To celebrate the four year anniversary of the 3 Day SMO, here's the first page of the original O-T thread.

What a trip this thread was four years ago. Flight tracking, Putin fan boys, revisionist WW2 history and too much denial. Actually, now that I think about it, nothing's changed...

Lots of demonstrations of Ukrainian will to fight and then the first Russian armored column was flattened and eveyone had to recalibrate their naivete.

Enjoy.

"The accuracy points to live operator guidance." In Oryol?

This facility is 1387km from Kyiv. All reports simply describe the attack being done by "Ukrainian drones", so we don't know if it was an FP-5 Flamingo or not. But whatever it was, it possessed very long range and from the looks of this image, very high accuracy.

Two Russian helicopters, an Mi-8 and Ka-52, were hit by strike drones at an airfield in Oryol region on February 20 from about 200 km out. The accuracy points to live operator guidance.


Ukraine has used some image recognition guidance in previous attacks on Russian airfields. That kind of processing power used to require dedicated hardware processing, but now a good cell phone processor can do it.

I thought the same thing.

Then 3 days into the war there were videos of Russian tanks on the highway to Kiev running out of fuel because some Russian General forgot to provide refueling logistics.

The videos of the Ruskies trying to fill up tanks from a service station will never not be funny.

Where is a favorite Rybar poster about how Russia is advancing rapidly, even though it was slower than an actual snail?

Remember back when we had months of certain posters proudly proclaiming that Trump would end the war within 24 hours? Usually with some kind of "Suck it, you cuck neocon warmonger Ukraine bros" added on the end?

. Denial is great until it's not. Lots of Putin fan boys are no longer with us. Now that Russia has lost this war, reading this thread is not nearly as fun as it used to be.

And yes, glad you asked. It is on the Druzhba crude oil pipeline. This is clearly an answer to Orban and Fico's recent threats.

It got that way because two people were posting pages and pages of competing propaganda type material.

There is still one left.

As predicted, Orban doesn't want non-Russian crude, as offered by Ukraine via the Brody pipeline. There's no money in it for him and his boss would be quite upset.
