Mamoulian War

Out of 90 missiles launched yesterday, 70 were shot down though. Still passed enough, to make a lot of damage to civilian infrastructure…

In other news, here is, what Wagnerites are thinking about the missile strikes. TLDR they are useless, as they do not target any military infrastructure They have finally admitted publicly, what I was saying few months ago already

The target was most likely the TPP very close to the borders, and AD was working.

We’ll se, so far the most probable outcome which is currently talked about is invocation of Article 4.

Couldn’t resist

Russian planes did already shoot their missile at Ukrainian targets from Belarus airspace though.

Poland or NATO needs to do something, because Russia already blown up ammo warehouses in Czech Republic and IIRC Bulgaria some time ago. Which is third attack against NATO country in 5-10 years… Else the khuylo will start to escalate it. Let’s hope it will be rational response, which will help Ukraine and does not start WW3…

Putin signed decree allowing foreigners to join Russian Army, today. looks like we’ll see more of this soon

We have Russian lapdogs in our parliament, and the police is still afraid to act against them. The most prominent of them, gets paid by Usmanov, and he even does try to conceal it, which is on the sanction list right from the beginning. But there is some small steps being made already, which could make the situation better in the future… also, over 1 hour long, but videos of this guy are worth every second spent on them…

Ukrainian claims, namely Arestovych that the bridge was blown, due to lucky HIMARS strike at the bridge segments which were already mined by explosives by Russia. And therefore it exploded prematurely, while a lot of Russians and their equipment were still on right bank, forced them to leave more equipment behind as planned, and retreat through Kakhovka dam, which was allegedly blow up later and according to Russian plans. Also the airfield of Chaplynka, near to Crimea, from where were conducted sorties against Ukrainian positions on right bank of Kherson, already got HIMARS treatment. Also first barracks, where were retreating Russian soldiers temporarily stationed on the left bank, were hit by precision strikes, causing two truckloads of cargo 200. https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2022/11/13/7376122/

Russians released the footage of how they blown up segments of Kakhovka Dam. Notice, that there is absolutely no visible damage to the road over the dam, despite months of HIMARS treatment of the near vicinity of the dam. Because contrary to Russian propaganda claims, all of the hits were performed to the bridges over water outlet on the left bank of Dnepr, which can be seen on the Maxar image, which I have linked few posts ago

Some Russians in charge of bigger Telegram channels are finally getting out of delusion, and are starting to ask the right questions

Starting Chapter 6 in Final Fantasy XV. Still feeling the same about it, just one small positive thing, the bland battle system (warp-strike button mashing), has became little bit more sustainable, due to catchy battle music

Alleged manual of Russian soldier for the “Great Patriotic War 2.0” in Ukraine. It is as ridiculous, as you would think. “We are fighting Russians brainwashed by Nazis supported by Israel”

You can tell what damage was done previously *sighs*… there are tons of videos and pictures of the dam… feel free to stay delusional further though and another delusion, is the two points at the end of your article… again I recommend you to check how it goes around Bakhmut, Pisky, Avdiivka, how Russian commanders are preserving their troops the simple reason, why Kherson defensive 8:1 number provided by UA MoD, might be little bit plausible, is that RU ended up in shambles and chaos after few months of daily care by Mr. HIMARS (20k+ soldiers under incompetent command is pretty target rich environment), which Russia was not able to counter at all, and they were still doing counterattacks around Snihurivka and Ternovy Pody all the time, until retreat… Also look at some numbers from the liberation of Balaklia, where due to chaos amongst the Russian soldiers and useless commanders, the presented numbers were 5:1 in favour for Ukraine as well. With much much much less HIMARS treatment… The numbers for the whole Kharkiv offensive were not released yet though (AFAIK). EDIT: just do the math. Someone made a statistics, how many HIMARS attacks have been done during that period… I do not remember exact number, but it was more than 300. Let’s split it evenly. 150 strikes against logistic infrastructure and 150 strikes against personnel HQs, with the reports from 20-300 killed personnel. But lets just use number 30, to be very conservative. That means minimum 4500 dead Russians by HIMARS alone, and 0 Ukrainian dead, due to lack of countermeasures, to destroy or even damage soldiers in use of this machinery… then look at artillery. Russia just shoots randomly and hope to hit something, there are videos on Telegram of Russian soldiers blaming their artillery support to shoot the projectiles up to few hundreds meters away from the targets, on the other hand, UA has Excaliburs, and they are using it with great success (again, you can see a lot of footage, with one hit kills of russian machinery), this speaks also in favour of better K:D ratio for Ukrainians. The only time, where the ratio is not in their favour, is their direct counter-offensive, which they dropped to absolute minimum in this region, in favour of the HIMARS pounding… all you need for this conclusion is some common sense, and some elementary school math and here you have some another backing of the common sense, for visually confirmed losses of machinery. During the counteroffensive, the ratio was 3.5:1 in favour for Ukraine *surprised pikachu face (or not)*. As you can see, the UA losses piled up a lot, just after the start of their counteroffensive in the middle of October, when they started to push more in Kherson Oblast, but they are still waaaay under the Russian losses… but yeah sure, do not let the numbers or common sense to disturb your ideology

