While Spiderweb played out on Telegram and television, Russian forces continued to advance – slowly, methodically, and without spectacle. Around Chasiv Yar, in the ruins of Avdiivka, and along the land bridge to Crimea, Moscow is doing the work that wins wars. It’s pushing lines. It’s holding ground. It’s breaking down Ukrainian defenses by weight of numbers, firepower, and time. That kind of warfare doesn’t trend on social media, but it changes maps.

Hmmm. I actually explained that. The world was impressed by dim-witted agitprop.
And in order to talk about incompetence there has to be an example of competence.
Your problem is in a fact that the discussed issues are wat above your league.
I mentioned ignorance for a reason. Review a NATO’s doctrinal definition of air superiority. According to it the Russian situation over Ukraine is called air supremacy.
Your understanding of air superiority as bombing places like Afghanistan in parade formations without opposition is something else.
“”””The Russian Bot Farm that posts under the name Norse Viking has no thoughts not approved of by the FSB.””””
A clue to how Russia bot farms are reacting to these latest world image setbacks this week is how hard at work the Russian officer is with his postings these last two days, dozens and dozens of meaningless tripe all focused on dampening the effect of these latest blows.
Would you defend yourself by answering thebqestions in post #74?
LOL, you are especially shallow and silly today, but your posting numbers are sure way up related to the events of the last two days.
Silly is a strong word coming from a guy pretending to be a military professional but having no clue on the subject.
LOL, you are in rare form today, just burning up time, posting meaningless nonsense, but building up a large posting number which I guess serves some purpose for the people you serve by working this American forum.
Sometimes NorseViking's posts read as if they could well come from a retired Mayór, and one who speaks excellent English, too. Sometimes NorseViking's posts are machine translated drivel, that give the impression the writer is barely literate in Russian, and unacquainted with information previously posted by NorseViking.
I’ve noticed that as well, it is a box of chocolates with him, one day this guy another day something sort of different, it could even be mental, he did retire at an early age, he retired from military service at age 38 which seems early for a field grade officer.
Geez, did ya’ll swallow moron pills?
Nobody claimed the attack was going to ‘win the war’.
Enough posts probably gets them an extra serving of pelmeny in the cafeteria. Not enough posts, or posting the wrong answer to a question that any real poster would be happy to answer probably gets you sent off to some assault squad in Ukraine.
And then you get to die like 100s of thousands of other Russian soldiers so your surviving colleagues in St. Petersburg can claim Russia captured another third of a square mile with some sheds and a cow in it.
I believe the word you are looking for is ‘quagmire’ !
The Ukraine war v the Afghan war for the Russians:
“During the Soviet-Afghan War, approximately 15,000 Soviet soldiers were killed and around 35,000 were wounded. The conflict lasted from December 1979 to February 1989, resulting in significant casualties and losses for the Soviet military.”
“As of early June 2025, Russian military losses in Ukraine are estimated to be around 106,745 soldiers killed, with some estimates suggesting the true number could be as high as 237,211. The year 2024 was particularly deadly, with at least 45,287 Russian soldiers reported killed.”
The Russians lost more soldiers taking Bahkmut than the Soviets did during the entire Soviet-Afghan War.
It was expected that a militarily incompetent fraud falsely pretending to be a military professional and combat veteran is going to resort to personal attacks once out of arguments since his actual knowledge is limited to popular propaganda.
Wild stuff, the last couple of days has truly rattled you, whichever version of bot you happen to be at this moment.
What can restore your collapsed reputation more than claiming that the interlocutor is a bot? It is okay when you are below your pay grade.
I’ll try again, though. Do you really believe that the attrition model of warfare is contrary to “training or modernization?” Do you really believe that the attrition model is about taking and absorbing high losses?
LOL, It seems these last two days has truly broken you, I’ve never seen you so shaken and frazzled.
Okay, ansel, now I know what you are. Limit yourself to things you have a clue about. Warfare is not one of them.
These last two days shook you up bad, I wonder if you will ever recover that less childish facade of the retired Russian major, you sure are an emotional wreck today.
Only if it leads to Russia making a mistake similar to what Japan did.
