Wow - Russian tank battalion wiped out in failed river crossing

1. I am about 90% sure this is the same bridge the Russians posted video of destroying it. They said it was a UA pontoon bridge. Video is from very high and was done by air strikes. Which makes sense.

2. There have been losses on Russia side, but mathematically it could be the biggest loss of life in a single day. IF killed is 20k+ RAF in 78 days, that's 256 per day. So it's possible. But then again, if it was 256 per day, you would see this type of video every single day.

Amazing the cognitive dissonance that people have here that will not believe msm for trump, or vaccines, or whatever, but gobble up this stuff as if it's gospel.

Like I said, pretty sure this pontoon bridge is UA bridge destroyed by RAF days ago.

Just citing this tweet:

This russian analysis of equipment destroyed at the Belgorovka bridgehead, indicates that the large majority of it is Ukrainian.

Large number of BMP-1s, intact vehicles may have been marked as captures.

just because I don't drink the koolaid doesn't make me a shill, but you go on pretending.

It's an Eastern Military District unit, as evidenced by the O markings, and they still use BMP-1s.

Really sad , brother agsinst brother to please the star people and there beast system trying to destroy Russia

In my opinion you are not a shill, you just see what you wish to have happened or not happened.
Russians are the attacking side in that area, the one pressed to make ground gains - in this case at any cost.
Ukraine does not move large convoys, only small units.
Ant that was a large convoy intended for attack.

this whole world is just full of people who cannot read, and if they can, have very little reading comprehension.

The RAF posted multiple videos of them destroying a pontoon bridge. This was on May 8th. I looked at the videos and they look similar but were taken at different altitudes.

It's not what I see, it's a video. It has as much validity as this one. Only the foolish would look at just the one and come to a conclusion.

That was in combat and defending their home- NOBODY sends an entire battalion (or an entire platoon for that matter) of tanks, or anything else, out across a rickety old bridge- Give me a freaking break (they should at least have actual military advisors help write/edit these crap stories).

Demonize the enemy enough and pretty soon you reach the threshold of diminishing return- It goes from acting as a means to generate enthusiasm in one's own ranks, and leads to the formulation of a false generalization, in that, they are not only capable but likely of doing completely idiotic things, as they are sub-human and incapable or acting 'smart', etc. (Japan made this error in WWII)

You did have the US in the 1960s-1970s getting its ass handed to it by the hard left of Vietnam.

In 2022, you now have "leftys" in the West/America fighting for and against the "leftys" (Zelensky, Putin) in Ukraine and Russia.

Karen-Gestapo Liberals are sociopaths, so it's hard to know exactly which type of them are more ruthless, greedy, unethical, power hungry and inhumane.

Historically Russia got a revolution after each war it lost: in 1905 after it lost the war with Japan and then in WW1 after was defeated by Germany. This time will be the same.ï

I seriously doubt this. Your sources seem to be buying into some of the more "believable" Ukrainian/American disinformation.

Sout.front has detailed pictures of these so called Russian losses on their site. These show these alleged 73 pieces of lost equipment. They too claim these to be Russian.

One thing appears obvious immediately. Contrary to their claims, most of these vehicles are not destroyed at all. In fact, the majority show little or no signs of damage. They appear to have been simply abandoned. Or maybe not even abandoned?

Secondly, not one of those 73 vehicles shows any sign of the tactical markings we always see on Russian and DPR/LPR vehicles (like the Z or V), even though the pictures are clear and detailed enough to show them, if they were there in the first place. There are also some clear side views of (undamaged?) vehicles which again, lack all tactical signs.

Also, all of the equipment in evidence is of types that are also used by the Ukrainians. There are no vehicles I've been able to spot which are unique to the Russians. But, quite a few of the BMP’s in the photos appear to be BMP-1's. That makes it considerably less likely to be Russian vehicles.

Finally, look at what is absent. There isn't a single air defense vehicle in sight (note, these are also useful in intercepting many types of incoming artillery/rockets/missiles). Russian battalions have a lot of those. So, I'm to believe that the Russians somehow failed to deployed these along with the rest of those vehicles? At a river crossing site of all places? Which, according to the narrative, had been hit by artillery and rockets before? Seriously? Or am I to believe that all of those air defense vehicles somehow escaped destruction? Either is possible, in theory, but not very believable.

If i were to see these photos without any commentary about what I was supposed to be seeing, then I would have to conclude that based on what the photos themselves show, these are Ukrainian losses, not Russian.

There is additional, although circumstantial, evidence that these are not Russian.

First, all photos are zoomed in, making it almost impossible to pinpoint the location (based on the course of the river and other terrain features). The exact location would go a long way to prove whose vehicles these are. It would make sense for the Ukrainians to show zoomed out photos to prove their allegations, and through their US friends, they would have no trouble getting those pictures. And yet, they seem to be deliberately making it hard to pinpoint the exact location of these losses. That doesn't add up.

