One plane and one unknown object that could be a missile or could be a plane

[lapis dagger]

ahahahaha

[analog depot]

I do feel bad for that pilot though. No way he got out of that inferno alive

[simple plover]

stalker

[brave wave]

Paratroopers no, perfectly legal.
Parachuting pilots on the other hand, yes.

[lapis dagger]

ahahahahaha

[slender bison]

Thats freaking stupid. And so the jets and stuff from last night where false reports?

[lapis dagger]

i fucking cant ahahahahaha. fucking emission

[simple plover]

lmaoooo

[last nebula]

Does it count for paratroopers? Yeah, I thought pilots was the no-no, paratroopers jump out holding guns expecting to fight

[slim acorn]

Get inside stalker

[toxic spade]

oh, damn
the more you know

[regal fjord]

Oh you meant in total, I mean one plane and one missile (or plane) over Kyiv. Still not too clear how many planes in total overall

[karmic ether]

also paratroopers are worth nothing, they just drop and while theyre landing half the squad is dead

[toxic spade]

🤭 weather report: red mists in kiev

[last nebula]

Well pilots once they're in the parachute are most likely not going to be fighting any more

[brave wave]

It's the reason pilots have orange or white chutes usually. It's a giant 'don't shoot plz' sign.

[lapis dagger]

update: weird fat dwarf is telling me in my mind to kill myself in chernobyl

[slim acorn]

🤔

[brave wave]

The expectation is if a pilot hits earth and a pair of fully armed and trained soldiers walk up the pilot should just surrender.

[toxic spade]

do they no longer give pilots guns

[last nebula]

Yeah, most pilots have enough brain to figure out it's not worth fighting at that point

[toxic spade]

and survival kits, that kinda stuff

[last nebula]

They give them sidearms, yeah

[unborn frost]

they usually get a pistol...

[brave wave]

They do give them guns in their kits, juuuuust in case

[last nebula]

Which can help if they encounter civilians or something I guess

[lapis dagger]

...of what

[toxic spade]

never know when the enemy might invite you to a friendly airsoft match

[brave wave]

If the pilot has time to run away it might be worth it, they can try evade and escape.

[toxic spade]

[last nebula]

Yeah, 1 person with a pistol is still going to be threatening enough that they can evade anyone who isn't armed

[brave wave]

If you find yourself in a place where blapping a few shots can help you run away, go for it.

[last nebula]

But by the time you're surrounded by armed men it's not worth the extra effort of having a bigger gun

[red slate]

Goddamn

yea thats what explosives do usually

[last nebula]

I always think of the ww2 stereotypical pilot lands in empty farm, hides out in barn, gets found by like a random person from the village or something so they're like gun "don't tell anyone"

[red slate]

Well the building style checks out

[regal fjord]

You land on a boar

You have no gun. Boar tears you limb from limb

[last nebula]

Yeah that's a situation too

[toxic spade]

civilian clothing speedrun

[last nebula]

Generally small easy to carry gun is better than assault rifle in almost all of those situations

[regal fjord]

Even astronauts usually get some sort of a weapon, and they sure as hell arent supposed to be fighting

[karmic ether]

pilots are big assets they cant be just killed (obviously they will)

[last nebula]

Yeah, astronauts get pistols in case they find the moon nazis right?

Comments say that it is old footage though

[jade badger]

Hours old?

[regal fjord]

No clue

The voice at the beginning says "Raise (Rise?) it higher" then incomprehensible radio chatter than the voice reports that BTR is taking fire contact and the video ends

Nothing I could decipher to be decidedly relevant, unfortunately

Looks like some sort of a 30mm BTR, but I can't tell if its a bucephalus or 82A, so its hard to tell if the voice belong to rebels or government forces

[mental haven]

jesus, the illumination rounds make it so surreal to watch, even if it is not new

It doesnt look like exercises at least, because some of the tracer rounds are flying back at the camera from the other side

I mean I honestly doubt if he managed to get all 4 aerial kills but if he did props to him I guess

[karmic ether]

so i've been watching AirTrack24

and some of the US Planes look like they are heading to Moldova

[topaz hedge]

They’re probably gonna orbit over Moldova or something

Supposedly there’s Stratotankers over Ukraine

[regal fjord]

