The Abrams and Challengers are mostly symbolic but the Leopards should make a big difference. The training and supply and maintenance training to support 30 tanks is inefficient.

But they are all better than the current russian tanks (e.g., kill range, amour) and with Bradley, they should make a couple of great combined arms attack forces,

Ukraine’s Security Service uncovers suspected Russian spy in its ranks
by The Kyiv Independent news deskJanuary 26, 2023 2:33 pm

Ukraine’s Security Service (SBU) reported on Jan. 26 that they detained a lieutenant colonel in their ranks on suspicion of high treason.

The lieutenant colonel is accused of conducting intelligence operations and passing state secrets to Russian contacts. According to the SBU statement, he used his personal mobile phone to photograph documents with layout schemes of military checkpoints in Zaporizhzhia Oblast and sent the information via an email account registered on a Russian domain to Russian contacts.

Ukraine’s Security Service also seized mobile phones, SIM cards issued by Russian mobile carriers, cash, and other evidence during the suspect’s detention. Their investigation is ongoing.

They do not.

We're not Greece.

They do. You believe in the American Exceptionalism fantasy... We can do no wrong. :lol

[DMX7]

We didn't ship Iraqis to North Dakota and settle Iraq with hundreds of thousands of our own citizens.

You're really bad at comparisons tbh.

Irrelevant.

[DMX7]

The math isn't complicated, because should a NATO country get attacked, the US would need to get involved and possibly at much larger expense, and if you validate and give momentum to Russia, then that inevitably is going to happen, especially in countries like Latvia or Estonia.

No, it's not inevitable. It would be more likely but still highly unlikely. We live in a world where we have to manage risks and can't simply "buy out" all of them.

Might be thought of as a long term commitment as Russia and Ukraine expect this war to take years (this may be posturing from both sides as both would like it to end with circumstances in their favor) We are a ways from either side ready to stop given the current positions.

Right now, we've articulated no clear plan and no end game other than to just keep feeding Ukraine with weapons and money. Western countries don't seem to be totally united on what Ukraine "winning" even means. The only shot at success I see is for a total political collapse in Russia AND a new government that is stable and conciliatory. That doesn't seem likely. In fact, I would guess that Putin would use nukes before surrendering if he stays in power.

Untrue. The US has done plenty wrong. Supporting Ukraine is absolutely the right thing to do.

[pgardn]

Even if you agree with that, who really benefits more? Europe or USA? So who should be carrying the lion's share of the burden?

Europe is taking on a much larger burden. The percentage we are spending next to many European countries is much less. Overall spending, we spend the most. Which way do you think is best to look at it? And also as % of GDP or % of military spending.

Canada beats or ties us on both. We dont match most of the European countries % wise that are closer to the war and democratic. And then the numbers I have looked at do not count humanitarian aide, especially taking on people leaving Ukraine.

What numbers are you looking at? Just total?

We have no clear plan because the situation is fluid.
Our clear plan right now is to have Russia out of all of Ukraine.
To have Russian powers in charge who have committed crimes against civilians prosecuted.
Make compensatory payments for civilian infrastructure the Russians have ruined.
And to bring Russia back into the world economy once the above has been fulfilled.

You want an Afghanistan here? We just do half assed things and give up when its clear Ukraine has a good chance at pushing Russia off most of their land?

[ElNono]

No, it's not inevitable. It would be more likely but still highly unlikely. We live in a world where we have to manage risks and can't simply "buy out" all of them.

Of course it's inevitable, based on Russia's own claims and the fact that you'll be validating their position that they can't be dissuaded because they're a nuclear power.

And it's not a matter of "buying out". I don't think you understand what's at stake here, and your position would mean not learning the lessons we learned in WWII.

For example, sitting out the war until Pearl Harbor when the Nazis had control of half of Europe, and Japan had the balls to attack. What did it cost to enter the war then, in both economic and death terms?

There's a serious worldview shift at stake here, both in geopolitcal and economic terms. It affects from global trade to simple democracy.

Russia is simply a target of opportunity now. They're trying to become a superpower again, but their economy is simply too small and too reliant on energy exports. This is why Ukraine and their food production is of strategic importance to them.


Even if you agree with that, who really benefits more? Europe or USA? So who should be carrying the lion's share of the burden?

Well, obviously the US. Not only we keep our standing as the de-factor geopolitical power, but a muted Russia has economic implications as well, including our economic competition with China.

Unstable Russia is bad news for the region. I've seen and heard both sides from the locals. IMO is all this worth getting Ukraine into NATO? Every European has experienced a decline in quality of life.

