    Zoomer -- there were no 1200 orcs schwacked .. sans in your imagination. Yes friend .. in war you have casualties on both sides ... but let not the fog of propaganda be the sole influence in the partisan haze.

    I understand the terrorist attacks are exciting ... shows the Azov SS units are having some success at something . .. but in the overall picture this is nary a drop of paint friend .. Ukraine is getting crushed - is army crumbled along the vast majority of the front line .. in retreat and losing territory .. losing soldiers at the rate of 1200 per day.

    You know what Vlad doing .. .. dropping 100 FAB 1500 bombs per day .. that is Kilograms .. not pounds Zoomie .. over 3000 lbs .. leaves a 50 ft diameter crater these Fab 1500's

    Low on ammo - low on human capital - and now Genocide Joe is going to leave his latest JV Team in the lurch ... promised he would support them to the end .. ha ha ha :) That's what they always tell the JV-Proxy team ... Search your feelings Zoomie, you know it to be true .. !

    Oh Zoomie .. so funny .. this now the clone wars .. you know that -- got these drones .. over the whole battle field .. recording the precious moments .. and they release this footage often .. both side .. Ukraine less so now that their control of the skies has become non-existent .. the FAB 1500 bombs raining down on retreating Ukraine positions.

    You don't know about Vlads Fabulous FABs ? .. I think your pulling leg ... we talked about the FAB 500s long ago .. when you were so amazed .. Russia able to drop these in at will.. ... but these are next gen FAB's Zoomie .. instead of 500 KG .. they 1500 KG .. boom boom boom .. 50 foot crater.

    Told you for every one terrorist attack ... Ukraine gets punished .. 100 X over. asymmetric as all hell .. truth be told. now with Ukraine running out of artillery shells .. in an artillery war .. can't fire enough to keep the enemy from advancing .. average age on the front line now pushing 45 .. getting slaughtered like fish in a barrel as they try to retreat... only able to maintain defense in a few locations ... Zelensky crying out for help from the US . but nobody picking up the telephone right now .. maybe by the end of April ? Lets hope its much sooner .. Vlad say just because Ukraine running out of ammo is no reason for a cease fire ..

    Got to think Odesa is eventually in the cards .. what prophecy you have for that one Zoomer - Search your Feelings .. :)

    Russian forces will likely continue ongoing offensive efforts to destabilize Ukrainian defensive lines in Spring 2024 while also preparing for a forecasted new offensive effort in Summer 2024. The provision of Western security assistance will likely play a critical role in Ukraine’s ability to hold territory now and to repel a new Russian offensive effort in the coming months.

    The Ukrainians are causing trouble.
    Russian Offensive Campaign Assessment, March 16, 2024
    Mar 16, 2024 - ISW Press
    [​IMG]


    The Ukrainian State Security Service (SBU) reportedly conducted a series of successful drone strikes against three Russian oil refineries in Samara Oblast on March 16. Sources in Ukrainian special services told Ukrainian outlet RBK-Ukraine that the SBU struck the Novokuibyshevsky, Kuibyshevsky, and Syzran Rosneft oil refineries in Samara Oblast. RBK-Ukraine reported that the three refineries process an estimated 25 million tons of oil per year, or 10 percent of Russia’s annual oil refinement output. Geolocated footage published on March 16 shows a fire at the Syzran oil refinery following the drone strikes, and Samara Oblast Governor Dmytro Azarov stated that there was also a fire at the refinery in Novokuibyshevsky.

    Tu-141s and Tu-143s: More love from Russia comes back home.

    “Somewhere, somehow, someone seems to have found an additional batch of 1970s-vintage Tupolev Tu-141/143 drones—crude, hulking but nevertheless potentially effective vehicles that the Ukrainians last deployed a year ago, four decades after they initially retired from Soviet service.”

    “The Tu-141/143 is an obvious substitute. It’s fast—600 miles per hour—and, if it’s anything like the Model 147, can fly as high as 20,000 feet or as low as treetop height. Its inertial navigation system can keep it within a few miles of its planned course over a distance of more than a thousand miles. It recovers by cutting its engine and popping a parachute.”

    The Tu-141/143 works.
    So it should come as no surprise that the Ukrainians are sending the drones on one-way missions to, it seems, blow up Russian oil refineries.” "Remove the cameras and add explosives, and the Tu-141/143 becomes a cruise missile rather than a recon drone.

    Ukraine's Seven-Ton Strike Drones Are Back In Action
    Ukraine is reaching deeper into its stocks of Cold War-vintage leftovers to find weapons—any weapons—that can strike military and industrial targets deep... (emphasis mine)

    The Ukrainians are taking the war to Russia.
    Russian Offensive Campaign Assessment, March 17, 2024
    Mar 17, 2024 - ISW Press
    [​IMG]


    The Ukrainian State Security Service (SBU), Special Forces (SOF), and Unmanned Systems Forces reportedly conducted a successful drone strike against a Russian oil refinery in Krasnodar Krai on the night of March 16 to 17. Sources in the SBU told Ukrainian outlet Suspilne that the Ukrainian SBU, SOF, and Unmanned Systems Forces struck the crude oil atmospheric distillation columns of the Slavyansk oil refinery in Slavyansk-on-Kuban, Krasnodar Krai, resulting in a large fire.[8] Krasnodar Krai Operational Headquarters claimed that several drones attempted to strike the Slavyansk oil refinery and that Russian forces neutralized them, though falling drones caused a fire.[9] A Russian milblogger claimed that two of 17 drones that targeted the Slavyansk oil refinery struck the facility. Suspilne reported that SBU drones have recently successfully struck 12 oil refineries in Russia.[11] A Russian milblogger claimed that the Ukrainian strike on the Slavyansk oil refinery is the ninth Ukrainian strike on a Russian oil refinery in the past week. Another Russian milblogger claimed that Ukrainian strikes on oil refineries are more serious than strikes on fuel depots because international sanctions against Russia complicate Russia’s ability to repair technologically complex oil refinery facilities.