There's no way they would be flying there with transponders on if they had an active mission planned there

[analog depot]

So looks like Putin is trying to surround Kyiv, this is going to become a siege

[karmic ether]

USAF NCHO222 was deployed from the UK and it looks like its going to Moldova

[topaz hedge]

America just spawned in a million bombs at once

[regal fjord]

Some ukrainian info theorizes that the plan would be to hit the Kyyivska'a Hydroelectrostation and the substations around Kyiv outskirts and then try to land the air assault troops in the resulting window to hit arsenals and other priority targets

[slender bison]

15 T72s knocked out in one engagement. The Ukrainians are making good use of them Javelins

[karmic ether]

that was 16 hours ago i think

[topaz hedge]

Apparently the Russians progressing at a slow rate

[slender bison]

I told you guys the Ukrainians werent gonna let them steam through

Theyre putting up a good fight

[indigo oracle]

Yeah, but it depends on how long.

[topaz hedge]

I’m impressed

It’s just who knows how long it’ll last

[slender bison]

How survivable is a Javelin btw?

Zero.

So all those russian crews are dead?..That is sad I suppose. Respect to them.

Still rooting for the Ukrainians though

[kindred cloud]

war is never bloodless

[slender bison]

Yes but usually when a platoon..well company of tanks gets whipped put like that you have some survivors. Guess not against Javelins

Out*

[karmic ether]

a full platoon of russian mechanized cavalry surrendered today

[regal fjord]

If you are warned of the fact you're being locked in, you can dodge it

[fickle knot]

Northern Frontline is at ivankiv. Ukr units reportedly blew the bridge*

[regal fjord]

Also depends on the wind and weather

[slender bison]

Well I more meant the ones that already got hit

the 15 that were knocked out

[regal fjord]

It can deviate to different parts of the vehicle, like front or back or even hit on the side

Top side I mean

[slender bison]

Does that matter with the javelin? Isnt it designed to explode over the top?

[regal fjord]

You can even have a glancing hit with little damage

[regal fjord]

Explosion over the top of the front of a T72 for example would likely damage tracks and, maybe, kill the driver if he's particularly unlucky, without necessarily destroying the vehicle or hampering its ability to at least engage back

If I were the crew I would bail after that, obv, so that would still be a mission kill and a technically knocked out vehicle, but one that can be potentially towed and repaired for example

[mental haven]

heard that too, was close to the square

[analog depot]

I mean, this is actually false, believe or not. Philippines and India are probably two places you don't hear about that has ongoing fighting. Majority of wars in this day and age are proxy wars, fought by private militia. Keeps a countries hands clean, so to speak, and it's been ongoing for some time

[slim acorn]

Is there a way of determining what kind of ordinance is being detonated by the sound it makes?

Or is it too crunchy to tell?

[regal fjord]

Just like Kojima predicted

Genius!

[regal fjord]

Depends

[slim acorn]

Id imagine whatever equipment theyre using factors in a ton

[regal fjord]

You can tell apart cluster munitions from smaller bombs, its easier to tell what kind of rounds are hitting from the impact for the smaller calibers

Like fragmentation rounds do a thud followed by a khak

[analog depot]

Surface to air missile was definitely used in that one, I heard it as well

[regal fjord]

Things that go THAK THAK are usually pure kinetic

[analog depot]

Actually sounds like a cruise missile just hit, did fly overhead not long ago

[karmic ether]

sounds like thunder

[analog depot]

That's most likely cruise missiles

[karmic ether]

NCHO 222 just did a 90 degree turn to the south

bruh its all crows now...

[analog depot]

That's a US tanker, probably taking over for one heading to a nearby air base

They're refuelling something in near all NATO countries near the Ukraine border

Can't relate to Aurora, though I've heard it's pretty nuts.
It's more that the game's got a lot of micro you can't go without. It's not uncommon for new players to lose their entire army in the first 30s of a match because they forgot to get their infantry out of the trucks, for instance

Robux and TF2 metal or whatever that TF2 currency is

[slim acorn]

I say again- the existence of the internet makes all of this so much more bizarre

[regal fjord]

Immediately followed by assault on chernigov

[brave wave]

i prefer the WW2 counterpart, Steel Division, personally. Less micro but still pretty deep and realistic.

