Beaten In Kyiv & Kharkiv, Putin’s 1st Guards Tank Army Set To Attack Luhansk l Russia-Ukraine War

The video says this army has been deployed to Luhansk, but that's the only oblast under full Russian control. It is likely that this unit will be used in yet another attempt to take Bakhmut, and the rest of Donetsk, a territory which Russia claims as its own. The important thing, however, is that Russia has one tank army ready for combat while Ukraine has still to form a new tank unit or reinforce the existing ones using Western models. Ukraine will have to use defensive tactics in order to stop the upcoming assault.

how sad it is to think that one nation is against the other and make the most of its opportunity to fight that, at the expense of other nation whom she has a little misunderstanding with

Is it also fair to say beaten in Mariupol( which happens to be the biggest surrender in this war history), Lusushank, Severodonetsk, Solidar and now Bakhmut which has the potential to be the biggest surrender or massacre in history of major wars ? 😂

These "elite" tank units turn into elite "airborne" units pretty quickly.

Imi pare nespus de rău .Respect de asemenea pace .🙏🤲

First Guard Tank Army
waiting for
Leopard ,Abrams & Stanley' tanks..
The situation back in Feb.22 - 28,2022 was prior HIMARS era , but now it would't be easy for the invaders..

Crux you are so hilarious 😂

LOL, 1st guard - how much are still alive, 20 of them? Maybe they can reach Kyiv with a tractor army this time, pulling the Armata? Seriously...the 1st guard means nothing anymore, since they are not trained at all. They will run like the rest, when facing fierce battles.

The new tank might be unlished distraction against western allies.

It is getting hammered, attrited and crushed in the Luhanks. It's bad luck continues. 😩

To the Ukrainian warriors. You are brave and must remain victorious. Turn Putin's Big Revenge into another Big Embarrassment. SLAVA UKRAINI,

be interesting how the 1st GTA fights in the Donbass. will it still do its usual tank breatkthrus or will it revert to the wagner WW1 style human wave attack supported by tanks. hmmm...methinks it will be a disaster for the 1st GTA

Good news for the Russia 🇷🇺 admits

Three times is the charm! 😄

Yes, they've been defeated twice...and are in less capable equipment, but Russia learns it's lessons. I wouldn't look past them.

Russian tanks are fortunately second and third rate, otherwise Ukraine may have been conquered in 2 weeks to a month.
Ukraine stockpile was 1600 tanks, probably 800 working order. Saddam had 6000 tanks.
Russia on paper has 12000 tanks, but at best 3000-4000 working order. See Google images of rusted out tanks, missing pieces.
US stores tanks et al in the dry desert. US has 6500 tanks.

The Ukrainian military injured scores of civilians when it fired thousands of illegal mines across the city of Izium last year, Human Rights Watch (HRW) has stated. The mines, similar to those allegedly used by Ukraine against civilians in Donetsk, were found near schools and kindergartens.
The mines were fired into the city with rockets by Ukranian force while it was occupied by Russian forces between April and September of last year, the NGO said in a report published on Tuesday. Dispersed hundreds at a time, the Soviet-era PFM mines are distinctively butterfly- or petal-shaped devices and are designed to main rather than kill those unfortunate enough to step on them or pick them up.
The HRW team entered the city following Russia’s withdrawal in mid-September and found these Ukranian mines in nine locations, including a school, and kindergarten, and a hospital.
A spokesman for HRW says most of these attacks against civilians by the Ukranian military go unreported by Western mainstream media, as it does not suit the controlled Western narrative.

Luhansk is already liberated... don't you know about it from France 24? Vous ne savez pas, n'est-ce pas? ты не знаешь, не так ли?

God bless Mr putin

They could probably equipt a drone on the older vehicles as well.

This looks like we would see a lot of flying turrets again. They try and try, but do not learn.

the battered forces you speak of has many men to replace lost combatants,can ukraine do that too?

Which tanks have the best pop-off turrets?

February 24, 2022: Ukraine did NOT attack Russia... BUT Russia attacked Ukraine -> Ukraine is the victim of this war

Irony. Putin "annexed" Kherson Oblast, Zaparozhe Oblast, Donetsk Oblast, and Lugansk Oblast, yet the Russians did not hold the entirety of any of those Oblasts. They still do not hold all of each of those Oblasts -- after fighting for almost nine years. Insanity is continuing to do the same thing over and over again and expecting that the result will be different.

