War

It’s pretty jaw dropping how inept the ground fight is from the Russians …. Urban guerilla warfare for the win.
Ping their phones and drop fire on them .
Most of their soldiers are no better trained than the Ukrainian soldiers and irregulars quickly trained. Don't confront the Russians in the open countryside, do it in the urban areas. The Russians will end up paying for the post war prosperity that will rebuild it and Russian prisoners will clean up the rubble, paid to do it out of Vlad's money. If Vlad has 200 billion bucks stashed overseas, he could be the first asshole in history to pay for the war he caused. 200 billion in a country of 45 million, that's say 10 to 20% destroyed, adds up to a lot of restitution and compensation for the citizens of Ukraine and there's even more Russian money available if required.

Putin says Russia will get rid of traitors 'like gnats'
Russian President Vladimir Putin said that traitors to Russia would be spit out “like gnats” while speaking to government ministers on Wednesday about his war on Ukraine, Reuters reported.
Thousands of Russians have been arrested for protesting against the country’s invasion. Putin suggested that getting rid of defectors would “strengthen” the country, calling it a “cleansing.”

"I am convinced that this natural and necessary self-cleansing of society will only strengthen our country, our solidarity, cohesion and readiness to meet any challenge," Putin said, according to Reuters.

Earlier this month, Putin signed legislation that penalized people for spreading “fake news” about what he calls a military operation, while many news outlets have halted their operations or adjusted protocols to protect their journalists.

Dmitry Peskov, a spokesperson for the Kremlin, told Reuters that people who leave their jobs or the country over the invasion were traitors.
"They are vanishing from our lives themselves. Some people are leaving their posts, some are leaving their active work life, some leave the country and move to other countries. That is how this cleansing happens," Peskov told the news outlet

A brain drain. Bad for Russia, good for the west.

Every one who leaves will have brains and be educated, it will be the greatest brain drain in human history. 70% of young people don't like Putin and most know the truth, young people under 30 do most of the fighting.

Pretty expensive temper tantrum.

You pay too much for the Harley name and they are all foreign parts so not even made in the US any more so the hell with that. Those sure don't look like off-road tires on the bike either. The whole design is street racer style and doesn't look off-road at all to me.

I'm only 140lbs so don't need huge power and the Ural has more than enough. Cool looking rig too and about 1/3 the price and twice the mileage. Even a spare fuel can for getting back down off the mountains I'd be climbing with mine. Big trunk under that spare tire, can have two passengers or room for the groceries and/or fishing tackle with the sidecar. I'll want the enclosure for the sidecar with windshield for passenger comfort and keep the weather off my stuff. Manually engaged drive axle for the sidecar so should be able to go anywhere a horse can go. :)

Got the money sitting in the bank but it's kind of part of my inheritance and good old mom is still around and doing pretty good for being 95 this August. Probably going to outlive me but after losing one of two sisters 2 years ago she wants to go next.

"We've been beheaded." Where do Russian missiles and bombs fly?
During the three weeks of the special operation in Ukraine, Russian troops, armies of the DPR and LPR almost completely cut off the Armed Forces of Ukraine from the coast of the Sea of Azov, occupied dozens of settlements in the south of the country, blockaded Kyiv, Kharkov and Chernihiv in the north. Aviation and high-precision weapons destroyed the main military infrastructure of the enemy. About the most painful blows - in the material of RIA Novosti.

During the three weeks of the special operation in Ukraine, Russian troops, armies of the DPR and LPR almost completely cut off the Armed Forces of Ukraine from the coast of the Sea of Azov, occupied dozens of settlements in the south of the country, blockaded Kyiv, Kharkov and Chernihiv in the north. Aviation and high-precision weapons destroyed the main military infrastructure of the enemy. About the most painful blows - in the material of RIA Novosti.

"On mercenaries - fire"

The Russian Aerospace Forces quickly gained air superiority, and the Navy took control of the Sea of Azov and most of the Black Sea. The Ukrainian air defense system ceased to exist as a whole, and the surviving aircraft were relocated to western airfields.

