Admit it, this was kino
>>61490375Kino seeing thr vdv get massacred
>>61490375early war was fucking kinowatching a whole ""war"plan" go into shamblesstill love it when someone is posting the burned out bmd columns in in hostomel/bucha/irpin. the dead vatnigs with molten aluminium near them are the best.
>>61490375Early war was kino before it became noting but "drones dropping grenades on the homeless" garbage.
>>61490375Early was was kino indeed.
>>61490389The shot of the Hind taking a stinger to the face in HD was peak.
it was exceptionally kino. if russia kept up that momentum they would probably be rooted for, but they turned into a charlie chaplan bit a day later
>>61490375it's only kino if it results in success, not getting fucking rekt seconds later
>>61490375>geez i wonder why they stopped
>>61490375When I saw those helicopters flying in formation, I thought like, this is it. It's Red Alert but real, and I never thought I would live long enough to see it happen. Kino couldn't begin to describe it.
>>61490421kino
>>61490375It was kino and what is sad is that if the west just had doubled or tripled up their early equipment deliveries and if Ukraine mobilized earlier, blew up some key infrastructure such as bridges, fired their traitors and just spam mines everywhere, this war would have looked radically different which probably would have saved billions in western taxpayer money and thousands of Ukrainian lives.
early invasion was fucking kinoWe probably won't see nothing like this ever again
>>61490435haha, yah but they didnt, and the opposite happened! hilarious even
>>61490435>its all ukraines and western fault that so many people are dying, not because of fucking russia invading a country because muh nazis.Very subtle, prajeet. You guys are learning
>>61490435it was completely rational to hold off on support. most people didnt expect russia to fall flat on their faces after leaving the starting block
>>61490447Yeah. Western scalation fear, ignorance and retards genuinely believing Putin's peace offerings (such as Scholtz and Macron) really fucked everything up and has stuck us in this retarded deadlock.I am dead certain that if Ukraine had 3-5 times the Stingers, NLAW's, Javelins and some old Soviet stock from Eastern Europe together with proper mining of the Isthmus of Perekop and demolition charges on the Antonetski bridge, then Russia would be stuck with pretty much pre-2022 borders with minimal advances.
>>61490452The fuck are you talking about? This has nothing to do with who's to blame of Russia invading, Ukraine did an amazing job given the tools that it had at it's disposal but as I say here >>61490483, what the west gave to Ukraine was pretty much token support compared to what was needed and what could have been done if we had supplied them well-enough at the very start. Now we're stuck in a forever-war because of indecision in the beginning of the war.
>>61490499Like this was 1 month before the invasion and Germany thought sending helmets was a meaningful contribution to stop the Russian invasion.
>>61490435>>61490483>>61490499>>61490511the worst part is that no matter how we spin it, Russia always comes out as a retard for invading Ukraine, lets take a look:>Russia had no idea about Ukraine getting lend lease, so they invadedwhich makes Russia a retard in this scenario. >Russia was 100% aware of Ukraine getting lend lease, invaded anywaywhich makes Russia a retard in this scenario. The biggest shock of this entire war was the 9000 mile long russian army convoy to Kiev suddenly dissappearing into a black hole.pic/wemb related, apparently it wasnt a black hole.
>>61490524there is an aura of mysticism and mystery around this convoy, the only thing i can imagine that could inflict such ruin on the Russians is america, reminds me of the Death Highway in Iraq. But i dont see america destroying the kiev convoy unless they have actual Romulan stealth cloaking devices on their planes.
>>61490524I remember reading about that a couple of years ago thinking it's over.... and then silence. And then hearing it completely shat the bed. I'm very glad for this outcome, but the war is far from over, unfortunately.
>>61490456>it was completely rational to hold off on supportUntil summer 2022 maybe but the absolute cuckery that followed has no excuse. The moment Russia announced the partial mobilization support training of Ukrainian forces on western armor and aircraft should've started. Long range weapons like Storm Shadows, Taurus and ATACMs should've also been sent over. Instead everyone waited sucking their thumbs until Bakhmut fell.
>>61490414>if russia kept up that momentum they would probably be rooted forNo. Fuck you are deluded.
>>61490452He's right though "much escalation" pussy footing in the early months has cost many lives. As if the Russians weren't the ones escalating massively by invading
>>61490421Yeah this is the one I was thinking of.
>>61490524Don't really care about Russia being retarded or not. What I care about is how well Ukraine could have exploited Russian retardedness. It's such a missed opportunity and I genuinely think Russia could have been even more humiliated and civilians such as in Bucha and Mariupol could have been saved if the west had stepped the fuck up and helped Ukraine more.
