Ukraine - Russia Conflict
- Thread starter randomradio
- Start date
For a brief period they maybe did. But Russian has had 1200 casualties in one day in the last week and 800-1000 every other day. At times they have suffered nearly 1600-2000/day in the last month, and far more than that per day in the opening weeks. When you look at the amount of Russian equipment destroyed, that's quite conservative.
Someone has been smoking again.
And again.
And again.
For Europe it does not even matter what one thinks the outcome will be. If Russia succeeds in taking land then they will go for more later, so the best option is to kill as many of them as possible for as long as possible, regardless of the eventual outcome. So trying to convince us that the result will be this or that is both meaningless and pointless.

When you say "allies" you don't include Russia/Soviets because the Russians were in the same boat Ukraine is right now relying on western aid. It was western aid (Lend lease) according to Stalin and Khrushchev that saved them from zee Germans and how ironic it is western aid to Ukraine that has kept Russia from achieving victory over a peasant nation just over its border. Also ironic like zee Germans, Russian resources (militarily) is running out relying on very old soviet era weapons while Ukraine has an open tap of western equipment.
You can't make this sht up.... seriously bruh.
The lend-lease compensated for civilian systems while the Soviets transitioned to a war economy. It happened because it worked in the favour of both sides. The same thing's not happening in Ukraine because this is modern warfare, not WW2-era warfare. Now there are missiles and aircraft that can shut down factories with precision.
This is something a lot of the Indian "we must be completely indigenous" folks also don't understand. Meaning, a country cannot fight a war with a large power without protecting production facilities.
And Western supplies to Ukraine are not coming in the numbers necessary. It's not even 1% of what's actually needed.
Britain: Russia has removed several key generals from Ukraine
The British defence ministry said on Saturday that Russia had likely withdrawn several generals from key command roles in the Ukraine conflict this month.
Yeah, and they'll get it. They're already conducting mass naval drills in the Baltics.
That would mean calling it 'a war' though, which would make Putin look an ars for locking people up for doing just that. It would also become even more unpopular very fast. Right now the war only has limited popularity because idiots can cheer from the sidelines. Start sending them to The Hotel California and things will change.
Russia has sent many train and convoy loads of equipment and people to the war since in started. You know this if you've been following the thread. The original allocation of tanks and APCs is gone. They've used thousands of cruise missiles and Iskander-Ms since the war started. They'd used 2,000 cruise missiles (doesn't include Iskander-Ms) as of early May, and about the same again since. The US only used 955 in the Iraqi in 2003, and only 35 CALCM and 288 Tomahawks in Desert Storm. The Russians are far more stretched than you are capable of admitting.
