How come Russia removed its Black Sea fleet from Crimea? That sure does not seem like Russia is winning to me. :laugh:
 
The moronic and filled with hate for Russians Ukrainians are finally figuring out the Americans and Europeans dont give a fuck about them. Even the Poles are done with this Western driven catastrophe.
 
Do not forget that I have been saying for about a year and a half that there is no way this ends without the Ukrainians sure that America and Europe betrayed them.

We are here.
 
The Duran today goes into some detail how Schulze, Johnson and Macron all flat out lied to the Russians and to their own people:

REPORT finds Russia, Ukraine wanted peace. US, UK, Germany pushed war
 
Now in combat operations in Ukraine, drones are used not only to attack military equipment and infantry, but are also used to attack other drones. The video shows a Russian drone hitting a Ukrainian army drone. After the impact, the Ukrainian drone fell and exploded. Models of drones and the location where the air battle took place are not reported.

 
Footage of Russian military personnel using an MT-LB armored personnel carrier as a kamikaze vehicle in the Avdeevsky direction near the city of Donetsk. The MT-LB military transporter was loaded with a large amount of explosives and sent towards the positions of the Ukrainian army. The armored personnel carrier did not reach the Ukrainian positions and exploded on an anti-tank mine. This is already the third case of military equipment being used as kamikaze vehicles in Ukraine.

 
Russian aviation is quite actively using Ka-52 helicopters in Ukraine, armed with Vikhr guided missiles. Due to the long range of destruction of targets with Whirlwind missiles, which reaches 10 kilometers, it is quite difficult to obtain high-quality video where a destroyed target is visible. However, from time to time, videos showing the target being hit appear. One of them, footage of a Russian Ka-52 helicopter, guided by a Vikhr missile, hitting a rare Ukrainian modification of the MT-LB military transporter. The video was filmed in the Novomikhailovka area.

The Russians continue to press.

If the ground freezes this year they will take Odessa et al.
 
NATO has lost, and is so dishonorable that they refuse to admit that they lost.

The West must be removed from global power for so many reasons says China Bloc.

Russia tried to take Odessa, and failed miserably. Then Ukraine advanced and took Kherson back from Russia, along with everything else on the West Bank of the Dnipro River.

Where the war is now, Ukraine has successfully crossed the Dnipro River, and captured a beachhead on the East side. They have found that crossing the Russian defenses is harder than crossing the river, and have gotten bogged down. It is looking like maybe next year type situation.

There is no chance Russia will capture Odessa in the next year or two. After that, anything is possible. Maybe if trump is elected, and cuts off aid, Russia will be able to make advances.

Russians continue to defend, which is the opposite of pressing. The ground freezes every year in Ukraine, so there is no "if". That being said, neither side is prepared for a major offensive on frozen ground. Major offensives are about to come to an end, until after the Winter and the early Spring(too wet).
 
“The Kalashnikov Concern fulfilled ahead of schedule its 2023 obligations under the state contract with the Russian Ministry of Defense for the supply of Vikhr-1 guided missiles.​ The missiles were created ahead of schedule and in full, which indicates an increase in missile production. Before being transferred to the customer, the missiles underwent control flight tests.
The use of the Vikhr-M ATGM in the link to the video in the comments to the video. The Vikhr anti-tank missile system was developed in the Soviet Union as an analogue of the American AGM-114 Hellfire ATGM. The serial modified version of the 9K121 Vikhr-M began to be delivered to the troops in 2015, the Vikhr-1 missile is equipped with a tandem charge that penetrates armor up to 1200 mm, at a range of up to 10400 meters. The main purpose of the Vikhr-M missile is to destroy armored vehicles, including those with active armor, as well as air targets at speeds of up to 800 km/h. Missile launch altitude up to 4000 meters. The rocket's flight speed is more than 600 meters per second. Initially, the Vikhr-1 ATGM was intended exclusively for Su-25 aircraft and Ka-52 helicopters, but now work is underway to adapt the Vikhr-M complex to the Mi-28NE and Mi-35P helicopters, as well as the Orion-E UAV. .