>>61490435sounds like an excuse to shoot civies
This may be an odd place to ask but where the fuck are the F-16s?Thought they'd be ready by now.
>>61490421>The Piorun sends it's regards
>>61490435>>61490452NAFO friendly fire, many such cases.
>>61490607They're still a couple of months away, early Summer unless something happens.
>>61490421Remember when the vatniks were trying to spread it around that this was just footage of a training exercise in Poland? Like shooting down live Hinds is just a normal thing that happens in NATO training.
>>61490648It is, though? Back when I was in, we used to have live fire drills against Opfer vehicles crewed by Donbas children the Ukrainian regime send us in return for arms and cocaine shipments on a bi-monthly basis.
>>61490483>Western scalation fearThis is always such a retarded one-sided thing. Like they say it as if Russia is the only country with nukes. The west should just deploy troops to Ukraine to defend it. Russia better not attack them. They wouldn't want to escalate with NATO now would they.
>>61490421I got an oldie from the Ukie's not flying Mi-24's into Belgorod and fucking shit up that never happened
>>61490695
>>61490607No offense but that's a tourist-ass question. They are slated for later this year, and even then its going to be a long time before the Ukrainians can really start using. Pilot training/conversion training is a motherfucker.
>>61490688Yeah but if NATO troops are in Ukraine in numbers its practically over the Russian Federation and the Russians might just say fuck it and do a preemptive first strike so that way they will still lose but the West will lose more.
>>61490421thats arma 3 footage
>>61490598lmao amnesty still claims only a dozen civs got killed in the strike
>>61490710Negotiation with rabid dogs who threaten to end civilization if they dont get their way is not fruitful.
>>61490710>do a preemptive first strike so that way they will still lose but the West will lose more.Yeah, I bet China would be so happy about it.
>>61490524speaking of lend lease, why did Ukraine not get it? Not a single cent was sent from that 40bil paycheck signed on May 9th 2022
>>61490731Yeah China would probably be the only winner in this scenario>>61490729Hence the part where they say fuck it and do it anyways.
>>61490745How do you see China surviving a nuclear war? They're the biggest food importer.
Early war kino was kinohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wYeOlj5JZRM
>>61490761They'd just bully other nations into selling them food since they'd go pretty much completely unchallenged. Plus they could spare losing 100 million people or so. Didn't stop them before.
K I N OINOhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VXHGCmkoik0
>>61490774Do you think there would be a lot of nations to bully after few thousands nuclear strikes? Are you sure no one would nuke China as well?
>>61490811India would nuke China and Pakistan simultaneously
>>61490718I wishreally hope game designers hoard all the footage so we get a really beautiful "battlefield 2022" soon
>>61490740escalation memelords
>>61490830Imagine what horrid mutations the Apple named subcontinent would spit out after getting nuked. It's not like they have a shortage of horrid deformities at the best of times
>>61490695I must admit it, these guys had balls. We'll probably only know the turth once the war is over but damn...flying an almost suicide mission into russian territory just to show that you too can strike inside enemy territory...that's gutsy.
>>61490421>Get shot down right next to a graveyardIt was pure pottery.
>>61490524I've seen tankies claim there never was any convoy on the road to Kyiv. "There's no way Russians would be that retarded" etc. Whatever it takes to make that blyatrun look good for RU, I guess.
>>61490375Early war was amazing, the front was so dynamic both sides often didn't know which side of it they were on which lead to insane videos.>>61490435Yeah, shame the Budapest Memorandum was nothing but lies.
>>61490688Because unlike Russia, Western countries are democracies, which means that the opinions of voters matter. Not a single Euro NATO country would put boots on the ground if the USA didn't do so first, and the US population doesn't really have the hots for a ground war at the moment, not after the waste of time and money that was the 2 decades in Afghanistan. That's why Brandon regurgitates like a Tourette's patient "No American boots on the ground" every second sentence when talking about Ukraine. It just isn't popular.
>>61490375in hindsight I'm curious why the VDV weren't totally obliterated out of the sky. i know Ukraine got a few - but they just seem like sitting ducks cruising in there like it's a training exercise.
>>61491103Russia moved towards and away from the border a dozen times in the 3 years before crossing it, no one expected them to actually do it.
>>61490774China's population is way more concentrated than either US or EU. Same with Russia. Nuclear Strikes would pretty much reset their civilizations and just badly damage the other two.
