Honestly the writing on the wall should've been when they announced last year they were pulling them out of Ukraine's front lines.

But no, again, it's *Ukraine* that's doomed because of a single Abram's kill, ignoring Russia's weekly loss of expensive fighter jets and now apparently the dissolution of their most modern battle tank.

Does the T-14 have the turret throw auto-loading system that makes them hilariously easy targets?

Last hit was a big one.

Funnily, the first reports of the attack were from the russian mod saying they had successfully destroyed all drones. They just failed to mention it was with a ship.

And this was pretty much brand new, less than 5 years old.

Counting in the subsubmarine and the facilities, I think we are nearing 2 billion worth of damage in a year for Black Undersea Fleet alone.

@Ihavewaffles will be right by to explain how ships don't matter in a land war or something.

Considering the subtitles are all in that loser alphabet of yours, probably not.

It’s fine alittle paint and alittle filler will fix out those dents in a jiffy.

Honestly that little smug victory lap gets even funnier and funnier the more jets and ships Ukraine continues to blow up, with dead air about equivalent Ukranian mechanical losses (like I don't think Russia's still been able to hit a single HIMARS unit since they got shipped over?)

Like he could've at least come in to smugly post about Russia's recent land gains, and that could actually be worth discussing and debating. But my man really picked the most asinine thing to be proud of.

Well today they got their first visually confirmed HIMARS kill. After nearly 2 years. They filmed it from 3 drones so they can say they destroyed 6 after mirroring.

Ukraine Pravda reports the Ukrainian intelligence managed to hack into the Russian mod. This could be fun.

Ohh no. I'm now demoralized and have decided to stop supporting Ukraine.

On any sane planet where Congress isn't ruled by a sellout like Johnson, we should be able to just go -OK LOL, we'll send 2 others.

Alas we live in a world of self serving limp dicks.

A damn shame, honestly. Those machines have been doing good work.

Am I the only one that continues to find it wild to be watching a war unfolding through youtube videos with, I guess Ukrainian sea shanties(?), playing over footage of a ship being blown to pieces, even 2 years into the war?

Apparently Macron is trying to convince other EU countries to send troops to Ukraine:

PRAGUE, March 5 (Reuters) - French President Emmanuel Macron told expats in Prague on Tuesday it was time for Ukraine's allies to step up, adding that a moment was being approached "in our Europe where it will be appropriate not to be a coward."
Macron has faced a backlash from many Western allies after he discussed the idea of sending Western troopsto Ukraine at a Paris-based conference on Ukraine on Feb. 26.
But during a visit to Prague on Tuesday, Macron said he stood by his comments, and that a "strategic leap" was necessary.

US is saying that Zelensky didn't ask for troops but rather material:

UK forces in Ukraine were no secret, they've been "training" Ukrainian forces since before Russia started its build up and get mentioned every so often in the media here, think they confirmed special forces are a part of that, but get vague about not discussing the operations of special forces.