If people think this will be some big domino (another collapse & regime change) I think you will be disappointed.

Nothing to do with getting Ukraine into NATO. The fact is that no European country, especially those that used to be part of Russia wants anything to do Russia, especially this version of Russia.

Europe has been postponing the inevitable. This Russia has been blackmailing them for a long time, it was long overdue that they cut their losses and move along.

They called Putler's bluff this time after being hesitant with Crimea, and Russia is the one that's going to suffer the consequences in the long term, because their economy is simply not that big, and without selling energy and burning money on the war it's only a matter of time until they fold.

I agree. But does this benefit the common man? Looks like politicians drawing a line. Sure EU was being exploited but now we will pay higher prices anyway. Thru the scope of European, seems some wanted to flex and make a name for themselves.

How does Russian resources being refocused to Asia help Europe? All this because Putin was being a meany pants about NATO.

The only winner here is USA. Many Slavs have always loved to die for westeners.

To end the War I would agree with Ukraine being NATO neutral. I honestly don't see the point other than financial.

Unless the underlining goal of NATO is to counter 1 nation in Europe.

BUT Russia must accept that Ukraine will sooner than later join the EU

[FrostKing]

Ukraine is currently not NATO and yet being flooded with support. What's the difference. This shit is symbolic at this point. We aren't going to forward their application and draw a do-or-die line at their Eastern border anyway.

But russia want those occupied regions. How do you solve that? Do you really think russians will stop and go home once ukraine agrees to stay neutral? I know that you doesn't follow what is going on in russia right now, but trust me, it ain't gonna happen. Theyare preparing for war and they are ready to go all the way if necessary, and that includes nuclear war. Their state media is preparing masses for that and russian people are cheering for that. It is complete alternative reality, very similar to that in 1984 book.

I understand. Short of total defeat there will continue to be skirmishes in the East, as there has. I get that argument that Russia needs to be drained. I hope it's the Ukranian people making such a decision and not politicians. The people are gone and cities following suit. They won't rebuild in our lifetime even if they join EU soon.

Russia won't stop though. If they lie and agree to cease fire but continue what would the West truly do?

Our map in the region has changed drastically. Ukraine is enormous by Slavic standards. At some point I would abandon some land in exchange for peace & rebuilding. Who truly has Ukrainians back beyond sending resources. They aren't the first or last in this position.

No one wanted Russia destabilized. Putin basically asked to be destabilized. What is wanted is a Russia that could join the world wide economy while attempting to accept human rights and getting rid of massive corruption that makes it unstable. A Russia that would work with economies not run by tyrants. Imo it is critical that after this war "we" reach some sort of solution Russia AND Ukraine can transition to non state run economies that are also free from massive corruption by wealthy vultures. Have a press that is not executed for criticizing the new states to be. Ukraine is already using this opportunity to rid itself of corruption. But once a vacuum is created, it get filled by what? Russia under Yeltsin got filled by Putin and cronies. This is the toughest ask in the long run imo.

The destruction of power yields the opportunity to heal a certain way. Ukraine is already underway with the healing imo. Russia has Wagner and corrupt businessmen/vigilantes that Putin is trying to keep happy. I personally much more worried about Russian. They need the right type of assistance with the right type of leaders and I dont know how it gets there. Their history suggests another strongman with cronies.

Putin asked for this.
Lets not mistake this with who is the victim afterwards. Recovery is going to require a lot of suffering and still has uncertain outcomes. Both countries do have the geography and mineral wealth to recover. Its going to take unselfish and more democratic leadership. Given history... very tough ask. (repeated for emphasis) imo

Dont even compare the two at this point in their careers.
Zelensky did NOT have a Soviet Union he lost as a KGB upper echelon man.
That is a completely ridiculous comparison. Putin has a LONG record.
Would you like a list of all the countries he has tried to swallow parts of since Yeltsin?

Putin is a strong man. Zelensky is in survival mode. After this is all over it remains to be seen what he does. The people Zelensky sacked so far have pretty clear records of why they were removed. Stealing money from the State. Plain and simple. Zelensky is going to have to navigate very difficult water if he survives. I expect someone else will be leader if this thing ends. Its not going to be easy. Putin made this war. It was not some sort of destiny. He did NOT have to do this.

Large-scale “purges” are taking place in the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Russian President Vladimir Putin continues to dismiss high-ranking employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. He fired five generals of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the VChK-OGP Telegram channel reported, citing the decree. Later, State Duma deputy Alexander Khinshtein confirmed the information.