>>61491141It was obvious that the things went on when navigator apps started showing traffic jams on all roads toward Ukrainan border at about X-30 minutes or so.
>>61491025
>>61490421
>>61490375It was a fucking Tom Clancy novel IRL. The opening days were unbelievable, witnessing a European war unfolding in the 21st century. Everything was still highly mobile and not a WW1 remaster. The helicopter assault was /k/ino and I’m tired of pretending it wasn’t
>>61490566You are completely delusional to think /k/, like most of 4chan, always roots for the most entertaining team. Stop trying to correct the record.
>>61490566You are in denial. This board just supports whoever is competent
>>61491499*Dosnt always root for the most entertaining team*, fuck a minor syntax error my argument is destroyed.
>>61491518This is one of the few vatnigs I feel bad for. Dude had no business being in that jet and was either drunk as fuck or hadn't flown in 20 years.
>>61490375Most underrated /k/ino photo from Hostomel is picrel, end of story.
>>61490375early war was peak kino
>>61491550The low flying jets going past neighborhoods was tight
>>61490607Pilot training.In late autumn 2023 there was just 1 Ukie that had completed training and was doing practice. 4 were near completion but didn't have any practice hours in. Remaining were either just starting training or still doing English course to be able to train.
I miss the HATO-funded biolabs
>>61491640It makes sense theyre not skimping on training. A few F-16s manned by non-retards is better than a whole fleet of retards
>>61491652And don't forget the Nazi sims
>>61491682I bet that sick fuck deleted the ladder while sims were in the pool.
>>61490375It was fucking insane. Wagner coup was the only thing to approach that level.
>>61490421Are they okay?
>>61491833yes, it's a standard procedure
>>61491481why did this retard even bother doing this
>>61490452>you agree with me but not in my very specific way, so you must be a false flag shillDude, take a good hard look at yourself. Actual fucking cult behaviour
>>61491891Panic, the only reason they were alive was surpression and he was running out of ammo.He made a video explaining the whole thing and it's pretty funny, he told a Ukie that spoke fuck all english if he started yelling there was armour and he needed AT or they would die. Then he starts yelling "I need ammo" and the Ukie that doesn't know english thinks "shit, there is armor" and just kept feeding him AT.
>>61491891>In largest european landwar in 75 years>handed a supply of rocket launchers to use at your discretion >find yourself riding in a humvee into battleWhy wouldn't you Anon? Most men don't get the chance to do a rocket launcher driveby. And you're sitting here like a faggot asking why?
>>61491025Pajeet
It was quite a shock to hear the Ukes were holding there ground. The illusion of Russian superiority was shattered. I wish i could find them but there was vids of street fights around Kyiv and in the other cities. That one vid of a drone directing i believe was russian forces first entering a city was going to be a change in warfare. Seems ukes beat them to the punch with fpv drones. Man mines really take the fun out of war.
>>61491880Wasn't our house niggerfaggot saying it was a """textbook airborne assault""" kek
>>61492190
>>61492190It was a textbook assault, they did what paras do. The issue is that if you do not reinforce paratroopers they just die.
>>61491025Stop using your waterways as landfills, Siddartha.
>>61492202>soldiers are supposed to die instead to kill their enemyIt sounds about right for Russia.
>>61490511Ukrain needed helmets germany could not deliver weapons into an actual war zone so they send what Ukrain asked for and what our constitution allowed.A week later our constitution was changed which was a historical event and will change our country forever.>meanwhile ziggers cant even act admit that they are in an actual war they are losing and take the needed measures
>>61492210Uh huh, isn't that why any """textbook""" that isn't krokodil-addled will make sure to mention airborne assaults need support?
>>61492341The VDV not getting reinforcements isnt their fault. If the main force doesnt arrive in time (cause all the fuel is gone cause leadership has them idling for a week) theres not much they can do. I know you cant allow a positive thing to be said about russian military but the vdv operated professionally
>>61490740https://www.atlanticcouncil.org/blogs/ukrainealert/lend-lease-act-expiration-will-not-affect-current-us-aid-to-ukraine/>However, the use of the Lend-Lease was deprioritized due to the existence of newer alternative streams for assistance. Military aid efforts instead focused on three other American budget programs: The Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative (USAI), the Foreign Military Financing program (FMF), and the Presidential Drawdown Authority (PDA), which have all provided aid to Ukraine without any requirements for the return or reimbursement of weapons.>Considering the ability of small minorities in Congress to hold up the passage of legislation that has strong bipartisan support, political and bureaucratic barriers and limitations can make voting on aid packages sluggish. In the House, a few members can block progress within the Republican conference, even when a program has majority support. In the Senate, a single senator can deny unanimous consent, forcing the Senate to use cumbersome procedures to end filibusters. Lend-Lease could be an additional tool to clear assistance through simplified procedures. It may also be worth reviving for the purpose of overcoming Congressional gridlock that delays the passage of regular appropriations bills.>Ukraine’s Ambassador to the United States, Oksana Markarova, argued in July that “the option of leasing or renting weapons” should ideally remain possible through the Lend-Lease Act in the event of delays or difficulties securing weapons for Ukraine through other packages. She is currently working to extend the Act’s term of validity for another year so that the mechanism stays in place, should stoppages occur in the approval or delivery of other forms of aid.