Dugin is putting the blame for losing Kherson directly on Putin. Hopefully, he does not enjoy drinking tea in the morning

Here you have a Maxar picture of the dam from this morning, and you can easily compare the “damage” done by Ukrainians during last 6 months, and damage to it done by Russia in a single day *hint hint* RU damage to the right and UA damage to the left I have written about the ratio 8:1 as a ratio based on UA sources (mainly their MoD), not my numbers lol… aand You are considering 7 months of systematic destruction of Russian logistic and command centers, which lead to massive casualties amongst RU soldiers and destruction of RU machinery, while saving as much UA soldier lives, which in the end caused the retreat of 20k of Russian soldiers on the other bank in record time and liberation of more than 6000 sq kms, as head bumping against the wall… and you are still trying to accuse someone else of bad application of military theory

Yes. They blew up all critical infrastructure in the city. Kherson is now without power and water. And on Russian telegrams, there are VDV guys complaining, that their last order, they received was to wear civilian clothes, and chose wherever they will go. All that, after the Antonovski Bridge was blown up. on the other hand:

If you really believe, that leaving mobiks and prisoners behind, and force them to fight against their will, does not lead to much higher casualties on Russian side, especially when banging their head day by day against Bakhmut, Soledar, Bilohorivka, Avdiivka, and lately against Pavlivka as well. You might have probably given up on critical thinking as well Everywhere it is stated, that in modern warfare, when attacking enemy stronghold, attackers have losses in such situation 5:1, and Russians are doing it for months all day long, and bringing fresh meat through mobilization… Not to mention HIMARS landing on their asses around the clock… Alone around the Bakmut city, the casualties on the Wagner and co. since the beginning of the siege, are estimated between 10-20k. It is even stated, that due to the ridiculous number of dead Russian soldiers and Mercenaries left behind in the area, the underground water reservoirs are started to see high contamination by pathogens in Donetsk and Luhansk Oblasts… I am sorry to inform you, but your claims of loses 1:1 are as much in the fantasy land as you deem the 10:1 claims, are

Of course the number are the same for Ukrainians. Only in Mariupol, it is estimated, that Russia killed 20k civilians To bad the Russian army does not funnel all the effort aimed at civilians to military targets. They would be probably already back occupying Eastern Berlin

Zelenskiy announced in the interview to CNN that the losses are approximately 1:10 According to US General Milley, the WIA/KIA on RU side is 100k. and you do not need to be amazed by that number. Soviet Union/Russia has always had sayin. “Nas mnogo.” (There is many of us). Just look at waht is going on around Bakhmut in last 6 months https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2022/11/10/7375844/ Edit: Antonovsky Bridge was blown up by Russia. Looks like 20k Russians which are according to estimates still in Kherson Oblast, will be having very bad weekend trying to fulfill the evacuation orders. But I am sure that Putin has no issue to make this sacrifice.

It actually might be true. I have found this. And yes someone speaking Russian better than me (elementary school level ) would be very helpful if he could to translate for us

on a more serious note. Yes, of course they were retreating. Because, their losses caused on them by UA Army, became unsustainable. And Ukraine made everything to minimize it loses by not rushing. Their biggest loses were during the breach near Popasna and battle for Sieverodonetsk and Lysychansk. Current numbers in Kherson, based on Ukrainian MoD is 1 KIA/WIA UA against 7-8 KIA/WIA RU. So all of their retreat is just a consequence of chain of ****ups since february 24th. Here is a short summary of the situation from a Russian soldier fighting in Kherson Oboast, which became pretty famous net personality in Russia. He predicts, that if Russia will handle the operation same way as in Kherson, they will lose Crimea as well

Yeah, I have that one. Still prefer chilling while driving on automode

Have you by any chance missed out how fast they forced out Russia out of Kharkiv, while they were to busy reinforcing Kherson? And are you even aware, that Ukraine liberated already more than 50% of the land, which were occupied by Russia after 24th of February? And that was even before the announcement of goodwill gesture in Kherson… Probably not, else you would make more effort to belittle the Ukrainian successes Does this mean Ukraine will win this conflict? No. Does it means that Russian invasion is one big catastrophe, which is starting to have big political impact at home? Yes.
