Re: Putin's Russian expanding to be the old USSR

The North Korea–Russia border, according to the official Russian definition, consists of 17.3 kilometres (10.7 mi) of "terrestrial border" and 22.1 km (12 nautical miles) of "maritime border". It is the shortest of the international borders of Russia

Re: Putin's Russian expanding to be the old USSR

Brutal fighting almost hand to hand

Ukrainians and Russians Have Knock-Out Close Range Brawl in Woods

https://funker530.com/video/ukrainians- … -in-woods/

When the gunfight is over, to a man, each individual survivor of this gunfight will be thinking of the why, for sure. It will matter to them for years to come. In the moments you're watching above however, the only thing that matters is surviving second to second in a primal reality contest that's going to end with one side going home upright, and the other side going home in zipped up black bags.

A real gunfight is hell on Earth. Don't let anything or anyone ever try to convince you otherwise.

Re: Putin's Russian expanding to be the old USSR

Pepe Escobar's take on the West vs Russia conflict and the Jewish extortion racket that defacto control the western world, what he calls the 'FIRE Mafia' and others have called 'Uncle Shmuel'.
https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/ … six-months

I believe that Escobar overestimates the ability of Moscow to launch a global rebellion.  Russian population is declining and it's workforce are poorly skilled due the collapse of the Russian education system.  If Peter Zeihan is even half right, then both Russia and China are on their last legs.  The invasion of Ukraine is an act of desperation.  Unless Zeihan has it all wrong, it is difficult to see Russia and China, with all of the fatal internal problems that they have, being at the heart of any anti-FIRE alliance.

Re: Putin's Russian expanding to be the old USSR

Russian Troops Don't Understand Force Dispersal

https://funker530.com/video/russian-tro … dispersal/

Russian troops who are transporting a casualty become the target of a drone dropped munition. For some reason they're walking in a near perfect conga-line with less than one-arm's distance between each other.

It's recently come to my attention that Russian troops don't understand the fundamental tactic of force dispersal. This isn't something that is done only while you're actively in combat, but the Russians we've seen apparently view everything outside of an active firefight as an administrative movement. Unfortunately for these young Russian men, who were clearly failed by their own infantry instructors, "combat intervals" is something you should be practicing the entire time you're in a combat environment, not just while you're actively engaged by the enemy.

I don't know how this basic skill was lost on Russian forces when even the most poorly trained Iraqi Police Officer seemed to have a strong understanding of it. It's actually common sense. If ten troops line up at one arm's distance from one another and walk in enfilade, they are a much better target of opportunity than those same ten troops spread out over a one hundred meter line.

While some amnesty can be handed to the Russians at the front of this column who are carrying a wounded Soldier on a litter, the rest of the movement has no excuse. Even if they're carrying heavy crew served weapons, basic force dispersal should still apply.

This is a level of incompetence we haven't seen in combat footage since the earliest days of the Syrian Civil War.

Re: Putin's Russian expanding to be the old USSR

Well, the gas pipeline has been finally shut off. With the counter offensive is in full swing to recapture land once held by the Ukrainians.
Ukraine’s military intel leaks Russian soldiers discussing absurdity of orders on frontline. The Pentagon has claimed that Ukraine has more operational tanks on the frontline than Russia in yet another sign that Vladimir Putin's invasion is not going to plan.

'The footage was uploaded by pro Ukrainian sources claiming the incident recently happened in Crimea, however, the dead grass and lack of green foliage on the trees suggest this incident may have happened months ago in late winter or early spring.'

Maybe foolish to make mistakes so close to the ground, turning into another Aircraft's slipstream region behind a moving object in which a wake of fluid typically air or water is moving at velocities comparable to that of the moving object?

'No one backs out and no one retreats. No one turns themselves in. When you will be undergoing training, they will tell you about the two grenades you'll have to have if you turn captive. The second sin is drugs and alcohol. During all the time you are with us, and for six months you will be with us in the combat zone. And the third is marauding, including any sexual contacts with local women, flora, fauna, men, anything.'

A Wagner PMC mercenary talks trash and sucker punches a Russian Rosgvardia (national guard) service member and promptly receives a beatdown with clubs and rifle stocks in return.

The incident reportedly occurred on Russian soil in a hotel lobby in Voronezh. While we don't have the exact details, we can probably assume that the merc was hammered drunk on vodka and calling the national guardsmen out for playing soldier dress party but not actually fighting the war in Ukraine.

'Russian T-72 Saved by Explosive Reactive Armor'
https://funker530.com/video/russian-t-7 … ive-armor/

Russian troops recording a T-72 in action near Lisichansk capture the moment an anti-tank guided missile scores a direct hit on the armor. Fortunately for the Russians inside of the vehicle, the ERA kit worked.

Normally when you see a piece of Russian armor hit by an anti-tank guided missile system, you also see the turret enter the turret toss challenge. Fortunately for the Russian troops inside of this specific T-72, their explosive reactive armor kit, also known as an ERA kit, was functioning as intended.

If you're unfamiliar with explosive reactive armor, you've seen it and you just don't know it. Most modern tanks are outfitted with an ERA-kit that is attached to the tank's armor. The kit is designed to explode when an incoming threat is detected, this forces a small metal plate outwards that impacts with the incoming projectile, detonating it before it can reach the vehicle it is protecting.

You don't often see footage like this. This tank crew is lucky.

Vid of pro-Russian Chechens in Ukraine

I'm still absolutely disgusted and will forever be disgusted that people are using islamics as 'Mercenaries' in this war.

A more accurate shot or stronger explosion should do the job next time, Blastwave shockwave overpressure strong enough to liquefy human organs would exterminate all these invader mohammedans.

All of them flinched but the old fat one. The old fat jihad hears almost nothing, the old one that prays to the pedophile terrorist prophet moohammad might actually be deaf.