[slim acorn]

We’re a little over a day in and there’s a p*kemon card for the ghost

[regal fjord]

I'm personally just dont really vibe with WW1/2 games, same reason I never touched Hell Let Loose

[red slate]

It pisses me off that we have all these countries lighting up their buildings in support of Ukraine, but only Poland is seemingly doing something to actually help them.

[jade badger]

Lets fucking goooooo

Good Christ the Ghost of Kyiv is gonna become a real life Ace Combat protagonist if this is real

[slim acorn]

Im imagining they have a huge stereo modification that blasts the project wingman ost while they fight

Technically theyre a rumor so anything goes

[topaz hedge]

If this guy actually exists I’m actually rooting for him

[red slate]

I think he's fake

[jade badger]

Ight im wasted gn guys

[regal fjord]

Konotop got HoI4 encircled

[slim acorn]

Probably a collection of pilots

[analog depot]

I mean have you seen the speeds of the jet flying in different videos? Guys a fucking madlad for pulling those G's

[fiery sierra]

currency is just a construct

[topaz hedge]

Perhaps but at least we get nice artwork of it

Fulcrums look hot anyway

[mental haven]

ive been watching konotop for a bit, surprised it isnt focused on much since its apparently a literal siege

[slim acorn]

Im drawing one rn

[topaz hedge]

Neat

[analog depot]

Definitely one guy that's been mostly taped, whether it's all the same person shooting down Russian aircraft or not is still debatable

[slim acorn]

The idea of a real world ace combat/project wingman protagonist, even if its fake, fills me with determination

[regal fjord]

Battle for the capital and Chernobyl naturally draws more attention

[topaz hedge]

I highly believe it’s multiple planes but I guess the idea of a sole pilot standing up to an invasion kinda instills morale in the people

[analog depot]

Honestly best kept that way, it's stinted Russian pushes quite a bit since people are also doing whatever they can to report Russian movement, even if in another country entirely

[slim acorn]

Definitely

[red slate]

Kharkiv is also pretty damn important.

[mental haven]

the idea of being an accomplished pilot and your own government marking you for death for russians to shoot you down would be scary as fuck lmao

[slim acorn]

Id say every key objective is important

[slim acorn]

Fair

[topaz hedge]

Speaking of pilots

Remember that Ukrainian sukhoi pilot who landed at a Romanian airbase?

[analog depot]

Government calling out one guy or not, if it truly is one guy, Russians will know about him already, without outside info, and would've marked him for death already.

[topaz hedge]

Some Romanian pilot was just on news now saying the lad just wanted to find the closest airfield

So he was probably low on fuel and didn’t want to risk a Ukrainian airfield

[slim acorn]

Huh

[analog depot]

Funny thing is Romania probably let him fuel up after keeping him for a while

[mental haven]

what am i seeing

[topaz hedge]

At least that’s my theory anyway

Dafuq

[vestal marlin]

and sent him back on his way

wouldnt be surprised

[analog depot]

Either low on fuel or ordered to retreat outside of Ukraine tbh, as the airfields were getting hit hard

[cinder grove]

idc if he's a myth, i want to believe

[analog depot]

Ukraine don't really want to risk their aircraft where possible, need to utilize them to the best they can, and have been doing so quite well

[regal fjord]

Not saying which one is more or less important, just what catches average joe's attention

[slim acorn]

At least their p*kemon card is real

[karmic ether]

believe in the dozen or so pilots and SAM operators that bagged those birds

[topaz hedge]

I just realised something today

[junior escarp]

Just woke up, what's the latest?

[mental haven]

russia doing some shelling, ukraine doing some fighting for it's life, the usual

[topaz hedge]

This week marks the 3rd Battle of Kharkiv in 1943

[regal fjord]

Zhtomir and Chernigov air assaults, Konotop encircled, Kherson front continues to collapse, air raids in Kyiv

[junior escarp]

oof

[analog depot]

Oh fuck

[slim acorn]

Woah

[regal fjord]

Positions in south east are still holding strong somehow

[mental haven]

there also appears to be a smaller encircled town, hlukhiv

[slim acorn]

That tiny one in the north?

