Ukraine - Russia Conflict

As per Dimitri Rogozin the real push is yet to begin . There are about 600 tanks of Ukraine around Orekhov , and there are more numbers of infantry fighting vehicles positioned . And this morning Ukraine with massive artillery strikes managed to occupy several positions of Russian troops in Orekhov- Tokmak direction . So there is more action to come . And if only Ukriane had better aviation support , things cld have been even more favourable to them . (info from From Russian sources )

Not sure about those numbers.

The current official Pentagon released estimate is 250+ tanks and 800+ IFVs and APCs in 9 brigades.

5 brigades are at the front, but 2 or 3 are yet to make a move, and 4 are in reserve.
 
Why US/NATO was hesitant back then?

They thought Russia will conquer Ukraine quickly, so they trained Ukr troops to fight an insurgency. It was totally retarded to believe Ukr will not defend itself.

Had the Europeans agreed to the Minsk agreement and armed Ukraine at the same time, they would have avoided war. Ukraine only needed money for its army, supported by Western aircraft and air defences.

It wasn't that totally retarded I mean Afghans didn't want to fight for their country and to some extent Iraqis were the same. Remember we were told there was a big percentage of Ukrainians that were not necessary pro Russian but didn't hate them either.

It's understandable.

C'mon do it now, Su-35S is eagerly waiting with R-37M;)

Oh hunny to date only one UKR Flanker has been downed by the supposed R37M and that claim came from Russia while the rest they fire keep falling inside Ukraine littering it. R37M's are made for fatso yankee aircraft like AWACS and tankers and have a really hard time hitting fighters especially when the pilot knows it has an inbound. Poor sweety you've been watching a lot of DCS havencha?

Because the whole world bought the narrative that Russia was some sort of conventional military power when reality is they are no better than Saddam's Republican Guards.

US & Germany/Eu are very slow in giving approval for fighter jets & tanks respectively.
I mean after some time it was clear that Ukraine is determined to defend, approval for fighter jets & tanks, ammunition should have been expedited.

Come on! Even after Ukraine proved that they will be defending US/GER/EU many times have shown lethargy in making time sensitive decisions. Like GER blocking leopard tanks, etc and US denying himars and f-16.

I read that number twice as well . But Dmitry Rogozin is former director general of Roscomos . His exact statement -

The enemy has not yet thrown tank wedges into battle: a serious threat of a powerful offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine remains This was stated by Dmitry Rogozin, who is at the front with a group of military advisers. “I do not share the joyful reports about the “defeat of the enemy”. Yes, we repulsed the first attack. Yes, well done. But the enemy has not yet introduced the main forces of the breakthrough, primarily large tank wedges, has not driven them into our forward positions. And they are only in the vicinity of Orekhov in the most tank-dangerous direction - about 600 tanks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, not counting the infantry fighting vehicles. Therefore, it is too early to rejoice, gentlemen. First, let's win, and only then we will "throw caps into the air."

 
Amazing to see your propaganda failing each time. Try hard fella!
Yeah, of course. But Russian media calls for war crimes continuously and then denies them, and then accuses Ukraine of them. That's not even good propaganda and yet you buy it.

Oh, we've invaded to stop the terrible Nazis who we allied with from 1939-1941, land access to Sevastopol has nothing to do with it.
Just brotherly love fella, something wokes like you don't get;) Plus enjoying Random kicking your a** with facts in every post. Try harder with your counter offensive just like Ukronazis only to fail every time:ROFLMAO:
What facts? Moving tons explosives with giant balloons 1 mile underwater into well guarded enemy territory overlooked by drones and underwater defences instead of the other side simply driving them in? That's not a fact, it's clutching at straws.

Anyway, the longer India allows Russia to drag the war on for, the stronger their difficult neighbour will become.

China is undoubtedly the loser in this war, Europe and the United States are getting closer, Russia is severely weakened, India should be one of the winners, Bought a lot of cheap oil from Russia
#warproduction :unsure:
[Russia] To solve the shortage of spare parts for the An-24 and An-26 aircraft, the idea of buying them from China, where an analogue of these aircraft has been produced, is being discussed. Russia needs the IL-114-300 and the TVRS-44 Ladoga quickly.
China has only produced part of AN-12. No An-24 and No An-26
 
Oy vey. This is a heavy recon/probe attack on just about all fronts using Hummers, M113s, Mastiff-PPV, MRAPS and 2-4 LeoA4s for security, mine clearing/rolling and their thermal optics.

These lightweight forces are making gains.

It's going to be like Kherson where it took weeks to brake the lines but once Ukraine did Russia started running. They are estimating Ukraine may lose a whole brigade penetrating the Russian lines which is waaaay less what Russia suffered when they went on the offensive.

These are the folks that will make the way for the heavy hitters (Bradleys, CV-90s, Marders, Chally-2, Leo-2A5/6s, Strykers and oother heavy armor) and will suffer heavily. Losing M113s, MRAPS, Hummers and Martiffs in quantity is acceptable as they break the lines and can easily be replaced.
There's been movement around Bakhmut too.

The R-37M's Pk is lower than that of an AIM-4.

Consider Russia as a small child being fed, and NATO weapons as the food. If you feed them too fast they will throw up and shit everywhere, so they have to be fed in step-by-step in small chunks.
 
Lol, official Ukrainian pilots have said that they fear R-37M. Also, R-77M is now in serial production. Su-35S and Su-30SM will hunt down Vipers just like that. F-16s and F-18s won't even realize what hit 'em, lol. Russians have also destroyed Patriots and IRIS-T SAMs. Even Leopards are getting blown.

Good luck to Vipers, Hornets and Eagles against Super Flankers. They are going to need all of 'em.

The R 37 is too wide for his motility. I met a man on YouTube called himself the Russian Air Force. He said the R 37 only shot down an Su-24

From the horse's mouth:

Another concerning new Russian weapon is the very long-range R-37M (AA-13 Axehead) air-to-air missile, carried by the Su-35S and MiG-31BM Foxhound-C. This weapon wasn’t used in the first months of the war, but appeared during the summer and, in Juice’s words, is “*censored*ing dangerous.” The very long reach of the R-37M — reportedly 124 miles — can threaten Ukrainian aircraft even when fired from well within Russian airspace.


But still, it is limiting our capabilities to conduct our missions. Of course, if you’re maneuvering, we are not able to provide an airstrike or something else, so the game is still very, very, very tough in the air and very, very risky. If you’re not aware of the launch of a missile, you’re dead.”

R-37M is forcing Ukrainian pilot to fly low and dive in order to avoid it. You can't gain air superiority if enemy forces you defensive. So in that regard Su-35S combo with R-37M is doing a perfect job. Plus, as I said R-77M is now under serial production. It has 200kms range, dual-pulse solid rocket motor and AESA seeker. Once US/NATO decide to send those F-16s/F-18s to Ukraine, Russians would use R-77M to destroy these US fighters.
