Reminder that by even Ukrain's estimate of losses, and wikipedia's road cope estimate of territory gains Russia's invasion is on par with any other rapid invasion in recent history. This also includes Russia's advance slowing down several times due to ceasefires for negotiations. If you use more reasonable estimates for losses and actually gains not roadcope they've outperformed everyone. You don't have to believe a single Russian MoD or shill claim to verify this.
Any "military expert" that comes out calling this operation a "disaster" because of a couple downed aircraft and vehicles very clearly doesn't understand aggressive maneuver warfare or military operations in general. This is at worst an average performance.
Again for fresh bread, today's recap from Russian side: >It was the calmest day since the start of the operation. Perhaps the silence mode affected.
>The humanitarian corridor, along which in the end no one was evacuated, is mapped. >Of the hostilities, we note in the southwestern direction the battles in the direction of >Voznesensk-Pervomaisk, in this area, information about the use of landing forces by the Russian army was confirmed.
>In the southeastern part of the Russian DPR forces are moving north, coming close to Gulyaipole. >A precision strike destroyed the Space Control Center of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Velikodonskoye, Odessa region.
>In the west, the Russian army is advancing towards Kiev, a lot of forces are concentrated there. It is worth mentioning that both sides reported downed aircraft today. Judging by the columns of vehicles in the video from Irpen, the city is under our control today.

is this like the pro ukraine general and chug the pro russia general
Mr Putin, this war is taking too long, please stop been nice and do you thing, you know how to do it, NATO, US and EU are not going to risk the end of the world for some real state in the middle of nowhere
that sounds expensive user it also sounds like a great way to get all your vehicles hacked and taken over if your vehicle crew has been captured then losing an individual vehicle is the least of your concerns
Considering how the geography enabled Russians to strike from 3 sides simultaneously, it's really no surprise that they are advancing. Considering that and the manpower and equipment advantage, Russians should be doing better. They are giving Ukranians time to arm and consolidate and if they get involved in heavy urban fighting, it's going to be very bloody for them.
Cooper Anderson
the pilot/pilots were confirmed alive, they ejected and were captured
Gavin Flores
You can tell it's green screen from the edge of his suit
Elijah Sanders
wtf? Do not search "parking garage" on twitter
Jayden Green
Filmed in a parking garage, in front of a greenscreen.
Not happy If you see any cope that China somehow benefits with this, a North Korea-tier Russia trading almost exclusively with China isn't exactly a big trade boom
Carter Cook
Yes, because it'll be fucking funny.
Carson Gonzalez
>fashion companies want to jump on the latest internet hype train Lets give them some gold avards
They are sleeping already. Or Russia pulled the plug on global internet and went NK.
Jaxon Roberts
He's in hiding. Over the past few months, he's become extremely paranoid, total schizo-tier.
Andrew Bennett
>Russia continues to take ground daily They have pretty much stalled for like a week now. They can't encircle or take any of the big cities up North/Northeast and only make some gains in the South. >shelling shows no signs of slowing down It hasn't achieved shit for the Russians except more damaged infrastructure.
Tyler Roberts
That's interesting. I would not be surprised if Putin was in a secret location / moving around a lot to evade potential assassination attempts. There must be at least a few MI6 tier glowniggers looking for him in Russia RN.
Alexander Nguyen
I consider them together..
Nathaniel Gutierrez
>China being able to import massive amounts of fuel from a land neighbor isn't beneficial okay retard you're right it isn't like they're one of the top importers of fuel or anything like that
William Russell
Hermes, Prada, Chanel, and Gucci are not "mid-high," they're about as high as you can get. Unless all the oligarchs now have a chosen clothier they send all those nubile 20-year-olds to get bespoke stitchings.
Because his inner circle likely wants to "heart attack" him now.
Aaron White
>They’ve stalled…but they’re making gains in the south. lol
Oliver Roberts
I think the real danger here comes from within Russia. Both the military and the FSB obviously know very well that this war isn't going according to plan by any metric and that Putin is completely fucking up Russia's economy.
Jackson Mitchell
currently predicting the fall K̶y̶i̶v̶ Moscow by the end of march
>They are giving Ukranians time to arm and consolidate and if they get involved in heavy urban fighting They have advanced rapidly in all but urban environments, they're clearly avoiding those unless they offer little resistance. Small force attacks, evaluates and then encirclement if it's too heavy, engagement if it's light.
Noah Garcia
Considering Russian history, proven Russian incompetence, proven losses of equipment and the fact that city defense is naturally a lot easier than city advance, the Ukrainian numbers sure seem realistic.
Jose Baker
That they're already importing from? Russia hasn't even turned off the gas pipes to Europe yet, they could never do it and the economy is still going to collapse.
Dominic Harris
Honestly, big business/banking being against Russia makes me more sympathetic to them
Gavin Torres
you think one of the richest men in the world and president of one of the most powerful countries has to hide in a parking garage? and you didn't explain why he would need a green screen.
seriously man, you're a literal retard.
Brandon Thomas

The US lost 2k soldiers in afghanistan in 20 years and 4k in Iraq in 15+ years neutral sources estimate that Russia lost around that many in a fucking week Ukranie estimate put it 3 times to 5 times that number
you can't just dismiss the casualties as a nothing burger and pretend that this invasion is going according to plan becasuse I remind you all the pro russian people were claiming ukraine will just surrounder on day 1 without a fight
Justin Richardson
Because it's more difficult to assassinate him if the CIA don't know where he is.
Angel Gonzalez
i personally thing that claiming this to be a greenscreen is retarded schizo tier bs however, if it were the reasoning is pretty clear there are reports that putin is hiding in bunker in the urals, or that hes paranoid about a coup attempt so thats why hes always sitting 6 miles away even from the members of his inner circle in either case, making a video sitting at atable with dozens of people outside of your loyalist circle would help to disprove these claims, but if they were true then youd have to greenscreen it
>Hermes, Prada, Chanel, and Gucci are not "mid-high," they're about as high as you can get. eeeeh not sure id say that would be the actual designer clothes
Caleb Thompson
/trv/ here. Wasnt he visiting an airport? I saw millions of airports with cars in it
Lincoln Jenkins
Their main targets are the big cities up North. Of course losing Mariupol in the South would hurt Ukrainians but so far the city is holding.
They needed a big open space to setup a studio with proper acoustics, bunkers have terrible acoustics and the best they could do was bunker's garage at the entrancne
Camden Lewis
fellas why is ISW so based in their reporting and analysis especially considering its literally a fucking neocon prowar shilltank
Austin Bennett
They took Cherson and have almost finished off Mariupol. They're still on the doorstep of Kiev.
Joshua Lewis
He needs a greenscreen because he doesn't let anyone near him over security concerns, so they edited those women in. Why does he hide in a parking garage and not in one of his billion dollar mansions? Take a wild guess. Seems like you're the literal retard.
Kayden Perez
I already watched this twice, can't watch it anymore.
Charles Sullivan
Russians are being repelled from the suburbs of big cities and encirclement has only succeeded around Mariupol so far due to geography.
Liam Price
>They're not making progress! >okay, they are, but that doesn't count! Cope
There seems to be ready made positions along highways. They can just occupy pre dug ambush points and wait for something to come rumbling down the road. Hit, capture or destroy, move to the next position. It's a very effective tactic where 5 or 6 men with ATGM can absolutely control a large area.
Tomorrow will be a big protest, 2 P.M MSK. I mean, there will not be any more people than tomorrow, unless something big happens. We will finally see how many people are against the war. in Russia. I'll bring some photos probably.
