I tried to open that link and was asked to verify my age. Given all the porn and other crap on youtube, easily accesible without verification, what is it that is so bad about this that requires age verification?

someone being killed, I guess.

Yes, several.

It's a good video as it gives a breakdown of what was happening, which was quite unclear from the original Twitter video. You also get to see how close the BMP and Russian troops were to the trench.

Guys got the Vision, and balls

Is it me or are these lot now talking of defeat and ending it now on Russian TV?


An interesting comment was mentioned in it too…

When they get angry enough, the truth starts to flash out in dangerous spikes.

I'd like to give you a like, Nutty, but I don't like it. It gives me a knot in the stomach. I feel sorry for the Russian populace who have been tricked and check-mated by those who would, should have led them in a good and fruitful direction.

To give him a way out, why can't Putin just say, "OK, we've taught them the lesson that I had warned them about and promised. We've mashed the lands and cities up real good for both Ukrainians and Russian-speaking Ukrainians alike. That's enough for now; it's getting boring, we're heading home."(?)
"Oh, and if you annoy us again, we're coming back!"

I doubt that's a realistic option. Autocrats rule by strength, or the perception of it. If Russia loses in the Ukraine, Putin won't be quietly retiring to his dacha and joining the speaker's circuit.
It's victory or death for him.

Holy F**k!!! This is the most I have ever heard official Russkie TV admit things aren't going well. To even bring up the reality of the situation is amazing. Unfortunately, for Russia, this is some solid and honest analysis. How will Russkie persons react to this? Is this an official start to understanding the end?

It would be difficult to justify the 100,000 ± Russian deaths for no reason. And of course they would ignore the Ukrainian deaths.....

True. And also interesting to note that these guys have been watching and picking up on the the finer details of Western news broadcasts, not simply sucking up Russian propaganda.

Spending a lot of their budget on upgrading their missile defences around Moscow.

Russia to upgrade Moscow’s missile defenses by year’s end

The West has no reason nor desire, and never had, to attack Moscow.

(Not unless Moscow were to do something stupidly apocalyptic, i.e. end-game stupid.)

Now Ukraine might be willing to give Moscow a black eye or two, and I would not blame them one bit.

The audacious cheek of sending thousands of missiles onto the whole of Ukraine, and then complaining bitterly when even one gets fired back!

Adding another zero to that number won't materially change the outcome except for the additives to get the zero...

The least damage to Russia is to get rid of Putin, preferably in front of the ICJ, but out any window, not fussy. There is a single source for the loss of the oligarch value, damage to the economy of Russia (the real one, the one that is based on figures not provided by the Kremlin) the collapse of the concept of a Russian Federation, and the associated loss of the numbers in the Russian military, and the needless deaths. They pin it all on Putin, and they can work towards normalising their reputation.

They can start by paying for the breakages, and compensating for the deaths of Ukrainians.

That is still a good deal, they are looking down the barrel of revisiting the size they were in 862 A.D.

As Ukraine increases it's projection of fire, the land route to Crimea looks more and more untenable, and that must make the painters working on the Kerch bridge start to feel a bit vulnerable.

Sadly just tanks, no aviation content.
Ukraine's tank force shouldn't stand a chance against Russia's, but dumb mistakes keep tipping the scales (yahoo.com)

Indeed it seems they were quite happy with it:
<In fact, on January 21, the Ukrainian military said that the IRIS-T successfully downed every incoming target during Ukraine’s first operational use of the system. Even Ukrainian President Zelensky has showered praise on this German system while pitching for more IRIS-Ts.> from:

Wow!
It is getting more and more clear that they are well aware, they're f*cked, they just have no clue how to get out of it without openly admitting defeat.
Dictatorship having painted itself deeply into a corner.

here is some aviation then for you..

And Russia must abstain, that is ABSTAIN, not veto, not otherwise, they MUST NOT VOTE on any matter to which they are a party. I don't make up the rules, our gutless lords and masters did, and once upon a time, they actually followed them, now, they are obsequies to the point of co-conspirator. Will they abstain, only if the UN actually grow a pair like the lady Prime Ministers of Scandinavia and the Baltics who shame the rest of the sorry bunch.

Personally, I think the dinosaurs got a rough deal, as they left the yard, expecting intelligent life to flourish on this planet per Mr C. Darwin's treatise. Not seeing much of that in evidence.

He has been watching his Thriller video again.

Starting to prepare the Russian's for the counter attack... more like worrying the sh*t out of them LOL