>>61492373So then airborne assaults aren't supposed to happen all on their own, that's a good start for improving a """textbook""". Next "support" isn't supposed to come only from the "main force", especially if it's far away.>poor poor russia, it's so mean to make fun of faggots who tried to talk big then got stuck in a lift """professionally"""
>>61491833
>>61491891Kharkiv was a shitshow and it was fucking kino.
>>61490524>convoyIf only you'd seen the Kyiv - Zhitomir highway near Kyiv in early April 2022, right when pidors got routed from there. Outside of the obvious destruction of civilian buildings (including the maternity hospital) nearby, the whole thing was flooded with exploded and burned out russian armor and literal small hills of dead and burned pidors. I drove through it and this crap barely got tugged to the side of the road to reopen traffic on it. Imagine slowly driving and seeing dead pidors being scrapped off the asphalt. Shit sill is so vivid.
>>61490745>My retarded friend get into a war with my two biggest trade customers.>Now a huge chunk of my production capacity sits idle and warehouses are full of crap and no one to sell it.China will be hurt as much as it gets nuked too, we are not longer living on a two block system, everybody is intermingled with everybody, for better or worse, and the pain will be shared, one way or another.And rest assured, the Chinese know this, this is why won't be a Taiwan invasion anytime soon, the price is too step for a shitty island with nothing of value (pro tip: the chip foundries will blow up to kingdom come at the very minute the first chinese boot touches the beach).
>>61490483It's never been about fear. It's just an uncomfortable truth that the West benefits the most from a protracted war. A quick defeat would have lessened the impact of all of the following:>on russian economy>on russian geopolitical standing>on the overall long-term capabilities of the russian military>on the amount of caution other dictators will exercise before invading their neighbors (especially china - taiwan)It sucks for Ukraine but the protracted war will cripple our enemies much more than a quick victory would have
>>61490421Ohh, the first turret tossing olympics
>>61490499>we're stuckWho's this "we"? This isn't the West's war, and no amount of screeching will change that. This is a war between Russia and Ukraine, "the west" would have been completely justified in sitting on their hands on the sidelines watching Ukraine burn.
>>61490384thisi was really expecting it to be mainly done in a month like Iraq but seeing it go off the rails was neat
>>61490375
>>61490375It was, like Call of Duty and Red Dawn rolled into one. And it ended up as well for the Russians as Call of Duty and Red Dawn too.Turns out all the stereotypical evil russian invasion stories were actually realistic and they really just run around with helicopters and armored vehicles aimlessly with no objective in sight without ever stopping killing everything in sight including each other until they inevitably explode like action movie henchmen and then on to the next set piece.Though the real kino was the battle over the nuclear plant in Zaporzhina or whatever that was streamed live through a security camera. That's when I knew nothing from this war from then on out would ever, ever surprise me again.
>>61493604It is totally the wests war. All of Europe is the west, and we do not want this shit rubbing up against us.
>>61490421Weird that you don't really see this happening to the UH-60s, but when it does, it's a big deal and the Americans end up making a movie about it.
>>61490375I think Mi-8s are kind of cool
>>61491084They should stop fucking around and do a no fly zone over western Ukraine. No need for infantrymen.
>>61490421This scene, the one with the helo being shot down at the mass attack over the water and the one with the wagner helo using flares to dodge a sam at the last seconds are the three most kino moments in war history.
>>61490524Remember that the vatniks tell us that these convoys were feints and negotiation tactics, and they were withdrawn. Always remember to show them vids like this
>>61494067Favorite part was the one chopper so low its actually skimming the water.
