Ukrainian commander laments INACCURACY of U.S.-provided M109 Paladin howitzer

A commander of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) has lamented the inaccuracy of the M109A6 Paladin howitzer, which he claims is significantly impacting Ukraine's offensive.

Speaking to journalists from the Spanish newspaper El Pais, a Ukrainian commander codenamed "Ivan" disclosed that his unit is caught between a rock and a hard place. According to Ukrainian sources, AFU forces near Avdiivka in the Donetsk People's Republic are grappling with an alarming deficit of ammunition. It has reached the extent that even the weaponry that uses these munitions is in a declining state, suffering from significantly impaired accuracy.

Ivan attested to this predicament, which contrasted with what the mainstream media has been parroting. The commander of the AFU's Paladin Howitzer 47th Brigade remarked that during the defenses of Bakhmut and Orekhovo, Ukrainian forces discharged between 100 and 150 shells each day. But in Avdiivka, they can only manage to fire 15.

"In the summer, my M109A6 Paladin had an accuracy error of seven meters," Ivan said. "Now, near Avdiivka, it is 70 meters."

He also told El Pais journalists that the casualty count in Avdiivka is disproportionately high. Ivan lost his entire platoon, with all 17 of his comrades either being killed or captured by Russian forces.

According to Ivan, the Russians are tactically digging deeper and wider trenches. They have also gained an upper hand, thanks to the up to 300 drones in their arsenal. "The Eagles [Orlan-10 drones] oversee the situation, while the Lancets launch assaults," he added. This air superiority Moscow has, alongside its prowess in artillery, is severely straining the defense capabilities of AFU troops in Avdiivka.

Interesting news about explosions in Severomuysky tunnel deep in Siberia, seems it was another SBU operation.
https://www.newsweek.com/russia-railway-tunnel-china-explosion-sabotage-1848265
It's main railway connection with China for Russia. Now it's only question how serious damage was made

If that storm was made by Putin, then it wasn't very successful for them because it hit Russia hard too. Especially Sochi, Crimea - destroyed houses, railway washed away.

I'm not really sure what's your point with these videos. It's something that we can see daily from both sides.

There was a failed mechanised attack in Robotyne, not a meatwave, then a successful. Ukraine cannot afford a meatwaves, politically nor in manpower. The objective was not the village, but to generate a breakthrough. While you think it is funny, it is simply not a comparable case.

Anyway, I think that Ukraine is far from having played all cards, while Ruzzia does not seem to generate new strategic nor tactical alternatives to shelling and sending the infantry -  after the shelling or during the shelling, whatever they feel like.

In Rabotino, the Ukrainian Armed Forces took the ruins of an empty village, formerly known as Rabotino, at a cost of lives that may actually exceed the original population of this village - we will not know, but in the tens of thousands this is certain. Apart from massive shelling, the advance was based on sending forward the most expendable troops in any numbers needed. I am sure that you consider this a Victory, and you are right to perceive it as such - that is as much of a victory as is going to get for Ukraine.

Thanks for yet another link at propaganda. The figure you are providing is several multiples out of the even most optimistic Ruzzian hopes.

In Bakhmut, Wagner took the ruins of an empty city previously known as Bakhmut at a cost in lives that may actually exceed the original population of the city - we will not know, but in the tens of thousands it is for sure. Apart from massive shelling, the advances were based on sending forward the most expendable troops in any number needed. I am sure you consider that a Victory and you are right in taking it as such - that is as much of a victory as is going to get for Ruzzia.

The regulars are trying that now, but they just do not have the sauce.

BTW, you think this guy won?



Have you seen the fireworks in the Saky airfield in Crimea? It must be the cold weather that makes the Ruzzis make bonfires? We will have to wait for the next satellite pass to know.

You got it all wrong about who won Bakhmut battle  

And recent reveal about 1.1m dead Ukrainian soldiers also tells who had
upper hand all this time

https://9gag.com/gag/amAZB2j

I have not yet seen a video from the Ruzzies depicting something like the sea of rusted steel near Avdiivka. Not even the disasters at Vulheldar last year.

RE meatwaves attacks, I have recently seen a document on how Wagner threw the convicts in front. They had the worst equipment, but also were without radio. There was no way they could communicate that they were being hit by friendly fire or retreating. They would not know where the second line was. Thus, any retreat would mean that they would be fired upon by their own (I guess they did not really have "their own").

On this attack the Ukrainians would fire upon them and reveal the positions. Then mortar and artillery fire would be used in the general direction of this positions. Logically, the first line of Ruzzis was very close, so they were as likely to die as the Ukrainians, perhaps more since they were not digged in.

That's Bhakmut, but now the regular army is trying the same technique, but the problem seems to be that at least Wagner had good instructors and good morale in the contractors. The regulars don't, so they just loose the front troops and achieve nothing.

Look, this technique is not that uncommon, the armies use screeners and in the musket age, they had the skirmishers to "protect the main body of the troops" by putting themselves in the middle.

About "meat grinder attacks" and which side employ such tactic:

You are right, this has absolutely nothing to do with what i said, way beyond my abilities to even start to understand... Or just more parroting of unrelated propaganda about buzzing RF enough so they reconsider the situation and just decide to leave Ukraine. Just another cheap attempt at moral booster

If you follow my thought? Well, I am going to make an effort and imagine that you can even start to understand my thought, just as a theoretical exercise of course.

Last winter Ruzzia send a wave a bad=ass missiles that targeted power infrastructure in Ukraine. They cause problems, although obviously Ukraine recovered well, and Ruzzis were very happy about it and nearly untouched.

