Where are the Ukrainians? Are they luring them into a Grozny type of trap in the first Chechnyan war? |

It might be. But we really do have bio labs there. And Putin really has accused the US and Ukraine of developing bio-weapons close to its borders. Putin: "“you pay attention to the fact that in the world, more and more new biological laboratories under the control of the United States are growing by leaps and bounds. Moreover, by a strange coincidence – mainly at the Russian and Chinese borders.” He added that the US claims they work with local scientists to develop ways to fight dangerous pathogens but what happens inside those walls was unknown. We are told that peaceful sanitation stations operate near our borders, but for some reason, they are more reminiscent of Fort Detrick in Maryland, where Americans have been working in the field of military biology for decades. By the way, we should pay attention to the fact that outbreaks of diseases that are not typical for these regions are recorded in the surrounding areas.” |

The US was slapping similar grating on its armor in the past to reduce the damage from RPG hits, but it was on the sides. |

The Russians thought these would mitigate a top-down attack. The Ukrainians tested a javelin on one and it still blew the lid off their test T-72. Unknown if these work against other top down munitions, but I have a feeling we'll find out soon enough. |

When you fire a javalin you draw a box around the target. Then you set the fire solution with one trigger and use the other to fire. You can make it penetrate where you want before it detonates. Idiots if they think ghetto rigged slat armor will protect them. |

It’d be interesting if the Chinese moved on taking at least part of Siberia for the mineral wealth while Russia is so absorbed with taking the Ukraine.
They could have Taiwan any time, but Siberia with its wealth would be a bigger win. |

This is all so bumming! I've read so many WWII books and recognize the old names of these towns as huge battles on the eastern front. Kharkov, Rostov, Kiev...and to think there's some old folks there that lived through it then experiencing this now. Peaking back at the old maps, Ukraine was HUGE back then, from the Baltic to Black Sea. The allllways hated the Russians. The Germans let them practice Christianity again there's stories in the memoirs about how they would pull out their crosses and religious things during the German occupation.
My good friend's family are Ukranian and his sister actually was on a full scholarship doing Ukrainian folks dancing (sorry I know that probably not the right term). But proud people that's for darn sure. |

Update from Central Ukraine:
I feel that the longer I am living in this shit mess that our situation feels similar to Gondor's fight against the combined forces of Mordor (Belarus and Russia), we have lit the torches calling for Rohan's aid.... Unfortunately, I also feel that Rohan (the west) is to much of a pussy to come to our aid. The fight is here and now. If we lose, Europe you are next. You dumb mother fuckers. Regardless of the evolving situation on the ground, our boys are giving them hell and showing the world the strength and fighting spirit of Ukraine. I've lived through 2 wars (Early GWOT), 4 deployments, and nothing compares to the shit these boys are facing. I am damn proud of all our soldiers and to have called this place my home. We will not leave no matter the outcome. |
