Why can't Russia do this?
Why can't Russia do this?
Iraq wasn't supported by the US and its satellite states. It was fighting all alone against a coalition of the most powerful militaries.
They tried their best.
US victory over Iraq
Buddy, the US lost after being bogged down in a never ending insurgency.
42 country coalition
Iraq was sanctioned to hell by the entire world for several years.
Russia is weak
Germanoid mixing up Iraq with Afghanistan
kek retard
dictatorships suck at war
Thanks for reminding me! They lost TWO wars after being bogged down in never ending insurgency.
Three, even if I recount Vietnam.
they wanted to believe this so hard
And Ukraine is Russia's neighbor, lol
saddam, being nationalist of iraqi people, surrendered on day 1, on condition that his family would be safe and his personal money in swiss bank won't be confiscated
americans proceeded to destroy the army that caused no resistance, created ISIS, killed Saddam, murdered half of his family and stole all the wealth of the country, including saddam's swiss bank account
It's pretty easy to win when your opponent doesn't try to resist and you have the world on your side
more arrows
If Russia cant take Ukraine bc of outdated NATO equipment what chance do they have again a full fledged NATO force?
In Iraq the USA used gps and nightvision for the first time. Different times.
We bribed Iraqis to surrender. They liked money.
Uh, by the way, we lost Iraq.
russians are retarded mongoloid cattle they can't into warfare as been proven again and again during this war(and today especially)
This but my opponent is your mom and the world is my massive penis LMAO
rekt
fighting white people vs fighting sandniggers
Iraq still has a US puppet government
yeah, that's peculiar
sanctions start in 1990 on the chart
So much so the government recently let Iraqi Shia militias send missiles that killed 3 US servicemen in Jordan. Nice puppet state.
Uh, by the way, we lost Iraq.
kek, what a way to put it
that trannyistria "active combat zone" always cracks me up
Didn't America embarrassingly lose the Iraq war?
outdated NATO equipment
satellite guidance and info isn't outdated equipment
I think it has something to do with the fact that Russia doesn't have 40 other nations to hold its' limp dick for it kek. The trillion dollars worth of aid Hoholia has gotten might be playing some part as well.
chinkbot trying his hand at blatant absurd history revision
crazy times we live in
Because the idea is hohol genocide.
Because sandniggers suck at war while slavs, even Ukrainian ones, are just nowhere near as weak and stupid as that.
Not islamic you see.
Russia on the other hand...
Iraq's military and air defenses got wiped out in the 1991's 1st Gulf War: en.wikipedia.org
Imagine if back in 2014 Russia actually bombed the shit out of Ukraine's bases air defenses... And kept flying patrols over the country making sure they couldn't rearm for a decade until 2022. That's what the USA did
never-ending insurgency
Yeah, it's like saying Mexico won after 2 centuries of insurgency. Germans have very low IQ. That's why you lost WWII despite all the tech. It's a genetic gap against the superior Anglos. You're too slavic to win any wars.
3 reasons.
1. Iraq was sanctioned for years prior to their invasion
2. Nobody was helping Iraq
3. Browns can't fight conventionally. They can do terrorist attacks and shit, but like niggers the moment the numbers are equal they scatter and run away immediately.
America is an Empire.
Russia is a very overrated country.
do this
What do you mean?
Making millions of deaths?
Creating snuff movies in cruel game where mercenaries hunts POWs for fun?
Shooting down journalists?
Founding Islamists and letting them to create a Caliphate?
I think there are five major reasons.
The first reason is that Ukraine started the war with a not so weak military (at least, relative to Russia) because Ukraine, like Russia, inherited a large arsenal from the USSR, although not quite as big as Russia's.
The second reason is foreign support, in fuel, munitions, materiel, satellite intelligence, satellite communications, etc.
The third reason is morale. We saw in Afghanistan and Syria what happens when the soldiers are demoralized and the leadership is entirely preoccupied with securing their own exit. The whole state falls like a house of cards.
The fourth reason is that America has invested heavily in offensive tactical aviation, whereas the USSR/Russia invested much more in air defenses and defensive tactical aviation. So Russian aviation got quite easily BTFO'd by Ukraine's Soviet air defenses.
