Palpable desperation in the West
=====================================
NATO and ukronazi legistics stretched paper thin, knockout blows being prepared for them...
The next stage will be after the ground freezes.
They could only do minimum military advances at this time.
Unless they intend to try with foot soldiers only and on viable roads.
Might want to get into prime defensive positions now and dig in.
Since you got all the numbers, how many Russian troops have been killed so far?
“7 strategic bombers”
7? And just what the hell they intend on doing with a whole 7?
They should have 170. And when they jump off they should fly them round the clock.
This is the worst run war I have ever seen.

Ukraine’s defence forces [collective name for all Ukrainian military formations involved in the ongoing combat in this country - ed.] shot down one Russian Ka-52 helicopter, a Su-25 fighter jet and eight UAVs over the course of Sunday, 2 October.
Source: General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on Facebook, information as of 06:00 on 3 October
Quote: “During the day, Ukraine’s defence forces repelled enemy attacks in the vicinity of Zaitseve, Bakhmutske, Bakhmut, Odradivka, Vyimka, Spirne, Nevelske and Pervomaiske.
The [Ukrainian] Air Force carried out seven airstrikes, hitting a command post, five concentrations of [Russian] weapons and military equipment, and an anti-aircraft missile system.
In addition, [Ukrainian] air defence forces shot down one [Russian] Ka-52 helicopter, one Su-25 attack jet and eight UAVs.
[Ukraine’s] Rocket Forces and Artillery struck two command posts and 14 areas where Russian military personnel, weapons, and equipment were concentrated, as well as 3 ammunition storage points and 8 other crucial enemy targets.”
Details: Over the course of the past 24 hours, Russian forces carried out 11 missile strikes and 10 airstrikes, as well as over 65 attacks using multiple-launch rocket systems (MLRS).
More than 35 Ukrainian cities, towns, and villages came under Russian fire, including Ridkodub, Sloviansk, Kramatorsk, Bilohorivka, Bakhmut, Netailove, Vodiane, Marinka, Vremivka, Kryvyi Rih, Zaporizhzhia, Zaliznychne and Mykolaiv.
The General Staff has also confirmed Russia’s personnel and equipment losses in Zaporizhzhia Oblast during the past several days.
In particular, one area where Russian military personnel were concentrated has been struck, as were three ammunition dumps, over 20 pieces of military equipment and weaponry, and one S-300 anti-aircraft missile system.
A total of over 250 Russian soldiers sustained injuries. Information about fatalities has yet to be confirmed.

An assertion against all available evidence. More an article of faith really, a faith that is being destroyed with every dead Russkie laid out on the road.
Putinists now take the same approach to victim blaming that the leftists used to do with 9/11, Islamic terrorism, etc., and before that the USSR.
Any time Russia and China or some totalitarian regime rapes or murders someone, it has to be the fault of the USA in some way.
These are strategic bombers (can carry both conventional and nuclear bombs.) They have used two sparingly so far only for trying to blow up Azovstal and big, important targets.
Unlike tactical bombers, penetrators, fighter-bombers, and attack aircraft, which are used in air interdiction operations to attack enemy combatants and military equipment, strategic bombers are designed to fly into enemy territory to destroy strategic targets (e.g., infrastructure, logistics, military installations, ...
Since they were just positioned two days ago (4 of one kind, 3 of another) it is hard to say if this is the whole group or whether they are still in the process of deploying. There were a lot of empty slots on the air base shown in the Israeli data.
Who is directing Putin's propaganda efforts now, Mel Brooks?
I have to wonder if something classified is being used to disrupt Russian comms, thus forcing deployed units to fall back and attempt to reestablish communication.
The alternative thing I wonder about is if the Russians are playing ropa dope like Ali vs Foreman. Letting the Ukraine forces continue to have a sense of effectiveness while expending themselves and their resources, to soften them up for a huge Russian push enabled by the mobilization.
They have around 180 to 190. Although some are as old as the hills.
I will say this. The Ukraine needs to get dug in because if the Russians start using the biggest and nastiest conventional bombs it will get real serious real fast for them.
Maybe today’s Russia just sucks at this.
And abandoning butt loads of ammo and equipment to the Ukrainians, which means Ukraine's Soviet-style artillery will be resupplied.
I am actually beginning to think this being done deliberately by the Russian military so that they can blame the whole fiasco on Putin and get rid of him.
Then return to their real job of looting as much from the Russian treasury as they can.
"The Land Destroyer Report is maintained by Brian Berletic also known under a previously anonymous pen name Tony Cartalucci. I am an independent American geopolitical analyst based in Thailand."
"Last year, Facebook removed the Land Destroyer, the New Atlas, and the New Eastern Outlook pages for engaging in “coordinated inauthentic behaviour.”
The first two pages said they are Bangkok-based, while the latter listed an address in Moscow. They appeared to be under the same network of self-styled news outlets."
Why do your sources always end up having some murky ties to Russia?
You ned many, many aircraft flying many, many sorties to do that with conventional bombs. Far more than Russia can bring to bear given the constraints of airbases within range when they fly low with a full load to avoid Ukrainian air defense. And then they're still vulnerable to MANPADs.
/\ Thread winner!
Its unfortunate that so many freepers do not understand this war.
This was originally a “special military operation.” It was designed to pressure Ukraine into implementing the Minsk agreement. They expected it to be short and once the agreement was implemented Russia intended to remove their troops. They only brought less than 200,000. This actually created a problem for them right from the start because the Russian speakers had been expected to cooperate. They would have liked to; but they knew that once Russia left the SBU would track them down and kill them. So they saved their joy until Russia finally told them they would be there “forever.”
At the end of March victory appeared around the corner. An agreement was basically reached between Zelensky and Russia. Russia even pulled their troops out of the north.
But, “deep state” had other plans. Boris Johnson made a beeline to Zelensky and made it clear the war was to continue and that NATO would provide the money and the weapons. That was not surprising since the whole point of the war was to provoke Putin into a war which would “weaken and destabilize Russia to effect “regime change.”
That was the escalation that changed the “special military operation” to a war of NATO against Russia. Unfortunately for Putin he had not brought enough men or equipment for that.
So another escalation took place. 300,000 troop mobilization and 4 regions annexed. At the moment since Russia does not have the manpower that Ukraine does (about a 2 to 1 ratio) they are holding in a defensive position waiting for the new troops and equipment to get there. At that time they are going to eliminate the “special military operation” and go to war with NATO via proxy.
The next stage will be after the ground freezes.
yessir
perhaps we’ll have peace 0ct 6, national pierogi day...
Especially the Putinists, such as yourself, whose every narrative, every prediction, every promise has been violated systematically. I like how you also put forward this fake narrative of "the USA stopping Zelenskyy from making peace! Russia even withdrew its troops in the north!", which of course refers to the defeat and route of Russian forces around Kyiv, a defeat so big it resulted in the biggest chunk of Russian deaths in the war, close to 20,000, maybe more.
