Personally, I've effectively stopped giving full credence to the Ukrainian government's claims when it comes to the extent of losses its forces have inflicted. In Makariv, reality doesn’t match the propaganda - The Washington Post WWW.WASHINGTONPOST.COM A visit to Makariv finds Russians still shelling and killing, despite government claims that Ukrainian forces had retaken the town.

CitizenVectron Posted March 24, 2022 Author Share Posted March 24, 2022 Some debate over whether the Ukrainians hit the ships directly, or if (more likely) their missile was intercepted, and the burning debris fell on the one ship and then started a fire which explodified its ammo stores (damaging the other ships).

CayceG Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 That is a fantastic operation by the Ukrainians to have nailed this hit with THREE landing ships in port. Holy shit am I impressed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CitizenVectron Posted March 24, 2022 Author Share Posted March 24, 2022 Someone compared the known coordinates of a Ukrainian TB-2 drone with the view of its camera in aiding to target artillery...and the video was from 45-50km away. So these TB-2s are able to just loiter up to 50km (31 miles) away and help target artillery. No wonder the Russians keep getting caught.

CitizenVectron Posted March 24, 2022 Author Share Posted March 24, 2022 The Ukraine War thread on resetera is constantly full of people hyping up for nuclear war, saying that NATO needs to act now, that there's only a small chance of nuclear conflict if the US sends in troops, etc, so NATO strikes need to occur on Russia, etc. So I made a joke that anyone who downplays nuclear war should be banned for one day and made to watch Threads (show about nuclear war) before they are allowed to return. Clearly a joke. Well, I was banned for one day for "backseat moderation." 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
