Walls rattled and pieces of plaster fell from the ceiling of a basement converted by Ukrainian troops into a forward outpost. Russian shells hit again and again the crumpled building above. Images on a surveillance monitor, linked to a camera outside in the deserted village, showed plumes of black smoke rising all around the compound.
“The Russians are very angry today because yesterday we killed two of their tanks,” said Marian, a platoon leader in the volunteer Carpathian Sich battalion deployed on the front line near the Russian-held Ukrainian city of Izyum. Like most military personnel, he is only allowed to provide his first name. “Every soldier here, ask anyone, their biggest dream is to destroy a Muscovite tank,” he said.
This time, soldiers in the village said, they destroyed the Russian tanks by using a re-engineered commercial drone to drop mortar shells on them. The technique is emblematic of the inventive improvisation used by Ukrainian forces in the now three-monthlong war as they face off against Russian units that are usually larger and better armed.

Propaganda would not be necessary if it were true.
Just one set up. Another set up is UA troops on buggies with AT weapon mounted - most of that area (Izyum) is open with Orc troops disbursed to various locations. The hunt from the tree lines, while Orc Special Forces hunt them and call in arty strikes.

It is - just another way to hunt Orcs who are widely disbursed in that area - the lines are fluid and not static like the Southern front. They are hunted in turn by Orc Special forces and arty.
That’s what winning looks like?
“Propaganda would not be necessary if it were true.”
Its not propaganda if it is true.
The Democrats must have been doing some really awful things in Ukraine.
“The Democrats must have been doing some really awful things in Ukraine.”
The RuZZians are doing some really awful things in Ukraine.
I think it’s Popasna.
War, unh! What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing.
Say it again.
Okay, if that's true, then you don't need American $$ or baby formula or weapons.
They need American weapons to KEEP kicking RuZZian butts.
Yep.
I don’t like Putin.
I don’t like Zelensky.
I think the US has no interest in this fight.
Maybe you can explain why we are involved in this war?

I thought they already figured out how to go overland...
To cover up the democrat party's money laundering scheme.
“Maybe you can explain why we are involved in this war?”
Because back in December 2021 the Russians sent NATO a list of demands that were properly received as an ultimatum. One of the articles required NATO to withdraw from all of the former Soviet slave states with the unstated assumption that Russia would then be free to dominate those countries again.
Then when they started their latest phase of the 2014 war of conquest they also managed to telegraph their intentions to invade and occupy Moldova. Something I noted early on and something the Russians more or less acknowledged this past month or so.
The Russians want to conquer an empire. They have renewed the Cold War and unless we want to invest untold wealth in containing the new Soviet Union then it is far cheaper to defeat them in Ukraine than it is to fight them when they get around to invading Poland, Romania, Latvia, Estonia, or etc.
Propaganda is information to persuade to a POV. Isn’t always false.
