  1. The Russian defensive successes so far appear to be primarily related to not only their training and preparation & defensive fortifications but also combined arms and more effective organizations than last year- there are 3 divisions (127th, 19th, 42nd ) holding the defensive front besides infantry brigades, one special forces (22nd GRU) and a couple of separate volunteer battalions. The Russian combat doctrine was designed primarily for defense against a NATO/US invasion, not offensive operations. The organic electronic warfare power of the brigades and the divisions are much greater than the battalion (company, battalion sized EW forces) and seems to have defeated Ukraine's drone army, or at least reduced its capabilities to a low level. It has also dramatically lowered the use ability for Ukraine/NATO to use HIMARS and Storm shadow missiles although some got through the EW zone. The Russian divisions and brigades also have much stronger Anti-air units supporting than the battalions of last year. The Russians also moved forward their helicopter fleet which has a played a decisive role in knocking out AFVs with air-ground missiles and providing general support. The fighters of their Air forces are also in support. The Ukrainian ammunition shortage has seriously effected their ability to provide important fire support to their attacking groups of infantry and AFVs, leading to poor results. The Russian side considers their casualties as being only light and 10 times smaller than their opponent. Although the bulk of Russian front line fighters are mobilized reservists so far they have done their job, by repeatedly counterattacking and attempting to seal off breaches. They have the advantage of superior artillery and protection of defensive positions and extensive mining. The Russians also have a self-propelled minelayer unit that can shoot and automatically generate minefields from long range. The infantry are equipped with the Fagot and other types of Anti-tank ATGM that can destroy or knock out all Western tanks in one shot from KMs away. So far it is imperative for the Ukrainian-NATO offensive to break apart the Russian combined-arms team but so far they have not done it at all, and continue relentless but weak attacks by AFV and infantry groups. The much trumped western tanks and afvs have proven to be as low value as the Russian in the modern combat environment. I have no idea how Ukraine-nato have planned on confronting this problem outside of brute force and attacking with superior numbers.
  2. This girl's tiktok has gotten viral in Korea, China, and Japan. It's just a few tiktoks of her looking beautiful and working at a coffee shop:
  3. Yeah she has a small head (with an amazing body). The hair completely changes how she looks and makes her stand out like crazy. !
  4. The funny thing is I saw pictures of her without her hair as a ball..the difference is night and day.

  6. The Ukrainian-NATO counteroffensive, despite large commitments of forces is still stuck at the screening line after 2 weeks. However the screening line has an incremental amount of damage. Russian forces have fought well but not well enough to clear out all the penetrations and fully restore the screen. If Ukraine decides to use its entire strategic reserve and burn it down to the final 30% this offensive against the defense-in depth of their offensive phase should last up to 5 weeks. If they choose this option they should be able to defeat the screening line. If there is more than it's too early to tell. Overall, their performance is so poor that their grandiose strategic objectives will never be met at this rate. There is still no solution to their ammunition crisis, which has impacted this offensive and will worsen as the weeks go by. Wagner PMC will complete its refit and return to the battlefront by August 5th. It makes more sense for Ukraine to concentrate on a smaller and more realistic objective, maybe not even in the Z-Oblast but elsewhere for a propaganda victory so that Western arms and aid will be further stimulated. Or they can cancel the counteroffensive and send the strategic reserve for reform and further training.
  7. Briana looks like she'd probably be a shoe-in for that. Also she would be a shoe- in for Miami for the next couple of shows if she wants. I miss seeing Natalie Roser at the walks. She was a star of miami swim week like a couple others. Carmella rose does not walk anymore. It looks like surviving stars of the OG Miami Swim week are just Joy corrigan and Kara. And one whose name I can't remember right now. Cindy Prado is relatively recent. Joy and Kara are the among the most consistent of models.
  8. I remember that even as a kid I found cammy attractive and would play as her on the arcade machine. She wasn't even that great a fighter.
  9. yea! probably a rising star. maybe eventually she'd be on tv.