The President of the Russian Federation dismissed the following officials:

Head of the Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia for the Tula Region, Major General Sergei Galkin;

Deputy Head of the Main Directorate for Migration of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia, Major General Dmitry Demidenko;

Deputy Head of the Main Directorate for Combating Extremism of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia, Major General Vladimir Makarov;

Head of the Internal Affairs Directorate for the North-Western Administrative District of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia for Moscow, Major General Anton Romeiko-Gurko;

Head of the Internal Affairs Directorate for the Western Administrative District of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia for Moscow, Police Major General Boris Sheinkin.

In addition, Putin appointed three police generals to positions in the occupied regions of Ukraine.

A Russian spy was caught in the middle of Ljubljana. This followed.

Last December, two people were arrested in the center of Ljubljana on suspicion of espionage. The operation was led by the District Prosecutor’s Office in Ljubljana based on a report from the Slovenian Intelligence and Security Agency (Sova). We have unofficially learned that both arrested persons are Russian spies.

“At the District State Prosecutor’s Office in Ljubljana, we received an announcement from the Slovenian Intelligence and Security Agency, on the basis of which pre-trial proceedings were initiated,” the Ljubljana Prosecutor’s Office answered when we asked whether a Russian spy had indeed been arrested in the Slovenian capital. “The criminal investigation has been legally initiated by the court’s decision and is ongoing. The court ordered the detention of both defendants, who were deprived of their liberty on December 5, 2022,” the prosecutor’s office explained, but they could not provide more information due to the confidentiality of the data.

Russians expected to go back on the offensive.
They appear to be putting Wagner and other rag tags units on notice that the Russian MoD will handle this by calling up more troops and trying to extend the conflict so the West gives in eventually.

Another thing that becomes clear upon reading:

The tanks and other fighting vehicles have come too late for a Ukraine Winter offensive and have given the Russians enough pause to get organized.
Not good. Maybe the Ukrainians can apply enough hurt on the Russian offensive to come and then have the tanks ready for their counter offensive in the summer.
I think this slow siphoning of weapons into Ukraine may just get more of Ukraine ruined and more people on the whole dying on both sides. This will allow Russia to add more troops into the conflict to die. If our motive was to prolong the war and add to the death and destruction we might be successful. If the Ukrainians had tanks on the ready to move South and or East this Winter the war might have been essentially over faster and let negotiations begin.

A Ukrainian soldier abandoned by his comrades in Kleshcheevka said that during mobilization he was promised service at the local military enlistment office - instead he was sent to the "Bakhmut meat grinder".

Yevhen Klimenko, a soldier of the 57th BMPBr, was thrown into the most difficult part of the front without proper training. When the situation becomes critical, the unit commander leaves his subordinates and his posts.

The Ukrainian very much regrets having gone to war, asks forgiveness from relatives who tried to dissuade him.

Of course Hater is the dunce who still has Lavrov “the squashed by NATO toad” begging tiny countries to be on his side.

I am interested to see what happens in a few months when the training for the Marders, Bradleys, Leopards, and Abrams finish. When the training for HIMARS completed it changed the complexion of the war. Artillery first now for the ground game. Air power is the only thing left.

One thing is certain. NATO would smoke Russia in a conventional war.

I agree that nazism should be opposed. that is why I support Ukraine. Putin's rhetoric using Russian speaking people as an excuse to invade is precisely the rhetoric Hitler used In Mein Kampf to justify his actions in Austria, Czechoslovakia, and Poland. Add in the single party autocracy and the pseudo privitization of industry is also starkly similar to that era of Germany.

I take that as a systemic problem as opposed to controversial regiment that was obliterated in Mariupol.

[pgardn]

It appears that Russian lack of being able to produce competent ground forces requires that they mass very large forces at specific major points which are easily identified. The problem is they greatly outnumber better equipped but not fully equipped Ukrainian ground forces. More reports coming in that Russia will again mass forces in Bahkmut and a few other specific spots. The Russians will be easy to kill in large numbers but hard to stop. Most reports say the delay in Western equipment will require a Ukrainian counter offensive delaying to Spring-Summer. This is becoming a fairly consistent prediction for this point in time.

I wonder where our ST man (Deadly Dynasty) in Ukraine is? What he is hearing in his particular area…

France was able to triple Caesar howitzer’s production rates.

A few months ago, this rate of manufacturing of Caesar artillery guns was thought to be nearly impossible.

However, under pressure from the French Ministry of the Armed Forces, the situation changed quite radically. Nexter, the company that manufactures the famous Caesar self-propelled guns, now cranks out six completely new units in just a single month.

While Putin allows Wagner to pull people off the streets and just send in human waves of troops.
The death toll of soldiers from both sides is not even close. Russia gets the award.
So Russian strikes civilians to get even because they know the meat grinder is very costly for Russia.

