Russian invasion of Ukraine

Dogtanian said:
So with the American leaks coming out that they don't think Ukraine has much of a chance of regaining any land they have already lost and also they think the war will go on for at least another year then where do people think this will end? Will it be peacetalks with Ukraine surrendering land or will they hope to outlast putin

That will be the turning point of this war if Ukraine reach Crimea. How hard will Russia fight to hold it as losing the peninsula would be a humiliation for Putin considering he set out to conquer the whole country. If it did come to the point where Crimea could be taken back would the nuclear threat be chucked out there to stop it from happening?

I’m sure the tedious cunts will be ramping up the nuclear rhetoric at the point Crimea looks under threat. Best filed under ‘ignore’.

Absolute fucking joke of a country.

Putin potentially being humiliated won't make the Russian soldiers any more competent, their equipment any better or make them fight any harder. Think the nuclear threat card has been overplayed at this stage as well.

Russia is "going backwards" in equipment and deploying post WWII-era tanks, according to Western officials​

Russia is "going backwards" with the equipment it is using in Ukraine, Western officials said, explaining they’ve seen Moscow deploy tanks originally built after World War II while it struggles to replenish stocks of lost armored vehicles.
Officials said during a briefing on Tuesday they hadn't seen "a large uptick in increasing equipment."
"If anything, the equipment they [the Russians] are using is older generation," they said, adding Moscow had been increasingly relying on older models of tanks in the war.
"They started with the T-80 and T-90 [tanks], went down to T-72, and indeed, we saw the first T-55s rolled out of the refurbishment to be put into battle and the same picture across artillery pieces as well," the officials said.
The T-90 was first introduced in 1992, the T-80 in 1976, while the T-72 came into service in 1972 and the T-55 after World War II in 1948.
"They're going backwards in terms of equipment," they added.
The officials also said Russia was still struggling with manpower, explaining that despite being able to muster large numbers of personnel, Moscow was still not providing them with adequate training.
“We've seen two quite relatively small training cycles go through Belarus, but out of a force of 150,000 which they claimed were mobilized, we've probably seen maybe 15,000 which have gone for any kind of company level training,” the officials said. “That's where we see the Russian force at the moment; it’s been degraded from the force that originally went into Ukraine.”