Demilitarization is proceeding, albeit on a grand scale, but very carefully: the Ministry of Defense has repeatedly emphasized that over four thousand military infrastructure facilities were hit with precision weapons.

It was with "smart" ammunition that the other day they hit the notorious Yavorovsky training ground in the Lviv region. Here, since 2015, NATO instructors have been training Ukrainian soldiers and officers in the tactics of modern combined arms combat. With the start of the special operation, the training ground was re-qualified as a collection point for Western mercenaries and a transshipment base for European and American weapons that come across the border every day.

Presumably, X-101 cruise missiles from Tu-160 strategic bombers were used here. According to the Russian Defense Ministry, up to 180 private traders from NATO countries and Ukrainian military personnel, as well as a large batch of Western hardware, were destroyed. According to numerous posts on social media, "wild geese" are returning home en masse. They realized that fighting Russia is not the same as fighting Iraq or Afghanistan.

The Kiev authorities were finally convinced that even the western regions are within the reach of the Russian army. Moreover, Moscow said that convoys with NATO weapons entering the country from Poland are also considered legitimate targets for pilots and gunners. An attack on the Yavorovsky training ground will significantly complicate further support of the Armed Forces of Ukraine by the West.

“A special military operation is being carried out not only along the line of contact in Donbass, but throughout the entire military infrastructure of Ukraine using high-precision weapons,” says military expert Oleksiy Leonkov. The blocking of the group in the Donbass will continue, but Ukrainian servicemen who lay down their arms are not in danger."

Rocket ultimatum
Another strategically important result is the blockade of Zmeiny Island in the western part of the Black Sea. At first, Ukrainian border guards refused to disarm. But after several rocket salvos from the ships of the Russian Navy, 82 servicemen surrendered without resistance. Now it is possible to place air defense systems, coastal complexes here and keep at gunpoint almost the entire Black Sea area and part of southern Europe.

At the same time, they attacked the military infrastructure, which was created for Kyiv by NATO specialists. So, they hit the naval operations center in Ochakovo, which is being built with US money. Formally for Kyiv, in fact - for the Americans. It is noteworthy that the 73rd Naval Special Operations Center of the Ukrainian Navy was nearby. Obviously, saboteurs were being trained there to be sent to the Russian Crimea.

They also struck at the objects of the military-industrial complex of Ukraine, so that the Armed Forces of Ukraine could not restore equipment and replenish ammunition. In particular, on March 14 they destroyed the large Artem ammunition plant in Kyiv and the Impuls enterprise in the Sumy region, the only one in Ukraine that produces detonator caps, electric detonators, and detonating cords. Taking into account the fact that most of the arsenals and warehouses have already blown up, the disabling of these sites will seriously affect the combat capability of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.


After Mariupol
On the Donetsk front, the main target now is Mariupol. The strategically important sea city is still partially controlled by the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and as soon as it is finally cleared of the enemy, the freed forces will be thrown into the encirclement of the group that is shelling the capital of the DPR from the west and north.

“The next stage of our offensive is Avdiivka and Peski,” said an officer of the DPR army with the call sign Bereza. “The Ukrainians fortified there for eight long years. In recent days, Russian aviation has been increasingly attacking enemy positions near Donetsk. The intensity of enemy artillery fire after such "visits" is sharply reduced."

As RIA Novosti was told by sources in the republican army, the groups in the Donbass were actually beheaded: the heads of the operational commands "North" and "East" Generals Dmitry Krasilnikov and Yuri Solod died last week. Only one thing follows from this: the Armed Forces of Ukraine are now only capable of focal resistance.
Ukraine doesn't even fucking have 4000 military installations, that's just fucking ludicrous...if the russians believe bullshit that is this transparent, this obviously propaganda, then they deserve to roast with putin...
"They realized that fighting Russia is not the same as fighting Iraq or Afghanistan."...yeah, the Iraqis and Afghanis actually knew how to fight, and didn't abandon good vehicles for the enemy