Summer tanks and personnel carriers along with new artillery and longer range missiles will only enhance the Russian dead.
If Russia does not take significant ground and cities before spring its gonna be a longer costlier war. Putin might not outlive the worst effects of one of the stupidest European wars of all time. And hater's Avatar Toad will have already died of lung cancer.

I dont doubt this happens in places in Ukraine. Its desperate. They are fighting for their own country. This also could be an intervention of a spy or sympathizer. This also happens in war. A war that Russia started.

But now take a look at Russia.
They are using prisoners, people from far parts of the region that are ethnically different. To fight a war in a FOREIGN country.
Putting them on the front line so that they get shot at so that their artillery can locate Ukrainian positions. Fodder, pure fodder.
But its hard to get those scenes on camera now. Wonder why? We have a fledgling democracy vs. an authoritarian butcher.
All the rights people are supposed to have in a democracy become tenuous in a war for survival.

So when you try to make comparisons its obvious you suck the dick of Putin just like you did with Assad.
You cant possibly be outraged when you are such a slimy hypocrite of a human being.

Ukrainian officials say that they almost never launch HIMARS rounds without detailed coordinates provided by U.S. military personnel situated elsewhere in Europe.

Ukrainian officials said they require coordinates provided or confirmed by the United States and its allies for the vast majority of strikes using its advanced U.S.-provided rocket systems, a previously undisclosed practice that reveals a deeper and more operationally active role for the Pentagon in the war.

The senior Ukrainian official described the targeting process, generally: Ukrainian military personnel identify targets they want to hit, and in which location, and that information is then sent up to senior commanders, who then relay the request to U.S. partners for more accurate coordinates. The Americans do not always provide the requested coordinates, the official said, in which case the Ukrainian troops do not fire.

Ukraine could carry out strikes without U.S. help, but because Kyiv doesn’t want to waste valuable ammunition and miss, it usually chooses not to strike without U.S. confirmation, the official said, adding that there are no complaints about the process.

Blowing Holes in Seymour Hersh's Pipe Dream
...
As the operation commences, Hersh states that Norway was chosen as the obvious partner. This entails bringing the Norwegian Navy and Secret Service in on the details of the mission, as they will play a key part in carrying out the operation. This is the same mission where Biden still holds secrecy as the top priority and does not want the “Gang of Eight” or members of Congress to catch wind of the plan for fear of leaks.

During his introduction of Norway, Hersh makes a very strange remark about NATO General Secretary Jens Stoltenberg implying that he has worked directly with the US intelligence community since the Vietnam War. Jens Stoltenberg was born March 16th 1959. The US involvement in the Vietnam War ended April 30th 1975, meaning Jens had just turned 16 when Saigon fell to the PAVN troops. I doubt Jens Stoltenberg was a US intelligence asset in his early teens.

Ukrainians are clever and russians are dumb shit!

Russian tanks keep running into Ukrainian mines outside Vuhledar. Either the Russians are getting sloppy, or the Ukrainians have tweaked their minelaying tactics.

More likely, both.

Indeed, there are indications the Ukrainians have adopted a clever new method of laying mines. Ukrainian gunners wait until Russian troops clear a path through an old minefield—then toss fresh mines onto that same path right as the Russians are crossing.

This tactic appears to be on display around Vuhledar—a town with a pre-war population of just 14,000 that lies a couple of miles north of Russian-held Pavlivka, 25 miles southwest of Donetsk in eastern Ukraine’s Donbas region.

The pattern is familiar. Armored vehicles roll in neat lines across the fields and forests between Russian-occupied Pavlivka and Vuhledar. The lead tank hits a mine and explodes. The rest of the column falls into disarray. Some vehicles try to go around the wrecked lead vehicle, only themselves to run into mines. Even retreat is dangerous: there might be mines behind the column, too.

Specifically, two types of mines. 1)The Soviet TM-62 and the American Remote Anti-Armor Mine system. The 21-pound TM-62 is your traditional mine: a big metal disk, packed with explosives and fitted with one of several fuze types. The pressure fuze might be the most popular. Engineers bury TM-62s by hand or speed up the operation by deploying a GMZ minelaying vehicle.

2)The Remote Anti-Armor Mine system is a pack of four-pound mines stacked nine apiece in a hollow 155-millimeter artillery shell. A few well-aimed volleys can scatter scores of the tiny mines—each with a magnetic fuze—across a wide area. The United States late last year donated to Ukraine 6,000 RAAM shells.

Exclusive: Ex-Russian military bomber engineer seeks asylum at U.S. border, offers military secrets

...

