great rock music!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
well this kursk adventure costed many ukranazis lives & material, while failing to reach any important military goal
the story of their whole endeavour since 2014. a failure. cia failing again
neocons conning their way through school one too many times.
stop watching russian rt 😉
stop watching cnn. it’ll rot your brain.
oops, guess it’s too late. well, next war then.
i remember when jamie shea and james rubin were on cnn every hour in ’99, telling people how 100,000 kosovars were missing and presumed dead, in order to warm up the audience for nato’s bombing of belgrade. all bullshit as it turned out.
that same james rubin heads some government sponsored ngo now, telling us all how rt manipulates the world with lies.
cheeky bastard, that rubin.
sure and didn’t you see that zeds pleading for nato to save him? haven’t you seen putins listed 46 countries as hostile to russias values and is encouraging people to move to russia asap.? i suppose you don’t know udf s killed the hezbolkah leader either?
i wish a strong russian man would mount me!
i knew some of those nazis. good men. to bad they refused to have intercourse with me. if they stayed, my pooper would be full and their lives good.
heheheh…
bullshit losses numbers from russian mod, same bs like from ukro mod.
ukro forces in kursk in the beginnig some 15.000.
realistically till now half of these dead and wounded, also half of theyr heawy arms and equipment destroyed and damaged, but still some 7.000-8.000 ukros there with dozents of tanks, afvs, ifvs, artillery…
so still a lot cleaning work ahead, but latest before years end russia must liberate whole kursk.
lol
seems the downvoters math abilitys are below first grade elementary school,
othervise they would understand that if the rus mod numbers would be even close true, than over 100% of all ukro forces and armament would be dead and destroyed in kursk.
are you serious?
im pro russian, but not braindead like some here and in the rus mod.
derp. usa just reported inability to send high tech weaponry due to shortages … poland reported months ago inability to send weapons without sacrificing their own military readiness … and now germany as well. why would that be you think? maybe it is true that it is all getting obliterated? after all, there is ample video evidence of nato equipment going kaput
its called, sending more idiots
they love dividing people like you know the type. .
divide and conquer’s their game. falling flat on their face is their fame.
za tie dva muničné sklady by mali teraz rusi zobrať do kliešti banderovské fašistické svine v kursku a mali by ich vyhladiť!!! veď zhruba cca 30% sú aj tak vojaci nato!!! ako odplata pre (zto) nato za to, že sa podieľali na zničení ruských muničných skladov by to bolo adekvátne. mysleniu zdar a svetu mier!!!
i see the potrovsk front is extremely sparse in armor and artillery on afu side. expect to see large collapses and many positions just undefeated..
undefeated, lol…now you sound like zelensky.
unless of course you meant undefended. ;-)
i heard zelensky is suing the wsj for saying ukraine had 80,000 kias to date. he swore it was a lot less. he should swear less because he’s made a real mess.
so what’s the verdict, who’s lying…..zelensky or his advisors and he’s just a moron.
by the looks of things there is proof of how bad things are going for ukraine. what is you may ask, it’s the use of pickup trucks are increasing. when the invasion started ukraine used military armor and trucks but i’ve seen more and more civilian trucks being used so that says they are running out of the military ones!
is jake sullivan sending them white toyota pickups too?
obama neutered the pentagon and us military in desperation to support support for patriots and trump support. the afu has been destroyed about 4 times over through attrition up to now. us and nato not a chance to stop russians. see zionist isreali genocidal maniacs pushing world war 3 like desperate zelensky.
russian losing very fast.. putin should get help immediately before losing any more land…..
you should get help immediately before you lose any more of your frontal lobe.
the west and mad man zel don’t know where to turn to save what’s left of ukr. should have known better to fuck with the best, now you die like the rest!