 
The Russian Air Force received the next batch of Su-35S multirole fighters; the transfer of equipment took place at the factory airfield of the Yu.A. Aviation Plant. Gagarin. It is not specified how many aircraft are in the batch; all equipment was transferred as part of the state defense order. Now the aircraft plant has reached a high rate of production and operates in 3 shifts. It is noted that this batch completes deliveries of Su-35S fighters under this year’s program, but by the end of 2023 the military will receive another batch of fifth-generation Su-57 fighters. The Su-35S is one of the main fighters in service with the Russian army and today clearly confirms its high performance in real combat conditions. The Su-35 is armed with a 30mm cannon and has 12 hardpoints for bombs and missiles. The aircraft's combat load is 8 tons. The fighter can reach speeds of up to 2.5 thousand km/h, and the aircraft’s flight range reaches 3,400 kilometers.

 
Footage of Russian Su-30SM and Su-24MR aircraft patrolling the waters of the Crimean coast and attacking a detected naval drone of the Ukrainian army has been published. The video shows a Su-30SM aircraft firing a 30mm GSh 30-1 aircraft cannon at a Ukrainian army naval drone. The firing range of the GSh 30-1 aircraft cannon against surface and ground targets is up to 1800 meters, the rate of fire is 1500 rounds per minute. The model of the Ukrainian maritime drone and the date of the attack are unknown.

 
The first Russian missile drone Termit.

Serial production of Termit helicopter-type drones has begun in Russia. The drone was developed by the Strela production enterprise, which is part of the Kronstadt company, and was first shown in 2021. The unmanned attack mini-combat helicopter MDP-01 “Termite” is an analogue of the civilian version of the SmartHELI-350 drones. The new drone is equipped with a surveillance and sighting station, a weapons control system and three S-8L missiles from the Kalashnikov concern with an 80 mm laser homing head. In Russia, this is the first unmanned helicopter with missile weapons. The S-8L missile is based on the S-8 unguided aircraft missiles used by Russian aviation. Unlike the S-8 missiles, the S-8L missile has a semi-active homing head with a high-explosive fragmentation warhead, the missile's range is up to 6 kilometers. It is assumed that the drone operator, having detected the target, sets it to be tracked by a laser beam, after which the drone acts autonomously, with the help of artificial intelligence, choosing the time of the missile launch based on the calculation of altitude and range. The Termit drone can reach speeds of up to 150 km/h, its range of use is up to 300 kilometers, the flight time is up to 6 hours, at an altitude of up to 3000 meters.

 
Footage of the battle and the first defeat of the Ukrainian Leopard 1A5 tank made in Germany have been published. The battle episode was filmed in the Kupyansk area; the tank was in service with the 44th mechanized brigade of the Ukrainian Army. The tank was not directly hit; the tank was probably damaged by a nearby artillery shell explosion, after which the crew abandoned it. The German Leopard 1A5 tank is a modernization of the first Leopard-1 tank, created in 1987. The tank is very vulnerable as it has thin armor. The thickness of the frontal armor of the tank is up to 70 mm, the turret armor is up to 65 mm, the sides of the tank have armor 35-45 mm thick. Data on the first versions of Leopard 1 tanks.

The radar transmitter of the “friend or foe” system was created for Russian drones. The development of miniature drones has created many problems for air defense, one of which is that it is impossible for an air defense operator to distinguish his drone from enemy drones. To identify a target, the air defense operator is forced to communicate with other units and find out the operational situation. This problem can be corrected by the Russian radar identification system "friend or foe" developed for drones. The “friend or foe” radar transmitter was created by the Pulsar research and production enterprise and weighs only 150 grams. The device operates on the “friend or foe” principle and automatically marks friendly drones at an altitude of up to 5 km and a distance of up to 100 km from the radio interrogator. The radar transmitter consumes only 100 mV and is compatible with stations of the combined arms state system “Password”. Radar identification stations are used to identify targets on a “friend or foe” basis.

 
Despite the fact that the Russian Strela-10 air defense system was developed in 1974, and in 2014 it was upgraded to the Strela-10MN version of the air defense system, as it turned out, this air defense system can operate quite effectively against small-sized targets. The air defense system can operate covertly and has 8 9M333 missiles; the complex is capable of hitting targets at a range of up to 5000 meters and an altitude of 3500 meters. The 9K35M air defense missile system is valued for its simplicity and reliability. The story of a Russian operator about the effectiveness of the Strela-10MN air defense system in Ukraine.
