The depletion of mechanized forces.

On a related point, I have been quite surprised at some of the tactical blunders the Russian Federation field commanders have made, especially at the outset. I am very familiar with Putin's early career in the KGB and that fantastic con job he pulled when East Germany came apart at the seams and he has shown some cleverness in dealing with political situations inside his nation, but I am beginning to learn that large tactical operations are not one of his strong points.

Yes, the Ukraine forces are really good; very true. But they aren't that fantastic. And in the early days the U.S. was gladly dumping old equipment into that AO to help ourselves. We could then go and build new stuff.

It has only been after the errors made by the Russian Federation field officers made it clear the newer stuff was a good idea that the Ukraine forces starting getting some hotshot stuff. AND they got super good at that new style of drone attacks. Well, kind of new. They have taken that weapons system to a higher tactical level.

I was married to a Ukrainian woman who, in Canada as a child trained as a soldier to one day take back Ukraine from the Russians.

They used broom sticks as weapons and learned military techniques including sabotage.

I have been to Poland and Ukraine.

The soil is pitch black.

That soil is what Ukrainians and Poles live and die for. Children will lay down their lives and did against overwhelming odds like German Panzers.


I also know Russians. They're lazy and corrupt. They tend to run or hide in a direct firefight. It's why this "war" is still going on when it should have ended after ten days!


My money is on Kiev.

You know neither Ukrainians nor Russians, irrespective of how many of them you married. Russians and Ukrainians are more alike than different: equally corrupt, equally brave

I've been to both countries. Ukrainians and Russians are different in numerous respects.

Tanks regularly shrug off drone attacks. You can get lucky, but the average FPV doesn't have the actual power to knock out a protected tank.





The majority of drone killes on tanks you see are against already immobile or disabled tanks.

So the idea that drones have rendered tanks or AFVs irrelevant is nonsense. Both the Russians and Ukrainians clamor for more AFVs.

LOL How do you think the tanks got immobilized? Ukrainians drones carry anti-tank shells and yes they can disable tanks. Do you think Russia makes their "turtle tanks" because drones are ineffective? Ukraine uses other weapons like mines and artillery against tanks but drones are quite effective against them too.
