I dunno, believing Ukraine took tons of explosives from a river bank 1 mile away is special.

The bulges only indicate where the line of contact is, meaning the UAF has not breached the line of contact yet.
And how did they detonate it under water and where were they at the time? RF signals don't travel under water, so you're saying an antennae was sticking up without the Russians noticing that either, as well as not noticing several tons of explosive being dragged across the Dnipro and put there in the first place. And they didn't have any EW jamming....

So youre saying underwater detonations are not possible without RF, but we can still lay internet cables underwater?

Even heard of sound? Pun intended.
 
Are you saying that Russia still has some secret weapons and is unwilling to use them on the battlefield?😂😂😂😂

SEAD/DEAD requires showing off some capabilities that are not easily replaced, particularly in the EM spectrum. PAF suffered with the same problem after Balakot strikes, they are now in the process of buying new EW equipment that was compromised in 2019. It takes roughly 5-10 years to fully replace compromised systems.

Then there's also special formations and flying tactics. They haven't used attack helicopters for the SEAD mission as well.

Overall, they have only used less reliable standoff attacks against SAM targets.

Nope, they've recaptured several settlements if you follow the posts, breaching the 2nd line of defence in places. The sort of progress that took Russia weeks to achieve at Bakhmut.

You can, if you want to run that cable all the way to the far bank.

Ever heard of Occam's Razor? Occam's Razor says that Russia did it.

Yeah, sure, Russia is seeing tens of thousands of it's troops die and spending billions instead of using its best SEAD/EW capability?

Another Russian freight train derailed.


 
It is obvious that the war between Russia and Ukraine is leading the world to a new Cold War, which China does not want to see

That's to China's benefit. A cold war is associated with the rise of a competing power. This war benefits the US, the most followed by China.

China has the same access to Russia's resources as India does. And the de-dollarisation process gives the greatest importance to CNY. And while Europe has become more dependent on the US, Russia's become more dependent on China. And India is too poor to balance US and China for both Europe and Russia.
Because India bought a lot of cheap oil from Russia and paid them with useless coin that they can only spend in India.

It's just temporary, and it's not a lot of money yet.
 
From a Russian channel -

Another panorama of the defeated column of the Armed Forces of Ukraine with a cemetery of Western-made armored vehicles. At least three M2A2 ODS Bradleys were completely burned out and even theoretically could not be evacuated to the rear for repairs.

- As the Military Informant channel writes, without the presence of mine trawls and demining installations (UR), such trips to minefields will end the same way. However, neither one nor the other is a panacea today

- The main problem of SD is the relatively small width and depth of the passage, insufficient to form a safe corridor for the passage of armored vehicles. It is typical for both the Soviet UR-77 and Western models, like the M58 MICLIC.

- At the same time, the disadvantage of many mine trawls is their impressive mass, which can reach as much as almost 8 tons. This greatly reduces the speed of the tanks and their maneuverability, as a result of which the entire column is forced to move much more slowly and become an easier target for aircraft, artillery and anti-tank systems.

- So the issue of overcoming minefields during an offensive is very relevant today both for the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation and the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and for any even the most advanced other armies in the world. At the moment, virtually no one has effective means of demining.

Should have bought a few hundred mine ploughs with each tank.

Yes, but @LX1111's point was that India has benefited the most from this war and that's probably true.

US > China. All others are losers. Cheaper resources for India is just a consolation price.

What was in India's interests is stronger relations between Europe and Russia. The opposite hurts us a lot, because now Russia has to deal with 3 military competitors now, tying their hands when it comes to India.

Lol, you yourself keep claiming China will force Russia to shut off the tap to India.

3 vehicles and 500 casualties... :ROFLMAO:

Look up the fortifications map. They haven't even crossed the line of contact yet.

Ever heard of Occam's Razor? Occam's Razor says that Russia did it.

And they also destroyed their own defences and killed their own troops and shut off water supply to their own province and destroyed their biggest foothold in the region in the process? And what do the Russians gain, UAF lines still remain intact, no one died on the Ukrainian side and Ukraine gets shallower water to attack from? How does this go again? Occam's Razor, eh?

Yeah, sure, Russia is seeing tens of thousands of it's troops die and spending billions instead of using its best SEAD/EW capability?

They don't need SEAD/DEAD when they already have air superiority over the battlefront.

The blue line in the 3rd image is the first line of contact.

They have dude, even the 2nd line in one place.

You can't attack across a wide silt bed regardless of whether there's water on it. Occam's Razor says the simplest explanation is right. Russian was in control of the dam, only it had access, it was easiest for it to blow the dam. It did it to divert Ukrainian resources at the moment the counter-offensive began. Your shallower water argument would require an actual assault from that direction to back it up, there is none, therefore you are unequivocally wrong.
They don't need SEAD/DEAD when they already have air superiority over the battlefront.
How come they've lost so many aircraft then? Why are they using expensive cruise missiles to attack Ukrainian cities instead of bombs. They only have air parity over the battlefront, they poke a bit and the run.

Nope, the entire red area was Russian controlled territory.

Cheaper resources and massive oil laundering payoff.

But you hate Europe and the West anyway, so why would you care about that?

They will when it comes to conflict, in the mean time you get to profit.

Likely a translation balls-up.

Did Pakistan lose ECM facilities in 2019? India just hit some houses on the border, standoff weapons will be the primary means of future major SEAD missions, like the AGM 88G increasing its range or using cruise missiles to stay empty for long periods time

If you want any relations between Europe and Russia you need the Russian military out of Ukraine, because there will never be any relations whilst it's there.
