Orthanc6 posted:There is a very long road ahead, barring unforeseeable changes. Ukraine's made surprising progress but if we look at what they've taken back this fall compared to what's left to take back, even from the February borders, yeah that's a lot of ground to reclaim. For this war to end quickly there would have to be some sort seismic shift in the political landscape in Russia. Putin will be happy enough to throw bodies into the meat grinder as long as it keeps his position safe.

https://twitter.com/saintjavelin/status/1586169902196756480 Wars of the future will be fought with shitposting. Not really DnD post material but the propaganda war has taken on a very sophomoric tone. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

Didn't the Russian army move a lot of its equipment a few months ago in Kherson before the September UA counter-offensive started?

mllaneza posted:Russia will have numbers, but Ukraine also has reserves to call up. They're also in better shape than Russia to train them effectively, both at home and with help of NATO countries. Add in the double morale boosts of defending their homes and the fact that they're winning right now, and Ukraine will have a large number of well-trained and highly motivated troops coming on line outfitted with quality gear. Russia has none of these advantages and is going to be in real trouble on the front line when the snow starts. To add to this, Russia trains its troops by sending in the new recruits to the unit they will be deployed to, not some specialised base to learn their skills. This is a problem when your BTG is fighting a war and they have lost a lot of their trained soldiers already.

Nenonen posted:They are already in Moldovan territory, apparently he means connecting with Transnistria & annexing it all by attacking through... Kherson, Mykolaiv and Odesa. It was one of the original war goals but I'm not sure how he comes to the conclusion that this is likely to ever occur now. Use Russian troops stationed in Transnistria to attack Ukraine through to Odesa? A dumb move in a war full of dumb moves and a dumb war itself.

New Perun video is out. Ammunition shortages in Ukraine - production, supply, & are Russia or the West running dry? Another good video, the tldw; ammo supply is more of a political question of supplying Ukraine than actual production.

Also something interesting popped up that was lost with all the AFV news.quote:The package will for the first time include radar-guided Sea Sparrow anti-air missiles, which can be launched from the sea or on land to intercept aircraft or cruise missiles. In a bit of battlefield innovation, the Ukrainian military has managed to tweak its existing Soviet-era BUK launchers to fire the Sea Sparrow, two people familiar with the matter said. Up to this point, Taiwan has been the only country to operate the ground-launched version of the missiles, while the U.S. and multiple allied navies use the ship-mounted version.

mlmp08 posted:But more that Germany is considered a reliable supplier, but a supplier who requires permission before you proliferate their weapons to countries or organizations they never agreed to arm. So if you are buying for your defense, fine. If you are buying and want to sell or transfer the weapons later, there are easier suppliers than buying from Germany.

Sir John Falstaff posted:It's in there (auto-translated)--it's paywalled, though: I call BS. Allowing Russia to threaten to take territory and giving it away in a "negotiated" settlement to avoid a war would be a disaster for the US and everyone else in Eastern Europe. I don't think much of Biden but he was on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee for a bazillion years even he can see the problem of buckling under pressure to allow Russia/Putin to annex more land from Ukraine. It could be true but I personally think this makes no sense.

Electric Wrigglies posted:Himars has been really effective but all the chat about it seems to ignore the fact that it is a glorified Smerch with a precision kit on it on the back of a Studbaker. While US doing the targeting is a big factor, surely Russia can rectify the huge mistake in war planning in not developing a cheap precision kit for 300 mm rockets that they already have in large numbers?

Moon Slayer posted:Speaking of materiel, the US isn't the Arsenal of Democracy it used to be. I am not too sure the example of Stinger and Javelin missiles with artillery shells would be the best example. Stinger missiles are a legacy platform for the US and production was at a trickle since they are so old and demand was limited. Javelin missiles and 155mm shells are different though. The US in a time of major conflict would use these weapons but they were not heavily produced since they are not really part of the US' military doctrine of air dominance (artillery). Or armoured vehicles in the case of infantry anti-tank weapons and MANPADS.
