Russia had a mere 9 battalion in the Kiev area in 2022.
Their strategic aim was to capture the government and airfield. It worked in CheChec-land, Romania, and Afghanistan but failed in Ukraine.
Zeepers misunderstanding of military objectives always leeds to their stupid memes.

Ukraine is bragging about being able to destroy 70-year-old trucks

Driven by 18-year-old Russian conscripts.

Rest in Peace!

The Russians have shipped all the gear they captured in Ukraine back to their defense plants where they are being stripped, analyzed and reverse engineered. By sending current front line gear to Ukraine we help Russia leapfrog 2 or more generations of weapons. Word is they’re really impressed by the Bradley Fighting Vehicle. Their next BMP will look just it.

Tell Putin to get with the program and accept President Trump’s Easter ceasefire.

That is a fact.

The oh so brave Ukies threw down and ran leaving OUR, military equipment to be picked up and analyzed by the Russians.

They now have the aiming capabilities from our Abrams tanks. They will adapt them to their armored equipment.
There is a reason tanks the Russians built are smaller and lighter. Its called soft ground.

I love your laugh a day posts. I thought your screaming headlines about the Russian egg catastrophe was your best material. Didn’t Putin die a couple of times from tainted eggs last year.

Russia is saving its best mechanized divisions for the defense of Moscow when Z gets there. That’s where their best trucks are, their ‘41 Studebakers.

Are they using T-34’s, T-60’s, or T-72’s yet?


Yes T-60’s, or T-72’s for over a year now, except there are not enough T-34s. But they are bring in horse-drawn howitzers of the same vintage; the problem with horses are the troops are so low on food that the horses get eaten before the guns get towed.

Love that. That little Zelensky jerk goes around running his yap about President Trump and Sec. Bessent but his country wouldn’t even exist if it weren’t for other people’s money.

He’s nothing.

As if Putin or the Russian military cares. They overwhelm with numbers regardless of the casualties. If a bunch of troops and trucks get blowed up, send in some more.

In war you send your soldiers and God sorts them out.
In the last 24 hours, Russia took Olesna,
Chassiva, Nellipovka, Tourist, Valentinoka, Teresa, and break throughs in 4 other locations.
This week has been a tough one for Ukraine.
Almost all Russian assaults on villages are preceeded by the Toss Flamethrower Rocket system.