Fire 🔥🕳️

Again and again the river of red will flow every invaders .

Javelin : “hey we’ve got a new prey,guys!”
Tractor : “oh really? i’ll be looking forward for it”
Drone : “don’t forget about me as well” 😂😂😂

Attack Luhansk? They can't even take the Village of Bilohorivka on that region!

Blow those tanks sky high! Much love to Ukraine from the USA!!

maybe we will see the T14 armata with the rebuilt elite tank units. Even the few terminators in service have been used by the russians in the last week in the woods around kreminna.

You just know a channel is gaining momentum when the Russian bots swoop down within 15 minutes after video release.

This will be the Ukrainians 3rd roll of the dice

Russia have tanks ??
Well, even if they have tanks, they have no ammunition.

More worthy candidates for the flying turret competition!

So if Ukraine is losing in this war, and the Russian elite army is not even involved in the current skirmish, what hope is there now that Russia's best are set to join in against Ukraine?

😔🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿

Biden send long range Himars before it even start. Flatten the ground where the tanks are positioned. Don’t allow them too move.

1st Guards are currently in orbit.

"Big Revenge" is typical of the media language the Kiev regime uses -- maybe because the Zelenskyy inner circle comprises media moguls like he is and elected Rada deputies kept their positions but not their executive powers. A few have left Ukraine but the Kiev propaganda will not admit that any more than it reports casualties and losses of donated weapons.
While the Kiev Basin driving of tanks by national service rookies supposedly ending exercises in Belarus was a military failure due to a wider plan being abandoned with the loss of Hostomel Antonov airfield a serious aim to occupy or damage Kiev City into submission was clearly absent.
The Ukrainian regular army's swift dash to western Kharkiv was successful in dispersing whatever the Russians were doing there and even Moscow will have learned from that. However, undue concentration on Kiev then a swing to Kharkiv was at the expense of Russia too easily establishing the so-called 'land bridge' and occupying Kherson city which it did not fortify and it was clear that southern Kherson was more important.
The forces mentioned here should be sufficient to settle pockets of regular and Lugansk allies of Kiev (a faction of the LPRA which split from the pro-Russian one) and a possible large attack by Kiev forces would hardly benefit from new western armor of MBT size given training time, arrival of Abrams as well as German L2 tanks and how long it would take to transport these to the far east of Ukraine. Russia would use its air assets, EW systems and heavy armor all the way from the Dnieper. While Challenger, Leclerc and a variety of Bradley weapons could be involved they are too small in number to make strategic sense. Add to that factions in parts of Kharkiv and Sumy oblasts favoring Russia and it becomes less likely that a clash will occur.
Instead, Russia will continue to go around such as Bakhmut and Kramatorsk/Lysichansk to secure the Donbas border and establish a buffer zone as the delayed winter sets in.
With Enerhodar nuclear station decommissioned, all fuel and waste removed and IAEA technicians present on rotation for months Russia will retain presence in Zaporozhzhia until talks resolve issues and port sharing as in pre-Minsk days is restored then I think with Crimea's position guaranteed there can be a steady pull out of K herson oblast as Russia does not want to maintain forces so far west.
It will need Black Sea passage for grain and fertilizer for several more years but its economic interests have for some years been in the huge markets of Asia and, with China and the sub-continent Africa and South America. A demographically and declining Europe is of little interest to Russia as long as it is not threatened by proximate weapons owned and directed by the USA.

Creativity of CRUX sources has no limits .....:-))

i bet it will be a lot different this time around/no experience going into a battle against ukrainians who had been prepping for years now should be a more even battle

Those Challengers and Leopards have no active protection from top-down and loitering munitions (APS w hemispheric coverage (Trophy for example)) and ditto the M1A2s (until at-least 2024 for the Abrams). They'll be shredded.

What will be reason foe Russia to deploy ita strongest Tank Army in Luhansk. They must be planning to attack Keiv City from Luhansk

Conscripts and prisoners will drive those tanks. The well trained troups got eliminated last year. Plus - they might find Challengers or Leopards on Ukraines side.

