Ukraine War Thread Part 2
I agree with the general priciple voiced by Spunkey Monkey, but the suggestion of A10s has often been raised and shot down (sorry 
) Where would you use them ? Neither side dares to overfly the front-lines, and the A10 certainly does not have any special properties that allow it to disregard AA missile defences

Parts of Moscow Oblast without power as explosions hit energy plants.
Several areas in Moscow Oblast including the entire town of Lytkarino are without power after explosions were reported near electricity substations early on Nov. 23 , local Russian media report.
With most of Russia's air defense units busy being destroyed in Ukraine, targeting the Russian military production chain around Moscow has never been easier (for those interested in such a thing).

Yes...and ...? I see no similarity between that and the A10's CAS role: do you ? Additionally, addressing your specific Su-25 point, I have no idea how effective these rocket lobs are. The "aiming" is rudimentary ( especially when "lobbing" ) so I have no idea what kind of targets they are hoping to hit

Whist staring through the bottoms of his Vodka bottles, Medvedev has a cunning plan..
The head of Ukrobanderostan has said that Russia is getting ready to launch an operation called “Maidan 3” in Kiev, aimed at overthrowing him.
Hell… Upset the cart. Exposed the plan.
Everything was otherwise ready: the right people, tons of weapons, and Russian prankers calling the fleet-footed grandma Nuland to cook pies for maidaners.
Will have to adjust the groundwork now.
P.S. Remarkably, the very name of Russians’ cunning scheme, “Maidan 3”, shows that Kiev has admitted that the first two maidans were nothing but coups.
And all the talks about the legitimate will of the people is nothing but bull****.

So you take a dump next to a knocked out APC and get killed by a drone, chances are he probably got the contents of his bowels back as well.

If I were a Ukrainian - given what the Russian bastard hordes have inflicted on both civiklian and military Ukraians - then every dead Russki would be worth a celebratory dance/lyric ( if I had the time and energy )

Will be occasionally posting some exclusive stuff I get from soldiers. This is from Novomikhaylivka, Donetsk Oblast.
Comment: "More and more Russians are using portable EW. They've installed the EW on their own destroyed vehicles. On the MT-LB, they installed it during the assault".

I am pretty sure that China sees this as an opportunity.

Unfortunately, China will keep Russia afloat. China may not have all the expertise and technologies Russia used to receive from the West but she is certainly not only a manufacturing power house. Semi cons, mobile phones, consumer goods, cars etc. China got most of it. Trade between Russia and China skyrocketed since the beginning of the war.

If he was in his own country and defending against a criminal invader, I would have far greater sympathy.

Russia: Major electrical substation "Chagino" is on fire in southern Moscow. A different substation in Moscow was knocked out yesterday.

Russian "military correspondent" Maxim Fadeyev admits that there is no longer a pro-Russian population left in the Ukrainian-controlled territory.
After everything that Russia has done, even those who used to treat Russia well, now hate it and help the Ukrainian army.

Russian parliament passes budget with record military expenditures
The Russian parliament passed a budget for 2024 that increases military spending to more than one-third of total government expenditures, Russian independent media outlet Meduza reportedon Nov. 23.
If combined with funding for domestic law enforcement agencies, the figure rises to 40%.
According to Meduza, state expenditures on Russia's military sector will exceed social payments for the first time.
The budget has passed through all but one of the necessary steps in order to become a law, with only the signature of Russian dictator Vladimir Putin remaining to bring the budget into force.
The budget had gone through 900 amendments since its first draft, Meduza wrote, with an additional 725 billion rubles ($8.2 billion) being allocated to the country's military sector in the second draft.
In addition, Russia has earmarked a significant amount of money, at least $2.6 billion, to be spent on the territories of Ukraine that it illegally annexed in September 2022.
In order to fund the increased military expenditures, Russia will need increased revenue. Funding the first draft of the budget, which was smaller than the final version passed, would reportedly require a 22% increase in government revenue from 2023.
The Russian government is considering raising taxes to account for the discrepancy, sources told Meduza.

Unusual activity on "X" at the moment.
It seems to go through propoganda cycles. For the past month it's been almost 100% successful Ukranian strikes, but only in the last few days, Russian strikes are starting to appear. Any reason for the change I wonder?
