re: Latest Updates: Russia-Ukraine Conflict

Is there anything new or is this just the same info repackaged by a different source?

It's the same crap. And it's so incredibly stupid.

That damn Rob Bauer is lying again.

I caught it earlier today but was waiting to see how it was amplified before sharing, the gist of the story is essentially the same.

Worth watching to see how it develops, it originated on several Telegram and Twitter accounts and has quickly spread out from there along mainly Pro-Russian media. Will be interesting to see if we can get geo-location and satellite imagery of the reported strike like we did on the Mariupol Russian bunker hit earlier.

In the unlikely event it proves accurate this is a significant blow to Ukraine as Zaluzhny is reputed as having the goods as a military commander and from the few interviews he has given that I have seen this was only reinforced.

An unemotional and intelligent response, thank you.

INTELLIGENCE UPDATE
UPDATE ON UKRAINE 21 May 2023

Since early May 2023, Russia has restarted frequent long-range missile strikes deep into Ukraine. They are likely primarily aimed at degrading Ukrainian air defences.

Innovating on earlier waves of deep strikes, Russia has started more frequently integrating unarmed, surveillance uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs) into operations. These have included Russian-produced SuperCam UAVs which are relatively cheap and have sufficient range to fly over the cruise missiles' targets.

Russia has highly likely adopted this tactic in an attempt to obtain more timely battle damage assessment and improve its targeting cycle. The Russian military's slow and inefficient targeting process has been a major weakness in its performance in Ukraine. However, slow surveillance UAVs are highly vulnerable to Ukrainian air defences.

Following President Biden's meeting with President Zelenskyy in Japan, the Department of Defense (DoD) today announced additional security assistance to meet Ukraine's critical security and defense needs. This authorization is the Biden Administration's thirty-eighth drawdown of equipment from DoD inventories for Ukraine since August 2021. It includes additional ammunition for U.S.-provided HIMARS, artillery rounds, anti-armor capabilities, and critical enablers valued at up to $375 million that Ukraine is using on the battlefield to push back against Russia's unprovoked war of aggression.

The capabilities in this package include:

• Additional ammunition for High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems (HIMARS);
• 155mm and 105mm artillery rounds;
• Tube-Launched, Optically-Tracked, Wire-Guided (TOW) missiles;
• Javelin and AT-4 anti-armor systems;
• Laser-guided rocket system munitions;
• Demolition munitions;
• Armored bridging systems;
• Armored medical treatment vehicles;
• Trucks and trailers to transport heavy equipment;
• Logistics support equipment;
• Thermal imagery systems;
• Spare parts and other field equipment.

I agree time will tell, if true, a major loss for Ukraine at a critical time.

Yes it would be, though if he was successfully targeted it was the perfect time for Russia to do so and would be one of the few instances where they have achieved a significant strategic victory in a timely manner.

As others stated, the most likely answer is that he is too busy on more important things to be running around in public.

Without visual or hard evidence beyond the current hypotheticals and unverified claims on twitter it's still merely a rumour.

It’s a thread devoted to unceasing and limitless involvement in a foreign war.

ROTFLMAO.

We aren't really involved in the war, not in any serious way.

If we sent in 100,000 troops this illegal invasion of Ukraine would be over in three days.

Dumbasses who pretend that the US is engaging in some massive coverup are either just trolls or don't have a basic grasp of how the world works. The way that the world works is that, if the cover of a small part of a Patriot launcher gets knocked off, and Ukrainians use duct tape to put the cover back into place, someone at the Pentagon runs to CNN to say that the Patriot was damaged so that CNN can get its headlines.

---

Is that what the two generals were discussing? Duct taping covers back onto Patriot missiles?

Russia is soon to be completely and embarrassingly expelled from Ukraine all together if this massive influx of troll and poliboard bullshite holds true to form from the past.

The last 10+ pages of catching up were insufferable