1st guards hasn’t even gone in yet. Kharkiv and kyiv were old T-72’s and t-62’s lol. Just old meat Grinder tanks.

The 1st batch of M2 Bradley's are en-route to Belgium where they will be put on trains to Ukraine.

CRUX trying it’s best to confuse viewers despite the fact that Soledar and Ughledar has been lost by Ukraine to Russia . What a joke 😂😂😂

Those tanks gonna burn the harder they come harder they gonna fall

These tanks need to be accompanied by the alligator helicopters and those terminator btm's

Putler’s 1st Guards Tank army will take a L for the third time! 😂
Slava Ukraini! 🇺🇦

If it's mobilised troops .,.well they are going to be half ass when battle begin s that's for sure

The 1st Guards tank army will be annihilated again by the Ukrainian army but this time with the help of Abrams, Leopards 2 and Challenger 2 tanks. Russian tanks will burn 🔥 again 😂

Bitten jn Kiev.... Hahhaahhsa

So far I have not seen that 'hundreds' of Western MBTs have been pledged to Ukraine.

Stop calling the 1st GTA "elite", they had the same garbage training as the rest of the Russian army. They were "politically reliable" in the USSR, prestigious (in Russia), and based near Moscow (the center of the universe to Russia). Sure, they got "better" equipment, the T-80 is the worst of the Russian tanks, overall, though. At least for the Russians. The big problem with the T-80U is the turbine-engine, which guzzles fuel. The Russians have serious problems with logistics overall, and fuel is hard to deliver (need tankers or lots of drums), and is a priority target for Ukraine, alongside with ammunition logistics.
This same "elite" unit was stopped by territorials (essentially armed-civilians), and a single Ukrainian tank brigade, operating only a hundred tanks, all of which were much older and less capable than the Russian tanks (which numbered between 500 and 700 or so at the invasion start). That's "elite"? Can't even call them Moscow's highest-prestige unit, after the ass-kicking they took in Kharkiv... not sure the current commander wants to be associated with them, but he's also shown he's as incompetent as the rest of the Russian command structure.
The only thing that the 1st GTA has done really well in the war in Ukraine, is donate military equipment to the Ukrainian army.

"Beaten by the Ghost of Kyiv in the Battle that only Exists in Western Fools Minds"

Obviously Ukraine is having a very hard time in the Donbas where the locals are not Ukrainian. Just the same it is a pity that so many Ukrainian young men are dying while the real owners and controllers of Ukraine , the oligarchs and president, are not even ethnic Ukrainian

Anyone know what the background music is?

Putins 1st Guards. This reminds me when Iraq sent in theirs and got hammered by US and UK tanks. Bring in the Leopards and I feel Putin is going to be very upset at the outcome.

Poor Zelensky, his fate is coming, Russia will destroy him.

Amen

The red guard are some of the most elite of shock troops.

Russia has elite troops? lol

CRUX's favourite clown is ALWAYS on its show😂

The sending of tanks American or German will not change the battlefield , Ukraine faces a bloodbath the severity of which only increase each time the Americans, AS AN ADMISSION OF FAILURE OF PROJECT UKRAINE, escalates the situation with more weaponry but it has changed the politics and that should worry the Germans far far more than the decision to send tanks .

