The sad part for me is the EU and the US starting to lose interest and not caring who wins. The best case scenario for the Ukrainians is that they will go back to the Donbass scenario of holding the line indefinitely or until, after a few years, Russia has replaced its losses and has another go. If we'd just been honest and said ' we'll help you not get overrun and after that it's your problem' rather than 'we'll help until you win', they would not have got their hopes so high only to be (apparently) let down. There's a familiar pattern to western led wars in recent decades: we go charging in all guns blazing right up to the point it becomes a difficult protracted conflict and then literally run away, leaving chaos in our wake (Afghanistan, Iraq). It sets a bad example and (imho) encourages players to take action. China has noticed this and so, obviously, has Russia.

Surprise, winter has come. Imho should the people who sent their soldiers across the Dnipro at the start of winter when everybody sane knew that the river would freeze over partially and make resupply impossible... be sent to the frontlines themselves. In the area of the front the reporter was, the conditions are far better than near the Dnipro or up North near Kupyansk. Just saying for a correct assessment.

THE GPMG USED THE SAME ROUND 7.62 X 51 MM NATO ROUND. If they have taken out the GPMG, the Infantry won't have any Fire Power left. It fired 800 round per minute. I could get 68 rounds on target out of 80 rounds at 500m No Scope. 1972. I loved the FN FAL 7.62 X 51 mm rifle .Fired the same round, as the GPMG. The GPMG was altered from the German M42 which had a rate of fire 1,200 rounds per minute. Named the "buzzsaw". I was an engineer, 5 year Apprenticeship then went into design.

The British sold the Tooling for making the Rifle, to America, an Arms Company still make the FN FAL Rifle with a Rail for a Sniper Scope, and a folding stock. It was called The Battle Rifle of the Free World - Used in 90 Country's. In comparison, the AK47 only has a case length of 31 mm. Less speed and range. Not as accurate.

You do understand that Russia's interests are to take over not just Ukraine, but multiple countries until they can make their borders defensible again right? That means Estonia, Moldova, Lithuania, Romania and Poland. There is no negotiating with Russia here, they will simply rearm, regroup and continue an attack. Peace talks are not an option with the terms Russia wants, not on a principled level, and not in a reality grounded level. Nor would Russia frankly keep the terms.

I bet anyone reading has guessed already.. yep it all disappeared magically in a country with check points everywhere especially back when this happened near the beginning of the war. He said things were like that a lot but nothing near the insanity of fealty and squaller left behind anywhere his people got to see after being recaptured by Ukrainian troops. Ukrainian people seem great but they have been allowing such corruption go unpunished for so long it beggars belief. Now the US is fast tracking our modernization programs to catch up to the highest levels of corruption amongst politicians and bureaucrats than anywhere on Earth. Makes me wonder at times.

That M45 Karl Gustav is a machine pistol. It's more for police or security details. I believe it's chambered in 9 x 19 parabellum, so for short distances it's ok, light and not too accurate. But to shoot across a field at somebody 200 meters away, you're just guessing, with such a rate of drop for that round, you might have to aim over their heads like trying to guess it's ballistic arc. I wouldn't even bother at that range. It's probably on viable clearing trenches where your enemy is 20 feet away.
