Show of force? 🤣
What’s so funny joker?
@Per-Einar Dahlen more like Moskva -1.0
@hellgates_javed Potato voters wanting war with Russia is hilarious.
Oh I’m shaking in my boots
Russia sucks
This war has been going on for nearly a year now and every day I have been amazed at the bravery and tenacity of the Ukrainian military and civilians. Some days have also brought tears, like when the little girl sang “Frozen” while they were huddled up in a basement. Glory to Ukraine.
@Toxic Haste ill take things that didn’t happen for $100, Alex
@Angelo Pugliese просто есть правда. она всегда есть. но вот дошла ли она до вас? я вчера видел как ПАРОВОЗ на украине состав тянет. как вам такая пропаганда?

@kasper7297 а вьетнам сильная страна?
According to media ukraine is winning. Shouldn’t they have won by now?
They should invent the Putin scale for measuring failure. It’s should be measured in increments of Putins – 0.1 Putins would be not too bad and 1 Putin (or full Putin) would be equivalent to what’s happening today – just like the worst mistake one human can make ever in the history of the Universe.
What would the US have done if it relied 99% on intelligence to take out Noriega? #1 we aren’t that stupid, Operation Just Cause was a success because we had a capable military and didn’t depend on a palace coup and cutting off the head of every city snake. Putin failed on day one and it was over by day 3.
Why the hell didn’t he simply turn around and go back to the borders -because he is an abject failure, but mainly because he shook DJT’s hand in Helsinki (and God knows what else) and as we all know everything the golden boy touches turns to sh*t.
Lol Moscow is standing and Ukraine is a pile of Rubel lol
Good idea!
Bidens sounds better.
@James Smith
Not for long
I love how the russia keep trying to intimidate with weapons, but only succeed in proving UKRAINE AND NATO correct…
“Appear weak when you are strong, and strong when you are weak.” ― Sun Tzu,
@Claude Pelletier I am sure he does not and I am sure you are right, but give him the choice, then act accordingly.
I guess one way to do it, would be to do the “or else” and turn the Russian people against him completely.
It would not be the first time a Coup has been staged in Russia.
@ミスティドラゴン No need to apologies, but thank you :0)
No, I am certainly not “Pro Russian” and I am like you, ignorant to the ins and outs of what it takes to run a War, but sadly not averse to knowing how to win one and to win one, Governments have to be more decisive.
I am a great believer in “fight firer, with firer” and I feel that is what is needed here.
72 Countries behind Ukraine and as I have said, I have no idea how many behind Russia, but from what I can gleam, there are not many and certainly none with the power of the West, so give Putin that ultimatum and if he wont listen, sod him.
Let us put an end to it, oust Putin, get someone sane in, because quite clearly, Putin is nuts and we are letting him be nuts and more importantly. letting him roam free, to do what he likes.
I am 100% behind what you say: I too would rather see it end soon and I am like you and neutral.
I have nothing against Russia, or the Russian People, I have many, many friends who are Russian and I even speak the language, as I would feel, having the friends I do have, it would be ignorant not to, it is Putin my beef is with and he needs to be stopped and the Russian friends I do have, all agree with me.
@Arcadius Amen to everything you say and as i have said, the thing I am finding the most frustrating, is the dithering.
When will the time come, when the West says: “enough is enough” and actually goes after Putin.
People are telling me, “the West is helping Ukraine out, but they need to fight their own battle” and they are of course right, but things are progressively getting worse, in the UK and Germany, the two Countries where I live, the economy is getting worse by the week.
People I know, who were well off, are now on the brink of starvation, I myself am struggling and I have not struggled since the early 70’s and, I help my neighbours out when they come calling, with a little bit here and there, but I cannot keep it up, I am asking myself: “why are we all struggling? Just get on with it already and get it over with!”
To be honest, I personally would rather WWIII started and resolve all this, no matter what the cost and at least put an end to it, because at the moment things are only going to get worse and how long before it all collapses, all together.
Put an end to Putin and his madness.
@Neo Varley Downes As American Too I one with many Russian friends overall they’re great people to hang out around.
Ukraine, my hearth is with you. Win this war.
You seem to read the news like a military expert.
I can’t imagine spending a hypersonic missile to take out a handful of tanks when you can’t afford regular ammo.
@Эндрю they keep fighting cause Putis ordering it all while driving his federation into a collapse the rest of the military world is laughing at him
@Andy Hughes Democracy>Fascism
@Jordan Cobb lol 😂 sure how about the Americans when they couldn’t beat a bunch of Middle Eastern stay in caves the word from the Stone Age and what happen in Vietnam L0 Al
@hasitha Kumarasiri the Himars missiles also reach hypersonic speeds as they slam into targets. Just see what Himars are doing in Ukraine. Stop sleeping. You are the joke of the century…
@Andy Hughes
Ukraine is winning. As long as America is behind them the Russians are doomed.
Real warrior’s God bless you all Ucranians
Hold on Ukraine! I wish all Ukrainian soldiers bravery and strength.
Me too because they are lead by a corrupt, inept clown who will get them all killed.
