Is that the war that began in 1939 or the one the US thinks began in 1941?
The Soviets lost more infantry than any other country in WW2, but does that figure include Stalin’s mass killings?
Finally, we will sent some weapons, I hope it’s not to late.
Thanks @Livvy for the update.
Stingers? They aren’t very modern, are they? But probably be useful against helicopters.
1000 Panzerfaust is a real help, and 500 stingers can be potent. Russia use their helo fleet extensively. Germany’s turn from sticking the head in the sand is to be applauded even though it comes late.
Anti-Air and Anti-Amour. Nice! I think they must have been reading this thread.
Happening now:
Strategic bombing:
@Magnus have you got any information regarding Odessa or the western Ukraine?
An Ukrainian friend asked me to share these links.
Mariupol, east of Odessa, surrounded now. Russians are moving towards Odessa. There was supposed to be a naval amphibious landing. Possibly it was botched. There is no fighting currently in Odessa. But note please, that today Russia is sending in more BTG’s. Fronts are moving. We may see several collapses. Mariupol front has collapsed. Also reported large Russian gains (villages) in Donbas today. Separatists and regulars attacking fiercely under artillery carpet.
But fog of war. I will look for map advances a bit later tonight.
As can be seen here, more forces inbound to the battlefield:
This comes as they have taken Mariupol airport and surrounded the city.

It is not so strange these things are happening during the fog of war.
Surprisingly Ukraine still has active TB2 drones:
Nr. of losses cannot be confirmed though. I always take the numbers with a slight grain of salt, but it is now under no doubt that Russia has lost several air assets !
I’m very surprised that Russia hasn’t/isn’t using drones extensively. They depending on aircraft, helicopter, and cruise missiles for air attack.
It’s definitely late and therefore no need for applause, but I’m not sure people realise what a seismic shift this is for German politics with regards to Russia. Decades going down the drain within days.
Fuck
But those are reconnaissance drones, not attack drones.
