it looks like the russians are moving one of the last resurve units of the russian army into the fight..
its the 70th MRD (division) the 70th is a new division that was formed in crimea just 2 years ago and has been in the kherson region from then on.

people throwing this video around showing the "ukraine invasion" of the donbas ..

there are "issues" its fake...

a thread.

1. the vehicles in question are BMD2s (airborne APCs).. ukraine didnt have any in 2014. this one is factory fresh and new... ukraine was broke in 2014 and most of its vehicles looked like shit.

ok so far this is what we know..
the raid was from the 132 MRB (russia), from the looks the 132nd is only a few companies right now (not 10+) so sevearly undermanned.

right now im seeing videos of the AFU handing out water to exhausted russians that are seeking out azov troops to surrender to. one stated he had NO supplies.

some of the video i can not repost yet.

but it looks like the 132nd was thrown away and never had a chance. azov corps is quickly cleaning up the area from reports

x.com/GloOouD/status… the 132nd was recently spotted south of pork. this means it had to disingage from combat, get pulled back without resupply or reforming.. then get thrown into battle over 30 km away, and walk 15km without more supplies then they could carry.

if it keeps going this way the EU and the USA will be at war in the next 50 years... and the US will lose.

the EU has far more growth potential than the USA and is drawing in more countries while the USA is driving more countries away..

with a larger and rebuilt europe goals around the world will clash and we will turn the EU from allies to a competitor to a "threat".

while the EU is massively gearing up to fight russia the US will throw 1-2 trillion at a iron dome that cant work. while cutting force projection and conventional forces..

the US is already outmatched in many areas right now (conventional forces, production of armored vehicles, ships, and ammunition). it has a slight aerospace lead but much of that is from partnerships in europe.. much of the F35 is from europe and while the F47 is crap and not ready for production the tempest is moving ahead...

facts are facts


just an example....
the new artillery system we are going to buy is...... german, and we are not going to buy many..

soooooooo
it looks like the russians are stripping off old AK630 ADA guns from ships and are going to use them to defend the army...
"yea for them"...
but. they were designed for on ship use and that means lots of electricity and weight is no an issue..

on land that is a BIG issue.

next time someone says anything about ukraine and nazies... please push this back at them..
this is the insignia of the ... RUSSIAN liberation army..
200,000 russians that volunteered to join the german army in WWII...

yes russians then and now are nazies en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_L…

im tired about talking to silly people about kursk... so i hope this helps clear things up!!!!
1 2

abkhazia..
riots ongoing
federal government has been taken over and the local police and military have joined the rioters....

putin must act and act soon, lets see what happens. russia has conscripts and some HQ troops nearby, probably a national guard battalion...

800-1000 untrained troops.. maybe

another airfield hit!!!
Marinovka lots of fires

t.me/vchkogpu/50150

ok someone is out there calling me out...
so im going to clarify something...
the super brigade... for the last year i have been saying that the use of the term brigade in the ukr military has SOMEWHAT lost its meaning...

and here is why...
this is a normal brigade in the west..

HQ battalion
3 combat maneuver battalions
artillery battalion
support battalion

what we know, dont know, suspect...
and 2 COA... in the north sector we KNOW of
2 mech brigades
1 TDF brigade
1 brigade worth of recon / sept battalion
border guards
1 arty brigade..

i SUSPECT that they have 6+ brigades on the way or on stand by..
13th jager
144th
150th
and more

on the russian side they have about 3-4 rgt of untrained conscripts...
akhmut battalion (last seen running)
local national guard bn
border guard battalion (crushed)
1 BN+ of the 488th (conscripts)
air force infantry rgt (underequipped)

on the way is a T-62 battalion, already taking losses..
and probably a infantry brigade 2-7 days out.
with a division following (if they can move it...) 7-10 days

this is what we know so far..
brigade + incursion into kursk.
so far its 7km deep... (russian kharkiv maxed out at 6.5).
the ukr forces are still advancing..
russia is rushing the 22nd brigade? to the front along with air cover.. ukraine is wrecking everything with drones.
russian TG and social media proves they were not ready for this.

if you follow me and on my twitter space i kept pointing this force out for the last 2 months.

people keep asking me ...
"what is the US plan for ukraine?"

its simple..
no strikes inside russia...
get to the end of 2024 and into 2025 and then give russia a chance to end the war.

