Ukraine is currently rationing their shells and preparing for their next phase of counteroffensive which is coming around Apr. plus, EU is going to buy 1 mllions shells for Ukraine, so game on, waiting for Russia to mobilize more.

Kb27 Supersonic March 19 Share March 19 US sends another drone to the Black Sea. Come and get it .. 😁 https://www.uawire.org/the-u-s-sends-another-strategic-reconnaissance-drone-to-the-black-sea Three days after the incident with the Russian aircraft ramming and disabling the American strategic drone, the US Air Force sent another reconnaissance drone, this time RQ-4 Global Hawk, to the Black Sea. According to the online service Flightradar24, which tracks air traffic around the world, the US Air Force drone flew in the airspace of Bulgaria and Romania, after then continued into the airspace over the Black Sea. According to the American media, the UAV was sent there to observe Russia’s attempts to find and retrieve the wreckage of the collapsed MQ-9 Reaper. The incident happened on the morning of March 14. A pair of Russian Su-27 fighter jets carried out dangerous maneuvers near an American MQ-9 Reaper drone in the neutral waters of the Black Sea. The Russian aircraft also dumped fuel near the drone and flew so close that the drone’s propeller was hit and damaged. The drone subsequently lost control and crashed into the sea. The Russians claim that they allegedly did not touch the American UAV. However, at the same time, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoygu presented awards to the pilots who participated in this incident. Several Russian warships were urgently sent to the site where the UAV crashed to retrieve its wreckage and gain access to American technologies. The Pentagon later reported that the software and all the information that the drone had collected was erased remotely. After the incident, the Pentagon assured that it intends to continue flights over the Black Sea, despite the dangerous provocations of the Russians.

They are just slugging soviet-era dumb munitions back and forth for the most part. And human wave attack/defend. Sure high tech plays a part but not as widely as we are led to believe. But while russian losses are highly publicised, Ukraine has so far played the media/pr game better to downplay losses and focus on publishing wins. Can't blame them as it's very important for troop morale in wartime. So it's not surprising this commander that came out to give the unvarnished version of news will be singled out and punished.

They say, ‘Take them into the battle.’ They just drop everything and run. That’s it. Do you understand why? Because the soldier doesn’t shoot. I ask him why, and he says, ‘I’m afraid of the sound of the shot.’ And for some reason, he has never thrown a grenade. … We need Nato instructors in all our training centres, and our instructors need to be sent over there into the trenches. Because they failed in their task.” Kupol said what was left of his unit was also facing ammunition shortages. “You’re on the front line,” he said. “They’re coming toward you, and there’s nothing to shoot with.” Edited March 19 by Ghgan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russia invaded their land. Ukraine can try to negotiate a ceasefire by giving up land but that will only allow Russia to regroup and launch new invasion into Ukraine at a later date, to either gobble up the entire Ukraine or connect the occupied Ukraine land to Transnistria. You may disagree, but apparently Ukraine believes that she has to fight now so that future generation don't have to. Good luck to China if she tries a similar stunt on Taiwan. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than newer batches, Many of our older reservist will be considered unfit for combat too if we are honest. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
