Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By wayfaerer320: Winter War 2.0 The Ukrainians are outnumbered and outgunned just like the Finns were 83 years ago. I hope that (like the Finns), the Ukrainians make the Russians pay dearly for every inch of ground they advance. The weather has helped Ukraine greatly - off road movement appears to be very limited because of ground conditions. Russian units drive up a road, where they can be hit by anti-armor teams. The main difference between this and the British XXX Corps at Market-Garden, is that the Russians have more than one road to use, but still limits the force that can be brought to bear like the English did to the French at Agincourt, US to the Brits at Plattsburg in 1814, or the Brits to the Zulus at Roark's Drift, and so on. |

It seems like this would be an ideal time for Putin to announce that he has kicked the shit out of Ukraine for making noise about joining nato, and that now he is going to take his victorious heros back to Russia for some well earned parades and feasts.

India has played both sides for a long-time and as you said they are a major purchaser of Russian military hardware. I believe they will come around if Russia seeks to tie itself closer to China as India's main fear is a strong China. Pakistan is up there as well, but India considers themselves superior to Pakistan. China is a peer and an enemy, and when Russia ditches India for China's warm embrace the Indians will flip. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By si6oart: I concur. Ominously quiet, like before a tornado or in the eye of a hurricane. With the stories about logistics issues and the timetable being off, my guess is an operational pause to resupply and move to a branch plan. We're already hearing about the axis of advance in the south shifting east towards Mariupol, so perhaps they are making changes up north as well? Given what appears to be the failure of their plan to quickly seize the capital via airborne operations, they might be shifting to an alternate plan of surrounding the city. That isn't an easy task and it requires time to get the armored forces moving in the right direction and with the necessary supplies and fire support to accomplish it. A 24 hour pause to consolidate and reorganize before resuming the offensive would make sense. We'll know soon enough. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By www-glock19-com: What rifles are those VHS? Ukrainian version of a CTAR. I think it's called the Fort-221. Edit: The Fort-221 carbine used by Ukrainian Special Forces is a license-built copy of the Israeli CTAR-21 bullpup weapon with 15-inch barrel, but chambered in 5.45x39mm instead of the usual 5.56x45mm. The IPI Malyuk (“Baby”), also known as the Vulcan-M, and also made in Ukraine, is a nearly-identical copy of the Fort-221 or CTAR-21, with a 16.33-inch barrel, in either 5.45x39mm or 7.62x39mm models, adopted for service in 2016. The AK-74 in 5.45mm is also in use, as the nation’s standard, assault rifle, and its compact AKS-74U (often suppressed) variant is the Ukrainian Army’s standard carbine, used by Special Forces and vehicle crews. |

Nothing makes sense with this war. Nothing.
At this point I wouldn't be surprised if Putin: 1. retreats his forces and declares "victory." 2. Goes scorched Earth and starts bombing civilian targets indiscriminately. There's been little news come out and I can't find a ton of info on Reddit Europe's live thread. What I did find out: -Damage from Russian shelling at Kharkiv -significant battle at Povitroflotsky bridge in Kyiv I gotta head to bed, long day tomorrow. Maybe I'll wake up to 30 pages to read through, or maybe things stay quiet. Really odd feeling I have about this thing though. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By CTAC: Why do I get the feeling that we'll see? I have a feeling Eastern Europe will get a say in it too I’ve had a bad feeling about this conflict since we started hearing an invasion was imminent. Putin has to be nearly insane to have committed to this invasion to begin with. There were plenty of posters on here in this thread saying it would most likely be a quagmire for Russia and that he didn’t have near enough forces to take Ukraine. The fact that he’s crazy enough to have risked all of this for his country, makes me think he’s crazy enough to fire off a tactical nuke. His speech on Monday confirms he’s not right in the head. Maybe he’s dying of cancer or something. I think this is one of the scariest times for nukes to potentially be used since the Cuban missile crisis or the Able Archer exercise in the early 1980s. |

Ok it’s been more than 24 hours. Where’s a single verifiable current photo of proof that Ukraine downed 2 IL76? I want to believe! But the only photo I’ve seen of a down transport said “this is what a destroyed one looks like in this photo from 2014”. Hard to believe with all the tweets that we only have a cryptic Marco Rubio text only tweet, even in his position, as the most credible source that even one was downed let alone 2.