>>61492373The VDV's "reinforcements" were also VDV you dumb jit. Also when you land on a airport the landing strips aren't supposed to be blown to bits and covered in destroyed armored cars.Outside of the first wave the VDV didn't even land at the airport, they landed at the woods nearby because the fucking place was a battlefield. They had to march over while under fire.>>61491891why would you not fire rockets at infantry attacking you
>>61490938Lol, the convoy was the prototype "2 more weeks" for ziggers.. I remember seeing countless bots clamoring about it. "O-once the convoy gets to KEEV its Over!". Then they all completely memory holed it
>>61490770>>61490798RA4 took a weird direction desu.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PQu_DxbIjUs

>>61494067>This scene, the one with the helo being shot down at the mass attack over the water and the one with the wagner helo using flares to dodge a sam at the last seconds are the three most kino moments in war history.>>61494106>Favorite part was the one chopper so low its actually skimming the water.>>61494721Found it!oundit
>>61490375>>61490384I 100% thought Russia would overrun Ukraine in a month tops, and then settle in for 20 years of outstandingly brutal insurgency.
>>61490648Yup. Dumbest cope of them all.
>>61490710>Oh no Ivan, we have to go back to our own country>Welp, guess we better commit sucicide by NATO on behalf of all of our citizens as well, press the button!How do people think this decision plays out, exactly? Like Putin gathers together his joint chiefs and says because they lose a border skirmish in another country, it's time for all of Russia to be destroyed forever?This is the dumbest propaganda ever.
>>61490435I've not seen this before. Makes seeing all the dead VDV all the more sweet.
>>61494064Better alternative is just giving more AA systems to Ukraine so they can deplete the Russian air force beyond effectiveness. No need to actually get down and dirty with actual NATO stuff.
>>61494744Ukrainian little old ladies are literally poisoning Russian soldiers with gifts of free soup in the occupied territories, vatnik.
>>61490916>everyone in this picture is deadkek
>>61490441Hopefully you're right, but we know that shitheads like Putin exist all over the world. I can only imagine what it must have been like those early days. Even I thought that it couldn't last more than a week. The Ukrainian people proved stronger than I first thought. When they saw this over their skies, they didn't cower, or give in to hopelessness. They carried on, reported for duty, and those that could not went and filled bottles to use as molotov cocktails. These people were ready to go down with the ship. They persevered and then they started winning, and even though the war drags on, they haven't lost hope. I really appreciate the spirit of a people ready to leave the past behind and go into the new world. No, Ukrainians aren't just like Germans and the French, but they'll get there. Yes, they're corrupt, just like my native country of Mexico, but progress is about the small steps, and Ukraine has gone leaps and bounds more than that.
>>61494786>No, Ukrainians aren't just like Germans and the French, but they'll get thereI mean they are. Since all three said Russia wouldn't attack despite UK and USA saying 'They defo are'.
>>61490375The entirety of February '22 was kino as fuckunironically thank you Russia for bringing some excitement and good old conventional peer to peer combat back to Europe. We can all agree the Sandbox Wars were getting boring.
>>61490511I was in Germany (Berlin even) in the months leading up to the invasion, studying IR so I actually had direct access to respected Auswärtiges Amt veterans, met a Bundeswehr General at a conference, etc. All of them universally agreed that Russia would not invade because the idea of it sounded so monumentally stupid to them. It was literally unthinkable that Russia would shoot itself in the foot like this when they were otherwise seemingly okay with waging a protracted proxy war and had de facto control over Crimea and Donbas established. I emailed some professors after my time there was up and after the invasion had already begun, all of them basically went "yeah shit we didn't see that coming"
>>61490607>Have to train ground team for maintenance >Have to train pilot himself>Have to train with Ukrainian Army to coordinate usage of jets and cross service communication >Also probably have to teach them English or spend a lot of time translating the plane's manual, UI, audio alerts, etc. into Ukrainian >Pilot probably gonna need like 1000 hours of flight time to be combat capable against an actual Peer adversary like Russia who, despite everything else, at least still make respectable jets like the Su-27 line This is at least a whole 12 months of shit to do
>>61490731China is more rational than we give them credit for. The Chinese were genuinely pissed at North Korea for developing nukes and were, at first, quite cooperative with the US and UN in sanctioning them for it. Nowadays China just keeps its retarded little buddy around because they're literally just stuck with them (nobody wants to deal with 26 million Nork refugees if the DPRK collapses). Obviously China supports Russia in this current war, but they probably wouldn't support Russia fucking up the entire god damn planet in a nuclear exchange
>>61494799I was referring to the state of their institutions, which is what actually makes for a functioning country.
