Ukraine - Russia Conflict

I find Zelensky courageous: staying in Kiev while he is Putin's number one target....
Well the war's just begun. Let's see how it ends & whether Zelensky would still remain in Kiev. Besides this isn't the 18th century anymore & Zelensky isn't some Mussolini or Hitler or even Saddam or Qaddafi. Even if he falls into Russian hands which I very much doubt , he'd have to be released scot free. There's not much Putin can do to him , aside from mouthing rhetoric.

It'd be a different situation if they got their hands on BJ or his motor mouth Secretary of Defence though.

Russians assumed that Kyiv will fall easily but Ukrainian fight back is fierce

So they have taken losses

Kyiv is 80 KM from Border

It will take a lot of time to capture Kyiv
 
The exact opposite of the Afghan leadership. And the ANA had the ability to fight the Taliban

20 years of fighting and Massive corruption in Afghanistan took away their Will To Fight

Taliban had the will to fight

In case of India , Pakistan assumed that Terror attacks in Kashmir and elsewhere and Sending 30 Thousand Terrorists across LOC will make us loose our " Will to fight "

Now who is hurting in KPK and Baloochistan
 
Lol. Invasion isn't going the way Putin thought it would.


That's easily anywhere around 300-350 Russian soldiers dead! US lost 143 servicemen in action 1991 Desert Storm.


Looks like all that training by US since 2014 and participating in Afghanistan has made them into real fighters.

Russia is still likely going to accomplish its mission (I think) but it is going to be so costly. This war has exposed Russia military of its lacking. It lacks proper night fighting capability and leadership. Ukraine military is far less capable in equipment than Sadam's army was in 1991 and they are bleeding the Russians. The true fighting hasn't taken place just wait and see when they arrive in the urban areas it's going to get ugly for them they might have to pull a Grozny on Ukraine's cities.

Russian's better hope they don't do anything stupid to pull the US into the conflict the Russian's would get annihilated by US superior strike capability.

Indian military uses vast majority Russian gear, huh? Oh boy... If and when China takes your clamed lands in the mountains you better hope nations don't treat you like India has treated Ukraine.

Looks like the chicoms are starting to get it.
Chinese banks restrict lending to Russia, dealing blow to Moscow

Lol, we'll be fine. You don't have to worry so much.

Oh, and no, the Ukrainians are actually much more advanced than Saddam's military. The relative difference between Ukraine and Russia is just half a generation to 1 generation versus almost 1.5 to 2 generations between the US and Iraq, and the Gulf War lasted 5 weeks, whereas you are passing judgements on Day 3 in Ukraine. And unlike the Iraqis, the Ukrainians are actually putting up a fight.

Er... That was already done to us. What has the US and EU done to China since Galwan? Only lip service.

In fact the US/EU inaction has made us aim for strategic autonomy much more decisively, pretty much killing any chances of an actual alliance. Right after the invasion began, our PM made a speech about self-reliance.

Russian generals have been over confident , so far

Even PLA was over confident in Galwan but they lost many more men

Since then there has been a stalemate

Infact they were forced to withdraw from Finger 4 to Finger 8 in Pangong Tso Area

"Fingers" are actually Mountainous peaks

And if you want to talk of Mountain Warfare , Remember Kargil

How we drove out the Pakistanis who had occupied the peaks in Winter when both sides used to Vacate the area

As far as PLA is concerned , they have not moved Forward Even ONE INCH from May 2020

Because we were able to Counter mobilise immediately

All their deployments and build ups are on their Side of LAC

Any disengagement has led to creation of Buffer zones and No Go Areas for both sides

We have NOT dropped our claims on the disputed territories

That is itself the Key Take away

Because China wanted India to accept their Claim lines which we have refused

Let China fire the FIRST artillery shell and then it will see hell