[mental haven]

near konotop

[regal fjord]

Still no movement from Brest direction, surprisingly

[mental haven]

yep I think you can even see it on the map that dead parrot sent

[slim acorn]

Fucking best aerial combat game ost

[mental haven]

question, what the fuck is going on in transnistria

[topaz hedge]

Over the remains of a nuked Kyiv

[cinder grove]

Ukrainian military just detected helicopter activity coming from Transnistria

[mental haven]

are there russian troops there? are they annexed finally?

[cinder grove]

there are def russian troops there

[topaz hedge]

Transnistria iirc is a part of Russia

Or something like that it’s weird

[cinder grove]

it's a puppet state

[mental haven]

another question, is russia occupying parts of georgia

[red slate]

Yes

[cinder grove]

abkhazia and south ossetia have been russian puppets since 2008

[regal fjord]

its Moldova

[topaz hedge]

Oh right

[mental haven]

hmmm I knew this but I wasnt sure if they were actually staging troops there

[cinder grove]

idk if they're relevant in this war

[regal fjord]

They might go for a strike on Odessa or Uman if they're launching from Moldova

[karmic ether]

The Transnistrian reserves were called up according to media a week or so ago

though uh, I can't confirm that as I can't find my original source

so take with a grain of salt

[red slate]

On the bright side, even if Ukraine is fully puppetted, there's no way it's puppet government doesn't collapse within a decade, especially since Putin would probably be dead or not the leader of Russia in 10 years.

“I’m really starting to think that dropping out of university was not the smartest idea”

[slim acorn]

Id be contemplating my actions

[karmic ether]

I know I'm stating the obvious, but people need to understand the unwillingness of many of those poor Russian conscripts to go to war on foreign soil

[fickle cliff]

Apparently in the UN, the Ukrainian Rep called the russian one a war criminal

[mental haven]

they're still holding guns

[cunning owl]

And also said that there’s no purgatory for war criminals

[cinder grove]

they literally told them it was a training mission, and they believed it until the bullets started flying

[slim acorn]

Evidence?

[cinder grove]

according to a translation of what those two russian POWs said

[slim acorn]

Or source, I guess

[topaz hedge]

Granny gonna force feed them the cookies whether they want it or not

[mental haven]

seems the russians are either getting ready for a big offensive or getting ready to stay put

[hoary quiver]

[topaz hedge]

ahh just trace em

its what I do

[karmic ether]

We haven't seen many top-of-the-line Russian units

[cinder grove]

in art, the ends justify the means

[karmic ether]

not many T-90's or BMP-3's

I'm afraid we might see more in the coming days

[mental haven]

Hopefully NATO supplies can reach ukraine before whatever offensive Russia is planning

if they havent already

i don't know

[red slate]

Honestly, why risk losing them, your enemy already has more outdated equipment than what you're currently using.

[karmic ether]

Because the probing attacks failed

in some areas anyway

[analog kernel]

saw them in hostimal

[red slate]

They're 20 miles from the capital and the southern defense has collapsed.

[karmic ether]

true, but I mean en masse

[fluid cairn]

just send a bunch of Finns down to Ukraine, Russias advance grinds to a halt

[cinder grove]

Russian vehicles are moving through Melitopol

[kindred cloud]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3z_6hKqSzHA

[karmic ether]

True, however it fits within Russian doctrine, as far as we know, to save said top-line units for the exploitation of a breakthrough

but eh, honestly what do I know

we'll see what happens

poor bastards...

[mental haven]

they're heading for zaporzhye or linking up with the rebels?

[red slate]

Patton was right that they should have kept going east.

[topaz hedge]

Everyone's condemning russia

[north aspen]

good

[red slate]

I was using a guy for my sources, because he was good at digging shit up, issue is that he's a russian, and a russian supporter.

[topaz hedge]

Like I'd imagine practically everyone

[honest sable]

Russia is condemning russia (The people, I mean)

He seems to have went to bed though.

you just have to take everything with a grain of salt

[honest sable]

also: How about that ghost of Kiev eh?

