Ukraine and Only Ukraine. If it isn't about Ukraine then fuck off

Russians don't do combined arms very well. Would you trust your side dropping danger close on you if you were Russian?

Those guys were dead when they were told to hold a trench with guns and grenades against armor with a plan and a birds eye view of the battleground.

Russian danger-close is a mile

Its a war and its interesting. Is this your first war

yeah, it's 'interesting' alright. problem is, that taste of shit in the mouth increasingly just kills it for me, you know?

I will give the guy who tossed a grenade at the tank credit for being an optimist. This is what is truly sick about Putin-many dead Russians are held out as some sort of proof that Ukraine is very dangerous to Russia.

No one is making you read about the war AFAIK.

I'm surprised they used up a lot of precious ammo to do that job. But perhaps that was the only option. Once the Bradleys arrive the scenario will change a lot.

The optics on T72's are Russian...

There's an appreciation of strategy, tactics, equipment, and the way humans act in those situations.


But yes, dead people do put a dampener on it.

I get that (more or less).
that being said, it's my opinion militarism should die a billion horrific deaths for what it imposes on this world. if I could snap my fingers right now...

If only Putin could grasp that....

Give me hospitals and schools before submarines!

Just the tip? No problems.

BMPR was positioned nicely, shots fired over trench ended up near second position.
No white flag.
Only one shot with ATGM which missed. It has been noted that they are short on close range ATGM.

Bad Optics makes moving a T72 slow, seems they miss a better ammo to attack a trench for this part of the front. Some say there are better options then HE rounds for this.
This was a stable front for months, without action, still two tanks ready for action.

Russian progression this winter with 300K man called up. In Red. 30% of Rus army attacks in this area.

Cannister rounds?

Didn't see any use of a hmg as well.
