Nothing I've seen anywhere leads me to believe that's the case. It's a talking point probably derived from what happened in Grozny, but even in Chechnya that was never a strategy but more just an observation of how things played out.

Even if that was their grand strategy in this instance, we're many many days past that point and the momentum seems to be pretty much static for the Russians.

Maybe they're better than Russian conscripts.

Penal battalions were formed from ZEKs, or prisoners.  If your battalion gets encircled, you become a traitor, "Enemy of the People" and go to Gulag and then to a penal battalion to "redeem" yourself.

I wonder if Putin plays stupid for now, lets them think they are winning, let's this continue for a bit longer, exhausts UA and then throws more divisions into the meat grinder, this time real, not BS conscripts.  That's how they won in Stalingrad. Threw fresh reserves into the battle.

Thing is, not sure he has that resource. Or can command anyone to go. Who in his right mind would climb into a box on wheels only to end up under fire.

 This isn’t 1941.


 Russian soldiers  are overwhelmingly poor/country kids that weren’t able to get out of it. Loads of them get suckered into becoming “contract soldiers” because a conscript’s  pay is so abysmally low that they’re essentially unpaid. At current real world exchange rate a conscript is earning about $7 per month,yes,seven.  Regardless of how Russians like to portray soldiers as heroes,being a conscript is a really low life position,everyone just looks down on them as poor or dumb.
 Still,I’ve brought this up many times,they don’t draft across the entire Russian demography,they take more Slavs than ethnic minorities so that the Army remains majority white. This doesn’t stop locally raised outfits from taking plenty of losses. In 2014 there were a bunch of burned up Buryat tankers for example  and this list of wounded at a hospital that someone leaked shows a whole bunch of Dagestani names. There was video of a town taken by a Dagestani outfit  in the first couple days war that looked utterly confused as to how Ukrainians met them,this could have been some of them later.

Putin is attacking Ukraine! Lets all give up some Liberty!
It is not like we did not know this is one of the objectives Democrats have been aiming for for two decades. Amazing that after the last two years of Covid BS, that many are still so easily fooled.
It is fine to sanction Putin, hell as far as I am concerned, stick a missile up his ass, but this legislation appears to be...problematic.

MTG, Bobert and Gaetz are giant tards but GD loves to bend over backwards to explain away their stupid moves.

Besides this vote and her tweet today on how we shouldn’t be supplying Ukraine, MTG also released a video stating Ukraine has no chance of winning and the US and Europe are giving them false hope by supplying them. As good Christians we should encourage them to surrender to save lives.  Much like Tucker Fucking Carlson, the useful idiots keep making excuses for statements that are crystal clear when simply taken at face value.

That map is complete garbage. First strike targets will be the missile silos in ND and MT, any submarines in Port, and air bases with nuclear capable aircraft.

There are 400 active minute man missiles and 40 launch control centers. The soviet doctrine was multiple hits per target to ensure destruction.

They won't have many left after those targets.

1. Penal battalions in WWII were sent on missions that involved clearing minefields and such.  They were small in number. 34 million people cycled through the Red Army in WWII. 400,000 in Penal battalions.  So if 1% of the Red Army were in Penal battalions, Im sure they were happily all killed off, but that isnt really indicative of anything happening right now.

2. The first wave of Soviets was not "penal battalions", they were breakthrough heavy armored units of shock armies, followed by rapidly moving tank armies of more reliable T-34s.

3. In Kabul, in 1979, Operation Storm-333 were Grom GRU commandoes, Alpha Group, followed by Soviet Airborne.  They did NOT lead with second stringers.

4. I noodled around looking at Prague Spring, the 1968 invasion of Czechoslovakia, and there is nothing there indicating the first wave were second stringers.


2008 invasion of Georgia:

In South Ossetia:
58th Army
(about 70,000 soldiers)
Russian Airborne Troops
4th Air Force Command
42nd Guards Motor Rifle Division
Spetsnaz GRU
Chechen Battalions "Vostok" and "Zapad"
In Abkhazia:
7th Guards Airborne Division
76th Guards Air Assault Division
Black Sea Fleet

1994, Grozny:

The 131st "Maikop" Motorized Rifle brigade famously got its ass kicked and wiped out in Grozny, but as far as I can tell it was home based 100 miles up the road in Maikop and wasn't any sort of conscript, penal battalion, or designated second stringer outfit.