[topaz hedge]

[topaz hedge]

Really ironic naming too given we dont know if this is the same guy or even whether the kill count exists

[vestal marlin]

Russia just deployed TU-95 Bears

[slim acorn]

The amount of kills has been confirmed

[vestal marlin]

1956 Bombers

yeah use this one from now on bennet

in bosphorus and dardanelles strait

There are Ukrainian ground forces holding them outside of Kyiv right now, yes?

sadly a lot of cool parts for my car are hoarded by collectors in russia

probably nothing that seeks to make the lives of people better

Ukranians seem to be saving their remaining jets for important moments, a couple SU-24s bombed that airport when they were overwhelming the VDV there

ooh

those were big booms

Tanks

Thats 125mm fire

Sic em ukraine, thats the farthest I'll go on saying

russian government is the baddies, russian troops are just regular people but still holding guns, but that is my personal opinion on the matter. i don't wish death on russian troops, I just wish they would leave ukraine

Chinese aircraft cross the taiwan ADIZ every day

nine is pretty low by the usual standards

[mental haven]

splintered from moldova long ago

Apparently the first target is still Hostomel

[sweet geyser]

yea 9 just below average numbers

[regal fjord]

The priority I mean

[sweet geyser]

numbers of their planes invading our airspace

[weak basalt]

It took a month of easily-visible buildup for russia to do this, China preparing to invade taiwan is an even bigger logistical nightmare, they'd need to prepare

[mental haven]

they have soviet ideology, but seem to identify with russia/see russia as the soviet successor state/something like that

Oh, someone has replied above.

[slim acorn]

Mistake has been fixed

[regal fjord]

Honestly whats really weird was that it was just tanks apparently pushing? No BMPs no BTRs no nothing, no actual anti-infantry support vehicles

Extremely weird way to push

[mental haven]

maybe they weren't supposed to push?

saw an opening and took it, wanted to be first to kyiv

[regal fjord]

Fuck if I know, but if they were going for the airport they'd need infantry anyway

[slim acorn]

Perhaps

[cinder grove]

hearing planes

[regal fjord]

Honestly thats just a rotten way to die if true

[hoary quiver]

They probably think that the VDV that were supposed to take the Airport are still Defending the Airport

[regal fjord]

[hoary quiver]

People have just straight up forgotten to tell people shit for whatever reason (yes ik that’s a stretch)

[vestal marlin]

Theres a NATO meeting tomorrow

[slim acorn]

Is there any chance of anything other than more sanctions?

[sweet geyser]

what if UN decides to send forces into there

[ebon walrus]

russia is in the UN

[fluid cairn]

rumbly

[sweet geyser]

will they ?

[mental haven]

in my opinion it's slim, but so many weird things have happened in the past few years, who knows

[brisk gazelle]

I think that's the tank's ammo cooking off

[ebon walrus]

so yes the UN has sent forces there lol

[brisk gazelle]

Bruh

[mental haven]

I realized this shortly after watching that second video that was sent, somehow heard that from kyiv

[slim acorn]

We’ll just have to see

[regal fjord]

Honestly sounds like a mix of both

But the only thing there would be to shoot would be bailing tank crews

[karmic ether]

Wait what the...

who

who are you

[mental haven]

possibly there's infantry we don't see in the video? thoughts on that?

[brisk gazelle]

Do we know if they're Russian tanks or from Ukraine?

[regal fjord]

The Mikening, cant you read?

[karmic ether]

-_-

[mental haven]

usokitsuki said they're russian

[brisk gazelle]

I'm Mike nice to meet you

Who are you?

[karmic ether]

Also Mike, the pleasure's mine

[brisk gazelle]

[slim acorn]

Mike the ODST with musical talent

[brisk gazelle]

It's actually a gun

[regal fjord]

Allegedly thats the russian armored column that passed Ivanivka

[brisk gazelle]

Look closely

[brisk gazelle]

[slim acorn]

New banana-yellow splotches

Up north

[cinder grove]

lighter shaded areas are newer / tentative

[mental haven]

oh yes I see now

wow, they allegedly pushed back a huge chunk of territory

[cinder grove]

like i said it's all tentative

[ruby hamlet]

Kherson and Kharkiv inaccurate

[cinder grove]

what should they look like?

[regal fjord]

Lviv got air raid sirens

There arent any feeds near there are there?

