Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Ukraine’s “Counter-Offensive” Major Belly Flop

The Ukrainian army has lost over 26,000 men and over 3,000 items of military hardware in its failed Spring Counter-Offensive, said Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu, including 12 US Bradley fighting vehicles and 17 German Leo II tanks.

Since the start of the Ukrainian counter-offensive on Kharkiv and Zaporizhzhia June 4, Ukraine’s losses “have reached over 26,000 servicemen and 3,000 items of various pieces of armament,” Shoigu said, according to TASS.

According to the Russian Defense Minister, Russian troops destroyed 21 planes, five helicopters, 1,244 tanks and other armored vehicles, 17 German-made Leopard tanks, five AMX tanks produced by France and 12 US-made Bradley infantry fighting vehicles in the counter-offensive.

Shoigu claimed Russian forces eliminated 914 pieces of automotive equipment, two air defense systems, 25 multiple-launch rocket systems (MLRS), 403 field artillery cannons and mortars. He said Russian air defense systems shot down 176 HIMARS rockets, 27 Storm Shadow air-launched cruise missiles and 483 drones of the Ukrainian armed forces.

According to Shoigu, the USA are well aware of “the high efficacy of our defense lines and barrier minefields, [and the] professional work of army aviation and ground-attack aircraft who carry out pre-emptive strike at the adversary’s targets.”

According to sources, Russia’s heavy use of land mines is the main reason the much-awaited Ukrainian offensive hit a brick wall. Battefield images seemed to show U.S. Bradley Fighting Vehicles and German Leopard II tanks taken out by land mines. Observes say this may be the reason the USA are considering delivering cluster munitions to Ukraine.

Most of your tax money for Ukraine was likely stolen, the rest has been blown-up.

Meanwhile, Zelensky is probably in Florida, supervising the construction of his Multi-Million dollar mansion.

The Russians are a very trust worthy source!

I'll take the Russians perspective over Team Biden any day of the week.

Well, have you got proof otherwise? What did anyone think would happen? Ukraine has lost many thousands of men and it's population has been fleeing in droves since the beginning of the war we instigated. This insanity must stop before we run out of money and ammunitions to support the carnage with. It's our tax money that's financing this war and Lindsay Graham couldn't be happier. This regime must be removed before it destroys America along with the other nations it's tinkering with.

Trusting a dictator or a career politician who is clearly mentally impaired is never a good choice.
These.days we don't need to do either as their are plenty of good independent sources.

"destroyed 21 planes and 1244 tanks"
Seriously, why do you guys read this crap? You fall all over yourselves to believe any source that says what you want to hear.

Personally, I don't fully believe either side. We will *really* know in the end and only then.
But if you read both sides, it's pretty easy to see who depends on propaganda and encourages people to "feel" instead of think and which side, though they may exaggerate their opponents loses, isn't trying to manipulate you with Rah-Rah, Feel Good BS or call you a bad person if you don't support them.

IMO, Ukraine has zero credibility. Oh, and add to that the fact they are a bunch of LGBT/WEF Marxists.
