Of all the things being caught on video in this war, I would imagine catching a helicopter playing peek-a-boo 10km away would be one of the more difficult ones to film, for the reasons stated in the last page or two.

This needs to be treated the way Mossad treated the people who ran the death camps. The people who run these camps need to hunted like diseased vermin for the rest of their lives. 

Are we sure we observe the same genocidal, simple war of conquest? If you are so afraid of "undermining" Russia, here is you adress of complains and source of all of the fuss : http://www.en.kremlin.ru/contacts
You are not rightfully criticizning, you get whacked by arguments and are now doing another virtue signalling, while clearly parroting Putin propaganda matrix you saw on some Russian forum. And you don't even get that- that's btw. how propaganda of this type works. Its victims are always people who think of themselves as freethinkers, outside constraints of mainstream media, but who are in fact mentally not equipped to properly build their own worldview that would be anchored in both political realism and some basic ethics. Ukrainians and "American overlords" guilty of Larissa rail accident, USA building bases to "force" others to watch Micky Mouse, poor bombed Nazis in WWII etc. These are the same, unmistakeable symptoms of reducing everything toward symetristic bull*hit.
I am more and more inclined to believe that if world in 1939 would have internet and contrarian keyboard warriors, whole Europe would be foocked royally, divided between Brown and Red totalitarian empires up to this day, doing whatever they want.
Ok, I have enough of this, so where was this mute button...

Sorry but I don't think that's up to you to allow ignorant people to spread blatant disinformation. Please don't be so supportive of other people attempts to spread it.
The RU artillery inferiority was proven and confirmed by RU months ago. Nothing to discuss here.
Tank and ATGMs were deployed to compensate for artillery weaknesses. As a result, RU is now having problems with them as well, as agent Murz noted again a few days ago:
RU arty is weak, Capt is right. Your friend is wrong. You support his lie. I will not allow this lie to spread. End of story.

The situation is confusing; all sides are keeping quiet about what is going on, with the exception of Ru Nat reporters, who I believe are being deceived by RU the command.  I believe the RU situation is bad, but they are sort of holding the line by hurling reserves at UKR (first local reserves, now main) and because UKR are not advancing in real force. 
 
According to UKR, their pushes (including the fight with Bradly and Leo) frightened RU low-level commanders. They became anxious and began calling RU higher command, asking for any support they could get. The RU upper command became spoked and activated hidden arty batteries exposing them to UKR counter-battery fire.
 
RU aviation. UKR AA moves at a slow rate as well.
 
I am always surprised by the amount of RU copium from you. Let's look at what RU side does:
Russian defence chiefs have been mocked for claiming to destroy a German-supplied lethal Leopard 2 tank - when in fact they had blown up tractors in Ukrainian fields.
Let it sink in: RU MOD officially lies in the most blatant way possible (wheels are clearly visible). Nonetheless, you complain that we demand all RU claims to be validated, at the very least, with photos.
FFS, I do not accept even photos unless they are really clear. Recently RU destroyed another Patriot and even displayed a hazy photo of the Patriot launcher. Except it wasn't a Patriot launcher, but an IRIS-T launcher. They did not destroy it, they hit and damaged the IRIS radar (AFAIK it is fixed and working again)
Finally, shortly before the Bradly-Leopard fight, RU released hazy photographs of a destroied Leopard. Except it's not Leopard, but who knows what (maybe an AMX-10) and it might not be even destroyed.
Never accept RU word. Rarely accept RU photos. Demand full video. End of story. 
 
RU are experiencing severe shortage of shells (and ATGMs). RU arty is systematically destroyed by UKR CB becasue RU suck at CB (they cannot make proper CB radar). Capt is right - RU have issues with arty. End of story. 
 
Why probably? Right now, RU is sucking at several Directions, including Bakhmut and RU border territories (RDK raids). Worse, the primary plan they had for a defensive battle in the southern direction has collapsed since UKR are not advancing as RU expected. 
 
Ignorance is bliss, I guess. Back to reality: UKR emulated a big attack by performing recon in force (by platoons or 1-2 companies at most). For the cost of a few vehicles (a couple dozen Bradly/APCs and several Leopards at most), UKR managed to utterly confuse RU command and compel it to:
reveal the bulk of concealed artillery reserved for big UKR offensive begin deploying the majority of reserves (and now committing them to combat) commit aviation to battle I do not really understand all the fuss about UKR losses. 

Can we add the hedge hog as a specific count at the Hague?
It takes less than ten minutes to go to your congresspersons website and type a paragraph in Support of ATAcMS to Ukraine. All U.S. readers, just do it!
Steve already answered, this the THE simplest thing to give Ukraine logistically. 
 