The fifth reason is modern technology. Today there are high-bandwidth communication satellite constellations, super-high-revisit reconnaissance satellite constellations, super-cheap high-quality drones, and large numbers of high-precision tactical ballistic missiles (e.g. GMLRS). No one had this in 2003, especially not Iraq.
This.
Most of iraq aircrafts was turned off by french.
dumb question , europe and america were anticipation this move of russia. iraq had no structure military , only militants groups fighting .
its a whole different ball game , america is providing intelligence with sattelite etc ....not the same thing bro ..
the french didnt participate in the Iraq war
Ukraine got x5 (now) more help compared to what ussr got in ww2.
And instead of buttons, boots and raw materials, Ukraine getting best weapon, specialists, free training, free reco etc
It's basically 5th article on full mode.
And R. is owned by corrupted oligarchy.
the invasion of iraq killed millions. russia isn’t
Because of drones, you dummy.
They did their best
That's not the reason why. The insurgency in Iraq killed so white soldiers that America left in 2011.
Not if they actually lowered the AoC t o 9, they don't.
what was general apocalypse
what was THD
what was attrition warfare to the last hohol
lmao cope more you russian retard
not russian but you can definitely slit your wrists and drink breech. you being dead makes the world a better place :)
comparing the most powerful army in the history of humanity vs shithole tier military
Iraq were third world, Ukraine are second world.
ah yes totally not russian but you will seethe impotently whenever someone tells you truth about this absolute failure that is russian SMO
America and its allies fighting a bombed out third world country is the same thing as an American colony backed to the hilt by all of NATO who pay for all the state's expenditures and gave away all their weapons to arm an army run by a Jewish dictator that conscripts everything with a pulse
But hey, stones and glass houses and all that.
too low iq didn’t even read (kill yourself)
shitting all over them is just too fun. fuck ukrainians glad so many are dying.
They lack to ability to coordinate their combined arms forces to achieve common battle objectives. Their army, Air Force, marines, and navy do not coordinate with each other very well. Also their equipment and intelligence are subpar and of low quality.
drones didnt exist back then
planes were more important
90% of iraq is desert
iraq didnt have a military
pic very rel russian retard
cope more
They were at the gates of Kiev but cuck Putin chickened out
kill yourself
Only the US and France and, to a lesser strenght, Poland, are worth a damn in NATO. If you exclude France, there is a good chance that all other european countries put together would fall short of the current ukranian army.
bumperino.
many such cases.
should have taken a page out of the allies ww2 playbook and firebombed the city to maximize civilian casualties
kill yourself
what chance do they have again a full fledged NATO force?
None, but then they'd just start throwing nukes.
kill yourself
are you retarded?
Iraq is the exact same
wow we made ANOTHER garbage /uhg/ thread. WE DID IT REBBIT! LETS MAKE THE ENTIRE CATALOG UKIE SHIT!!!
kill yourself
keep crying everyone can notice this absolute failure that is smo you russian retard
kill youself. 404 this retard thread
cry more russian retard
Dick Cheney was a genius
Why can't Russia do this?
Because what you see on the left side is actually a pretty shit way of fighting war if you want to stay and control the territory
Paper tiger. Fuck Russia at this point
this might be a real shocker but cawadoddy is a videogame and it's not based in reality whatsoever
Russia took this war lightly, Ukraine had been training 8 years. Iraq was caught off guard.
bro take some shit on the streets
satellite guidance and info isn't outdated equipment
As other anons pointed out.
Satelite guidance isn't outdated equipment, Elon musk's high speed internet isn't outdated equipment.
US, Uk , Israeli and ukrainian drones isn't outdated equipment , it is the most modern equipment available.
You still LOST to russian drones, despite blocking latest chips.
go fight some towelheads where you can turn off their equipment
Most of iraq aircrafts was turned off by french.
comparing a blitzkrieg coalition of 34 nations and 1.4 millions men zerging over a country made of sand that still required Americas prescence 8 years later, compared to a battle that isn't even over yet
terminal Anon Babbleoping is an actual mental illness
and iraq was isolated anyway the kurds attacked the goverments from the inside not forget that aswell.
kurds are the puppets of israel
Why didn't he flee to Russia like Assad did? Hell, why not China of all places?
