I can understand if it wasn't the most suitable area to build fortifications whether it be because of terrain, logistical issues, or something else. But I don't understand why it wouldn't have been at least mined or something.

Mines are a terrible, terrible thing. Even more modern "limited time active" ones can still leave hundreds or thousands of explosive devices just waiting around to kill DECADES later. It's a hard call to mine your own territory, particularly in populated areas.

It is a hard call, but the way I see it, it's not either or. It's not like your opponent isn't laying millions of mines in your territory.

I wonder how long Russia will keep this all out war intensity at. The number of personnel and equipment losses daily is staggering. Considering how they attacked throughout winter and spring I can't see them slowing down for the summer.

Hopefully the West keeps piling the weapons into Ukraine and make the bastards suffer. So good seeing Russian armour getting destroyed by artillery again and not just drones.

The EU Council approved the transfer of proceeds from taxable excess profits of frozen Russian assets to Ukraine.
Annual revenues are expected to amount to approximately €2.5-3 billion. 90% of the expected revenues will be used for military purposes to support the defence of Ukraine," the report says.
A smaller share, 10%, will go to the recovery and reconstruction of Ukraine.

And then Russians wonder why so many countries want to join NATO.

Tankies always say it's a NATO provocation that has caused this (it's BS of course).

NATO stopped growing for a long while in 1955 until 1982, then we saw all the fuckery Russia was up to in the 90s where, surprise surprise, countries wanted an allegiance for protection from 1999.
Add the 2nd Chechen War and Georgia from 1999 to 2009 and boom, a bunch more join NATO in 2004 (7 countries)/2009 (2 Countries), lets skip a bit Montenegro (lol Serbia/Russia links) and N. Macedonia (Oh hey Serbia main cause again hmmm wonder why).

Theeeeeeeen.... 2014 and 2022 in Ukraine.
What happens? Finland and Sweden join!

It's like they don't know why it's happening.
Or that like CSTO, they have a choice, also the same choices of 3 leaving in the span of 12 years)

Putin is the best NATO salesman on the global market

If one of Russia's strategic goals was to prevent NATO from gaining a border with thier country(one of thier main justifications for starting the war), they have utterly failed. Decades of neutrality from Sweden and Finland were completely undone after the Ukraine invasion.

Sweden plans $7 bln military support frame for Ukraine in 2024-2026

STOCKHOLM, May 22 (Reuters) - The Swedish government has agreed with its support party on a framework for additional military support to Ukraine totalling 75 billion crowns ($7.01 billion) over three years, it said on Wednesday.
"To strengthen the Swedish support to Ukraine, and increase the long-term perspective, the government and the Sweden Democrats have agreed to introduce a framework for the military support to Ukraine for the years 2024–2026," it said in a statement.
The 75 billion crowns will be equally divided over the three years. Including the proposed addition, Sweden's total planned military and other support to Ukraine will amount to over 100 billion crowns, it said.
It said military support under the new framework could include donations of defence equipment, financial contributions and financial support for the procurement of defence gear.
"The framework may burden the public finances for several years and even after 2026," it said.

($1 = 10.6914 Swedish crowns)

Fresh from the presses. Night kill from the mad dash yesternight.

...wait for it...

Two 80s style bank cameras slapped on top. Guess not having Thales or others supplying you really hurts. I mean, this is like if they slapped tractor wheels on a F-22

I'm just waiting for someone to confirm in a close up those cameras IR also need to have next to it a cheap chinese Aliexpress garden IR lamp just so they can see more than 5m in front. All while looking from any of our optics like a lighthouse from KM away

Meanwhile, all our equipment are equipped with top notch optics and state of the art IR NV that can see a guy breathing from KM.

As long as the turret can still swivel and the ammo is stored in the carousel underneath, a drone with a shaped charge slipping through the swivel armor gap will almost always result in a turret toss. So, I propose that Russia starts building tanks with fixed guns instead and eliminate that gap. Problem solved!

It's kind of crazy to think about but this is the most filmed and publicized war in history thanks to footage captured from drones and cellphones.

Glad someone said this. The people being sent to the meat grinder don't want to be there.

How feasible is it to launch/target/etc missles/bombs stationed in ukraine but remotely controlled from…..elsewhere?

Just wondering like…. Could countries not put boots on the ground in Ukraine, lend Ukraine weapons, and then do that targeting and shooting from another country? All under the guise that its ukraine fighting and manning it all?

You don't think the US/UK have boots on the ground in Ukraine? Spec Ops from both countries have no doubt been there from the start same with Intelligence officers, what we need is visible boots on the ground from NATO, positioned all along the Northern and Eastern borders of Belarus / Cunt Russia as peace keepers and a deterrence force, free up the Ukrainians to concentrate on the southern front without having to worry about other fronts opening up, Russia wouldn't dare strike em lest he bring NATO fully into the war

I'm definitely in agreement that the faster Russian troop numbers are cleared out, the better. Using bullets, if necessary. Better for cluster bombs to wipe a platoon than for a single bullet to strike a Ukrainian. But I won't celebrate the end of their sad lives, I don't envy a population groomed and manipulated by a greater evil for years and then told to shoot someone else at gunpoint. Also knowing full well if you do anything to fuck with the government, your family might get in trouble as well. We should celebrate tactical advances in the war but not take extra pleasure when it happens to come in the form of excessive human death and suffering.
