The Russian military repelled several large-scale attacks by Kiev forces in the South Donetsk and Zaporozhye directions between July 22 and 23.
While repelling the attacks, the Russian military reportedly destroyed seven German-made Leopard 2 main battle tanks and American-made Bradly infantry fighting vehicles. Video footage that surfaced online did show at least three damaged or destroyed Leopard 2 tanks as well as a fourth Leopard 2 and a Bradly vehicle receiving direct hits from FPV suicide drones.
The Russian military also thwarted an attempt by Kiev forces to deploy a Spanish-supplied Aspide medium-range air defense system near the front in Zaporozhye, destroying both the radar and the launcher of the system with Lancet loitering munitions.
In other directions, the Russian military used Lancet loitering munitions to destroy two American-made M777 towed howitzers.
Despite sustaining heavy losses, Kiev forces failed to make any new gains in South Donetsk, Zaporozhye or any other direction.
The last attacks came after a series of strikes against the Crimean Peninsula, which shows that the Kiev regime is still determined to go on with its so-called counteroffensive.
Since launching the counteroffensive exactly seven weeks ago, Kiev forces have failed to make any meaningful gains on the ground. The forces are still bogged down kilometers away from the Russian military’s main line of defense. This failure is leading to frustration among Kiev backers in NATO.
that is where tax payer’s money went to.
death economy globally
can someone explain what this western anti air is for. short range means its against small targets like drones, yet lancets destroy the anti air every time. is western aa just smoke and mirrors? does it even do anything?
as lindsay graham said, the usa is getting bang for its (taxpayer) buck from this conflict. it is not about ukraine or russia but the enfeebling of the eu and particularly germany. what little military the eu had is gone, germany hasn’t got one viable battalion while us troops in the eu await orders. eu taxpayers meanwhile fund their own imminent takeover by a fascist us proxy. it took 80 yrs for the nazis to win europe in the end, but after all the eu was their idea!
this is the cheapest ‘world war’ ever in real terms for the us. ukraine (ie the kiev fascist regime) has sacrificed: (1) hundreds of thousands of men, (2) its children (from being kidnapped for organ transplants to mutilation by cluster munitions), (3) its military – three times over, (4) its economy, (5) its key industries, (6) its black earth, (7) its political system, (8) its media, (9) its rich culture and (10) its sovereignty. all for the good old us of a to walk in and take over.
pretty much. imagine dying for all of that.
they are not ‘dying for all of that’, they are dying as part of that. the us (elites, corporates, military) now takes ukraine for free without a drop of blood or important armament. the us made a profit at every stage, from lend lease deals on junk equipment to energy contracts. now what little money the us put in, trump will demand back from the eu. its the usa’s war, but the eu’s money.
whether you pick up the rifle and go to war is a choice, at least it would be for a conscious individual. if there were no ukrainians stupid enough to enable that regime, it would not be happening. therefor they are indeed dying for that.
as long as npcs keep picking up a rifle to fight the russians, their ruling class will keep selling their children’s organs in the rear.
i take your point, except the ukrainian forces comprise mainly conscripts not volunteers. in the first months of the smo many military aged ukrainians fled, as highlighted by gonzalo lira. now conscripts are dragged violently off the streets to die at the front (most within 48 hours) for nothing – these range from age 16 (reportedly younger) to 75; with illness, injury or mental health being no barrier.
were they dealt a bad hand? sure. yet it is precisely in moments such as these where one’s free will truly matters. do you pick up a rifle and die for foreign malicious entities or do you refuse to cooperate, get lost, shoot your commander in the head(which we’ve seen videos of btw). yeah all of that carries a risk, but so is being cannon fodder on the fronts.
being forcibly pulled from a park bench and bundled into a van by several armed uniformed thugs when one has a serious spinal condition (to take one recent example) does not lend itself to effective resistance. how do any of us know we would cope? by way of comparison 90% of brits were voluntarily vaxxed with experimental mrna, and almost all meekly submit to the bbc licence fee.
getting the vaxx or getting into that van is a symptom of the same thing. a lack of autonomy.
voluntarily rolling one’s sleeve for a non-mandatory, experimental and unproven vaxx is a whole lot different to being physically dragged off a bench by several armed thugs. we can all try to exercise autonomy but whether we succeed or not depends wholly on the governing regime. one couldn’t say no to the vaxx if the front door was kicked down by police goons, who then pinned you down while nursie jabbed it in!!
i agree with everything you wrote except for the rich culture thing.
take a look back over the history of ukraine and its composers, authors, artists and poets. remember also the role of the russian language in ukraine, and the cross fertilisation between ukraine & russia from folkloric traditions to genuine collaboration/integration. several important artists often attributed as ‘russian’ were in fact ukrainian (ie sergei prokofiev).
the illustration on video 3 is strongly reminiscent of a windows xp adaptation
while i sleep, these battles are taking place.
looks like ukrainians asleep too.
some of them forever.
it amusing when u.s military claims they protect the freedom of their citizens.
its rather like a church preaching that it’s mandatory to obey, or suffer the wrath of god!
churches in ukraine should pray not to be struck by ukrainian s300 if you ask me and look at the odds of it occurring to how many times it has occurred already.
the world knows who the real nazis are, civilian targets are the specialty, the russian government is scum and the world will not forgive
quit projecting, you know very well its the opposite.
the world is fed up with your lies
yes, sure, we all very well know who are the real nazis and for whom such moronic hasbara hurenbkinder like you sell your arse: washington, london, brussels and telaviv. one sunny day these centers of the enemies of mankind, nazis, globalists, child rapists, children butcher and sexual rapists and satanists, will hopely get a warm up with few million degrees by a few sarmats.
with no air power, ukraine is fighting a hopeless war.
if this go on at such level and rates, in few months ukros will have no anything left, no tanks, afvs, ifvs, artillery…
nice! 💥💥💥💥💥
the m2 bradley didn’t see it coming.
let’s not forget that this is not a game. russian forces too suffer casualties. perhaps something like 5000 during the so-called counteroffensive. russia, however, cannot simply destroy ukraine, because it’s not officially a war. secondly, liberating and then defending the rest of zhap, don, luh wd already eat up much of the reserve. so, taking odessa etc. is far more difficult than it may seem. kharkiv might be feasible.
all the “game-changers” getting demolished by 4kg’s of suicide drones. love it.
lancet and similars the master of the battlefield, if asap expanded massive in production and use, even better, cheaper and more effective than artillery, own tanks and airforce. but i’m still of the opinion to double the warhead, then there will be nothing left to save for repairs or spare parts
ukraine is losing the air war and deep strike war because there is no indication ukraine has ever destroyed any of the main russian air defense systems whereas there is a flood of evidence of all the western and us systems failing and being destroyed. nato not only can’t protect ukraine, it can’t protect itself and should be trying to modernize to avoid its own surrender to russia and china
please i need the name of the song on the first tiktok vid on this page. shazam can not find it. thank you to anyone who can help.
the war must continue to line zelensky’s pockets, cover chaos joe’s crimes, and bribe congress. everyone wins!!! those that matter, that is.