What makes even less sense, is that we are only hearing about this now, well after it has happened, as the photos appear to be made days after these losses are incurred. You can tell because there is no fire in evidence. There's smoke in only one location in one photo, and it's not coming from a vehicle wreck, but appears to come from a smoke generator. Some vehicles have clearly burned out, which takes time. There doesn't seem to be anyone around either, so all rescue and recovery operations seem to have been concluded. So some time has passed between the strikes and when these pictures were taken, likely at least one day.

The lack of recovery operations is odd too. If these are Russian losses, inflicted by Ukrainian artillery, and most vehicles appear to be intact, why are they not being recovered? You would expect to see at least some activity of that kind.

But the big one is this, if the Russians had indeed lost over a battalion worth of armored vehicles, it would be the single greatest battle victory for the Ukrainians of the entire war. So why are we only hearing about it days later, when these photos suddenly pop up? Why didn't we hear about it when it actually happened? Why would the Ukrainians have kept quiet about it? If they were hitting the Russians like this, they must have known what they were doing. They're in desperate need of victories (just look at their efforts at Snake Island), so why didn’t they announce this one?

Especially considering the timing! If true, this has to have happened around the 9th of may. Just consider the impact of such a Russian defeat around that date. Why didn't the Ukrainians, or the Americans, show the world then, with clear proof, of what had happened, just after it had? That would have been a massive propaganda victory. Yet neither of them did. Which is also a kind of proof.

Instead, all we have are some weak Ukrainian claims, well after the fact, combined with photos of dubious provenance, which don't appear to show what it is claimed they show (Russian losses). It all reeks of improvisation.

All in all, I find it extremely unlikely that these are Russian losses, and highly likely to be Ukrainian ones.

Russia is panicking, not us. Putin's plan to restore the USSR fails at the first hurdle, which is why he's making nuclear threats. That's all he's got left, the cupboard is bare. The irony is that no-one ever wanted to invade Russia in any case. It's a failing nation led by a narcissistic psychotic.
[/quotey!

That is purely western propaganda you msmbeliever...... This is the big sticky point on GLP and elsewhere imo....
You are ALL believing the very people who have lied and misled you for years.... BUT NOW!!!! YOU all believe them????????????

Jeez - You are all so dumb!

Fark... why do i even bother

I work with a few..... i still do

They hate all this but are scared to go home n fight cos they have a western life they do not want to lose!!

But yeah, Nato are on the ground in Ukraine and probably doing ok... with all the sat n tech stuff etc...

Those will probably hitting the same from the other side..... hence 'Robot wars'

At some point either before or later it will go Nuclear.... just a matter of when

Propaganda, you people are soooo bad at it.....

plus there are multiple videos the RAF released that show them blowing up a pontoon bridge on May 8th. And to me, it looks like it could be the same area.

Smart tank!

Fake news. Everyone knows its the uke nazis who are untrained.

But the western msm is full of UKe training vids lol??

Question - how long does it take a westrern drone pilot to train?

How come a ukie can train in a few weeks?

These targeters/pilots/ etc are Nato (If footage is real) and prob also the artillery operators!
To believe that the USA and UK do not have special forces and engineers on the ground would be very niave when they have done in every other flash point known by us ... and most other not!

Russia is at war directly with Nato..... they know it

Exaggerated figures. FYI RUSSIA LOST HUNDREDS OF TIMES MORE AND THEY STILL CAN AFFORD TO LOSE.
NOW THEY PRODUCE A NEW MODEL OF A BMP.
PUTIN AND SHOIGU ARE THE TRAITORS OF RUSSIA WITH THEIR ORDERS DO DESTROY RUSSIA BUT RUSSIA IS TOO BIG TO FAIL.
ITS A POKER GAME VS US
Thread: WW3 Do You Feel the HEAT OF THE INCOMING WW3? WHAT IS NOT NEXT TO ME DOESN'T MATTER! Oh, my God! (Page 20)

I was just watching CNN (I know, bad source) and they are showing pictures of the pontoon bridge and reporting that the Russians blew it up to stop Ukrainian advance.

Bullcrap propaganda. All I see are smoldering vehicles. This could be from anywhere at anytime. FAKE.

Zelensky begging for direct talks with Putin….so is the west…..

I guess things aren’t going that great…..


Don’t worry….Russia almost done with their objectives…..

And when the Ukes fall it won’t even be reported…….

Makes you wonder what’s really going on.

River crossing always dangerous, Båten blir U-båt. Russians do this by default, aka russian standard.

Maybe better this way than getting incinerated when Ukraine blows the top off them like a jack in the box? idk.

Fake.

Look at the crops, they’ve been cut.

That’s late summer or autumn.
