Stolz Untermenschen: The Ukrainian De-Nazification Operation

The new phase of Russia's Ukrainian operation has the western media and commentators reeling. Russia's resort to its hypersonic arsenal and heavy weapons is cited as evidence that Russia has exhausted its supply of tanks, artillery and conventional weaponry. The Institute of the Study of War (ISW), a US group which publishes Ukrainian propaganda from Facebook glossed up as military analysis, claims that Russia has lost hundreds of tanks, trucks and APCs, expended more than 75% of its entire ammunition stockpile, that Russia industry is incapable of replacing the loss, has lost more than 10,000 soldiers killed, operates mobile crematoria to destroy soldiers bodies, and is about to initiate conscription of 17-18 year olds to backfill losses. They have assessed that Russia has failed to achieve all of its strategic objectives and will soon be facing internal collapse. It's utter nonsense, but I'm pretty sure they are very well funded.

Has no one in the west actually observed the Russian military exercises that NATO constantly complained about? The mass movements of entire armies to and from the battlefield in a matter of days, where NATO and the US take months? Russia's logistical excellence is second bar none. Russia is conducting the Ukrainian operation with only a very small force, considering the overall size of its army. Most of the Russian armed forces remain at their normal stations, on alert for provocations in other quarters. Traditional military logic suggests that the attacking force should be four times the size the defending force. Russia is conducting this operation with forces quarter the size of the defending force. Why would they do this? Because Russia specialises in combined arms warfare and has a very clear military strategy backed by clear political goals. Russia needs to conduct this operation for its national security, but it also needs to live with Ukraine in peace after the conflict is over. For this reason it did not conduct 'the American way of war' - carpet bombing everything and driving over the rubble. Russia's campaign has been a methodical exercise in manouver and application of force.

So, hypersonics. Why not? These are new weapons in the arsenal and what better way to test them other than in combat. They also send a clear message, one that has been heard in NATO and Washington where much scurrying is occurring. Let's have look at what Russia's weapons can do.

Firstly, the problem in Kiev. After losses in pitched battles around the city, Ukrainian forces withdrew much of their armour into the city. Here a MRLS is working on Russian positions from one of the main roads in the city. After firing, the MRLS would be withdrawn to a new position so as to avoid counterfire.

I spy with my little drone eye, some MRLS hiding under cover.

Russian drones observe the fire and follow the MRLS to their base in the undercover carpark at Retroville. Retroville was not an active shopping centre, having been abandoned for some time, so the eight casualties reported in the western media were not innocent shoppers buying a new toaster. Hypersonics follow and...a very large stockpile of ammunition burns long into the night.

High precision strikes like this are lauded in the western press when the US does it to sleeping Afghan villagers, but in Ukraine....

Another interesting example of Russian firepower. Here is the result of a strike by TOR-1 heavy flamethrower MRLS against Azov postions inside the Azovstahl steel plant, Mariupol. No western military has experienced the impact of these weapons systems in a combat situation.

Against such weaponry - and the realisation that the US is about to lose its gamble in Ukraine - western media can only lie.

This is not a 'crashed' Khinzal. Khinzals travel at 10 times the speed of sound and cannot be intercepted by any western anti-aircraft system, but then most people don't know what they're talking about or looking at anyway, so why not just lie? This is a Toscha-U ballistic missle of the type Ukraine has been firing into Donetsk city loaded with cluster munitions because... killing moscals is what they do. This example was shot down by Russian anti-missile systems.

Speaking of which, here a Ukrainian Toscha-U complex fires two missiles towards Beograd in Russia. The missiles are intercepted and, with certainty, Russian drones would be scouring the area for the culprits.
