army that put you there doesn't control Kharkiv itself or most of the county for that matter.
It's like the Confederate government of Kentucky.
>evacuation of all women and children from Kupyansk City
aka kidnapping into Russia
that's going to be Putin's last card in this war. It's going to be very ugly
What is better Russian army going into trenches to kill hohols or hohols themselves coming out of trenches so Russian army can kill them?
Hohols threw everything they had to make a push and now if Russia manage to overpower them they will get encircled.
Once frontline stabilise hohols will offer surender like they always do.
Hohols achieved numerical superiority in an area and won a battle doesn't mean they are winning the war.
This is Defcon 2 levels of cope
no... it's... it must be... copecon 1!
I repeat, we're at top copecon, strategic copium reserves are authorized for deployment, spambots are operating at capacity! Remember, THERE IS NO PANIC!
can't tell if serious or actual moronic vatnik. What encirclement? have you checked the most recent Rybar map? Even with their massive cope-lines, an encirclement is impossible against UKR troops
>Once frontline stabilise
Yeah so when's that gonna happen? When Ukraine reaches the russian border?

How many dead katsap is this?
I heard 5 thousand from Kherson and Kharkiv ongoing offensives
I read this were all OMON and SOBR from Russian Guard fleeing that first Bala city out of the only route at the last minute
dont hype fighting to the last man if you dont mean it
a fricking BREN
I get the ARs and stuff, but where the frick did they get a BREN?
the foreign legion is mostly armed with Bren 2's and has been for months.
where the frick do they get them though?
....the Czechs. they also have SCARS.
bro, why the frick do Ukrainians get BREN 2s while I was stuck with the fricking 58, and if you were lucky, you got the 805
were you killing russians?

Ratnik was the name of Russias most recent individual combat gear modernization effort (
Body Armor, LBE, Sustainment gear, etc)
>Ratnik was the name of Russias most recent individual combat gear modernization effort (
They're using 6B47 helmets that can literally be smashed with a fist.
Either some supply officer has been selling off actual 6B47s to various milsurp gays in the West or the manufacturer can be using cheap substitutes like plastic and billing the Russian government for Kevlar ones.
Aluminium is what they use, I think
If you look at the video, the helmet has burn marks near the back edge. It's possible it got hot enough that the material started to delaminate.
6B47 is an Aramid helmet, like modern western helmets.
Or some other mercenary group. Poor frickers. PMC dont get status of POW if they are captured. They are considered unlawful bandits, armed civilians pretending to be soldiers and can be put under judgmentof court martial. They will be put in prisons or executed.
>What's a ratnik tactical?
Looks like its some gay facebook company selling chink knock-off gear and patches
"Ratnik Tactical" is just small gear company. They dont even have site, selling their garbage straight from vk. Thats their signature patch I guess
If only you knew how bad things really are.
Are these donbabweans?

>Russia took back that one place no one but Rybar reported as fallen
It’s over NATO. No panic. Z.
Rybar doesn't even mention a source for this
If you think you are going to move forces in number either south of or over the Oskil, you are out of your fricking mind. Damn near every kilometer of road on the opposite bank south from Kupyansk can be interdicted by Ukie arty.

A Russian Telegram channel claims that the commander of the 2nd Motorized Rifle Division evacuated from Izyum two days ago even though some of his forces are still in the area.
Russian here. I served as conscript for a year, three years ago, and heard a lot of terrible shit about Taman. They're not exactly a good unit, to put it lightly. But then again, almost none of them are.
This is why I don't drink any more, bathrooms are a death trap when you're fricking smashed
Welcome to kotel
Damn why don't they release more sniper footage like this. It's hidden in gore telegram channels instead of being public.
How is the push to Kherson going? Is it as brutal as in Kharkiv or slower? Will I see hills of dead vatniks on both fronts?
i dont know ukie geography but did they take any 2014 territories back yet ?
No
where are all of these chad UKR soldiers coming from all of a sudden?
is this the first wave from the UK training?
UKR rotated out their regular combat forces and held the line with TDF troops while the regulars trained with NATO armies with their new gear. This is them brought back into the fight.
Ukies have been running a delaying operation since the invasion to mobilize their reserves. This process has allowed them to rotate out and rest their best soldiers (who were the ones defending in Donbass on Feb 24) and then deploy them for stunts like this.
True, but you seem to be ignoring the western training they have received over the past 6 months. Their strategy of delaying the Russians have allowed countless Ukrainians to receive western training, and not just in the sense that they've learned to use western heavy weapons. They're actually raised a competent army.
That's certainly part of it but at the end of the day real combat experience > training, no matter how good that training is.
>real combat experience > training, no matter how good that training is
you never get past a arab tier army performance wise with only combat experience
That's absolutely not true in this war.
Between peers or near peers, combat experience is obviously a big factor, but in this conflict, western training is a massive force multiplier.
I mean, if you took "experienced" Taliban fighters or Russian soldiers and pitted them against fresh western soldiers, the latter would win.
