  Might just be due to a different set of people but its pretty different to the indifference / denial in response to pictures of the war much earlier in it.
context: New post can be found here >
  
  Su25 is the Russian counterpart to the Thunderbolt. A very dangerous plane! Shooting it down saves lives, and is difficult to replace due to sanctions. >
  
  The good news is that like the A-10 would be, they haven't been particularly survivable in this conflict. At least the A-10 has a "bathtub" cockpit and redundant flight systems, not sure the Su-25 is as armored. >
  
  The Sukhoi 25 is broadly equivalent to the A-10 in terms of armour protection for the pilot. Even the helmet is armoured. >
  
  On Dutch NOS just now, I saw Zelensky talking about the so-called truce offer; he replies that “the russian soldiers should just retreat and take their toilets with them, they’re gonna need them.” >
  
  Lololol >
  
  Who was telling me Badleys couldn’t take out tanks? T72s are sitting ducks to these things. >
  
  Yea idk why anyone would say that. They have form in tank killing >
  
  Didn't Bradley's kill more enemy tanks in Iraq (or somewhere else) than tanks did? >
  
  As I dimly recall, Bradley's were shredding through Iraqi T-72s like they were made out of papier-mâché. >
  
  They are highly manoeuvrable which allows them to position themselves where they have the advantage in using their TOW missiles. >
  
  Hilarious how Russian milbloggers are raging at Putin for the way he said "ceasefire along the whole front in Ukraine". According to Russia all of the front lines currently lie on the Russian territory, but apparently unlike them even Putin knows it's all bullshit. >
  
  At least their anger is now directed towards the right person >
  
  So the Ukrainians have now managed to use Soviet Buk launchers to fire Sea Sparrow missiles... Mig's to launch US Anti-Radar missiles, adapted their own fire control software and systems to Pz2000 self propelled artillery and of course, everyday DJI drones to drops bombs.
  If anyone thinks they couldn't handle flying F-16's or driving M1 Abrams... >
  
  Oh you are forgetting integration of JDAM and Storm Shadow. >
  
  Yet to be seen. Fucking hope they have though. >
  
  From 24.02.2022 to 06.01.2023 (Day 317) estimated Russian losses so far (change since previous day):
  110,000 personnel milestone reached.  
  110250 (+530) Personnel
  3064 (+23) Tanks
  6124 (+16) Armored Personnel Vehicles
  2059 (+8) Artillery Systems
  431 (+5) MLRS
  215 (+0) Anti-aircraft Warfare Systems
  285 (+1) Aircraft
  272 (+1) Helicopters
  1844 (+0) UAV operational-tactical level
  723 (+0) Missiles
  16 (+0) Warships / Boats
  4797 (+38) Other vehicles
  182 (+0) Special Equipment >
  
  A lot of tanks and vehicles got hit.
  And crazy to think over 500 soldiers is low this week. >
  
  16 days to 10,000 further casualties. Jesus Christ have mercy on those poor souls (and pass the ammunition). It is terrifying how Russian fascist politics and propaganda has brought us to this point. How even more terrifying it is that some citizens in secure democracies want to have this style of ruinous ideological leadership. >
  
  But wait there will be more deads.
  If the rumors are true, they will just recruit a million more soldiers.
  And they already ran out of good weapons for the first wave.
  They will just try a zombie tower defence game style of rushing the base. Meanwhile ukriane gets better weapons each month.
  If only those soldiers would stork rhe kremlin they would survive. >
  
  The fucking irony never ceases to fire. >
  
  That's the biggest package since HIMARS. If you add other countries, that's a shitload of armored vehicles. Looks like it's tailored for counter attack in spring >
  
  At this point it's more dangerous to be a person with power/influence in Russia than it is to be a mobik on the frontlines in Ukraine. >
  
  Another post said there were 42 in total on that train. Super nice kit. >
  
  Key takeaways (for me, anyways).  Fast (40 mph), 400 miles on a full tank, can kill tanks with TOW missile from 3750 meters away, 25 mm chain gun can fire 200 rounds per minute to targets 3 km away.  In other words, fast and furious. >
  
  It can also carry infantry! This increases operational range and capability of small tactical squads and gives them a significant upgrade in protection and force projection with the optics, weapon systems, and mobility they provide. 
  I'm really excited to see how Ukrainian ingenuity and tenacity utilizes this platform after seeing what they have done with less. >
  
  Edit:
  We're up to 21 accounts.
  Another 7 bot accounts were taken care of during the past 5 minutes. All their posts appeared in the new queue during the past hour and have been removed. Each post appeared one right after the other from each different account. They all became active during the past 6 hours and within 15 min of each other. The oldest dormant account was 11 years old.
  
  Original comment:
  14 more bot accounts were taken care of today.
  Most of the accounts were dormant up until the past couple of days. For example, one account may have been 5 years old and had zero activity until 06:30 UTC. Each subsequent account was reactivated within a few 15 minutes of each other. All of the sus accounts were active within 3 hours of the first one. 
  A second batch was similarly activated 24 hours later, and likewise had accounts that were upwards of 9 years old, with zero activity until a similar time frame. 
  Each of the sus accounts began posting on the sub within a few hours. The sus accounts also commented on the same threads on other subs but not this one as far as we can tell.
  None of the sus accounts' posts or comments are visible on the sub and all the accounts were reported to the admins. It's unknown what the accounts intentions were but it's likely they were karma farming to post spam elsewhere.
  The last batch of accounts were mostly stopped by the admins, and the ones that slipped through ended up spamming domains or comment spammed an unrelated sub before finally being stopped.
  
  If you see a troll, bot or spam account--report it.
  You can click the "report" link if you find one those comments. Thanks if you already do this.

  Thank you for your effort. It is much appreciated. >
  
  This would be awful... you mean destroy their OWN churches with their OWN people? Much worse than the weird pipeline thing and won't even work as a false flag operation. >
  
  Well... it'd be the same playbook as the apartment bombings before the 2nd chechen war. >
  
  NEW: U.S. is providing self-propelled Paladin howitzer guns to Ukraine for the first time in Friday's $3 billion military aid package: Pentagon. 18 Paladins are in the latest package. The U.S. has already provided 160 155mm and 72 105mm Howitzers and more than 1 million rounds. >
  
  Considering they’ve been operating M109s for a while now, the Paladins should fit right in. >
