Ukraine’s Top Military Leadership: We Are Starting to Win, Russia Is Starting to Lose
-
Trump is ditching them because he's Russia bitch, no other reason. Regardless of Ukraine's chances, Trump has the approximate strategic understanding of a particularly inbred aristocrat's particularly inbred toy dog.
-
They can't win? Why not? Russia does not have much left. We are already at the point of buggies, motorcycles and straight up walking to the front line. Oh and donkeys, that's where they are.

Defense Minister Ruslan Umerov said 96% of all drones fielded by the Ukrainian military are domestically manufactured. Syrsky said during 2024, Ukrainian drone producers delivered more than 1.3 million robot aircraft to the armed forces. About 85% of all Russian casualties and vehicle kills on the battlefield are scored by Ukrainian drones, Malyuk said.
Very interesting to see the statistics. I always assumed drones were doing the most damage but it’s nice to have a number confirm this.
-
Nah, Trump has a lot of experience carrying losers. Ukrainians are not suckers or crooks - that's the actual reason.
-
Yeah. This entire conflict has had a certified MGS4 „War has changed” vibe to it since the very beginning.
-
One side has resorted to donkeys for logistics and importing North Korean footsoldiers.
Yeah, sounds like they're winning /s
-
Hey, they took a wheat field last week!! Only 17.000 losses and a hundred tanks!
/s (almost not sarcastic as that's actually how it goes)
Russia is not only startung to crumble militarily but also economically and they are already over as a world power.
-
They would prefer to have more artillery, though. In case-by-case evaluations (e.g. enemy tank formation spotted maneuvering at comparable distance), it often takes a much longer time (e.g. over an hour vs. some minutes) to neutralize the same kind of an opponent with drones. And in some weather, they don't fly.
-
Trump's ditching them because he's got Putin's arm so deep up his arse he can taste his deodorant.
-
This war is a sample of what all major conflicts between industrialized nations are going to look like from now on. Even more utterly horrific for the average soldier. Death from above at any moment without warning, fuzzy front lines, the whole thing.
-
From the Kyivpost supported 100% by USAid funds. This is 100% propaganda and untrue by the same %. This doesn't belong in any news group.
-
The flip side of that flips side is that stationary artillery is now obsolete. Drones force the issue where you need to be able to take your shot and GTFO.
-
Equipment, too. The US DoD was looking at a new tank, but axed it. They don't exactly give out their reasons why, but a good guess is they saw what drones were doing in Ukraine and decided the design would have been obsolete before the first one came off the assembly line.
-
Lol if you think Trump has any clue about military standing of anyone.
-
I hope trump is not going to start sending support to Putin
-
You're completely delusional if you think Trump is ditching them for that reason. They could be winning completely and he'd still ditch them. He's in bed with putin. That's why he's ditching them.
-
Hardkill APS seems to be less relevent these days for tanks aswell, if it even triggers on a drone there's no help for the next 10 that show up.
Tanks will probably never become totally irrelevant but it will be hard to justify their price when drone swarms seem to be the future.
-
The Kyiv Post is the oldest English news publication of Ukraine. They've been reporting for almost 30 years now.
And FYI, the USAid funds have been cancelled for all independent media in Ukraine.
-
From what I hear, they don't always bother - if it's a towed artillery piece, the circus of moving it is allegedly more dangerous than staying holed up.
They dig their gun into a wooded area, put lots of antidrone nets overhead, keep ammunition far away in diverse locations, and don't stay near the piece when they aren't using it. If a drone comes, there's a chance it gets caught in the nets or detonates prematurely. If it hits, there is a decent chance that the gun can be fixed. If anther battery starts trying to hit it, they hit back.
-
It's still a biased source and promotes false narratives. Nothing I said is incorrect. You seem to be a very aggressive Ukrainian supporter and not aware of facts.
