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

US arms international trade is up over 50% cutting Russian arms exports and future contracts by 60%.

The reasons for this are the preference for US armaments over Russian ones and Russia’s inability to produce enough arms for their own use causing Russia to curry favor with Iran and North Korea for their military needs.

You wanna shoot some quail, Brother?

Out of 300 thousand Ukrainian Jews, less than 2000 serve in the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and none are in the assault squads.

Ukraine got another one of russia's top of the line bombers today. And russia hasn't been able to advance any... with winter setting in good... they are going to have problems just staying allive. I hear putin is having a severe problem with his populace wanting him gone. Well anyway.

Yeah. Russia knows nothing of winter. Thanks, Biden.

By late spring, the Russians had adopted the kind of deep, prepared defenses that have been very difficult for attackers to break through for more than the last century of combat experience.

Breakthrough has been—and still is—possible in land warfare. But this has long required permissive conditions that are now absent in Ukraine: a defender, in this case Russia, whose dispositions are shallow, forward, ill prepared, or logistically unsupported or whose troops are unmotivated and unwilling to defend their positions.

That was true of Russian forces in Kyiv, Kharkiv, and Kherson in 2022. It is no longer the case.

The implications of this for Ukraine are grim. Without an offensive breakthrough, success in land warfare becomes an attrition struggle. A favorable outcome for Ukraine in a war of attrition is impossible, as it will require its forces to outlast a numerically superior foe in what could become a very long war.

it seems to me and anyone with an IQ of 85 and up, that the Russians aren't doing so well.

morons, imbeciles and idiots say that the Ukrainians aren't doing so well.

it is day 706 that is supposed to be, by the Russian's own opinion, is 3 - 5 days. let me see here, i take 706 and i subtract 3 to 5 and i come of with 703 to 701 days. hmmmm....maybe i'm wrong, but Ukrainians are doing alright with the little equipment we send them.

it is amazing that the Ukrainians bomb any military equipment, artillery shells, or military officers in Russia. the Black Sea is supposed to Russian held, but them dang Ukrainians still do their thing on the Black Sea. oh, what about the Russian aircraft? Russia is supposed to have Air Dominance or Air Supremacy, but Russia at best can do Air Parity and that is even questionable.

the world's second best army is held up by little old Ukraine.

Putin now receiving even more protests from military wives who are risking losing everything by the new kremlin edict of seizing the property of those guilty of speaking out against the war and against how soldiers are forced to stay on the front lines with no rotational breaks in their service.

Wow, just like America's very own J6 actions!

I've been watching some videos of drones the size of toolbox blowing up tanks and stalking men

that is a very, very effective weapon

Whoever you're getting your info from doesn't understand the difference between "missiles" and "bombs". That should concern you.

Your inability to read and understand should concern you.

Congratulations on keeping your sexual preferences out of a post.

Well done, pervert.

Biden is bypassing the congressional deadlock on aid to Ukraine by sending weaponry via Greece then on to Ukraine.
