Ukrainian servicemen continue to effectively destroy the equipment and personnel of the Russian occupation army. In just one week from February 2 to 9, the defenders of Ukraine reduced the number of Putin’s army by almost 9,000 occupiers.
The Armed Forces of Ukraine also destroyed over 2,000 units of enemy equipment, Lieutenant General Oleksandr Pavlyuk reported on Telegram .
During the week, enemy losses amounted to about 8,960 personnel. In addition, the Russians suffered significant losses of weapons and military equipment.
In particular, the Ukrainian military destroyed 84 tanks, 130 armored combat vehicles and 306 artillery systems. The enemy also lost 6 multiple launch rocket systems, 6 air defense installations and 10 units of special equipment. The loss of enemy vehicles in a week reached 820 units.
Our defenders also destroyed an enemy aircraft and 693 operational-tactical-level UAVs, including attack drones.
Let us remind you that in the Kramatorsk direction, thanks to effective fire damage, the enemy is unable to break through the positions of the Ukrainian defenders. Fighters are burning enemy equipment with the help of FPV drones.
It was previously reported that on February 8, in the Donetsk region, Ukrainian soldiers destroyed an enemy Su-25 and probably damaged an Mi-8 helicopter. The fighters of the 28th Knights of the Winter Campaign Separate Rifle Brigade and the 57th Anti-aircraft Battalion effectively engaged Russian aircraft.

The AFU is making sure that the roach army can expand its reliance on bikes, golf, carts, honka cars, and their feet.
I have it from a reliable source (my wife) that the orcs have brought in camels from Uzbekistan.
Are you sure it’s not a reference to ‘camel’ *tactics*?

The method established by Yevgeny Prigozhin’s Wagner private military company (PMC) was very simple: runners, known as “camels,” would be dispatched on foot to carry critical military materiel to Russian forces most likely in contact with the enemy.
Nope. Real camels are being brought in.
I do see a pic. of a camel here:

APC = Animal Personnel Carrier ?
😆
😂😂😂 Nothing … and I do mean NOTHING, surprises me anymore.
What next, elephants because some orc watched a film about Hannibal? 😂
With an alcohol soaked brain, anything is possible.

“Fighters are burning enemy equipment with the help of FPV drones.”
I would hope the West are taking note of the Ukrainian drone tactics and development. No centralised organisation is making the drones for the army, but a myriad of small entrepreneurs. This leads to competition and innovation, which leads to a more effective end result.
Your statement brings visions of horror for our defense industry.
In 1990 the US reduced the number of defence contractors from 51 to 5. If that’s not an invitation to corruption, I don’t know what is.
What I often wonder about is, did this war change the way of thinking in the Pentagon? I mean, all of us on here and many people that visit our site know that the Ukrainians are doing great things with weapons that cost a fraction of our expensive stuff. Do they know it too? This is a rhetorical and actual question, seeing that many of the top generals often enjoy ignoring successes of others because their good ideas weren’t their own. Maybe corruption plays an important role. Anyhow, if our government is interested in saving money, looking closer at Ukraine and how they are doing things would be a good first step.
I was watching Jake Broe last night, and he come up with a very surprising statement. It appears graduates in the US military are all given excellent grades in their exams, no matter what the actual results were. If this is true, some US general could actually be totally unsuited to do anything except mop the floor. Watch him talking about it. I copied the URL from the current timeframe.
Confederate standards were banned since 2001. Now our pink army is a laughing stock.
If it’s left to Musk the US will have no military soon.
They also renamed many of our army forts. To me, Ft. Benning is still Ft. Benning, Ft. Hood, Ft. Polk, Ft. Bragg, and so on will also still be called by those names.
Fuck ’em! I’m a proud Confederate and have more black friends and relatives than most of the idiots who did this to us. What they expect? Southerners to bend over like the US did for Putler? Fuck that, bro!
Since 2001? Didn’t General Grant put an end to Confederate standards in 1865?
Yes. He and Sherman were perfect in burning downe Southern cities and women getting raped, and all in the name of a North built by dirty money from slavery. Congrats, idiot!
BTW, George Washington had slaves and Lincoln was from Kentucky, idiot!
yawn
Yes…
Which academy is doing this? All of them? If this is anywhere near the truth, then we also have potato generals and a basic brainless officer corps. Naturally, I don’t want to believe this.
Jake said it was happening when he joined the Air Force. Everyone got excellent grades.
Then the Air Force is going down the drains. The Air Force Academy used to have very high standards.
Yeah, if it spread to other branches of the military, it could explain how useless idiots like Austin ever got so much power.
And it explains lieutenant corn flakes.
He is a bit younger than me.
I watched that, and (1) he was talking about performance reviews, not exams, and (2) he said “if you meet the standards, you were given 5 out of 5”.
So, presumably, if you fell short of the standards you’d be rated lower.