thats the plan.
how do i know??
simple the head of the NSC, Jon Finer openly states that is the policy.

a thread about patriots.....
keeping it simple you have 2 kinds of rockets
pac2 is larger and has more range and you can have 4 on a launcher...

pac3 are smaller, less range but you can have 18 on a launcher

russian logistics and how they are messing up...
one sign is not being able to cloth its units in modern standard of uniform..
the current issue is supposed to be digi flora.
this camo was picked YEARS ago to outfit everyone in the russian military...
remember this is the STANDARD!!!
and nearly every member of the armed forces of the russian federation was issued at least 3 sets.

the russian national guard had its own uniform, its a cheap copy of the US ATACS uniform... again this was standard!!!

only the 2 uniforms are official in the russian military.. but things change when you are losing a war.
uniforms of all types are now being issued..
note all pictures are from death notices in russian news..

700k is not going to cut it. the allies had only about 16 divisions for desert storm and 900K +

NO SHIT
i have been reporting on this for over a year and how the valuation was WAY WAY off....
i know military vehicles.. the price they were "charging " for them was nuts!!!!
people like john ridge and a few others said i was a liar.... well turns out i was right from the start!!!
this is the 2nd time that they have been caught overvaluing the gear..
DLA is a place where senior shit former officers go after a shit time in the military. they need adult supervision, and thats the truth.

the iranian president was in a
bell 212...
that was VFR rated (visual flight rules)
that was 40 + years old
that canada grounded in 2022 (where it was made)
not good at high alt.
the visibility was under 5 m
it had no radar
another crashed in 2023 in the gulf...
many crashes over the last 5 years.
this aircraft was sanctioned, no parts could legally be purchased not the first one to crash

people asking me how units like the 93rd be in the fight near kaharkiev and not be pulled out of the fight in the south...
simple they are NOT normal brigades..
US and most other brigades look like this.... this is the 93rd brigade....
and this has about the same firepower as a US or western brigade... but wait there is more.....

1 of ?
there has been lots of talk of more bradleys going to ukraine..

so lets take a look at the bradley and see how many could probably go...

ok so the TOTAL number of bradleys made by FMC (food machine co) was 6724..
the LAST hull was made in 1991, any after that were rebuilt hulls.

FMC has long ago shut down production and now BAE makes all the parts for the bradley except for the hull and turret... 2. desert storm... in that war about 20 were lost total...
i was RIGHT behind one that was hit by a RPG.. TF 1-41 infantry, battle of norlfolk. 6704

RUSSIAN TG "FIGHTER BOMBER"
getting sober about the F16.

More about the F-16.

We have been waiting for the F-16 for three years, and there are still decades before that. We hung out with them in the KOR and in the Far East, and assessed them in Syria. In general, we always prepared for a fight with him.
Purely theoretically, it is not yet very clear what the crests are counting on. We are preparing for a fight with F-16s that are as close as possible to the block 52 modification. That is, top-end, or pre-top-end, with the coolest missiles.
But in terms of range of Air-to-Air missiles, we have at least the same range as the F-16, or we shoot further. In terms of the range of the sights, we see and capture the F-16 better than it does us, and significantly. Not to mention the illumination during maneuvers. In terms of the number of fighters we are again larger, in terms of the level of training of pilots we are many times stronger, we have more missiles again, in terms of air defense, we will again beat the Ukrainians in every respect. 2 But of course, “not everything is so simple,” there will be a fight and you have to try very hard to beat the F-16 dry.
It is unlikely that the Little Russian will go to fight them with us on equal terms. Rather, he will analyze the air situation, look for single targets at sea, bombers without cover, helicopters, and again use ambush tactics.
This is if he plans to work for them by air. As with the "Patriots", the crest will fire packs of missiles towards the target without illuminating the target, in the hope that the active head of the missile will catch the target with some minimal probability. Avaks can provide full support for air combat only in areas bordering the Kyiv and Odessa regions. Well, over the sea. The farther away the helpers are from the borders, the worse and worse the help will be.

There is an opinion that at the beginning of their appearance they will be used exclusively against our air defense and ground targets. This is obvious, because The F-16 can use Air-to-Radar and Air-to-Ground missiles much more effectively than the Su-24 and MiG-29 to which the crests attached the missiles with tape.