[fluid cairn]

beep beep

[regal fjord]

None that I know of

[ruby hamlet]

There is battle of Melitopol right now

[regal fjord]

More explosion sounds in Kyiv

Could be ammo detonations from the knocked out armor tho

[slim acorn]

Very rumbly

[edgy siren]

Let's keep the distinction between Russian government =/= Russians

[mental haven]

this is the only feed im able to find for Kherson. If the russians take this playset, we'll know

[slim acorn]

Thats the policy we’ve established

[regal fjord]

50+ VDV combat vehicles spotted so far and still counting

in Kherson

[slim acorn]

Amongst those currently here, right?

[edgy siren]

If anything, a reminder

[slim acorn]

Roger!

[cinder grove]

thats a boom

[mental haven]

hearing police/ambulance sirens in kiev

[slim acorn]

👍

[edgy siren]

I appreciate the self governing though

This is a tough time, and many involved can look here with despair

[regal fjord]

Gunfire in Kyiv!

[slim acorn]

That sounds like small arms

Cannot determine what exactly

[regal fjord]

https://twitter.com/sternenko/status/1497104772301615104 apparently some National Guard vehicles got captured by russians and are used for diversions

Serhii Sternenko (@sternenko)

Увага! https://t.co/YCRQJm5T7e

Twitter · Feb 25, 2022, 7:02 AM

[cinder grove]

Russian troops are within Kiev limits now (the armored spearhead at least)

[mental haven]

diversions?

[regal fjord]

Did they just say "fuck Hostomel" and went around?

So many movements make so little sense

[cinder grove]

bypassing is a valid strategy

and the reports are all hazy so idk what happened at hostomel

[regal fjord]

Yeah, but whats the point of throwing unsupported tanks at the thing you are bypassing

[mental haven]

still kinda feels like they weren't supposed to push

[cinder grove]

i think a lot of this coverage has been tainted by propaganda from both sides, and the other half is just unclear with many parts missing, which is why it makes little sense

[slim acorn]

Probably misinformation as well

[cinder grove]

ye

[mental haven]

the report of russians seizing 2 vehicles is confusing me

[cinder grove]

for example people keep sharing the video of the building hit by downed aircraft and saying it's the result of russian airstrikes

[mental haven]

what is the diversion?

[regal fjord]

No clue

Might be just trying to go into the rear

[mental haven]

they say there's russians in kyiv in that report, but theres light activity in the city

[ruby hamlet]

which one?

do you have this video?

[cinder grove]

the residential building in kiev that a plane crashed into last night

[analog depot]

Fighting happening at Hostomel again

[fluid cairn]

this?

[cinder grove]

yeah

[mental haven]

I'm hearing more explosions and vehicles moving

[cinder grove]

people then shared this image and called putin a war criminal

⚡️Ukrainian forces retake Melitopol.

Twitter · Feb 25, 2022, 7:01 AM

[analog depot]

Conflicting reports on who controls the airport at this time

[cinder grove]

but i'm 90% sure that image is of the building that got hit by plane debris, not airstrikes

[regal fjord]

They REALLY want Hostomel huh

Also emergency services sirens audible in Kyiv

[analog depot]

It's the only way they can actually sustain their logistical support

[regal fjord]

not sure if its police, firefighters, ambulances or all of the above

[analog depot]

They need that air bridge, without it, they ain't gonna take Ukraine for a while

[ruby hamlet]

Yesterday Russian aircraft attacked civilian house

[mental haven]

not sure if your feed is delayed usokitsuki, but I heard sirens earlier, and they suddenly stopped

[ruby hamlet]

i will try to find video

[cinder grove]

i've seen that video

[fluid cairn]

everyone has

[cinder grove]

the kid screams

[fluid cairn]

the one with the kid crying?

[ruby hamlet]

yes

[fluid cairn]

uhh

noise

[regal fjord]

I can hear explosions

[mental haven]

there must be a wild battle going on at hostomel

[analog depot]

Bro the Russians lost an entire tank column apparently at Hostomel, with heavy Russian losses, but could be propaganda

[mental haven]

maybe that armored group DID push up too early

[regal fjord]

Not sure how big of a tank column, but confirmed vehicles lost there

[eager mural]

Pretty sure the destruction would be far worse if the actual rocket hit that house

[regal fjord]

Can count 3 to 5 vehicles total from the footage

[mental haven]

the audio im hearing from kyiv seems to indicate the fighting is continuing

a lot of activity

[regal fjord]

30mm fire

[mental haven]

hearing more of that sound I was hearing earlier, either gunfire or the ammo explodin

[crimson breach]

Just woke up, are they in Kiev?

