What do we think of operation Spiders Web @MrFrankWhite?

Russias Pear Harbour? Will the Russians care? Does it change the course of war? When and how will it all end?

And did they really shut the US out of any knowledge or is that to protect the US from repercussions?

Spiders web would have to be up there with the Hezbollah pager attack. Some clever, patient dudes around.

lol. Of course it’s 100% true. I heard the Ghost Of Kiev was the mastermind and he took off from Snake Island with a big sign that said “Fuck Putin”

The Mossad pager attack was at least real and 100% factual. In fact the IDF probably downplayed it due to the number of women and children caught. All UKR does is fabricate the size and effectiveness of it operations. The made a fucking movie about their counteroffensive, only to lose 1/5 of their capabilities.

Troop casualties in Ukraine near 1.4 million, a study found​

Nearly 1 million Russian troops have been killed or wounded in the war in Ukraine, according to a study released yesterday. Roughly 400,000 Ukrainian troops were also estimated to have been killed or wounded, bringing the total casualties of the three-year conflict to a staggering 1.4 million.

The Center for Strategic and International Studies, a U.S.-based think tank that compiled the study, cautioned that casualty figures were difficult to estimate. But the tally still presents an accounting of the grinding conflict. Russia’s territorial gains have been slower than even the bogged-down and costly Somme advance of British and French troops in World War I, the study said. Since January 2024, Russia has seized less than 1 percent of Ukrainian territory.

On the battlefield: Kyiv said its troops struck the Crimean bridge yesterday for the third time. Over the weekend, remotely operated Ukrainian drones emerged from hiding inside Russia and began attacking airfields. These videos show what happened.

The warzonewire confirms US satellite imagery has confirmed bombed out or drone bombed Russian strategic bombers

While it may not be 41 as claimed on Ukr appears 20 plus in on the money

Thanks for that. I’d still be hesitant to rely on US intelligence complex numbers n this conflict. Considering their culpability.

And ineptitude at times.... Iraq's WMD?

How about Russia's culpability Frank? Quite large I'd say.

 

[MrFrankWhite]

That was deliberate at the top and inept at the bottom. A junior analyst would get reprimanded if they presented the evidence Colin Powell did with a ALMOST CERTAIN assessment.

The originator of the weapons of mass destruction lie was Netanyahu.

I have not seen anyone say the Ukrainians are toothless. They are a brave commited opposition for Russia. No doubt they hurt Russia but the analogy with Pearl Harbour is true in that in both instances were not v8tal blows.

As for casualties American think tanks are paid for usually by the military industrial complex. They even walked it back in the article. I saww another assessment that the Ukrainians are losing 1,300 soldiers a day.

One thing is true and applies to both sides. On war truth is the first casualty.

Pretty easy to justify your culpability when at war on your border..

So who provided the satellite imagery of the Russian airbases with the nuclear defence infrastructure..
