God bless technology sometimes. I remember when I was in grade 6 and google translate for French was a dumpster fire and I got an D using it.
Ukraine - Russia Conflict
- Thread starter randomradio
- Start date
Our Situation is totally different from Russia
We have no territorial ambitions
Even if we push Pakistan Army slightly back , and occupy some territory for some time , it will only be to Humiliate them
And if There is war with Pakistan
Then Entire Border from LOC to Kutch will be activated so as to stretch the Pakistan Army
Here Russians are only concentrating on few cities so the defenders know their points and places where to attack

All civilians in #Kiev can freely leave the capital of Ukraine along the Kyiv-Vasilkov highway. This direction is open and safe

Lol. Kiev just lifted its curfew and not surprising Kharkiv has become a fail for Russian forces.
At some point they need to take him out.
If Ukraine had a little bit more capability that 3 mile long convoy north of Ukraine that is still static would have taken a severe beating. But then again Ukraine is more than likely waiting for it to get closer before they hit it with arty, Javs, NLAWS and drones.
Oh boy. Another possible disaster this time for Belarus. More cannon fodder
This is going to be a disaster for Belarus soldiers they are even less capable than their failing Russian allies.
I wonder how many Belarus soldiers will fight since Belarussians and Ukrainians have had good relations with each other.

Lol. Leave it to Indian blogger to post BS for Russia. Russia doesn't have full control of Ukrainian airspace.
Quiet night in Ukraine capital even as Russia tensions flare
By YURAS KARMANAU, JIM HEINTZ, VLADIMIR ISACHENKOV and DASHA LITVINOVA12 minutes agoMoscow has so far failed to win full control of Ukraine’s airspace, despite advances across the country. U.S. officials say they believe the invasion has been more difficult, and slower, than the Kremlin envisioned, though that could change as Moscow adapts.
Russian forces shell Ukraine's No. 2 city and menace Kyiv
Russian forces are shelling Ukraine’s second-largest city, rocking a residential neighborhood, and closing in on the capital, Kyiv, in a 40-mile convoy of hundreds of tanks and other vehicles.

From France (Army): France is the framework nation of the Nato Response Force 2022, which includes a “Very high readiness joint task force” (VJTF) able to deploy within 2-7 days.
French battalion in Romania: Belgium to send 300 soldiers (updated [sunday])
In addition, Belgium said it was supplying Kiev with 2,000 machine guns and 3,800 tonnes of fuel.
The battalion for which France will be the framework nation will soon be created. In the meantime, 500 French soldiers will be deployed [are deploying] in Romania as part of the NATO VJTF. Among them are 200 men from the 27th Alpine Hunter Battalion [mountain infantry], based in Annecy, who will leave for Romania on Monday. The last time the 27th BCA was mobilised in Eastern Europe was during the First World War, in Poland.
(…)
Another Alpine unit that will provide elements: the 4th regiment of chasseurs [light armoured reg.] from Gap. A squadron of the regiment, that is to say more than a hundred men and their logistical support will head for Romania.

I can't see the decision being reversed, the EU knows now that it's already become too dependent on Russian gas. Plus the sale of GFCH will be banned in 2030 anyway, so demand will drop off a cliff.
Russia is about to get even poorer.
I can see Russia not being in the 2022 World Cup either. FIFA either wants the rest of Europe in it, or wants Russia, those are its choices.

One of the biggest shortcoming seen with RuAF over the Ukrainian skies is lack of a credible AWACS/ AEW&C. The has denied the Russians a measure of air supremacy critically needed for the invasion. The skies are still contested with Ukr popping out hidden AD assets #WARINUKRAINE

@randomradio see, how important is awacs in battlefield. The Desi weapon lobby & DRDO did a good job for pakistan and China by sabotaging follow on phalcon purchase.
United States in its latest travel advisory tells its citizens in Ukraine that it won’t be able to evacuate them during this crisis.

India has also ready rescued over 469 Indian citizens from Ukraine and almost 15000 more to go in coming days.

First we have a bunch of hutiyas as our countrymen who come hell or highwater keep scratching their backsides when common sense dictates they should've tried to get the hell out a long time ago.
Then they send heart rending messages on SM requesting / demanding they be evacuated which MSM duly amplifies. This is duly picked up by the opposition to raise cain back home. Then the MEA swings into action launches it's rescue mission & hogs the limelight.
I've lost count of the number of times it's occurred in the past 8 yrs.

well it looks like @randomradio was correct. The last two days despite the heavy ambushes have been about logistical regrouping.

Talks are happening, so they halted escalation as well.
Trust me, that's not a problem with the new jets. And the army is still using their upgraded Cold War era stuff at this time. Availability isn't a problem for their brand new air force.
The Russian Ghost divisions.
Russian units are not fighting as BTGs. They’re not doing combined arms warfare. They’re driving down roads in small detachments, pushing recon and VDV units forward. Tanks without infantry. It’s not going well for them because this isn’t how they organize and fight (more later). https://t.co/5AibDoyUmL

Outside of the fighting NW of Kyiv we have a lot of smaller detachments, tanks, IFVs, often recon or VDV units pressing down roads & into cities. Often small formations outrunning logistics, without support, or letting support getting ambushed - its a mess.
— Michael Kofman (@KofmanMichael) February 27, 2022
Yeah, no clue what they up to.
Um, we use British organisation and tactics, which have since morphed into our own. There indeed is nothing for us to learn.
For example, we use 12 tank squads versus 10 tank Russian squads, the organisation, formation and training for it is completely different. And we send more than enough infantry to support a tank squad.
We also use squadrons with 18 jets instead of regiments with 24 jets.
We don't even have the same doctrine. All we do is operate Russian stuff the way NATO operates their Western stuff. So does Pakistan.
