C will never fully go away.

Constrained environments will always remain in C.

But RUST offers the best trade off today. It is way better than C++.

C IMO is not comparable to RUST.

Russia captured it.

It was heavily fortified and lots of Ukrainian lives were lost.

Top Ukrainian officer lied. Russia took Avdiivka.

8 years of fortification is lost in less than a month.

Who needs to cope now?

There’s nothing but bad news for Ukraine on this direction.

All these downvotes mean nothing in face of truth after time has passed.

Ukraine called all men and all draftable women to show up at military draft tracking locations.

That’s my loose translation.

Reason: allegedly to improve tracking of people.

My opinion: to replenish losses after disastrous summer counteroffensive.

Time magazine

Ukraine Is in Worse Shape than You Think

I could find non-English reports that personnel in some military units have been changed completely several times in Ukraine.

Some western leaders stated loss numbers far exceeding official Ukrainian losses.

Would you believe any data I quote?

So, there is no point for me to waste my time.

The downvote numbers clearly indicate the desire to hide this information.

Have your facts in check.

New York Times:

After Suffering Heavy Losses, Ukrainians Paused to Rethink Strategy Early in the counteroffensive, Ukraine lost as much as 20 percent of its weapons and armor. The rate dropped as the campaign slowed and commanders shifted tactics.

Ukraine lost 90k people this summer

I just want to see control scheme.

I got what i was looking for.

All attacks are targeting airfields.

My guess this will render air support missions impossible for at least a few days.

Air support has the best chance to impact (to stop) ongoing Russian offensive.

It also has the highest chance to damage All available Ukrainian air power.

Name of plane like drones produced in Russia using Iranian license.

Noisy and slow, but cheap. I think original name is Shahed drones.

Huge Ukrainian losses enabled Russian offensive.

Because Ukraine wasted all of its people in Russian meat grinder, under name of Spring, no it was Summer, no it was Fall counteroffensive, Russia was able to start its offensive knowing well that Ukraine can’t counter it effectively.

Ok, let’s just face it. Promised Ukrainian counteroffensive has failed after 6 months, killed tens of thousands of Ukrainians and accomplished less than Russian Avdiivka attack in last 2 days.

Russian troops have initiated a sustained offensive, effectively “encircling” the Ukrainian armed forces, as reported by The Economist.

After months of a slow Ukrainian counter-offensive, Russian troops commenced their own counter-offensive on October 9th, with a focus on the Avdeevka region. According to the influential British publication, this marks one of Russia’s most significant offensives since the previous spring. Its objective is to trap the Ukrainian Armed Forces in a dire situation, and whether or not Avdeevka becomes part of the Russian Federation will have adverse repercussions for Ukrainians.

In the event that Ukraine needs to fortify the Avdeevka front, it will necessitate relocating some of the forces currently engaged in the south of Orekhovo. This, in turn, will further diminish the prospects of achieving a breakthrough.

Statements in the above comment are not connected to reality.

It is good to know that this federated network is not any different than reddit.

At least the beginning of the article sounds better balanced than what i’ve seen here:

No, it is the 1st time.

Russia has accomplished its tactical goal of taking important local high point and applying pressure on the city itself.

The location is heavily reinforced with concrete after 7 years or so of fortification. But Russians have taken the place.

This article is just an attempt at damage control by claiming goals Russians did not set yet.

Russia doesn’t have to take the city. Supply lines are targetable by artillery. It is a perfect setup to bleed Ukrainian side if they want to keep the city.

Ukraine is set to loose either way: if they want to keep the city, they will loose lots of people. If they abandon, it’s a black eye.

Given what Zelensky did last winter, he will keep the city and send lots of people into meat grinder half of which will die trying to reach the city.

These comments are definitely reddit tier and that’s sad for the fediverse.

People don’t change just because technology is different.
