Russian invasion of Ukraine

Russian propagana claiming Ukrainian forces tried to cross the Dnipro and lost 30 men,2 vehicles and 3 boats was sunk...........
What happened was......
3 boats crossed,let rip at a load of Russians,killing quite a few.
All 3 boats left,with all men aboard,all 3 boats returned safe and sound.
Worst injury was 1 soldier shot in the arm.....no vehicles returned,because no vehicles went.

Slava Ukraini.

Those Leopards from industry will be 88 Leo 1 (not what needed plus very limited amount of ammo, if sources are correct)
and 22 Leo 2, ready to deliver end of 2023...
and 29 Leo 2 in exchange for T-72s from other countries (swap deal).

It seems more probable that Germany would contribute
19 Leo 2/A5 that won't be upgraded anymore and will be out of service in 2026 anyway (German tv published a detailed list of Leo 2 subtypes in German army til 2026).

The whole debate seems to be an orchestrated play to pretend western countries are divided on that topic only to stretch all those tank/weapon supply news and follow the route of gradual escalation.

Only a fool would believe NATO didn't have a plan when tanks would be needed latest and the time frame for all steps necessary to reach that aim. IMO.

Leopard 1s? Surely not. They've been outdated for decades.

I’ve been in Bali for the last month & the place is flooded with Russians, according to the locals they all started arriving around Covid. A lot of intimidating gangsters but many just finding a place to be outside of Russia. On the whole they aren’t liked, very aggressive & taking advantage of corrupt police.

Apparently it’s the same in many places around the world. It made me think if Russia is conscripting are these on the run? Is there freedom of movement for Russians?

Most, if not all, the young one's you see around the world are avoiding the draft. They go to Bali as it is easy to get a long visa and if you do overstay, the penalty is not so bad. Thailand is in the same situation.
 
Russian barracks hit and destroyed,Mariupol,Donetsk Region.
Estimated over 200 inside,casualties unknown at the minute.

Slava Ukraini.

It has a good weapon suspension and modern optics through a face lift. It's 105mm gun will do against most Russian tanks par some t-90 variants. It shares a lot of pieces with its big brother, so maintanence is doable.

I know what you mean, but I find the whole thing quite bonkers (and sad). Recently I have read about how the Russians are 'going over the top' and dying in numbers like in 1914-1918 and also 1941-1945 and it saddens me - even though they started it. At least back 100 years life was pretty sh1t and you would probably not get much past 65 anyway. Now we have the internet, Xbox and long lives, yet still people fight and die before they get old. I really hoped things had moved on, certainly in so-called western civilizations. What is going on...?

700 million people or 10% of the world population live in extreme poverty, surviving on about £2 a day. I expect most of Russia's cannon fodder comes from freezing impoverished shit holes in Siberia and don't have xbox.

I think I read that 30% of Russian households don't have inside toilets or bathrooms. Sounds like 1939.
