Actually Mykolaiv's been contested between Russian and Ukrainian forces for awhile.Russia never took Mykolaev to begin with. More transparent propaganda to make it look like Ukraine is winning when in fact it is losing and decisively.
Uh, for some reason I thought it was built much more heavily.It is usually a prefab, internally hollow concrete pannel and some steel, so maybe?
Probably depends on the caliber, .50 cal might go through.
Some are, the military usually got much sterdier large-area formwork, those apartment buildings are legendarily resilient, but most plebs got plattenbau apartments in blocks of 7 -10 floors at most.Uh, for some reason I thought it was built much more heavily.
Well, their MO thus far has been, stick your military in hospitals and kindergartens and populated areas, like when they put artillery between apartment buildings.
Fielded? You can count all the Oplots in the in the Ukrainian in the fingers of one hand. I wouldn't be surprised if they were either in Kharkov or Kiev waiting for the Russians(just most of the best IJA tanks never saw action, being husbanded for the invasion of Japan).How effective were the T-84 Oplots that Ukraine had fielded so far? I haven’t heard about their deployment so far, and those modified tanks are slightly better than most Russian tanks that are deployed.
You know military intelligence agencies edit these videos to be lower quality before releasing so they can hide how good optics are right?Would Russians just do that? Just go on the internet and tell lies?
Truly impressive operational craft from the Russians; they are consistently able to strike targets despite their drone's camera resolution being perhaps 1/4th of the ones the Ukrainians use. Exceptional training. Slightly frustrating though, as I can't actually see what they're blowing up.
Not seeing any action or explosions on the livestreams.Currently on break at work and using my phone. Apparently there has been massive strikes on Kyiv, their Air Defense fired off a large number of SAMs and sat recon shows fires throughout the city.

"To Berlin" could be anti-NATO sentiment but I would not put high confidence in that. It seems very plausible that it's just fetishizing past glories (same as USSR/empire sentimentality) and "to Berlin" is something they did in the past to show how strong they were so naturally some dumbfuck paints it on the side of his ride without thinking any further than that.To Berlin!
Even if you want to downscale video to mask the real capabilities of the platform, there's no need to go down to like fucking 240i or whatever to do so, or if there is that's almost as damning.Then why is all the drone footage being released by the Ukrainians of substantially higher quality? Or imagery the US releases? (Here's another example. And another.)
Don't the Americans take military intelligence seriously as well?
