A lot of heavy vehicles been on the move in the past hour. Putin claims he had halted the invasion due possible talks but is now moving forward.

No,Russia did not throw 100% of what it had all at once but Russian troops are only trained and equipped to a certain standard,the ruble only goes so far.

The A team might not be intended to be used in Ukraine.

Not my point at all. I think it's worth considering the idea that Putin actually intends, or perhaps intended, to push past Ukraine. He certainly said he did. As such it's possible that his plan was for Ukraine to be a relatively easily defeated opponent thorough which he would roll his reserves on to the next border. That may explain why he's reportedly holding as much of 70% of his forces in reserve.

I see those and I wonder what scenario could have evolved. There hasn't been much talk and I had heard the Ukraine drone base was bombed, but perhaps there are still many flying around.


Those are some good size craters!


Also would be an excellent opportunity for any NATO country with the same type of drones to do some quiet direct assistance

 He has to hold a reserve in case Poland enters the conflict,with or without NATO. He must also still pacify a nation that doesn’t want them there. The Belarusian people don’t want Lukašenko let alone Putin so he must effectively occupy that nation as well.

 I believe he thought this would be over in 12 hours,the West would accept a new puppet in Kyiv even if it wasn’t recognized -actually all the better to be unrecognized- and that would be it.

 Every hour that goes on increase the minuscule odds of Putin losing “we had to save Russians from those Jew Nazis” at home. If the dam breaks and Russians become unafraid to take to the streets against him he needs enough men to keep control. He is at a delicate balance.

Well said.

All of this - 100%.

Look at Russia's assault on Grozny years ago and you'll see exactly the same young, inexperienced, and scared out of their minds Russian soldiers.

This IS the Russian military.

Everyone thinks the VDV or Spetsnaz = the entire Russian military.

Couldn't be farther from the truth.

If it's going bad for Putin, all bets are off as to how he acts. And if the discussion of a peace treaty is Russian bullshit, then what does that tell us...

Very.

Do any of the Diaper in Chief's handlers have the knowledge or balls to run Cold War type operations? It doesn't feel it so far. I don't feel like we are ramped up enough to be seen as a deterrent, nor are we building in face-saving options for Putin.

Yes you did. You said this characterises their entire military. It doesn’t. And calling me a Putin fan for pointing out the obvious is a weak attack.

 No. The average age of a deployed soldier is 10 years older in the US. Conscription aside,Russians aren’t paid and otherwise compensated enough to make it a career choice in the same way so they,for example,have a lower age of NCOs due to so many leaving service rather than how many 30-35 year old Sergeants you will find in the US forces. This is part of their discipline problems due to lack of maturity as well as creates issues of a lower level of overall institutional knowledge.

The Russian dam breaking is the scenario that scares me. Those last few hours that Putin has his finger over the nuke button will be tense to say the least.

I don’t say that as a justification for Putin to stay in power.

Good to know.. I always assumed it was much younger like college aged. I knew we had lots of older enlisted i just thought the lower enlisted was younger.

Im just hear for the lulz. I dont personally believe anything I'm being told and only have of what i can see.

I dont trust any one to give me the unadulterated truth. you could tell me Russia is whipping that ass or Ukraine has kicked the commies ass and id still be dubious.


ETA. Remember the spin we were told about Lynch and crew and how they bravely fought off their captors with malfunctioning rifles loading one round at a time cause they were malfunctioning.. Turns out they just got lost and surrendered with out a fight.

As i said. I dont believe a GD thing.

The only strategic logic I can apply to Russian's plan is if they wanted to soak up as much Anti-Tank and Anti-Air with their most inexperienced soldiers and obsolete hardware, otherwise they just suck.

how embarrasing, this is Putins army? lol


Russia probably has 10,000 vehicles and one MTLB runs out of gas and it is the tipping point!?!?

People run out of gas during many exercises. It happens.


Dis I say that putin apologist?,  ffs it does show the incompetence of an untrained and under supplied army that runs out of food, gas and even having yo stop and ask the enemy for directions.. buy go ahead and try to boost the image of your heroes. Lol


Dude, shit runs out of fuel all the time.  We have the same issues.

Welcome to the real world where logistics is hard.

Just spitballing here, but...

I wonder how much Sun Tzu ol' Pooty read, and how it factors into the campaign so far.

The Soviets were avid practitioners of maskirovka.

I dont trust any one to give me the unadulterated truth. you could tell me Russia is whipping that ass or Ukraine has kicked the commies ass and id still be dubious.


ETA. Remember the spin we were told about Lynch and crew and how they bravely fought off their captors with malfunctioning rifles loading one round at a time cause they were malfunctioning.. Turns out they just got lost and surrendered with out a fight.

As i said. I dont believe a GD thing.

Both sides are exaggerating.  Russia isn't doing as well as they wanted but they are still progressing. Ukraine is doing better than expected but still losing.

 I hope not but don’t know how NATO/EU could fail to respond after the “red lines” on chemical warfare in Syria,to say nothing of Europe.