>>61494929Counterpoint : Wolf warrior diplomacy is utterly retarded and is actually counter productive to China's goals, and yet they persist with it.
>>61490566ESL tourist detected
>>61492095It really was crazy to see Russia just falter. People had sort of accepted that the Russians would just annihilate Ukraine in a conventional war since 2014.
>>61490375it was kino when the battalion leaders helicopter got shot down into the lake
>>61492373Anon answer me this, if I end my story of taking a successful shit, when the poop exits the anus and leave out the part where it gets smeared all over the walls, did I in fact, have a successful shit?
>>61494937Definitely one of Xi's most retarded legacies, along with undoing the 10 year rotating Presidency.
>>61490435No es mi problema amigo
>>61491911Welcome to /k/ post February 2022, where everyone is either a shill, Jewish, Arab, or Indian
>>61490382
>>61490740because contrary to what retards think, the aid packages are overwhelmingly spent here in the factories producing the weapons to replace whats being sent over there. most idiots in the media just assume its pallets of cash loaded onto planes while in reality that really only happens when the glowies or demonrats like obama want to pay someone like iran off
>>61490396Someone post it please, completely forgot about that one. Also >THE GHOST OF KYIV
Here's a nice compilation of some early war kino.https://files.catbox.moe/dt8adj.mp4

>>61494786It'll never happen again because no one has the Soviet stockpile Russia inherited. Taiwan will be a naval fight.
>>61495559I mean the coming Saudi wars will be crazy, though. They have top-tier equipment, are savages, and their country is nearly guaranteed to fall apart in the next 50-100 years.
>>61490421Since the beginning of the invasion, I haven't seen the Ruskies using Hind for anything.
>>61494937>>61495067China's goals are the goals that the Party decides and the goals the Party decides are the goals of the Revolution. They're not acting in accordance to rationalism or "common sense" or "realism". This is extremely obvious but it very much needs to be said.

>>61496076You expect me to respect a cube?
>>61496371Pidorashka thinks that simply putting on a uniform or being airborne deserves respect, but don't realize that the reason western troops get respect is because they represent a protection of democracy and liberalism, and of higher causes like fighting terrorism and so on. You may not agree with those ways of doing things, but we can agree that they are noble goals. Pidor thinks that getting in your helicopters to subjugate a free nation is just as commendable as trying to stop that from happening. He might even bring up Iraq, ignoring that coalition troops toppled a genocidal dictator. To vatniggers, there is no difference between the invasion of Kuwait and its liberation. Can't you see that they're both wearing the funny costumes?
>>61494744>(((white))) people dont act like that #1bro there is insurgency in Russia itself. Are you retarded? Fuck it I already know you are. How many officers have to get blown up or murdered during their morning jog for you to realize it?
>>61494043It goes way deeper than that. Any victory Russia has achieved in this entire war would be considered a criminal tragedy and an incomprehensible failure if it occurred to the US. It would be studied for decades to come as an example of utmost incompetence. People would be put on trial and face decades behind bars.They've lost more men in single assaults than the US did in entire years in Afghanistan. Hell, I wouldn't doubt in singular days they've lost more men than the US did in the entire 20 years there.
>>61494730I'd love to see GoPro footage from the pilots behind that one that went down. They must have been shitting themselves.
they got mogged. Niggers started shooting civvies cuase they didn't open their doors to em, lmfao. They really believed their propaganda that they are liberators. It's like a murican in Iraq thinking he goes to free iraqis from Saddam and establish a democracy
>>61490375>Admit it, this was kinoguy eats bone from a tank
>>61494744>(((white))) people dont act like that #1What does that mean? Lithuanians (and Latvians with Estonians to a lesser extent) did post-WW2, unless they aren't white according to you.

>>61491084The opinion in most countries was to massively step up aid as soon as the invasion started, and retards like Scholtz did everything they could to deny and delay.
>>61494043Blyat Hawk Down
>>61492095I expected the switch to artillery grind around Severodonetsk to be the beginning of the end as Russia changed tactics and bought their full force to bear, but it turned out that just depleted their stockpiles for a few K of ground and then the Karkhiv and Kherson counter attacks put the Ukrianians in a decent position. It's not until this year the Russians finally got the initiative back.

>>61499597Oh come on the meat cube was a naturally supreme meme.