Americans fucked the Iraqis hard but they left with what achievements?
The French allegedly gave the Americans detailed information on Iraq's partially French-sourced air defense systems
again a full fledged NATO force?
if nato got into the war most western governments would be couped
I dont know a single person in real life who supports this globohomo faggotry
The invasion in the OP is the 2003 one, not desert storm.
The Americans managed it with less than half of their DS numbers and within a month
Hungayry
No wonder you Mongol spawn like your eastern cousins so much. Both of you come from the same rapespawn litter
This is like flexing over beating up a kindergartner. You can't even stop the cartels lol. STFU and finish the Korean war before you talk.
Watching the Timelapse made me wonder about something. The start of isis was in Syria. A bunch of sadaams guy brought gold to isis. We beat them back near to border with Syria. Which they probably deserted to. So instead of encircling them and destroying them we simply drove the infestation of hardened crazy veterans to another country where they could disappear and habour resentment. Why didnt we death road them as they were leaving
Iraq was supported by the Soviet Union and it's satellite states.
We went into Desert Storm believing the Challenger 1 and M1A1 were peers to Iraqi T-72s. It genuinely shocked the coalition to see in battle that the Soviet Union's flagship tank was so badly outclassed, because it was the final realization that the USSR had never actually been a peer, and we had won the arm's race 40 years prior without even realizing it.
ukraine had little to no aid to work with during the first stages of the conflict
and what did russians do with that window of opportunity? they were sending unsupported infantry with exposed supply lines to march without a set goal and orders to not use their weapons
unironically it would have caused less life loss in the long run
If they wanted to kill a million Russian and Ukranian civilians like we did in Iraq, they could have done this in a few months.
Soviet Union's flagship tank
Iraq's best tank was the T-72M1, which was a downgraded export variant of the T-72A. Most of Iraq's tanks were worse than the T-72M1, such as Chinese Type 69s.
The USSR's best tank at the time was the T-80UK.
Iraq didn't have javelins, drones, or satellite intelligence
also half of it is empty desert that can be largely ignored in an invasion
This war revealed that all the export model shpiel was pure cope
No, it revealed that tanks are a quasi-obsolete weapon in the face of modern weapons. During Desert Storm tank-on-tank battles played a significant role, in Ukraine they no longer do, the wars are completely incomparable as far as tanks are concerned.
And what recent combat has revealed is that T-80s were really just T-64s with more ERA and not even the least bit combat effective.
The T-80 is less a real tank and more a last ditch cope from the failing Soviet Union after it had realized how hopelessly far behind it was. In reality even modern Russia uses more T-72s than T-80s, because it's the best they have.
m-muh monkey models
Because Ukraine is a White country and White countries are just better.
Soviet Union's flagship tank
Iraq's best tank was the T-72M1, which was a downgraded export variant of the T-72A. Most of Iraq's tanks were worse than the T-72M1, such as Chinese Type 69s.
The USSR's best tank at the time was the T-80UK, and the main production variants where the T-72B and the T-80B (or T-80U, I'm not sure). The T-72 series were supposed to be the "low end", and the T-80 series were supposed to be the "high end".
not even the least bit combat effective.
No tank has been really "combat effective" in the Ukraine war, certainly not effective to a degree commensurate with expectations and the price tag
T-80s were really just T-64s with more ERA
Yes, T-80 is a bit like a T-64 but with a gas turbine engine
In reality even modern Russia uses more T-72s than T-80s, because it's the best they have.
No, it's because the T-72 was built in greater numbers, which is because it was the cheaper "low end" tank. Also, all the T-80 tank plants were shut down in the 1990s while one T-72 plant was kept in operation (it now produces the T-90M, which is really just a rebranded T-72BU with an improved turret)
Now do France in WW2
Accidentally posted an old draft comment I had written in another tab
Meant to post this comment
because theyre poor and their IQs are like 20 points lower than Americans.
yeah,lol. and this ukraine war proves it even further. the russians also got defeated in Syria which they suddenly stopped talking about.
