Russian invasion of Ukraine | Fewer tweets, more discussion

Poor guy @2:08 died because of bad timing. Also insane luck by the Russian @2:22. The helmet saved his life there, so not all Russian helmets are trash.
Also nice to see, that Ukraine forces chose to retreat because they couldn't take that bunker without losses. You probably never will see something like this from Russia, because they don't care about their own.
Amazing footage as always by the K2 battalion. I guess in part 4, they will capture the bunker.
From the prior footage with the drone grenades managing to get right in the bunker they probably thought it would be an easier take. I suspect they return with a few rpg's...

If the helmet saved him it was a fluke as most helmets can't stop high velocity 7.62 or 5.56 rounds.

True, but honestly their plan was really poorly thought through. Get communication with the drone pilot, tell him to inform you once russians are pinned down in the bunker, advance in the trench and throw every grenade you have through the door that seems a couple of meters away from the S shape it forms. They retreated 5mn too late.
It was so unnecessary that that guy lost his life that way, sadly. He was not really keen on covering himself well from the start. I thought they would take that. Showed how brutal the trench battle was and the quality of the troops fighting there in some sense.
Yeah, it's pretty sad to see that honestly. They're flying small common drones so the pilot can't be that far, even a regular walkie talkie would do the trick. We're in 2023 and these guys tried to attack a bunker with a couple of grenades by trying to shoot through the embrasure. That's just a terrible idea. Poor lads.
It made you think about all this 1:6 ratio nonsense going around with highly trained UA troops having big advantage in the field. I wish they were trained and equipped to the point that those ratios were actually true in close combats, and it would demoralize RA faster.
There's a real possibility russian troops are far worse. I mean their exit from the bunker is pretty laughable as well.
That's why I felt so bad about the UA fallen guy against these RA feckwits.
Either the Kuznetsov is in Sevastopol or a fuel storage was hit by the Ukrainians.
I think this sort of thing will increase as the Ukrainians begin to soften up Crimea for an eventual takeover at some undefined later date.
Supposedly drones over Belgorod as well. If Ukraine can degrade Russia's supplies in those areas, they'll have to shift supplies from the areas Ukraine can't hit like Rostov to Crimea and Belgorod.
Closer video:
Well in that particular position, the ratio so far is even much worse for the Russians. Part 1: 10 Russians liquidated, part 2: 7 hits. In part 3, one Ukranian soldier dies. Even if those 7 hits in part 2 resulted in 3-4 deaths, you have a 14:1 ratio so far and we haven't seen part 4 yet.
This system, by the looks of it a S-300, should receive a medal at this point

Looks like the back of a command post vehicle for a S-300 battery.
I know long-range weapons are effective in killing them, and I hope the UA has many of them. But Russians have plenty of those as well, and we don't see many clips from Russia showing similar killings of UA troops in trenches. There must be a large number as well.
I mention that in close combat, I wish and hope that UA has a lot of advantages because they will have those soon. Even with braindead soldiers, eventually the manpower would run out with that kind of ratio. Losing ground gradually in those cities would kind of indicate that the RA troops are not unfazed, and I think it is because their casualties are not high enough or one-sided enough to demoralize them, which would be key to defeating them, as the RA will still have plenty of supplies for quite a while yet. You can't hope like we did a year ago that the RA will run out of whatever.
Looks like the final push for Bakhmut is happening.
Pretty irrelevant actually, from a tactical point of view. Except that the Wagners pretty much are obliterated and the Russian forces in general are much weakened. Whatever happens, the fight for Bakhmut has been a great victory for Ukraine.
Can a loss be a win?
Yes, in the long run. If we lost first match of the season to Liverpool but at the same time injured 10 of their players for the rest of the season, we'd be pretty sure to end up above them on the table at the end.
As long as we don't hurt ourselves doing that.
Thoughts? For what it's worth, this is Varoufakis' party 5-point peace proposal:
Wouldn't work because both parties wouldn't go for it. Putin has to show gains in this war for domestic consumption and Zelenskyy is under a strong mandate from his population to win back all lost territory. The guy criticizing Varoufakis is spot on.
As long is martial
North Korea at this point. Poor kids...
Dunno who Varoufakis is, but ceding Crimea and signing military 'neutrality' tells me he doesn't understand the situation at all, or he likes the ruble.