The man and his family arrived in an armored SUV and asked to be admitted into the U.S. because he feared persecution for participating in anti-Putin protests in support of Alexei Navalny, an imprisoned Russian dissident. He then told CBP officials that he had information wanted by the U.S. government.

He said he was a civil engineer and that “his past employment had included working ... from 2018 to 2021 in the making of a particular type of military airplane at the Tupolev aircraft production facility in the city of Kazan in west-central Russia,” according to a Jan. 11 unclassified CBP report obtained by Yahoo News.

“He described the aircraft type as ‘an attack jet’ and said it ‘was called White Swan-TU160, the largest military aircraft.’”

Strelkov, also known as Igor Girkin, added on Telegram that “a lot of good T-72B3/T-80BVM tanks and the best paratroopers and marines were liquidated.”

In another post on Telegram, Strelkov wrote: “Only morons attack head-on in the same place, heavily fortified and extremely inconvenient for the attackers for many months in a row.”

Excellent interview with one of UKR's main arty commanders.

https://wartranslated.com/pravda-com-ua-interview-ukrainian-colonel-oleh-faydyuk/

One thing that stood out to me was that he specifically noted the number of IT professionals called up into the armed forces for helping to keep the unit organized, and responsive.

Another: Time on target is five minutes or so from request. Tight decision loops and high quality precision western munitions are wrecking the russian "army".

Mission parity has been achieved, meaning one UKR fire mission for each RUS fire mission. RUS has now lost its artillery advantage.

Given the precision of UKRs munitions, and the speed which it can reaction to fire missions, the edge there seems to be firmly in UKRs favor. Further supporting this is just the reports of RUS gun barrels just wearing the fuck out and becoming much less accurate.

Hackers linked to Russia got very close to being able to take a dozen U.S. electric and gas facilities offline in the first weeks of the war in Ukraine, the head of a top cybersecurity company warned Tuesday.

Robert M. Lee, the founder and CEO of Dragos, which helps companies respond to cyberattacks, said hackers with a group Dragos calls “Chernovite” were using a malicious software to try to take down “around a dozen” U.S. electric and liquid natural gas sites.

“This is the closest we’ve ever been to having U.S. or European infrastructure, I’d say U.S. infrastructure, go offline,” Lee told reporters in a briefing. “It wasn’t employed on one of its targets, they weren’t ready to pull the trigger, they were getting very close.” Lee declined to offer details on what prevented the attack from succeeding, but said it was halted by a coalition of U.S. government and cyber industry groups.



While the U.S. government disclosed last year that the new malware — called PIPEDREAM — was capable of infiltrating U.S. industrial control systems across multiple key sectors, Lee’s comments suggest that the danger was more acute than officials had disclosed. And his disclosure offers a new picture of the U.S. energy supply’s vulnerability to a crippling cyber assault — a possibility that had drawn widespread concern during the run-up to Russian President Vladimir Putin’s February 2022 invasion.

Lee described the malware as a “state-level, wartime capability.” He did not say if the malware had actually been installed in the targeted networks or if the hackers were just close to getting into the systems.https://www.politico.com/news/2023/02/14/russia-malware-electric-gas-facilities-00082675

Putin is staring at defeat in his gas war with Europe

There's more bad news for Vladimir Putin. Europe is on course to get through winter with its vital gas storage facilities more than half full, according to a new European Commission assessment seen by POLITICO.

That means despite the Russian leader's efforts to make Europe freeze by cutting its gas supply, EU economies will survive the coldest months without serious harm — and they look set to start next winter in a strong position to do the same.

A few months ago, there were fears of energy shortages this winter caused by disruptions to Russian pipeline supplies.

But a combination of mild weather, increased imports of liquefied natural gas (LNG), and a big drop in gas consumption mean that more than 50 billion cubic meters (bcm) of gas is projected to remain in storage by the end of March, according to the Commission analysis.

A senior European Commission official attributed Europe’s success in securing its gas supply to a combination of planning and luck.

“A good part of the success is due to unusually mild weather conditions and to China being out of the market [due to COVID restrictions],” the official said. “But demand reduction, storage policy and infrastructure work helped significantly."

Ending the winter heating season with such healthy reserves — above 50 percent of the EU’s roughly 100bcm total storage capacity — removes any lingering fears of a gas shortage in the short term. It also eases concerns about Europe’s energy security going into next winter.

The positive figures underlie the more optimistic outlook presented by EU leaders in recent days, with Energy Commissioner Kadri Simson saying on Tuesday that Europe had “won the first battle” of the “energy war” with Russia.