This year, Ruzzia has sent drones (much cheaper), with not even half of the destructive potential, much easier to intercept with cheap and abundant means. In exchange, the number of smoking incidents in Ruzzian war related installations is every day.

I am not sure if they are as happy as last year... when a bully is  kicked in the balls, tends to reconsider the situation. So.... yeah, my thought is that the Ruzzian army has to understand that smoking kills.

As for the news... 15000 homes without power due to a winter storm, well... I guess the god of rain is into Ukraniophobia like you guys?

Speaking of which... have you seen the fireworks in donesk? https://t.me/ssternenko/22906

 

Much worse, Putin again used a secret climate weapon and Ukraine was covered with a storm and heavy snowfalls. Even the flag in Kyiv was torn. 

I don't think that Russia needs to do much of anything to induce pretty sever power shortages in Ukraine over this next year.  The whole country is now a dysfunctional cluster-fuck with no friends on the world stage, and what passes for 'leadership' fighting among themselves over whatever scraps they can get before they make their respective exits.

That one drone that went through hit the worst spot possible?

Ukraine said it shot down 74/75 drones, largest attack and then the next day...  


So what does your theory say about loss of power if we follow your thought?

That post should go to collection of shitposts that are actually funny. Prisoners of war suffering inflation, wtf I just read. If rising inflation is main concern of PoW', then probably it's not so bad to be prisoner of war.
You must be very talentedto generate such nonsense using AI.
And back to to drone attack on Moscow. Remember massive attack with Shahed's on Kyiv few days ago. Well, every action has consequences. Maybe this time they managed to down all drones, but probably weekend wasn't so calm for some Russians as they wanted.
And explosions in Chelyabinsk, Russians still didn't learned that smoking kills...

Once more BA, your understanding of the world is absolutely nil, but the worst part is that you are part of a large group of people that think they can interpret the information and the data and draw any coherent conclusion. You are the worst kind of ignorant - the kind of ignorant that thinks is smart and better informed than others.

When any company or nation has money that they are not going to spend right away, they do not keep it under the carpet dumbass. They put it in monetary assets. That is something that anyone who has ever seen a financial statement can tell you - but you first need to assume you are an ignorant and that there are others that actually know more than you and can interpret information.


And there you go again - the worst kind of ignorant thinking that other cannot see and you have better information.

Ruzzia created the military violence in the donbas. It is well known and undisputed by anyone but the lamest of the propagandists that Putin was waging a proxy war in donbas even before invading Crimea.

As for the rest is your usual incoherent shit - e.g. your super-theory that Ruzzia is not destroying alreay Ukraine "because they do not want to" or that Ruzzia is not already trying to destroy any weapons production in Ukraine with all they have. Ridiculous even for your level.

You still haven't figured out that Russia went into Ukraine to stop the NATOization of Ukraine, and to stop Ukraine military violence in Donetsk and the Donbas. But the US and their Puppet Zelensky wanted war, and wouldn't stand for the peace Russia was trying to bring about for the people of Ukraine. So, expect that Russia is going to take out Ukrainian war equipment manufacturing facilities.

Ukraine had better make peace with Russia as best they can, and right now. Because if Russia decides to eliminate Ukraine altogether, they will simply do it.

There seems to be a wave of celebrations in Crimea with lots of fireworks in the power infrastructure. But Ruzzis need to be more careful with smoke - they seem to have persistent problems with it, they have left half of the peninsula without power for quite a while!

The weather in Moscow is peculiar, some strange type of icy rain has been spotted all around. One could even think that is not ice, but Ukrainian drones that are retaliating. Would that be possible? Would Ukraine now be able to retaliate blow for blow even in Moscow?

According to Ruzzia, all drones have been intercepted, that is such good news that you could even believe it.

There seems to be also a big smoking accident in Chelyabinskyi -  in a tank repair / upgrade factory. Would you think that was Ukraine? It is more than 1000 kilometres away from Ukraine... wow someone might say that is just an accident.

Propaganda or not?  I mean, yeah, the story was circulated as propaganda for sure, but was it a complete fabrication or a report of an actual incident in order to achieve a political effect?

I other news, it looks like the new Russian cluster munitions are cutting the Ukrainians to shreds.  I don't figure that the neocons or Ukroid leadership have any regret about getting that weapons type going since it is as obvious as the nose on one's face that dead Ukrainians is one of the goals of this whole affair with the Russians.  I do find it interesting that only now almost half a year later are the Russians employing their (apparently much superior) cluster munitions in combat in a major way.  That suggests to me that the Russians were not expecting to use such weapons and had to slightly re-configure their production facilities to build up.  Pretty much what I would expect after observing things since the start of the SMO.

Any source Branko, or is this one of your "trust me, I know, you do not need a source" usual assertions? Because I do have a source for the latest wanton shelling: A children library in Kherson.https://uk.sports.yahoo.com/news/russians-destroy-children-library-kherson-144200322.html?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAACOBJIkGDJt--Xok3lZzKrervazAwhpWAHmRzuThfokkem57PlkCB1F4420zmjRqpLGxDiwaf9uM-OQhFi2zD5lzu9USoThjUr-rhWkez4mdGCf5J3IE7BlytgxvOAiOrKot8eim0_nn9iEGp9Tsnq8I5eqF22tj6gLoHZwumoKu


Probablyh Google translate, I think ChatGTP does not know there's a war in Ukraine. PoW concerns... funny, I think they do not have "concerns" they have "fears" and "pains" and probably "problems".
