So basically another day, another excuse for the invasion.

Is it to soon to claim mission accomplished?

Russian State TV Urges Putin to 'Destroy' West, Says 'Real War' Starting

Russia looks and sounds like a utopia for crackhead's

a reply to: WeDemBoyz
At the rate the Ukrainian forces are getting through the poor Russian troops there's going to be a very small genetic pool left.

The pool that's left will be all these armchair warriors that had lame excuses for why they couldn't be at the front and center being annihilated in the Motherlands 'just' war. I feel for the Russian women.

Seems like Ukraine have now Sisu XA-180/185 ( pasi ) , these can be handy , and i am saying from personal experience, i drived these in army time. I was few times in Gulf of Finland with it, so even sea is no problem. There are many rivers in Ukraine so they can try used to get troops to other side without bridge/heli .

The Armed Forces of #Ukraine️ use #Finnish armored personnel carriers Sisu XA-180/185

A fantastic development. The Ukrainians are adaptive in logistically supporting the array of military equipment donated by the international community. Historians will have a field day with that and other matters tied to the war in Ukraine.

Did I see correctly that these are amphibious?

Like crossing streams 'amphibious', or crossing a deep lake 'amphibious'?

Yes they are fully amphibious meaning they can cross lake or rivers.

No wonder russia complained about it.

16 September Update

Key Takeaways

* The discovery of mass graves and torture chambers in liberated Izyum confirm previous ISW assessments that the Bucha atrocities were emblematic of Russian activities in occupied areas rather than an anomaly.

* Russian President Vladimir Putin apparently threatened to expand Russia’s attacks on civilian Ukrainian infrastructure if Ukraine continues reported attacks on military facilities in Russia.

* The Ukrainian Resistance Center warned that Russian forces may conduct false flag attacks in occupied areas between September 17 and September 20.

* Ukrainian forces captured all of Kupyansk City on September 16, continuing offensive operations east of the Oskil River.

* Ukrainian forces reportedly shelled targets in Valuyki, Belgorod Oblast, Russia, overnight on September 15-16.

* Ukrainian forces struck Russia’s occupation headquarters in Kherson, likely using HIMARS, and are continuing ground maneuvers in three areas of Kherson Oblast as part of the ongoing southern counteroffensive.

* Russian administrative officials are rallying around Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov’s call for “self-mobilization” at a local level to provide additional forces to the Russian military.

* Forced Russian mobilization campaigns are likely depleting male populations in parts of the claimed territory of the Russian proxy Donetsk and Luhansk People’s Republics (DNR and LNR) along the front lines.

* Immediate and coordinated Russian information responses suggest that Ukrainian partisans may not be responsible for the September 16 assassination of the Luhansk People’s Republic (LNR) Prosecutor General and his deputy.

Hmmm...

Are some 'lpr' leaders trying to get out of russia's war?

It also means that russia is going to need even more soldiers defending waterways, and that they'll have to start surveilling them better at night.

These thing are probably already having a positive effect just from Russia knowing that Ukraine has them and that they could pop up near any waterway at any time, anywhere on the long front lines.

No issue in going for water .Those have hydraulic propulsion .

Some reports say Ukrainian forces are in left bank of Oskil river


Several reports that 🇺🇦 army has forced the Oskil river today and controls Dvoricha, Kupyansk ans Ssosnove on the left bank

Someone needs to build a diesel-electric hybrid version of this (or any LAV with MRAP) with modern lightweight weaponry, max cap of 10+/5t, and able to swim or drive for at least an hour on batteries only.

This one is pretty loud.

Still gonna give some russian planners nightmares though!

Wait until Finland sends their vehicles that ride the treetops in forests

Cheers

Yeeh that would be great. This one they send to Ukraine is decades old technology so yes quite loud.

Low noise electric would indeed be handy.

Say whaaaaaat?

I have not hear about that, yet

a reply to: MidnightWatcher

An internet source states there are 188 thousand lakes with a surface area greater than 500 square meters in Finland.

Those vehicles would be very useful there, one can understand why they developed them.

Kenzo, we're waiting for you to tell us about your water nymph girlfriend

Cheers

a reply to: F2d5thCavv2

Ahahh..


We have so much water here, we should bottle it and sell it all over like oil .


I hear Canada also a lot lakes , maybe even more than Finland ...

Russia is kidnapping children , and putting the children on to Russian planes itself is security risk, because nobody knows anymore are the planes safe to fly.

Russia’s Commissioner Maria Lvova-Belova complains about being put on a sanctions list by the US for facilitating forced deportations of Ukrainian children to Russia. Moments later, she reveals that she has just kidnapped another 100+ Ukrainian children.
