Russia - threadbanned users in OP

Alot of those pointing out the immense challenges facing Ukraine are saying the exact same thing as the Ukrainian leadership.

A lot of the Slava Ukraine crew are offering unlimited solidarity, contempt for Putin and Russia but one shell in to a Russian barracks canteen at Supper time is more effective than a lifetime of unconditional love and support.

Yeah they seem to be hitting Kharkiv with the FAB glide bombs over last few days. Launching them from Russian territory as I think they have 60km reach on them. They don't seem to be getting taken out by Ukrainian AA which means Kharkiv doesn't have as much AA around it or on the approach towards Kharkiv. But yeah it's a major population centre so a lot would leave but I think as so close to Russian border I do wonder would a decent amount stay as they are pro Russian? But Ukraine are vert short on man power hence why the mobilised age limit has been dropped by 2 years but I say a lot of people that age might of left Ukraine or might try to if they don't want to get mobilised either. Ukraine needs a breather just to sort out their defences and to rotate troops but that's just not happening, they are setting up 3 major defence areas further back in Ukraine so that's something but that's also are they afraid that the Russians eventually might get that far into Ukraine as well. Ukraine is running short on everything at the moment, soldiers, ammo, artillery and time. The dithering in Washington over the 60 billion is a complete joke and a stain on the republicans, a lot of Ukraines have died over this not been transferred to them and a lot more will die over this delay. The FAB 500,1500 and I see Russia are making FAB 3000 and I think FAB 6000 are making static targets like trenches and bunkers and buildings into huge holes in the ground, these are giving Russia major advantage at the moment and there exploiting Ukraine there and the lack of AA weapons and ammo that could help defend against these.

I've commented on this manpower problem occasionally in the past and have been given warnings for 'annoying others' on this thread, so I don't know what Ukraine can do bar seal their borders and stop people leaving. It's a real problem for them so long as other European armies including our own are not prepared to go and give them a dig out. It seems that we expect them to just carry on bleeding and do little to support in practical ways.

Strange comment, don't be silly. Contempt is also important task. I mean, In consider myself as part of Slava Ukraini crew and offer never-ending support but I don't have shells to offer, its ilegal for me to buy/sell shells, I do donate some money however which hopefully contributes.

And for those Russians who have lost their enthusiasm, or are having second thoughts, the special encouragement line……..

That looks like the work of the great David Low. It seems his depictions of appeasment before the Second World War led to some in the British press labelling him a ''war monger'. Plus ça change…..

Comments say a s400. The less of these, the more havoc the UAF can cause the invaders

Just to put it out there that Sumy's in Ukraine and the source Telegram channel's description reads "Ukraine is a brain disease". So I'll leave it up to the reader to decide what to think about that.

Yes, I thought it was a strike on Russia and forgot Sumy is in free Ukraine. Only noticed my mistake after posting.

Air drones.

Now land drones that drive into place. Unload the mine and drive off. With either the mine on a timer or a string.

Thirteen people killed by the light aircraft drone attack on the drone manufacturing facility in Tartarstan. Nine different nationalities. Russia, Kyrgyzstan, Sri Lanka, Zimbabwe, Rwanda, Congo, Kenya, Nigeria, and South Sudan. 

A common theme are these are the poorest countries in the world. Teenagers and young adults from the poorest countries in the world are working building drones in Russia.

Are there recruitment ads in these countries of come to Russia. Learn a craft. Build drones?

they were there to build drones, proving your general vatnik is useless for anything really, apart from being used as cannon fodder.