I remember seeing one and it ended up being questionable, but I'm sure it has happened.  Got a link to any of those?

Any organisation like NAFO is going to come with a lot of filler, but it's a small price to pay given how much they have contributed in real terms to Ukraine's war effort, most recently with boats to help evacuate people from Kherson. Contributions that help the Ukrainians far more than the vast majority of realistic discussions on social media ever will.

Ugh, people go to work at UN not to resolve some world problems, it's an international VIP club, where you just chill at the bar all day talking to people from all over the world. There has not been any major war since 60s and no wars of genocide since 40s, that's like 3 generations of UN deputies away. What else is there to do all day for the past so many years?

After so much time of just being a poster organization people who work at UN have zero clue about responsibility and are not competent in resolving major conflicts, they are there to look good and talk good - and I'm not joking here sadly.

I'm here to ask you guys some for some informed help.
There have been Ukrainians training in my country for a while now, and this last cycle that just graduated, they have selected 3 dozen or so candidates to go through another X amount of extended training and turn them into NCO's/Officers.
My unit is going to be in charge of that training.
I was talking with the base psychologist, who is going to be in charge of their "psychological" training. She will be giving them half a dozen of weekly addresses, but she has been given no advice or direction on what to teach them. She has some idea of where to start (stress handling, leadership skills...etc) but apart from that, taking into account these guys are headed for an actual shooting war obviously she wants to make an actual contribution and not give them hollow TedTalks.
As people with more expertise than me, I refer to you all the question:
What sort of psychological training would you recommend she prepare given the circumstances? What topics should she cover or what sort of techniques could she teach?
Thank you in advance.
 
PS I apologize if this isn't the correct place for the post but it's the place with the most traffic at the moment and the training isn't far off, so we would appreciate the help. Again, thank you in advance.

or as we might say today Russia is a plague infected rat, wrapped in a used Depends, stuffed into the rotting corpse of a Russian soldier left on the fields of Bakhmut.

Maybe, but my understanding is that Slava Ukraini was first used before WW2 even happened. I think the slogan was just used historically by many groups who wanted an independent Ukraine from Russia. Wikipedia says it first gained its popularity with Ukrainians during their 1917 War of Independence.

Excellent and thought provoking.
 Despite all the propaganda about "western hegemony" the west has been retiring during the past 20 years.  Countries that may have been expecting a western bailout or other intervention have been disappointed.  Ambitious nations like UAE and Saudi Arabia have been flexing their muscles, and Wagner has been appearing all over the place along with ISIS militias (and who is directing them?).  The vacuum started with Obama. Trump sucked the oxygen away completely allowing misrule to flourish.
The United Nations is rendered impotent by Putin and Xi, while USA is no longer playing the hegemony game.  Nations like Sudan and Libya and those over indebted to China are being left to their own devices.  Nations like South Africa are allowed to descend into corruption, while Wagner extends. 
Into the vacuum leaps Vladimir Putin with his vampire reconstruction of the Russian Empire.  The west needs to put an unambiguous nail into his heart.  The much discussed Ukrainian counter offensive should, hopefully, make a strong statement that undermines his support in "russia" and provokes its disintegration.  Depending how you look at it, "russia" is either 45 separate nations or 7 separate nations or some other mix.
The bold statement would be the recapture of Mariupol.  Mariupol is Putin's signature dish.  He has even been rebuilding and recreating it.  Militarily it might not be the best win, and it should not cost too many lives in any case, but symbolically it should put a knife in Putin's vampire heart.  It might even be the final straw for the idea of the new russian empire.  Mariupol has a symbolic value much greater than kilometres in Kherson, and is much less likely to trigger a nuclear escalation.
What the propagandists fail to acknowledge is that the west is evolving and discarding what does not work  What does work we have yet to discover.  Hopefully Ukraine can show the way and we give them full support.

Actually, Chechnya managed to win in 1996 without foreign support

I disagree😉

Thanks for the kind words about beggars. it's so nice to feel like a beggar in a destroyed country under rocket attacks, and you reminded me of this in such a timely manner.
I can say on behalf of the Ukrainians here we dream that you stop this whole farce called support for Ukraine. At least then we would clearly understand what we can count on in the fight against Russia. All your support is nothing more than a mockery.
And one last thing for you personally buddy - ИДИ НА ХУЙ

Lenin never showed any interest in philosophy. All his works concerned political economy. What ideas of Lenin do you like in this area? seizure of private property? food distribution? transferring power to the poorest sections of the population?

What kind of orchestra? "Khmer Rouge" or "Gulag Guys"? My grandma saw one of them live and said they didn't sound very good.
