Russia's unjustifiable war of aggression in Ukraine

That's an interesting take on things. I'm surprised that the Ukrainians haven't destroyed more Russian bridges

not a railway bridge, but as if they were listening to you ;) UA would try to get some destroyed to help defending their positions. Below is a freesh photo of the one on Seym river:

it was this one:

Here is how the "harassment" was like before the idiot above was making "jokes" in nazi helmet later:


SilkY, SilkY you getting caught by russian propaganda every single time
First of all I can't speak Ukrainian so where I get my reports come from posters that have contact and know what is going on secondly the guy is clearly wearing an SS helmet and even you admit he is an idiot but really he is not just an idiot but a fascist.
 
No one knows for certain how many they have left, but what we know is:

- they are lacking pilots (training takes approx 4 years)
- they are unable to produce the new machines to replace the ones lost and have not spares to extend the life of the ones they use
- most of the engines for helis and jets were produced in Ukraine
- they have lost ability to build some models since the collapse of USSR and they have lost the know-how (people who knew how to make them are dead or really old already), this is the case for Tu-22 for example
- they have lost a lot of ammo for them (used and destroyed), they are unable to produce them in the numbers able to replace the losses (vide: developing FAB bombs)
- UA have damaged beyond repair or destroyed many of their machines in recent months while those were taxi at the airports
- UA attacks with missiles and drones forced ru to move their bases further from the front
- In recent months ru lost a huge number of the radar systems providing info and cover to the ru air force, the rest is limited or moved away from the front
- UA has more (still too little) modern AA systems and now getting F16 which are causing russia to panic.
- They cannot move all equipment to Ukraine as they need those to be deployed in their vast territory too
Question for you catch-y:

Don't Russia have shitloads of satellites? Do they not use them from reconnaissance?

They had a shit loads of those but from the cold war era. Very primitive (most had to send the films back to Earth). They tried to put some new gear into the space but it was a typical "russian success". To answer shortly. No, they have no eyes in the space.

Modern Russian reconnaissance satellites

Russia made its first attempt to create a satellite capable of storing optical images in digital format and quickly transmitting them to Earth long before the launch of the last Yantar. Resurs-DK1 was launched in 2006 and was considered a purely civilian satellite, ostensibly designed to monitor agricultural and natural lands. It had a resolution of up to 1 m in black-and-white mode and 1.4-1.8 m in multiband mode.

However, as with virtually every Russian spacecraft, in this case, one cannot be sure that the military did not use it for its own purposes. Anyway, Resurs-DK1 operated until 2016, after which it was decommissioned. However, the military was satisfied with the tests and ordered a series of Persona reconnaissance vehicles based on it. They had roughly the same resolution (about a meter or slightly better), but could transmit color images. These are quite large satellites weighing up to 7 tons, which are placed into polar orbits at an altitude of 710 km.

In total, only 2 Persona satellites were successfully launched in 2013 and 2015. Their warranty period is 7 years, which leads some experts to conclude that they have either already failed or will soon. However, based on the experience of Resurs-DK1, they may still be operational.


here is a nice read about it:


russia is a fake failed quasi-Emporium.

edit:
Just to add. Ukrainians are using images from the Polish-Finnish ICEYE system. Not even US one during the operations. ICEYE is by many experts claimed to be the top of its class right now:


ICEYE is a class better than Maxar and you need a constellation to have it work in a usable manner. Not 2, 3 or 5 :)

PS. SS were nazis not fascist, but for you it is probably no difference :)
 
The SS were even worse.

The guy was wearing waffen-SS helmet when doing his "prank" (well, I am not even starting telling you that this idiot was mocking russian propaganda, idiot as this was a water to the wheels of russian propaganda employing useful idiots spreading this shit over). So you have zero clue what you are writing about, but still spreading russian propaganda and even mixing up their shit with your shit (nazi vs fascist). There is no hope for you ;)

The same time you ignore clearly neoNazi units on the russian side and russian army employing clearly nazi tactics towards civilians in Ukraine. Oh dear... Just to tell you this russian crap is not trending any more as too many people figured out this is a pure scam ;) Maybe your fake sources and "reliable Kinshasa newspapers" as still digging it.

PS. this below is a fascist helmet from the WW2 (hint: they were mostly Italians)