[cinder grove]

yes and no

[mental haven]

they're pushing to hostomel possibly, then also theres a large VDV group headed for Kherson, not sure about other fronts

seems misinformation is happening again

[cinder grove]

apparently a small group of them are in kiev, but the main force is outside the city still in clashes

[mental haven]

im still confused about that. if they are in kiev wtf are they doing? im not hearing anything like sirens or gunfire

[regal fjord]

Big explosion

Make that 2

[cinder grove]

probably like 10 or 15 guys who stole a truck and went on a joyride lol

[mental haven]

sounds like helicopters headed towards explosion sound, might just be me tho

[fickle cliff]

Guys

[cinder grove]

the taliban have called for "restraint" in ukraine

thanks taliban

[fickle cliff]

Ukrainian soldiers are crucifying Russian soldiers

[mental haven]

uhhh

[fluid cairn]

i saw

[fickle cliff]

I’m convinced someone has screwed with the timeline

[fluid cairn]

but i didnt buy it

[cinder grove]

source bruv

[mental haven]

not sure if thats real or not

[fickle cliff]

It’s real

[cinder grove]

okay you didnt have to post the actual video damn

[fickle cliff]

Poor bastard on the cross is VDV

[mental haven]

probably should delete)

[cinder grove]

delete that, you'll get in trouble

[mental haven]

fucked up

possibly those guys are azov battalion?

[fickle cliff]

Does azov have paratroopers?

I’m assuming azov are Russian

[mental haven]

azov are ukrainian militants

[cinder grove]

azov battalion is ukrainian

[fickle cliff]

Ah

Not sure

[mental haven]

i couldnt tell from the video who they belonged to but was obviously either ukrainian military or group with military gear

[regal fjord]

Azov are ukrainian far right militants absorbed into the standing army after 2014

[cinder grove]

🙄

[mental haven]

not really a fair assessment, to be honest

[regal fjord]

Every country has THOSE guys, and these are the ukrainian ones

[fickle cliff]

Their the equivalent of us southerners with guns and gear made part of us national guard

They’re just past the boog Bois on the spectrum

[eager mural]

Azov is actually one if the reasons ukranians being called nazis in russia

[mental haven]

azov should be destroyed

[cinder grove]

there's no proof that anyone was crucified

[fickle cliff]

I literally just posted a video

[mental haven]

i think ukraine should commit the azov battalion to the battle against that giant VDV armoured division

[fickle cliff]

I’ll send it to you if you want

[cinder grove]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crucified_Boy

[astral panther]

This war is fucked

[cinder grove]

russia has pulled this shit before

[fickle cliff]

Eastern Europe has been fucked for the last century

[regal fjord]

I've seen reports of Azov leader being killed early into the invasion, but I didn't find them credible enough to believe

[mental haven]

remember guys: take videos you see with a grain of salt. both sides are playing a heavy propaganda war, and anything you see could potentially be a lie or stretched truths

[fickle cliff]

Ww1, the splitting of austrohungary, the fall of the Russian empire, the communist revolutions, Russo polish war, ww2, the Cold War, the Balkans

[hoary quiver]

Wernt those guys in Maridpol when it was initially attacked?

[mental haven]

not entirely sure. wherever they are, they should die

[crimson breach]

Check metadatas for anachronistic éléments too btw

[regal fjord]

Generally the more fucked up thing someone is getting accused of, the more skeptical one should be of it tho

[mental haven]

this is the one time i honestly wish someone should not have peace, Azov are true nazis

[cinder grove]

i don't see how yall can instantly believe a video like that on first glance

[regal fjord]

I wouldn't be surprised if Azov crucified someone, but it would be a very stupid thing to do and then film of all things when your country literally is hanging on the western support

[fickle cliff]

It’s real

[mental haven]

yeah, dont let propaganda films fool you, we'll find out soon enough if such things happened recently

[cinder grove]

how do you know it's real