>>61499597So what you're saying is that meme warfare works, that we're good at meme warfare, and that Russia can't meme.A'ight
>>61498263It's got nothing to do with believing his own propaganda. He's guzzling communist dialectics like everybody else in the CCP. His goal is to finish what Deng started, which is to create the synthesis of the thesis of Mao with the anti-thesis of Deng's reforms. This, if it works, will bring about the next stage of the Historical process and advance the Revolution (tm).Or at least, that's what the communists doing this believe. This is why its important to support the actual real Chinese, Taiwan. The CCP thieves don't care about chips or what if their GDP gets a bit lower or if they won't be able to sell cheap garbage to Americans again. The CCP are the only ones who call the shots and if bringing back cannibalism and starvation is necessary to bring the next stage of History (with upper case H) and finish the Revolution by taking Taiwan, they'll do it.
>>61498131WW1 battlefields are toxic to this day and some Ukrainian fronts saw more fire than some of them.
>>61490375Watching the whole invasion grind to a halt outside of Kyiv and the resulting carnage was truly something to behold. Now we're lucky to get a handful of tanks detonating mines in some barren field.
>>61492373I mean they did their job, they followed orders and drove where they were supposed to. I’d even say they were brave if not stupidWhat they weren’t was effective. They drove in on their bmds and flew in and got absolutely wiped out. From that perspective they weren’t effective at all
>>61499047>he doesn'tmakes you think
I wasn't paying too much attention to the early days of the war, thinking it'd be over after they reached Kiev in two days. How did the Ukies lose their whole air force besides a dozen planes? Caught unaware on the ground or shot down in dogfights?
>>61499986Russia has more planes and probly had more experienced pilots.
All in all Russians were reportedly very close to success in the Kijów operationCame down to insufficient forces, good response from individual Ukrainian commanders, and some bad luck then all else fell apart, since Russians were not ready for an actual war
>>61490688But why? We can just send weapons.
>>61499553This got posted. At first, vatniks tried to make out that these were Ukrainian casualties, then the images got geolocated to well behind the lines...on the Russian side. After that, it was suddenly just offal for a (closed) dog food processing plant, nothing to see here tovarisch. Naturally, this made people suspect that the Russians had been doing that projecting thing they're famous for never ever doing under any circumstances, and a meme was born.
>>61500002a meme about as real as the mobile crematories

>>61501295I disagree. A nation unwilling to defend itself does not deserve to exist. The fall of Afghanistan against a bunch of dudes in ponchos and flip flops is a good example. Ukies went to the mat against Russia and performed vastly over performed.

>>61499738If they do it, may it be late enough that Ukraine has built and sold a bunch of shipments of final-form Magura fireboats, and Neptun Harpoon-derivatives, to Taiwan. So we can watch Z__-05's and Type63A's conduct a mass Black Sea Reenactment.

It's a big network and alliance of shitholes.Also Communist China's friends aren't their neighbours outside of North Korea and like Laos and Cambodia I think. Also similar to Russia.
>>61499738To all here who think china can pull off a beach invasion of Taiwan, a couple of things are needed.1. air supremacy. NOT superiority. They need to own the sky. Not happening against western jets.2. naval supremacy. Yeah good luck there bucko there are US carrier groups staring right at them also defeating the purpose of point 1.3. Element of total surprise. I'm completely sure the largest naval invasion in history against a foe that has more eyes in space then you have eyes in your rice is a good idea4. good recon aaAHAHAHAHA no. Not even no, just lmao. The chinese reject the notion of recon.Combining all of these points into one conclusion, the result is>the only way the chinese are ever stepping foot into taiwan is when they have to cross the rotting meat bridge to sign the damn peace treaty after 40 percent of their food stopped being imported and half a billion chinks are clawing at the doors of the CCP with sharp sticks and bomb vests.This whole thing is a FANTASY. Stop playing into the only thing they seem to be good at, it's convincing tardies that their words aren't lies.

>>61495559That will quickly devolve into just a missile spam fight and that will be it until the end of the war, much like what we're seeing now in Ukraine. If it ever leaves that phase, in the first place.
>>61506723They'll most like try at some point while Xi is in power. It will be worse than Russia's attempt at taking over Kiev.The US still needs to seriously arm Taiwan. And so should South Korea help Taiwan. They also should step up support for the Baltics and Finland.The best job the US could ever do to its allies is serve as a massive bank and supplier for their own defense forces and projects. >>61507088Yes.

>>61504477>come die in our slav civil war faggots Pilots are smarter than the morons that volunteered for infantry.
