  • This stuff is tame compared to the footage in the reddit combat footage. I know one thing, I would not want to be in Ukraine period.

    You should see some of the Telegram channels. I'm posting a small portion of the stuff I come across each day as a community service thing to help people have a balanced feel of how the war is going.


    I'll add, by all means, anyone else is encouraged to post up stuff, ask questions and discuss. It's fine to disagree as long as the thread does not turn into a shit show.

    \uD83C\uDDFA\uD83C\uDDE6 Ukraine General Staff published the direction of the main Russian offensive - that is Kupiansk, Lyman, Bakhmut, Avdiivka, Novopavlivka (Vuhledar) - it is slowly starting with regrouping in the rear, creation of 2nd and 3rd echelons, creation of rear reserves and headquarters…

    …at depth of 90km (to stay out of HIMARS range for now).

    There will be no offensive on Kyiv, and none of the western embassies is considering evacuation. Some provocations in the north are possible, but there are no forces to reach even 5km depth.

    ?? Bakhmut:



    Rogue reports of \uD83C\uDDFA\uD83C\uDDE6 Ukraine forces doing counterattacks today near road Konstantynivka-Bakhmut in direction of Klishchiivka did push back at some locations. There is maneuver defense.

    Bakhmut positions are ideal for grinding enemy forces, Russia is taking incredible losses. From a military perspective, one or two such positions are totally worth it.

    It may be the largest single refusal of Russian troops in the war, and the group is among the alleged "new, better, and longer trained" mobiks

    SpaceX President said that they are fine with using Starlinks by Ukrainian military for comms, and they are not fine with their product being used in offense.



    We have checked and everything works as usual with the units we support, they can still use Starlink for communications.

    @dim0kq also highlighted that \uD83C\uDDFA\uD83C\uDDE6 only uses Starlink for defense purposes.



    Ukraine is not an aggressor, and according to international law is free to strike any target in Ukraine for purpose of defending itself.

    Moreover, there are an awful lot of Starlink terminal users in Ukraine who pay for the services properly. Like every other user in the world.

    1/ Russian politicians are hoping that Vladimir Putin will announce his plans for the end of the war in Ukraine. They want him to achieve a quick victory this year, with no further mobilisation and no closing of Russia's borders to block those attempting to flee the country. ?? pic.twitter.com/XBtng8evkm

    2/ The independent Russian media outlet 'We can explain' (MO) has been interviewing deputies about their expectations for Putin's next annual national address on 21 February. It's widely expected to be about his plans for the war as it enters its second year. Translation follows:

  • They have a few flying su-57's. I think the number is in the single digits as is the t-14.


    They have been actually using the 57's though but keeping them away from the front lines.

    yes. I think they are very similar though. In development for a long time, components pieced together and major problems - like the engines. I feel like it's not ready but they want people to think it might be.
