all the silly id1ots have been saying that ukr will be in trouble when china ships weapons to them.. BUT ...
1. OOCL (chinas largest shipper) just announced that they will no longer ship containers to russia.
2. china has barred the servicing of commercial aircraft in china
3. china has banned russian credit cards in china

4. china has refused to send dual use machine tools to russia

5. the only weapons that have been sent are 1000 semi auto AR15 nock offs that are not good at all
6. china has blocked north korea from sending arms to russia

7. china has undercut russian arms sales by going after former russian customers and offering china versions of the same systems.
8. china has had a major meeting with the leaders of all the stans. and didnt invite russia.

9. china is (from reports) selling russia and uraine about the same amount of uniforms and boots, at the same time, and loading them on aircraft at the same time on the same taxiway
10. china has sold far more drone components to ukraine than to russia

11. the last few long range drone attacs were made by china made drones.
so please keep talking about china.

unless something BIG changes, china is only out to make money.

had to make a thread to answer to this question'...
"Adrian
@Adrian63124519
Replying to
@secretsqrl123
The big question is, will there be enough of them to create a significant breakthrough through russian defences? "
@Adrian63124519 "I was reading some experts saying at least 3-400 heavy battle tanks would be required for a sustained succesfull counteroffensive. Lets hope Ukr can pull it off."
@Adrian63124519 ok how can i put this without upsetting anyone..
i was once told by my aussi father in law that that a "EXPERT" is "just a drip under pressure"...

many dont know what the F they are talking about,
example .... chuck, or the SKY former air marsh, or others.

looks like oryx is WAY WAY behind in keeping up with the list (i give him credit for keeping up like he has been). but now its clear that the oryx numbers are way off on russian losses. from a post one of the main guys behind the real counting may have left oryx.
here is a example of what im talking about, a few months ago a artillery yard in the orange box full of BM21s was hit by ukr.. MANY vehicles were there.. 20-30+.. never counted. in the red box is a major salvage yard (i cant post the current sat pic.)
but in the red box there are 3-400 wrecked, smashed, burned armored vehicles, tanks, artillery, trucks etc...
and this is one of 4-5 areas like this behind the lines. and it looks like none are counted. again he is doing a good job. but he cant catch everything.

nets going up over russian trenches..
1. they dont blend in so everyone knows where to hit
2. many / most attack drones carry more than 1 grenade... double taps will take this out. first grenade hits and makes a hole next one goes through.
3. if this is plastic (as i think it is then a thermo grenade will catch a huge amount of this on fire making poison smoke and flame.
4. this will be false hope, it will draw more troops together and make single grenade hits more effective.
5. there is a difference between cover and concealment

i got a comment today.. YEA!!! "I broadly agree with your analysis, my one critique is that, while a lot of the Russian equipment sucks (especially T-55s, Jesus) most of it is still deadly to some degree. The Russian strategy has always been to rely on numbers."
Most of the time it works, sometime it doesn’t. I know this is Twitter and it’s enjoyable to dunk on idiots but I think you have a lot of insight that could help people understand the balance of forces,
threat and strategies in play vs. spending a lot of time pointing out that Russian equipment is generally poor.

ok i do not know 100% what went down.
i have had my run in with JV. he seemed to be mad at the world, and made threats to people all the time (when he was int he US).
but i did give him some credit for going to ukr and helping (we should be able to see eye to eye on that).
BUT
i do know he was breaking opsec, some of the things he was posting i would never do.. and some of the things were just strange.

i dont like biden (BUT) i agree with him on ukraine, and we can agree to disagree on other things.. BUT he kept wanting to go political.
also it appeared that he loved the lime light.. all that is forgivable due to the fact that it APPEARED that he was with the ASU in some way.. good for him..

but then the money questions, ok got it bad book keeping benefit of the doubt... ukraine and all...

ok now the silly statement of the night and why its silly.....

@Balkan_WayAS
and
@secretsqrl123
If Russia uses tactical nukes, then the world is done. There is no going back if Russia pulls that trigger

@Balkan_WayAS the whole nuke thing here again...
and tactical nukes at that...
1. how old are you?
2. did you not live through THE COLD WAR?

tactical nukes were threatened every week prior to 1991. and they were planned to be used... so big deal
@Balkan_WayAS tactical nukes are NOT THAT big, and really dont do THAT much damage (not like you see in movies)...

a tactical nuke if used would probably be fired out of a 152mm or a 203mm cannon.
