Russian invasion of Ukraine

What’s made Ukrainian drones so effective lately? Some sort of hardware upgrade?
Click to expand...
An upgrade in the speed capability and explosive force delivered by Marine drones.
UAV (air) drones:
1. the creation of a larger more effective explosive charge dropped from Ukrainian UAVs The cases are "printed" and filled with a "sqash head" C4 charge.
2. A domestically produced long range 500km UAV air drone that can hit Moscow and any where near the Kerch Bridge and Novorossiysk (Cacussus Black Sea port) and has a low radar profile.

SpiderBoys assertion that somat was going to happen Saturday in Belarus...
According to Ukraine, Russia is planning a false flag attack on a refinery in Belarus to try and drag Belarus into the war.

By making it public knowledge it kills the plan so can’t see anything happening now.

I mean it’s important to have a realistic discussion is it not?

As said many times, Russia’s only tactic at this point is to hold out until the next US Elections and hope Trump wins. During the 9+ month campaign trail, it will be politically very difficult for Biden to send more large packages, but so long as the ‘alliance’ of other countries keeps up the funding and Biden wins again, then we will all get what we want which is a full Ukrainian victory, but clearly it won’t happen in 2023.

Equally the golden ticket in this thread is F16s, which it may well be, yet Ukraine has only been able to put forward 8 pilots as suitable for training…..a further 20 will likely spend the winter in the Uk learning English before starting training next year, but still…..28 pilots isn’t going to touch the sides, especially with Russia still having air capabilities.

The other common suggestion in this thread is that Russia is out of weapons and men and a complete collapse is only a matter of days now. Yet Lithuanian media, quoting their intelligence services, say 80+ of Putins closest oligarchs have turned their business empires to equipping the Russian army, and almost all are not under any western sanctions……alongside this Ukraine have been shouting about the drones and missiles they’ve been taking apart that are stuffed full of Western tech with 2022/23 serial numbers….

As at the start, we all desperately hope Ukraine are able to finish the job next year and Putin gets Mussolini’d in Red Square, but it shouldn’t be an issue to post the realistic situation alongside what we want to happen.
 
Anyone got a stat on how much land has been taken back since the spring offensive began?
