i have not read enough on the topic but i can well believe it.


I think the real problem appears when it's about to re-take the stolen land ... Defensive positions...
At this point we can expect "some" results from Ukrainians, yet it's very possible they manage to make some good job, again.

I alluded to expected Ukraine gains throughout 2023 previously (which is why I believe Russia will have to conscript more men later in the year).

For the few i know they are planning to encircle entire areas, cutting lines. No idea if it will be that easy with all the mines russians put everywhere.

Got this from ^prox1m1ty who proceeded to block me. What triggered him?

Another interesting video how russians tanks are feeling the heat:

With amazing british accent like ^ferdia loves it

Cute video. I would prefer you do a short summary of those 10 minute videos and try to give us your analysis against facts they are omitting.

Great smooth British accent. Terrible choice of suit, nothing works (wrong collar, wrong tie knot etc). Cute to see his “analysts” looking extremely busy while browsing memes in the background.



I understand Russians have indeed lost a number of armored vehicles in Ukraine already. I have a feeling the video confused tank losses with armor losses (eg APCs, artilleries and so on). I also understand that Oryx is an pro-Ukranian source so their data should be taken with a grain of salt.

Russians are claiming they have demolished 8000+ pieces of Ukranian armoured vehicles. I would say truth is probably half of that from both sources. Nobody really knows except militaries of both armies and I’m sure they will be court marshaled for disclosing any real numbers.

Pretty sure that guy is suspended from PARD for the mental breakdown he had in here not long ago. I think he just rage reads the thread and messages insults to anyone he disagrees with before blocking them.

I got one too lol

I think he got temp banned from PARD as I see a fresh warn on his profile - so now he is raging as he cannot comment directly.

I was quite surprised to receive this message as my post was one of the mildest ones I’ve done here.

Welp, this is a loss for Team NATO. Shame as we need both teams balanced and preferably able to articulate themselves - else we end up in an echo chamber.

Oryx concatenates proofs of vehicles destructions. Since the time and considering the gigantic amount of videos exposing their poor tactics... It is acquired/validated that Russians lost massive amount of tanks (and others].

Do they concatenate Ukranian losses? Eg are they choosing sides? If they do - this raises credibility about their reporting.

I’m not familiar with Oryx. First time I’ve heard about them from your video and had to Google who they are.

I dont understand what you asked meanwhile there (so he probably wont understand either) can ask your question another way, with you caveat included ?
( i dont understand what you mean by choosing sides).

Well the problem I have is independent reporting nowadays.

Majority of outlets are choosing sides eg RT/Sputnik/TASS obviously explain how Russia is winning. NYTimes/WSJ/UK outlets seems to be continuously explaining how Russians are on the brink of losing.

If you read AlJazeera they are anti-US, but anti-war as well. SouthChina Post seems to promote Chinese point of view (as expected).

Belligncat seems quite good overall although I personally do not like Navalny whom they clearly support.

I quite like Dutch journalists covering this - they are often raising difficult questions to explain the conflict better.
