    1. 80 or 85 days , not sure exactly.
    Significant? You know numbers?
    2. No body knows. Maybe Russian minister of defense.
    I'm in bed with my wife.
    Not sure about you. But, that is your choice.
    Mr. VZ (Vladimir Zelensky) love your message.
    Nothing more I can say to a Putin apologist.

    Wonder how oligarchs get to be oligarchs?
    Funny, same happened when the USSR failed. Top crooks took over the companies. Let's see, Yugo was a renault/fiat design built in USSR. But wait! fiat design was actually brit, sold to japan and italy. Rus auto industry is basically nissan/fiat/renault/VW modified with a Ru badge. Produce about 1M autos a year.

    I have a couple of questions:

    Do you think Russia was justified in this war (early 2014, you can share your opinion about Crimea).
    A. I think no. They suppose to find another way.
    Crimea is Russian territory for now. I don't know what will happen tomorrow.

    What do you think is Russia's goal in Ukraine?
    A. Full control of the territory or part (someone should pay back 40+ billion).

    Is Russia achieving this goal?
    A. Not all.

    How do you assess Russia's losses?
    A. I don't know the numbers, they all lie.

    What will be the victory for Russia? those. when the work won't be enough to be done.
    Very good question. No body know answer.

    My filling, we just one step out to falling in a big war.
    Probably by end of this year.

    Thank you for taking the time to answer that Kustik. It was informative.

    Cheers

    May I ask a few questions too. Maybe someone will answer me.

    Why didn't Ukraine declare war?

    Why does Ukraine continue transit Russian gas and oil to the EU and continue to receive payments for this? Russia makes huge money.

    Why does Russia pay money for transit and still have business with Ukraine?

    Why Zelensky continue to have a business in Russia and pay Russian taxes? Company pay, not him personally.

    Very strange conflict.
    My answer to all questions: money, corruption maybe something else.

    Ask the Russian troops if Ukraine is at war with them.

    Ukraine does not want to completely cut off the oil and gas to Europe because it would be devastating for Europe. Ukraine does not want to alienate the countries providing it aid. Pretty simple.

    Russia needs to export oil and gas. That is the biggest economic sector in Russia. Pretty simple.

    As for Zelensky, I have not seen any credible report of this.

    Ukrainian drone dropping mortar rounds on a Russian T-72 tank




    Mortar rounds don't act that way. they all have safety set-back fuzes. If it were bypassed or modified, I wouldn't want to be the guy hooking them on the drone. Besides, when I see these videos, I don't notice a little jump as the bomb is released. A little hovering drone releasing a five or more pound weight would jump upwards a bit.

    The amount of jump would really depend on the drone size, and it would need to be fairly large regardless to carry that weight.

    That sad, the amount of current being used to remain airborne drops each time a round is released. Actually, a quick spike then dropping around 5 amps from what it was using prior.

    Not saying it proves it’s real, just that it fits and not something most would bother to alter.

    Ask the Russian troops if Ukraine is at war with them.

    A. Thay say yes. Ukrainian troops answer the same.
    Putin officially declared special military operation.
    Ukrainian government officially???

    Ukraine does not want to completely cut off the oil and gas to Europe because it would be devastating for Europe. Ukraine does not want to alienate the countries providing it aid. Pretty simple.

    A. How sweet. How good the are. Everybody makes a money.

    Russia needs to export oil and gas. That is the biggest economic sector in Russia. Pretty simple.

    A. True. Russia need money to.

    Nice trio. Russia (gas,oil and other staff), EU (money) and Ukraine between them.
    :christmas:Money rules the world.

    In your opinion, what's happen if let's say tomorrow Russia cuts everything(gas, oil everything)?

    Prime example of why air supremacy is so important. The Rus not having air cover to take out the Uke artillery is inexcusable from the top down....

    ....and good on the Uke artillery for a massively good show!

    It makes me wonder about the Russian artillery, that is, why did the Russians not have artillery in position either to support the crossing directly or for counter-battery fires?

    Whatever is left of the Russian economy collapses.


    Deservedly so, considering the nation is currently wallowing in its own feces.

    This should be interesting. These are, by the way, still crewed.
    That whole article is pretty interesting. I have enjoyed watching Purism’s great military and superior weaponry being destroyed. Sure would like to see how tough China actually is against someone they should easily beat but don’t.
