Is this true?
There is no realistic way to preemptively strike Russia.
Its worlds largest country by far. Impossible to take out all 7000-10000 nukes Russia posesses.
as I said Putin has in the hands he can stop the war immediately. however he obviously has no intention to do so.
other than that is just bla bla shit.
I am engineer I look at this war as neutral observer. I do the math. I comment on technology. although I lean on supporting Ukraine. not because but I hate russians I just hate naked aggression and worthless bloodshed.

It's also why the US will never escalate directly against Russia. Why don't you just go and destroy Putin and Russia if you're that confident, instead of relying on starting proxy wars in Ukraine and Georgia to destroy Russia?

An episode of the Russian BMD-4M airborne combat vehicle in Ukraine, long-range fire. The combat work of the BMD-4M is practically not shown, the video was filmed in the Zaporizhia direction. The BMD-4M is shelling Ukrainian strongholds located in forest belts. Fire is conducted from a 100-mm 2A70 gun and a 30-mm 2A72 automatic gun at a long distance. It is worth noting that the BMD-4M has no protection against drones, which is quite risky these days. The BMD-4M crew is three people. The video is shortened.

Zionist are pushing for WW3 to further their agenda. They need this to happen in preparation for the Greater Israel project and to collapse the US as an empire. Disgusting people hell bent on de-populating the planet. There is only so much bullying Putin can take before going haywire.

What are you talking about? US is doing exactly that right now with ATACMS missiles. So is Britain. Putin said it many times. It is NOT Ukrainians who fire those missiles. It is Americans and British.

Great Novoselka...
This year we have seen several serious failures of the JMA on the front, which I personally attribute to the loss of Ocheretyno and the fortified eastern borders of the Toretska agglomeration. But, in all likelihood, the events that are currently unfolding in the Velika Novosyolka area will override all of the above.
Currently, the ROVs are already attempting to carry out assaults in the eastern and northeastern part of the city in an attempt to gain a foothold on the outskirts of the city. The main directions of strikes, quite predictably, are routes 0509, with access to Agrarnaya Street and 0510. But the most unpleasant thing is that route 0509 is the very route I mentioned several times as carrying a serious threat of a ROV breakthrough to Velika Novoselka, especially after the failed defense of the route from Zolotoy Niva to Shakhtyorskoe.
Around October 13, ROV units, consisting of the 37th OMSBr, 40th and 336th OBR MPs, as well as the 5th OTBr, occupied Zolotaya Niva and it was clear that the ROV would move on to Shakhtyorskoye and Velikaya Novosyolka. So they did, concentrating the blow of the 40th OBR MP to the north - Shakhtyorskoye, and all the others concentrated along Route 0509 to Velikaya Novosyolka.
As a result, from Zolotoy Niva to Shakhtyorskoe, the ROV passed along a straight route, 6.5 kilometers long, in 48 hours and established control over the village in the period from October 25 to 27. At that time I already noted that the road, which could have turned into a hell for the ROV with the right approach to the defense, the length of a month and a half or two months, turned out to be an easy walk with insignificant losses.
It was this failure in the direction of Zolotaya Niva-Shakhtyorskoe made me pay special attention to 0509, a straight route of almost 11 kilometers, squeezed from the flanks by the rivers Kashaglach and Shaitanka is a shooting gallery and massacre for all those who will try to break through it to Velikaya Novoselka... But, no....
The movement of ROVs along the highway began on November 18 and as of November 24 they were already standing on the southeastern outskirts of Velikaya Novosyolka.
At the same time, the ROVs in the Shakhtyorske area developed their success and gained access to the eastern outskirts of the city along 0510, which, it seems, was similarly not fortified as it should have been.
Lack of total road mines, lack of roadblocks, lack of the most basic roadblocks, and so on and so forth.
On October 27 I wrote about what mistakes were made on the highway to Shakhtyorskoe, and some time later I published a great piece on the need to implement hypertrophic defense, especially along the highways!
Golden Niva was liberated in June 2022. During this time around and outside the village, especially along the main directions of probable enemy movement, it was possible to create such a defense, in which the ROVs crawled, washing every meter of Ukrainian land with decaliters of their blood. But this did not happen...
I believe that the events that are now taking place in the area of Velyka Novoselka are the most serious failure in 2024. In all other directions events are developing, though negatively, but predictably, but Velyka Novosyolka is a total failure of defense preparation, in which the enemy should have been bogged down like in a swamp and every day washed with his own blood. But it didn't happen.
What can I say... So they will really reach Zaporozhye or Dnieper. Defense around Velikaya Novosyolka, apparently, for two years was not formed shit. Exactly that defense, which this important hub at the junction of Donetsk, Zaporozhye and Dnipropetrovsk regions deserved.
It's a disgrace.

""Mines for mortars and not only about them ...
The scandal with low-quality 120-mm mines is gaining momentum. And now even I am starting to be asked questions on this topic, though I don't think so. I don't think it's right, because Yuri Butusov was the first to draw attention to the problem, and therefore all the others have already pulled up. But still...
But, on the topic, I will add a little oil to the fire.
Regarding 120-mm OF-843B mortar mines, yes, the problem has a serious manifestation, both in the issues of powders and bouncer charges. This is primarily due to poor quality TNT and powders. Also, complaints about the regular lack of detonation of mines are related to the poor quality of both the head fuzes B-429 and M-12, and the filler itself - TNT.
I would like to note that today the problem with TNT and gunpowder is observed all over the world. The demand for them is so great that there is an acute shortage. In turn, we regularly hear that Ukraine is increasing the production of artillery ammunition, and this is true. We have never in our history produced as much artillery ammunition as we do today. And this begs the question...
How in conditions of acute shortage of gunpowder and TNT do we increase the production of quality products so quickly, without having any experience of such large-scale production? There is no way. The build-up is possible only with the use of surrogates and in semi-artisanal conditions, the products produced in which would hardly pass technical control, both at the production itself and military acceptance before transfer to the units. Consequently, in neither the first nor the second case was there any control.
However, this does not only apply to mines.
For example, 122-mm howitzer shells OF-462 AT-45, receive ammotol as a filler and less powerful powder charges Zh-10.
By the way, the same component is present in a number of 120-mm OF-843B AT-45 and 82-mm OF-832DU AT-50. Their difference is much lower power, since ammotol is a mixture of ammonium nitrate and TNT.
But all this is due to the fact that Europe has a shortage of gunpowder, the main element of which is cotton pulp, the leading supplier of which to the EU was China. And since then, Beijing has cut off supplies of this component to Europe, inadvertently catalyzing a gunpowder crisis there.
What am I saying?
All this is to say that in the conditions of acute shortage of basic components in the production of ammunition and trying to get out of the situation, yes, it is true that we have to experiment with mixtures. But at the same time, realizing all the risks and disadvantages of mixtures, it is necessary to conduct a thorough technical control of products.
Now we should not chase after quantity, so that with restraint and breathlessness to declare joyfully about the production of 100500 million ammunition, of which 100499 million will not fire, but to declare about quality quantity, quality products, reliably and guaranteed to smash the enemy without threat to the artillerymen themselves.
We are at a stage where quality plays a role, not meaningless quantity, scattered by the dozens around a mortar that can no longer fire because a mine is stuck in the barrel.
And, as you have already realized from the text above, we are talking not only about mines now, but about a number of other munitions, which are not so loudly talked about in the information space as mines, but for which ambitious production plans have already been set, in the absence of technical and technological capabilities. First of all, since the failure rate of these munitions is still more or less tolerable. But that's for now.""