>>61499738It's far more than just some gommunist dilateics. What gommunism does do is prevent pooh from actually declaring himself an emperor, Outside of that, he already styles himself as one in all but name.Taiwan is important to him for more than just the civil war or gommunist revolution, and far more than muh chips. What matters is it was once owned by the Manchurian empire (or at least they claimed it, but couldn't control the austroniggers in the east, who kept provoking the Japs). To a gutter-oil-addled mind, what belonged to the Qangs n sheeit should belong to chingchong now. Yes, that includes Mongolia, Tuva, and Vladivostok, but they'll hold off on those for now to avoid pissing off that closest thing they have to a buddy. That leaves Taiwan.This is the exact same thought process pootin had for his imperialist ambitions. Just like monke was guzzling dugin's diarrhea, the chicoms are also making up shit about their own history to psych themselves up for an imperialist "make chingchong gleat again" adventure.
>>61511632>Hey, Western fighter pilots who train hundreds of hours per year for (and jerk off to the idea of) air-to-air combat but who are unlikely to ever see any action short of WW3. How'd you like the best chance of your life to become the first ace of the 21st-century? We'll pay you five times your regular salary plus bonuses for everything you shoot down.

>>61504477>I'm still mad as shit we aren't already seeing F16s (and 15s) flown by Western "volunteers" under the Ukrainian flag, like the Russians have done in literally every other proxy warIt's not really the same with modern jet fighters. The technical proficiency in flying the thing along with training for flying in modern contested space is far too big a burden. 70 years ago you could get a couple of weeks training and get sent up the air for some dog fighting. Now you'll need years of practice and learning just to fly without getting shot down by AD.
kino
>>61496373Kino
>>61492095I wonder if the sound of being suppressed by MG-3's triggers some blood memory of the russians on the receiving end.
There was a kino video of a Ukrainian jet taking off while the airfield was being bombed that was like something from a movie. I think it was 2022 or maybe mid-2023 at the latest.

>>61512066It still doesn't work unless the same platforms and entire ecosystem of other assets that support them exists in the places they're volunteering in. Not to mention there's no way air forces would let pilots just go on a "vacation" for a year or two after spending millions and many years training them to be used in their own militaries.

>>61490710If Russia used nuclear strike first, they would be the warmongering losers and no one will believe their claim they did so in "self defense". ...and it would call the bluff of Biden that they would then use non-nuclear weapon to rid Russia of Ukraine & Crimea.The difficulty is only sending the first troops before progressively sending more.
>>61490745>Yeah China would probably be the only winner in this scenario>>61490761>How do you see China surviving a nuclear war? They're the biggest food importer.I don't know what scenario you start with but if Russia used nuclear strike to frighten everyone, China would CEASE supporting them and everyone's would then call up the bluff of Russia doing a strike on a true target.If Russia started a nuclear war, China would love to stay aside and remain unscathed, watching occidental countries destroyed. Worth loosing Russia who would collapse immediately, leaving China free to come as "rescuer" and take control.Radioactivity would only give China more room to set crazier population control protocol.

>>61511674>Outside of that, he already styles himself as one in all but name.Yes, that's part of the communism. It's based on a progressive, dialectical view of history, with China being at its highest level the synthesis of communism with the Qing Dynasty government, against the "reactionary" Nationalist Chinese government as represented by Taiwan.Just like how the USSR was the synthesis of the Russian Empire with communism. The whole idea from start to end was Russian Empire plus communism, a Russian Empire with an enlightened caste of the intellectuals and their workers instead of the Romanovs, with revolutionary socialism instead of the aristocracy and tzarism.Everything else you said is 100% compatible and part of actual real communism, not bullshit propaganda about workers and rights or whatever. I don't think you really understand what communism really is about. It's ok, communists don't want most people to understand.
I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're refering to as gommunism, is in fact, wewuz/gommunism, or as I've recently taken to calling it, wewuz plus gommunism. gommunism is not an ideology unto itself, but rather another auhoritarian component of a barely functioning wewuz fantasy made ridiculous by the wewuz kangz, Qangz and sheeit comprising a full schizophrenia as defined by Marx.Many dictators run a modified version of the wewuz fantasy every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of wewuz which is widely used today is often called gommunism, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the wewuz system, which came to me in a dream.There really is a gommunism, and these "people" are using it, but it is just a part of the fantasy they use. gommunism is the bait: the carrot dangled in front of the masses to get them to go along with shit. The bait is an essential part of an ideology, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete horseshit. gommunism is normally used in combination with the wewuz fantasy: the whole system is basically wewuz with gommunism added, or wewuz/gommunism. All the so-called gommunism attempts are really attempts of wewuz/gommunism!
