magnkarl Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 (edited) I wonder if any country has adapted to combined arms manouvering as quickly as Ukraine’s army has. There’s quite a few videos of standard Ukrainian btgs in Luhansk working as well together as any western btg would. Great to see.

Is good to see, but they've been trained by NATO forces since 2014, when they realised it wasn't a case of 'if', but 'when'. British 3 Rifles have been doing a good chunk of it.

chrisp65 Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 So my understanding is that the Russian position is that there is a NATO Nazi Jewish conspiracy against Russia. I’m guessing this is the work of their new defence and political strategist, Mr D Icke. I give it another 2 weeks before they reveal Zelenskyy is a lizard. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awol Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 Lots of NATO aircraft up around the Black Sea today. Two Russian patrol boats were killed by a TB2 drone earlier around Snake Island, and there's still a Russian amphibious group floating around somewhere. I wonder if Russia's going to try and put a Brigade ashore in the far west of Ukraine to try and link up with Russian forces in Transnistria? Bit of a Hail Mary play, but if Putin's getting desperate there's a non-trivial chance they might try it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjmooney Posted May 2, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted May 2, 2022 Assuming we don't all get nuked first, this campaign is going to be one of the prime courses taught at Sandhurst and West Point for decades to come. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awol Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 Perhaps this is really a competition and whoever breaks all of the Geneva Conventions first wins a washing machine looted from Ukraine? That might explain why they've been torturing and mutilating Ukrainian civilians that were kidnapped and taken back to Russia. I wonder how many Ukrainian children they've carved up so far, and why? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tinker Posted May 2, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted May 2, 2022 My guess is he will go nuclear if the losses continue, might be a battlefield nuke..I can't see him just withdrawing or losing, he will give it everything they have. If we see a sudden withdrawal of Russian troops then we know it's coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would you imagine that would happen? They currently have soldiers dying of radiation sickness because they were made to dig and live in trenches in the highly radioactive ground around Chernobyl. Putin won't give a shit about withdrawing any soldiers in your scenario. He's not going nuclear anyway imo. I don't even think China would support that because anyone supporting Russia at that stage will also be sanctioned. As it is you might as well think of Russia under the new name of West Korea 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted May 2, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted May 2, 2022 BBC news at 10 have just run a big story about massive Chinese investment in Europe. They've been doing this round the Pacific for years, it's building an Empire by legitimate means and subduing nations due to reliance on investment. World leaders need to be careful on this after ignoring the Russia threat for so long. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
