Ukrainian Rocket Crews Fend Off Russian Infantry With Updated Launchers

After rolling Bureviy rocket launchers out of their hiding places in the woods of the Donetsk region, Ukrainian artillery teams can quickly start firing rounds at their enemy. Crews say they regularly stop the advance of Russian infantry with the upgraded version of the Soviet Uragan system.

@Ray The " Monkey " is now Putin . After the war China will be the Organ grinder. The war has taught us that NATO rather over estimated Russia . Only the poorest country in Europe and some supplies from friendly countries were needed for the Russians to fight hard to stay where they were . If Poland or the Czech Republic were to join it would be bye bye Russia.

[@anthonyseta4566]

The Ukrainian military is phenomenal. The defense of their homeland by these men and women is just awe inspiring. The observations of this young man that was interviewed for this report seem accurate for the current phase of the conflict. The Russians are throwing their manpower away, but trying to save their machines of war which now seem to be active in very limited numbers. Nine months of grinding conflict has destroyed nearly everything that was designated for the original active frontline army. Additionally, all of the most immediately salvageable items from their numerous boneyards has also been hurried to the battle zone. There is not much remaining. Keep up the fight UAF! The Russians are indeed running out war materiel. On the human level, every nation has a threshold of tolerance that will be reached. The men of this nation will eventually reach a breaking point and turn their weapons on the FSB or Chechen blocking forces that are used to coral these unfortunates to their early deaths. Russian men may still hate Ukrainians.. so be it. That aspect of ethnic hatred seems to be burned into their strands of DNA. But they'll soon come to realize that it's their own citizens that control the levers of power that represent the truest threat to their individual lives. Slava Ukraine!!

Your words do not hurt me. I do not support Nazism, nor do the common people of Ukraine that are now defending their homeland. The description that I just provided above pertaining to Russian intentions is the truth that is beyond contestation, and cannot be washed away by unimportant troll bots like yourself. Additionally, your words and the "opinionized logic" that it is supposed to represent do not have much effect on a site like this. The people on this thread see right through you.