I vistied South Africa in 2008/2009, about 6.5 weeks in total across CPT, JHB, etc….its still to this day my most cherished travel experience (I’m British). It does indeed pain me to see such an amazing country becoming brainwashed by Putin and ultimatly get dragged into this invasion of Ukraine. It won’t be an easy future for RSA. Not lekka at all!
The majority of thinking South Africans are totally against this exercise with Russia and China and stand with Ukraine and the west. Unfortunately the ANC corrupt government, like so many other African Governments, have long standing ties with “Communist Russia and China” so suck up to these countries for more handouts and kickbacks to fill the empty coffers. The ANC’s mindless followers feel important and emboldened when they are in the news and showing anti west sentiment despite the fact the country is being hollowed out on a daily basis.
@peter sarzzs as are you
Western countries & its Industries benefited a Lot from Apartheid Russians & Chinese helped to Destroy the Evil system
What do you expect from monkeys, it only takes a few peanuts.
🤣 stop it you warmonger. Leave Africa alone. We won’t fight your stupid wars🤣
I never thought I would cheer on German tanks rolling towards east
Nazis getting brand new German tanks, and the allies are helping this time around, hail Hydra stuff lol
@Aman
The only Nazis wear those ridiculous Russian uniforms
@Grandpa Gamer
Go for it. We’ll wipe Russia off the map.
The Germans sending tanks to support Nazis is not really a big surprise at all
14 tanks. Don’t forget the Russian and the Prussian are one family since thousend years. Sometimes there is no internal war. Molotoff Rippentrop 2.0 the partition of Ukraine.
Bunker Hill, The Alamo, and I expect Soledar will be remembered similarly. A won battle, but a loss in the war situation. A win like this only serves to further demoralize an already demoralized army. As they advance past the 100s or 1000s of mangled bodies belonging to their brothers and friends sent to their deaths for such an inconsequential win.
If things weren’t going bad enough for Russia already, they’re going to be in a world of hurt once Ukraine deploys these Leopard, Abrams and Challenger tanks, arguably the 3 best MBT’s in the world.
“Glorious *MOSKVA* is greatest ship in navy! She is pride and joy of Russia!”
And she was.
😅🤣😆😆🤣😂😁
My name is Hector and I have nothing but love and respect for you the Ukrainian people. Fight Ukraine fight
There’s been so much discussion regarding the tanks being approved finally, and then the months, and months of necessary training for the various equipment before they’re able to get them into Ukraine and on the battlefield.
The reality is these tanks amongst other weapons have been being discussed for quite awhile now. Ukrainian military has been being schooled with them now for quite awhile.
Logistic pathways, and other critical elements for such weapons have been laid out, and assuredly even prepared already.
These weapons are likely to begin operation far sooner than the discussions are stating regarding them, and this surely includes media reporting.
While a thorough training regime must be implemented for integration purposes, and a host of other reasons the Ukrainian Armed Forces have proven extremely intelligent regarding many Western systems already.
Yes, there is some very heavy metal instruments about to be heard from.
Regarding the Russian hypersonic missiles, Ukraine has already seen them used. While they’re of course a threat, every threat has an answer, and we’ll just leave that right there.
The Chinese, South African, and Russian Naval exercises can happen any time they wish. As long as there is no breaches of international and maritime boundaries, law and are not in a coordinated threat posture. They are observed, recorded, and reviewed as typical.
Our focus in the meantime is rightfully on the needs, and support of the nation of Ukraine, and there’ll be no nation that changes this.
Thank you,
🇺🇲🇺🇦
Glory to God,
Victory for Ukraine,
Rise Free Nations!
It was said the T-90 could penetrate the Abrams armor if it was able to hit a couple of sensitive areas on it, But the Abrams can penetrate the T-90 from any angle and place on its entirety, the Abrams tank is not something to dismiss as just another tank.
Do u have any experience to destroy t90 or u r just a dreamer? Kurds Taliban Syrians got experienced to annihilate all kind of NATO tanks using very old Russian weapons. Moreover Serbs landed American phantom jet by oldest soviet s300. Moreover the real ratio of jets losses on Korea and Vietnam was 1 to 6 in favour of Russians. So be careful my dear white superman
@vato loco All tanks in Yeman were downgraded export models
@vato loco Export Models.
Export tanks are well.. Tanks made for export use. For other countries to buy.
They are relatively cheaper than the original models, but also have some major drawbacks.
The Export model of the Abrams lacks the Depleted Uranium mesh armor. And instead, uses an old variant of the Chobham.
@vato loco so you’re saying that the saudis have the same armour as the Americans ….?
@vato loco tanks don’t stand a chance without infantry support. Those Saudi-manned Abrams tanks go to the field alone which is a no-no. I don’t care if you’re the most powerful tank, if it’s alone, I can ambush it by foot even throw a molotov at it. Tanks in essence, are just moveable artillery cannons, and like any artillery cannons they only excel if the infantry support is there.
Any place when there are enemies should be contested. It’s just a matter of who really is more capable and consistent in battle. Guts and courage does matter also. Those a little bit coward and felt more nervous, well, retreat is the answer.
I’d just like to acknowledge Frederik Pleitgen for all the work he’s done to bring news to us from Ukraine.
