They couldn't do it when they were at their strongest position and now they think they'll do it, when Ukrainians are well equipped and ready, just cause they'll throw few hundred thousand unprepared and underequipped soldiers into a meat grinder.

He has gone full hitler
The Kremlin will end up making the number of Chinese and North Korean casualties during the Korean War look like a footnote in comparison. And I thought those idiots had learned since then that numbers do not win wars.
I’m pretty sure there’s a huge misreporting ongoing right from the ground troops to their commanders and generals and when the information finally reaches Putin it barely resembles the reality. That’s how regimes built on corruption work.

It all reminds me of that scene from Downfall movie in the Hitler bunker.
This is brilliant:
It's a pisstake.
First they came for me, and I spoke out - because I’m not a paedophile or a pervert!
Is it? I don’t find it particularly funny personally. For those who don’t speak Russian, which is the majority of people here, the subtitles have nothing to do with what they’re actually saying.
Exactly. They’re gonna have to do another round of draftees before they ever leave Russia.
It's a pisstake as I mentioned. A parody. I think it's spot on personally.
It's a pisstake but not far from the truth.
Yes, far more heartbreaking than anything else. Putin is basically holding an entire nation hostage in order to preserve his own life.
Peace is right around the corner!
Making it all about himself as per usual.
Not for the squeamish (no death or blood)...
the sooner they check hunter bidens laptop for details on the sabotage the safer we will all be
And Germany will pay for it.
We had our Russia related wall phase already
No problem, a new tax with a very German name e.g. Friedensbeitrag or Kriegsverhinderungszuschlag.
So effectively the opposite of the Friedensdividende?
Positive rumors continue to roll in from the Lyman area and a developing encirclement:
The real target is Svatove though with forces coming from north (Kupyansk) direction to close the gap, they’ll just bypass Lyman by completely encircling it as they did to many towns during Izium counteroffensive. The whole flank then may fold there really quickly from Luhansk side as there no real fortifications all the way to pre-2022 invasion line.
Surely that would leave them open to being flanked by however many Russians are still in Lyman?

Bragging about their war crimes…
I wouldn't think so, Ukraine is aware of the Russian troops there and actively works on encircling them. You can’t flank troops creating a cauldron around you, you can just try to break out of it.
About closing the sky:
This delivery (the first IRIS-T SLM ever, this isn't existing stock) was earlier expected for December, so there was a nice speed up in production. Ukrainian MoD also reported that their troops finished training on it, so it can be expected that this can be immediately put into action.

This is good stuff hopefully they can get an adequate number of these.
So far seven systems have been ordered, but it looks like only about pne per month can be delivered. That's not the biggest numbers, but as each system can cover an area about 40km across each can protect one big city or something like that.
More powerful air defense assets are needed, that’s an area where other states should step up as well.
Former US General Petraeus discusses logistics of maintaining an M-1 tank, and thus the hesitancy to give them to Ukraine, among other things.
18 HIMARS, I think Ukraine got like 16 right now so it would more than double it.
How many billions has the US already put in as aid? I am certain orange cnuty will start spewing about it soon if not already.
This is why the Ukrainians and Americans were hoping that the Germans would transfer their surplus tanks. M1s use a turbine engine rather than a normal engine. The Leopard uses a normal diesel engine.
