Russian Ukrainian War

[Spitfire IX]

Once introduced on the battlefield, F-16s will increase the Ukrainian Air Force’s air-to-air capabilities. Leveraging its combat-proven radar, coupled with variants of the AIM-120 AMRAAM missile, Ukraine will extend its maximum air-to-air engagement range up to 180 km. This is an appreciable engagement range improvement compared to Ukraine’s Soviet-era MiG-29 and Su-27 fighter aircraft. Additionally, Ukrainian F-16s can more effectively disrupt Russian close air support missions across contested battlefields. During the summer of 2023, Russian helicopters impeded and delayed the Ukrainian counteroffensive. With the introduction of the F-16, these helicopters will become vulnerable and less effective in supporting Russian defensive or offensive operations. Lastly, expect Ukrainian F-16s to suppress the long-range glide bombs tactics Russian fighters have adeptly used around Kharkiv.

Whether an Su-24 was/was not shot down by an F-16, the F-16 limits use of Russian assets. If it downs no Russian aircraft but deters them from going where they are needed, I think it will have done a good job.

I look forward to many Russian cruise missiles (and glide bombs, if possible) being downed by F-16's while Ukrainian pilots build up hours on the type.

The Russians have acquired the Shahed-101.

An episode of the battle of the Russian assault group from Samara, in the Pokrovsky direction. The assault group, consisting of a BTR-82A and a buggy, was tasked with landing troops. The video shows the assault group breaking through to a populated area and landing troops. During the retreat of the BTR-82A, it was attacked by five Ukrainian FPV drones. It is unknown how, but the Russian BTR-82A withstood all five attacks. The BTR-82A is equipped with a homemade protection system called "Mangal", but due to the low quality of the video, the elements of the protection cannot be seen. The video is shortened, only the key moments of the battle are shown.

Footage of the Russian FPV drone "Prince Vandal Novgorodsky", controlled via fiber optic cable. In the video, the FPV drone "Vandal" attacks the rear of a Ukrainian T-72AMT tank. The T-72AMT tank is an updated version of the Soviet T-72 tank, produced in 2017 at the Kiev Armored Plant. Many upgrades have been made to the tank. In terms of protection, the tank is close to the Russian T-72B3 tanks. Please note that when the drone attacks, a Ukrainian pickup truck with electronic warfare systems can be seen on the road, but since the drone is controlled via fiber optic cable, the electronic warfare does not affect it. As a result of the drone strike, the T-72AMT tank was destroyed, it is unknown whether the crew managed to leave the tank. The video was filmed in the border area of the Kursk region of Russia.

There is no one yet. Different experts make different predictions. My opinion: it all depends on the number of North Korean brigades. 2-3 brigades will not change the situation. Also, there is no sign of North Korean military equipment being transferred to them. It is pointless to use Russian reserves, the Russian units themselves are equipped with 50-60% of the necessary armored vehicles.
But the appearance of North Korean troops suggests that Putler is running out of people willing to sign a contract with the army.
Putler's all-in is falling apart. We saw how the Russians liberated Olgivka in the Kursk region - it is no more.

How many myths are collapsing about the Great Patriotic War. This is how they liberated villages from the Germans - drive a BM-13 battalion and a Pe-2 regiment and the entire village into dust. The enemy troops will retreat, but Russian civilians will turn into shreds.

I do not know what involvement NK has apart from supplying arms and ammunition. I think it would be foolhardy for Putin to pull in NK troops. If he chose to cross that line, he would invite the possibility of forces from European countries becoming involved in Ukraine. Experienced pilots flying M2K aircraft for Ukraine would not be helpful to Russia either.

Putin has tried insisting from the start that this war is to be conducted by the West according to Russia's rules. The US has been Russia's main supporter in this regard - much to the chagrin of several (but not all) European states. I do not think that most European states would accept any dictate from the US that NK forces can fight in Ukraine but forces from European states cannot.

And I look forward to Russians downing many F-16s and putting the kibbosh on the mythic invincibility of western weapons.

European troops are already involved. You got Polish, Finns, Latvians, Estonians, and Canadians etc fighting on the frontlines.

Polish, Finnish Latvian etc, armed forces? I don't think so. I said 'European states', not citizens of European states.

Come on, that's fiction. You got soldiers from these armed forces being stationed in Ukraine providing secondary support.

I can't see a credible source. If it is true, what is the response? NK is already sanctioned, isn't it?

The Ukronazis want to desperately get other parties involved in the war, they are creating strawmens and ghosts hoping to get more moolah from Uncle Sam and Aunty nazi. However, US is now concentrating on its first love and so it has no more to spare for galicians.

 

[Akim]

By the way, who saw the MTLB converted into an APC? This is its last moment.

Regular units of Italy and Germany arrived in Spain in 1936 with their military equipment. Will the NK troops get THIS and 2A28 guns (from the BMP-1) instead of mortars?

One thing for sure, that the NK people have it undivided dedication toward their dictator (!) atleast . They will die rather than surrendering.
The new russian tactics is like bypassing all the direct confrontation and seek the flanks to encircle the ukrainian pockets or leaving one single outward road for ukrainians which russia secures the path as fire covered. That's a good way to preserve own manpower while dealing psychological pressure on enemy that they are gona sit idle defending a point while being encircled from all sides without much direct fights.
Now here is the problem... one needs to keep enormous manpower constantly employed to keep the flanks covered and occupied while doing sanitization of the contact lines at a same span. Russia is doing the same at atleast 7 fronts at a time. That needs a big chunk of manpower getting blocked.
SO,the DPRK volunteers will come handy, they will keep the cordon up, while cleaning the holds slowly making the actual experienced russian forces free to attack new flanks before the winter or season change closes up.

OR.

The DPRK volunteers will be just used as recon cannon fodders or showstoppers to locate the defensive points and clusters of Ukrainian troops. That way russia will save much of its soldiers remaining.

Plus you have active service men who take (((voluntary retirement))) then become mercenaries or join the Ukranian Foreign Legion equivalent to fight for Ukraine from these countries.

Ofc in small numbers, nobody is throwing their own guys in bulk into this meatgrinder

 

[Akim]

Probably these are Russian guys.

I'm tired of reading the crows of roosters. Foreigners have always been in wars. The reasons are different. Apparently Modi came and there was no goal to take Indian citizens from this war.
Now the question will be how to treat captured Koreans - as combatants of the RF or NK? Under what flag will they go into battle?
Russia attracted different mercenaries and the machine gun doesn't care whether it is from Africa, Nepal or North Korea.
