Is David Cameron father of Geoff Cameron by any chance? 🤔

On the tv news here in Sweden Russia guarantee the targets will only be those inside of the Russian territory. Where are the British bases positioned? But there might be different opinions about where the borders are ...

First video I've seen of a Bradley using its attached TOW missile.
I think it's wild that the missile is attached to the Bradley by up to 3 km of wire! The wire lets them guide the missile and it can't be blocked by jamming.

New images out of a big russian attack near Tonenke from 6th April.
About 100 lost russian vehicles were visible on the satellite imagery.

Oryx report their 3,000th visible russian tank loss.
I think the real number of lost russian tanks is probably around that.
We have about 300 challenger 2 tanks total. Russian factories make something like 250 new ones per year.

Isn't it pretty irrelevant how many tanks or planes they've lost? They will be backed up by other nations.
And if not it only gets closer to using other options.

Any chance this war will be over within the next 20 years?

Any chance this war will be over within the next 20 years? War's unpredictable mate, but I'd guess so. Russia can't keep this up unless China gets fully involved on their side. Putin's gambled on trump and the West fucking up. It's the only way dictatorship can win this one.

I think it matters how much armour and ammo you have. If Ukraine doesn't crack this year and the West keeps ramping up support then Putin's most likely fucked unless China comes in. That's why Russian agents are working to get people like Trump and the AfD more votes.

Google Earth has new imagery near Lesnoi Gorodok in russia. There's a big artillery arsenal there, pics below show how a couple of the spots have changed. One of the most-common russian artillery pieces is the D-30. Before the full-scale invasion they had over 3,000 stored in their arsenals. Fewer than 500 are left.

Amazing drone footage out over the past day or so of a Russian attempt to cross the river behind the Ukrainians holding on in Luhansk Oblast. At least 73 Russian vehicles blown up or abandoned. Tweet with pics here, plus an account from who seems to be a Ukrainian engineer. Here's a taster: The pro-Russian folk are saying this is proof they're winning now they're over the river but losing 73 vehicles just to try and get behind a pretty small Ukrainian city is not the sort of thing that will win them the war. Tomorrow is the second anniversary of this big event. Interesting to see the info we had and how we all responded from p121 of this thread! Funny pic of drowned russian tanks and there's now a Wikipedia page.

One of Ukraine's kinda shitty kamikaze drones. Supposedly (not confirmed!) the one that flew 1300 km and blew up in an oil refinery.
I guess all the air defence is in Ukraine or around Putin's palaces.

10/10 grenade drop, beautiful burnout and setting fire to another russian tank. 🥰

Looks so easy to destroy them when you see it like that? How have they not been seen? The ones with the open hatches have usually been abandoned. There's videos showing crews getting out and running away in a panic if the tank gets stuck, hits a mine etc. They forget to close the hatches 😂

Russia is preparing the propaganda ground to conquer Moldova.
If the Democrats win the US election then this is gonna look like a joke as Ukraine stops Russia. If trump wins... Who knows.

How well informed I wonder are the Americans regarding the situation in Ukraine, by that I mean the general population and the difference having Trump at the top would make. If the MSM in the UK are allowing the war to slip down the schedule what's happening in the US (and other allies as well).

Russia has launched a new attack from the North into Kharkiv oblast.
Conflicting info on how big it is.
Russia says they need a "sanitary zone to protect russia" but basically they want more of Ukraine and even if they fail, it pins down Ukrainian soldiers and uses up supplies.
It's another month at least before Ukraine expects to receive major resupply from the West, and because their politicians delayed mobilisation, it's probably winter before they can hope to have enough trained troops.

It seems very far down the list of what people care about. I have a republican friend who just copies whatever the republican belief of the day is and he says if the west just cuts off aid then there will be peace and it'll all be fine. I think that's what the MAGA argument is gonna be. If trump wins then he'll be focussed on ending democracy in the US and purging disloyal people from government, but it's also pretty clear he's on Putin's side so it'll be awful for Ukraine.

Very strange place for them to attack. Penned in on both sides by rivers, lakes, hills and forests. I wouldn’t fancy being part of that Russian assault group, they’ll be in a shooting gallery (again).

The Kharkiv attack *could* pin down Ukrainian reinforcements and allow a breakthrough somewhere, but it exposes a lot of forces that could get smashed... And open up weaknesses in 2025.

Should I share stuff like this?
I try to make sure there isn't death in stuff I link, this vid cuts out before but it probably wasn't a good day for the russians in those trucks.
Russia is now packing soldiers onto anything it can find so most videos have tons of russian casualties in them. Last year they had enough transports to keep all the soldiers inside so you didn't see it as much...

Say what you will about Boris Johnson, he keeps being right about Ukraine.
We should use Russia's frozen $300 BN to buy the weapons they need. This should have started in 2022.
