Are these guys really having a collective orgasm because a T-90 got destroyed? I thought we understood in this conflict that anti tank weapons are pretty good and that tanks aren't the weapon they used to be back in the world war two. I'm also not sure who claimed that the tank was invincible. Each day this thread gets sadder and sadder.

Newsweek: How Russia Won the Sanctions War With the West
https://www.newsweek.com/how-russia-...pinion-1861645
t is now abundantly clear that Russia has defeated the Western sanctions regime that was intended to cripple its economy and force its withdrawal from Ukraine. Instead of collapsing, the Russian economy is growing rapidly. Russia's GDP grew by an impressive 5.5 percent in the third quarter of 2023. Final figures for the year are not yet in, but Russian GDP growth for all of 2023 should exceed 3 percent. Ironically, the Russians are doing rather better than those who imposed sanctions on them. In 2023, the U.S. economy grew by 2.4 percent while the German economy shrank, and the EU as a whole grew by less than 1 percent. Instead of withdrawing from Ukraine, Russia has increased the size of its invasion force from 190,000 troops in February 2022 to more than 600,000 today.
Between February 2022 and February 2023, Western countries imposed on Russia the most extensive sanctions regime seen since World War II. In all, several thousand sanctions on Russian individuals, businesses, and government institutions caused only a mild recession in 2022 which the Russians quickly turned around. How did they do it? Very simply. The Russians have a lot of gold, grain, oil, and friends, all of which they used effectively to defeat the sanctions. Any realistic war game could have easily predicted all of this.

Day 1,123 of the 48 hour special military operation.
Kyiv is still Ukranian.Survival. When the jungle tears itself down and builds itself into something new. Guys like you and me, we end up dead. Doesn’t really mean anything. Or, if we happen to live through it, well that doesn’t mean anything either.

Yuge protests in Bashkorostan region of Russia.
Ethnic Bashkir people are tired of living in poverty and being sent to the meatgrinder, while limousine elite in Moscow pretends that there's no war because only peasants from the east get conscripted to get slaughtered for Putin's ego boost.
Thousands of people showed up to protest.
According to the vatnik doctrine, surely these people should be given a right to hold a referendum and separate from Russia. No? I thought ruzzians love referendums and separatists.... maybe not when that happens in their own country of course....
Should NATO send their soldiers to Bashkorostan and annex that region to protect its ethic minority from ruzzian OMON and SPETSNAZ beatdown?

Kind of seems like you are misrepresenting what the riot was about, and protests against government over pipelines, farming, etc are not exactly unique to Russia. Trucker protests in Canada, the farmer protests in Germany and the Netherlands, and trucker protesting in Poland blocking roads from Ukraine, and years of protests against the Keystone Pipeline in the US. If indeed this guy is getting railroaded, good on the indigenous people there for protesting and standing up to the government. But your characterization as if this is some greater issue that is showing a fracturing of the Russian society to the point of instability is nonsense.
Like all of your posts along with the Polish guy living in England, it is always a screenshot of a an article or something off Twitter without links to the actual article or post. So weak and pathetic, chit tier propaganda. I dont understand what you guys get out of being so retarded, over and over and over again.
The protest broke out after a court in the town of Baymak sentenced Indigenous rights activist Fail Alsynov to four years in a penal colony on Wednesday. His supporters, estimated by some to number up to 3,000, gathered in protest, which would make it one of the largest demonstrations in Russia since the start of its war against Ukraine.
Alsynov was convicted of inciting ethnic hatred during a speech delivered in April at a protest opposing plans for the development of a gold mine in the region about 1,380km (860 miles) east of Moscow in the Ural Mountains.
The regional governor said the activist had made racist comments about people from Central Asia and the Caucasus.
Following the sentencing, Alsynov’s supporters clashed with police, who fired tear gas and detained dozens, local media reports said.
The protesters said the verdict was delayed revenge for his role in protests years prior when activists successfully blocked plans to mine for soda on a hill considered sacred by locals.Black with a Small Hat

Ukraine launches massive counterattack, loses troops and equipment that they'll never be able to reconstitute, and Russia is still net positive for 2023.
Meanwhile in 2024, Russia is advancing literally everywhere, and the only thing you have to cheer is a video of 2 M2 Bradley's getting a T90 kill.
This isn’t a football game, it's a war that’s being lost by Ukraine, at great loss of life, and Russia is going to be very militarized when it's over.Florida Crew as of 3/21

Chinese defence analysts are just nato shills though, obviously.
The kinzhal isnt a hypersonic missile if by hypersonic you mean a cruise missile that goes mach5+. The kinzhal has a ballistic flight path but is air launched, and from what ive read its ability to maneuver mid flight is likely BS.
Their only hypersonic is the avantgard hgv, but i dont think they have used that in ukraine (or anywhere). On paper though its very good, the most advanced glide vehicle/missile in the world.
The pentagon a few years back was giving a briefing about hypersonics and stated clearly they do not have any way of effectively intercepting those.

No… its a ballistic missile. Ballistic missiles have been “fast as ****” since 1950. The kinzhal is modified from a missile that was developed during the 80s.
And good luck even finding a carrier. I remember a few years ago the chinese were flexing super hard that their new satellite tracking systems were able to locate a Us carrier, except it was literally right off of NYC doing some exhibition lmaoooo….

lol American military tech is all garbage.
Like all American products. Everything you make is trash. Which is why Russia has completely dominated you in Ukraine.
I like how the Americans were so scared to send F-16's, they're scared they'll be exposed. Your patriot system got blown to bits by Russia.

Everything is ballistic bruh. If its on a downward trajectory you can say it's "ballistic". But the kinzhal doesn't depend on gravity. Its speed from launch is fast as fk and can continue to use rocket power near target, which is how it evades defensive systems. If it was your traditional ballistic missile, it'd been shot down already.
You don't even need a satellite to track the US carrier lmao. These p hags think they slick launching several jet fighters from it. The Japanese literally found an entire fleet using kid binoculars.
US submarines on the other hard are much more difficult to find, even during wartime.Last edited by theory816; 01-19-2024 at 07:40 AM.