Occam's Razor:

If the second stringers were committed, and according to plan we are about to see some awesome 1st string get on the playing field, why is Putin running around recruiting third stringer cannon fodder outfits from Vagner, Belarus, Chechnya, and Syrian mercs from ISIS?

I find it fascinating that a trained sniper is carrying a long barreled bolt action rifle with a suppressor and a high magnification scope as a “purely defensive” weapon.

They aren’t throwing everything in this, especially good units.

Maybe some but the few they do wouldn’t matter in the least.

but no they are not feigning to lose offensive after offensive here to lure the Ukrainians into being high morale and super dig in and allow them to completely re supply and to clog the highways and the last of the bridges with dead smoldering platoons.

The paratroopers got fucking wiped MULTIPLE TIMES across the entire theatre. The 1st tank army is bogged down.

Any big punch they were willing to throw has been thrown. They are pulling the goalie now and hiring merc’s.

Thesmallest nuke you can make work in either a ground or air burst is going to spew a shitfuck more detectable nucleides all over from hell to breakfast at least as much or more than Hiroshima or Nagasaki or the Chernobyl accident. So, yeah, no, it's a complete non-happener.

Peoples is ignernt with thir entire education from movies like The China Syndrome and Failsafe in re radiation. I founded a company to salvage decom missile sites in the mid nineties called Atlas Metals LLC and I got all up into the whole nuke paradigm, because it was fascinating as fuck. I love learning shit. I was as dumb as the next Wal-mart shopper in high school. But I met all these guys in about 1990 or so, and they were a year or so behind me.we salvaged 5 of the 9 Atlas -E coffin sites around Forbes AFB in the 348th SMG. There are over 300 tons of #2 medium carbon steel in an Atlas E coffin site launch bay overhead door. Cheeses, I'm way the fuck off the crazy train rails from the thread topic. Sorry.

Here's how I think Russia may handle this.

They claim they dont want to occupy; I believe them (sorta). They will lay siege to Kiev, capture Kharkiv and declare it the new capital, and install a puppet government.

Russia will then be asked by the 'new' government to help keep the peace; Russia will provide military aid to the "legitimate" govt forces (i.e. Russians). Hunting down 'dissidents' becomes the new business.

Putin gets his puppet state; mission accomplished.

For some reason, I don't think that China will back Russia in this. China is paying very close attention to how the world is attacking Russia on an economic level. China wants Taiwan and any economic sanctions on them will destroy that opportunity. I think they are hoping that Putin lobs a WMD with the hopes of NATO responding. If Putin does and NATO responds to it, that will be a clear path for China to make a run on Taiwan while our military is tied up else where.

On a side note, I spoke to my friend in Lviv that has been volunteering at the hospital and metro station. She said some stores and banks in Lviv are still open so people have been able to get some items when they are available. She hasn't worked since the start of the conflict, so I sent her some cash to help her out. They are using a warehouse for donations and supplies to send out in the field and give to refugees. I have been knowing her for years since I worked in Ukraine. She said she isn't leaving, she was born there and she will die there if it comes to it. Told her I got her bills, just keep helping others. I told her we have a lot of information here on this site, she tried to become a member, but her email isn't valid or something. So she has just been reading as a guest.

Vid of the warehouse they are using.

I wonder if Peter Schiff would have criticized him if he'd worn a shirt like that for his address to congress?

He looked like he'd been huffing glue for the past 48 hours.

No,he’s trying to scare everyone into compliance so that they’re too frightened to speak up about the not a war let alone do something as rash as a protest. Terror was the foundation of the USSR.

Plenty.

A lot of the good t90s (aka t90m and T90MS), cream of the crop dudes are held back specifically for this purpose should nato become directly involved.

They aren’t throwing everything in this, especially good units.

The paratroopers got waxed on the air, land and sea and that’s no exaggeration.

Those good units will be offset but the 10's of thousands of ATGMS, Drones, and other weapons pouring across the border to Ukraine every week.  For every tank Russia sends in, NATO sends in 100 weapons to kill it.

Cite?

I understand that the reports of downed Ilyushins full of paratroopers were shown to be propaganda/disinformation, like the whole Snake Island Heroes/sinking of the Russian warship.  No?

Are there pics or video of fields full of dead paratroopers?  If not. why not?

As good Christians we should encourage them to surrender to save lives.  Much like Tucker Fucking Carlson, the useful idiots keep making excuses for statements that are crystal clear when simply taken at face value.