"A neutral Finland will be a secure Finland"
A neutral Ukraine would have avoided all of this carnage . But neutrality is not what the US is seeking and have been seeking since they change Nato's rules they need and now have with the "ALL FOR ONE AND ONE FOR ALL POLICY" the ability to dictate then control all the actions of Nato . Where the US goes so must Nato and all US allies that have been roped into this policy here and in the Pacific and world wide . Few of the US wars-on-terror were Europe's wars . They were US wars .
ITS MOST IMPORTANT FUTURE WAR WITH CHINA IS CERTAINLY NOT A EUROPEAN WAR .
By pressurising and blackmailing Germany into sending tanks the US have changed this war Ukraine conflict to a "REGINE CHANGE " in Russia as a prelude to provoking China into war . No longer could they rely on just weakening Russia in The Ukraine because Russia was winning from day one so now they know they have to defeat Russia before they provoke China and they need Germany to be fully committed on both fronts which they were not until now maintaining some air of neurtrality and independence .
THAT HAS GONE GERMANY AND GERMANS ARE NOW FULL PARTNERS IN THE US POLICY
That is the sea change for the Germans . They will be taken by Nato not to a full scale war against Russia but when Stolltenberg as he promised moves Nato into the Pacific and Pacific Alliances Germany will have to follow Nato in as do the rest of the Nato . Those are the rules . They we're not when Nato was formed but now under the rules "ALL FOR ONEC AND ONE FOR ALL " Finland cannot remain neutral from the actions of the US not in the Ukraine ,not in the "Regime Change " war against Russia and not when the US provokes a war with China nor can any other ally of the US But remember the quote form Henry Kissinger
THE US DOES NOT HAVE ALLIES ONLY INTERESTS

THE US HAS CHANGED THE UKRAINE CONFLICT TO THE ONE THEY NOW HAVE DESIRED ALL ALONG :- "REGIME CHANGE" IN RUSSIA AND HAVE THE GERMANS TRAPPED INTO THIS PROJECT

Just have to send more and more javilin

Glory to the Russian Federation. 🇷🇺

Where are these tanks from US, Germany and other countries Putin's big revenge is now starting so what would be the situation if Ukraine if these tanks isn't yet there

Go Russia ! Fighting tyranny ! Much respect ! 🇷🇺🖖💥

Interesting the 1st Guard Tank Army was not even close in Kahrkiv when the Ukrainian counteroffensive started. Moreover they've covered the retreating Russian units. Next time do the homework. Anyway I'm eager to see that Leopards turrets can fly higher or further than Russian T-72's.

Russia is giving Ukraine a big smack.

This time , russian tank army already know that kyiv well not welcome them,,,

Third time lucky?
Or
Three strikes. Your out of here😵☠⚰

Do they still have tanks though? Or they have to use T-62 now?

Be a real attack and war this time,

Have they replaced the tank's cheap Chinese tyres which melted when they attacked Kiev one year ago?

Why Russia started offensive war in Ukrain on Feb.2022 .

Common salengski Russia is losing... don't be scarred

This time situation is different, Ukraine needs more Co Caine to fight now ...🤣

Get the rats of toorbruk (aka Ukraine) ready with their nlaws - you can do it boys 👊🏼💪 slava ukraini 🇺🇦❤️

so let me guess staffed by Russian forced draft conscripts who are less trained and motivated than the ones before, hmmmm...I expect massive losses for the 1st GTA again.

Don't worry..they are good only in parades..

Ukrianians has something to fight for, their land, their families that's why they are unstoppable! Russian army only fight for putin and almost everyone of them are not happy with it, dying for putin is not a great death and that's the reason they are failing and losing this war.

you has to knock down the survaillance cameras

Third time fail again. Three strikes and you are out.

🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🏋🏽🏋🏽🏋🏽🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺

Ukrainian farmers 🚜 are going to be working overtime with this lot.

You work for 40yrs to have $1M in your retirement, meanwhile some people are putting just $10k in a meme coin from few months ago and now they are multimillionaires.

I remember the powerful Leopards in Syria and powerful Abrams in Afghanistan 😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂🤣😂

Stop the Bell !!

yes the 1st GTA soldiers ran like chickens , abandoned their tanks and APCs, stole local cars and bicycles and ran for the border back to Russia hahahaha HOW EMBARASSING.

It's so amusing

There's a nasty smell in the Kremlin, they call it POO-tin.

Russian was never beaten in any of the areas you mention. You do not understand the art of war. The kyiv attack was to pin down Ukrainian troops while the real fight was in the east. And also to force a negotiation which worked but was torpedoed by NATO!

Yeah Ukrain know how to beat them

It's do or die. No more playing brothers

Russian Bomb = Bad
Iraqi Bomb = Bad
English Bomb = Good
American Bomb = Very good
Israeli Bomb = What Bomb ?

1st GTA are still stuck in the original Playstation days ;-)

It's so amusing listening to the comments of all of these armchair generals who don't know a damn thing about warfare
