The Ukraine War thread



Interesting video from a guy who plots the number of equipment Russia has gotten through since it invaded Ukraine. In this one he looks at the amount of equipment the Russians have available for internal security threats (like the Wagner rebellion) and other external threats. The bases at Kaliningrad are particularly interesting as you see not only loads of equipment gone but also building collapsing.

Russia has been on the offensive for over a year now and they are absolutely at the end of the road in terms of AFVs but still manage to fill the holes in manpower and missile's.
 
Same thing with Isreal. If anything it's got a lot worse since he became president again. It was always a ridiculous narrative that the world was a safer place when he was in the White House.
It's a performance. He doesn't really mean it in either case.
 
Is that despite Ukraine having more of them, that go further and carry more; and have been the originator of every innovation (including fibre optic controls and AI)?
 
Ukraine uses remote control first person dones on the front line (bigger ones for hitting strategic targets) these can be jammed with EW but they are cheap and effective. The Russians have gone down the fibre optic route because they can't be jammed and they have the capacity to make them unlike the Ukrainians who's military industry is much smaller. It's horses for courses but the fibre optic ones are probably going to be the choice for more modern armies

Funny you say that, is it possible that after watching the use of large scale drone warfare in Ukraine other armies may be re-evaluating the use of drones?

Oh absolutely. Ukraine have set up a warfare school in Poland to train NATO forces on drones etc....but apparently they haven't said thank you
