Ukraine’s Top Military Leadership: We Are Starting to Win, Russia Is Starting to Lose
-
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.
-
They are coffins on tracks now. The tank, the warship, the aircraft carrier. All exceptionally vulnerable to $10k drones and thus: all obsolete. Until some sort of anti-drone minigun on AI enters service, the tank sits, the warship barely floats, and the aircraft carrier is 500km away.
But: attaching some sort of infrared and visible spectrum 360 camera to a processing unit isn't beyond the pale already. It won't be long until these units are all back in action. Stealth drones already? Hypersonic missiles? Good old fashioned AT launchers? Reactive armour? Spaced hulls? Laser interception? Gauss canons?
We're in an accelerated arms race right now indeed
-
No way, the Ukrainian Newspaper is not biased towards Russia? Who could've guessed? Bias does not equal false narratives.
Funny coming from a totally non-suspicious 1 day old Lemmy account.
-
The gap in US funding/equipment will need to be plugged at least to sone extent. Say what you want about Biden, that was a serious faucet
-
Honestly if he did it would rip the Republican Party apart lol
-
No exaggeration, Russia is issuing donkeys and mules (yes actual pack animals) to soldiers for transporting supplies because vehicles are in short supply.
-
The news zine is supported by US government money; therefore they represent what the Biden Administration narrative was and is. Funny how they never mentioned that they themselves were recipients of USAid when they reported on USAid being cut off. A lot of delusional people out there, and we're not being fooled anymore by this propaganda. Also stop trying to through the messenger under the bus. There is no way in hell that Ukraine is winning, they're losing ground daily. Stop the B$ and delusions.
-
Doubtful. They've shown beyond a reasonable doubt that nothing matters to them except blind loyalty to T. Nothing. Their own lives are meaningless before him, and his whims define their every breath. If he started shipping troops and guns to Russia, Republicans would be right there, fervently cheering him on.
-
If they all weren't a bunch of cowards, they would have stood up to him already.
-
The true believers REALLY don’t want American intervention and the “old guard” have already pushed back against supporting Russia multiple times.
They’re feckless but they’re not of the same mind on this.
