  1. Maybe my English was not good enough to keep the too rigid legal context. Ukraine has a moral and legal obligation to protect its own people from the Russian war of aggression, no matter what ethics say. Otherwise, they would not fulfill their obligation as a state and nation. Ethics can then only influence execution frameworks. Just as Ukraine has done.
  2. regarding DPICM: we should put our ethical principles behind the needs of Ukraine, which follows a higher legal and moral imperative (defense against a war of aggression contrary to international law). One can remain of different opinion but ethics are nice to have when you are not bound to be eradicated by Russia.
  3. I have another one for you: Putin has become entangled in his relationship with Prigozhin and resembles a king at chess who moves across the field with only two pawns left. He can no longer win and his time is running out
  4. Don’t know if it’s true, but if fighter jets are coming after the counter offensive than the Ukrainians are dying for nothing. https://news.yahoo.com/ukraine-not-receive-fighter-jets-061255539.html
  5. Russia is using chemical weapons at Bakhmut.
  6. Exactly this. Thanks domfluff for getting the point through.
  7. Just some info regarding the IR capabilities of the T-80s: the early T-80s uses the TPN-3 which is equipped with a much more sensitive infrared image converter assembly than its predecessor. The passive range of the early versions is between 500 and 800m. With the support of the modernized infrared headlight L4A, which had received a more luminous lamp, the visibility in active operation increased to about 1200 m. Still worse than the western technology but still more than 20m as in my video example.
  8. Well I am playing the Combat Mission line for more than 20 years and I sure like this game in all its facets. RTS like WARNO or Regiments and the like are not my favorites.
  9. Yes. I sometimes just share the frustation with the thread starter. I think about the scenarios for Single Players as a game, where the player should have fun. While i design a scenario for the "red" player, i have to give the soviets every advantage i can think of: Short range encounters, not night time , many more tanks than "blue" side. It still is a game. I really appreciate the spotting and the whole mechanics underlying to give us a near realistic experience - but still the soviets feel at large at a disadvantage in the 80`s.
  10. While driving the company into the enemy the soviets killed two Bradleys with dismounted infantry from the scouts. The advancing tanks didn't even once see an enemy but got killed. All from 500m start to death. The US side in the above videos were not turned-out.
  11. I do share this frustation in many battles when i play the soviets. Just now i experienced a harrowing view. My T80B1 is driving into the enemy. Many of its company are already dead from invisble enemies. C2 didn't help. Infantry spotted and relayed the contacts to the HQ, but the info didn't trickle down to the tanks. So i just drove my tanks to near (20m) range of the enemy, still seeing nothing. I have recorded this from both views. Playing the soviets is no fun at all. View from the T80B1: and the view from the US side:
  12. Interesting view on the domestic car market in Russia.
  13. He only spoke of Donbas region. Nothing at all about decapitating the government of Ukraine nor denazification or demilitarization. Seems to me they acknowledge they can’t get it done and focus on the smaller target.
  14. Time has come. Let's see how it all works out. Good luck.