    This marks a sad anniversary of Russian aggression.
    Russian Offensive Campaign Assessment, March 18, 2024
    Mar 18, 2024 - ISW Press
    [​IMG]


    Russian President Vladimir Putin illegally annexed occupied Crimea 10 years ago, setting conditions for the full conquest of Ukraine Putin still seeks. Putin celebrated the 10th anniversary of Russia's illegal annexation of Crimea on March 18, 2024, during which he attempted to justify his continued occupation of parts of Donbas and southern Ukraine and to set conditions for a protracted war in Ukraine. Russian occupation authorities have consistently oppressed Ukrainians on the peninsula — the same charge of which Putin accused the Ukrainian government to justify his invasion — and Russia has since militarized Crimea to support its broader territorial ambitions against Ukraine.

    Putin is evacuating Russia's children and warships.

    “The announcement came a day after Russian President Vladimir Putin said the Kremlin wants to create a buffer zone to help protect border regions from long-range Ukrainian strikes and cross-border raids.

    “Elsewhere, Russia’s navy has highly likely limited its operations in the eastern Black Sea amid mounting losses, Britain’s Ministry of Defence has said in its latest intelligence update….”

    With Ukraine continuing to seek out opportunities to strike at distance, the Russian ministry of defence has been prompted to increase its efforts to preserve its fleet in the Black Sea,” the MoD statement said.” (Emphasis mine)

    Analysis: Ukraine has increased its attacks on Russia - here's why


    The Russian defence ministry claimed that it shot down 35 Ukraine drones, including five in the Moscow region.

    There are also reports that Ukraine's security service has successfully attacked three Russian oil depots in the Samara region, where up to 10% of Russian oil products are refined.​

    Russian Offensive Campaign Assessment, March 19, 2024

    Russian President Vladimir Putin presented the Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) as a key guarantor of Russian security and sovereignty following his victory in the Russian presidential election, likely signaling that Russian security services and siloviki (Russian strongmen with political influence) will continue to represent his core constituency in his fifth presidential term. Putin delivered his first major address following his March 18 electoral victory speech at the FSB board meeting on March 19 and praised FSB officers for ensuring Russian security and sovereignty. Putin thanked FSB officers for successful operations in Ukraine, for suppressing attempts to interfere in Russian internal affairs, and for repelling “terrorist” attacks against Russia (in reference to limited raids by all-Russian pro-Ukrainian volunteers in Kursk and Belgorod oblasts). Putin also highlighted the FSB’s role in suppressing attempts by unnamed actors to provoke internal unrest and interethnic conflict within Russia and the FSB‘s responsibilities to ensure Russia’s economic security, combat corruption, and protect critical infrastructure. Putin’s appeals to these FSB functions likely sought to remind his domestic constituency that his regime has the backing of an extensive security apparatus, which the Kremlin has been attempting to expand since the start of the full-scale invasion, particularly since the Wagner Group‘s failed rebellion in June 2023. It is notable that one of the greatest challenges to the stability of Putin’s rule came from a silovik, deceased Wagner Group financier Yevgeny Prigozhin, and Putin likely aims to signal that Russia’s siloviki are firmly united in support of his fifth presidential term and his war effort in Ukraine. Putin, a former KGB officer himself, may be highlighting the FSB as an organization that has his current favor, although Putin has traditionally pitted Russia’s security organizations and siloviki against each other to compete for his support and prevent any singular entity from amassing too much power.

    Putin milbloggers "trying to down play" the mass evacuation of Russian Children from Russian cities is indeed an act of futile "desperation".

    Around 9,000 children will be evacuated from the Russian city of Belgorod and the wider region after shelling that authorities have blamed on Ukraine.”

    “The new evacuation order affects several villages in the city of Belgorod and several villages in other parts of the region, Mr Gladkov told a gathering of the Kremlin's United Russia party.”

    It appears the Russians are unable to capitalize on their temporary advantage in a big way.
    Russian Offensive Campaign Assessment, March 21, 2024
    Mar 21, 2024 - ISW Press
    [​IMG]


    Russian offensive tactics will likely increasingly pressure Ukrainian defenses as long as delays in Western security assistance persist. Russian forces are generally relying on their manpower and materiel superiority to conduct a relatively consistent tempo of assaults against Ukrainian positions along the frontline in hopes of wearing down Ukrainian defenders and setting conditions for exploiting Ukrainian vulnerabilities.[9] Russian forces are also expanding their use of tactical aviation, drones, and electronic warfare (EW) systems in Ukraine to prepare for and support these assaults while reportedly conducting artillery fire exceeding Ukrainian artillery fire by a ratio of up to ten to one.

    As always, Z's only advantage is numbers. I hope they do attack NATO at some point, honestly, because that advantage would not be so great nor serve them nearly as well in that scenario.

    Shoigu says Zegenerates are creating more "armies" for WW3 and a future attack on NATO itself.....LOL.

    I thinks it's more a case of needing more conscripts for the high casualty rates suffered by the Zorcs.....

    The other point is high desertion rates and out migration.

    I suspect the population of RuZZfascista is probably in the mid 130 million ...or a little higher....considering no stats were taken the last few years?

    Yeah, I saw that bit about creating more armies. I think they sense an opportunity in Ukraine's apparent inability to hold back the meatwave assaults long-term and want to try to press that advantage, as well as pressure the west into feeling even worse about Ukraine's prospects and therefore into sending even less support, as well as convey a message of strength and determination to all audiences, of course.
