Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By netstorm: They are sending in the garbage troops first so it's not surprising. Pretty sure they are human minesweepers and meatshields. We will see during round 2 if more optics come out. Then again Russia has never had a problem throwing in meat shields with crap equipment, they just don't care who dies. Considering that many Russian troops seem to not want to be there I can’t see it playing too well when further waves move up and see those that already got murked. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Brok3n: Assuming it's all true, it's shocking to see the Russian Air Force didn't provide fighter/jammer escorts. They usually love escorting the fuck out of everything they put up in the air. There's usually at least one NATO E-3 orbiting in the area outside of Ukraine. I'll take a wild guess that they are feeding Ukraine info. But it's just a guess on my part. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By outofbattery: There were plenty of reports weeks ago that Russia had brought in a large amount of ammonia gas to stage an event. They may be getting ready to use it. 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. 1. Troops should have protective masks as standard equipment - not a special issue item 2. Soviet doctrine was to use chem attacks when timetables were not being met in order to degrade enemy units. 3. Being as the Geneva Conventions prohibit chemical warfare this would be a big event. Previous by "non state actors" wink wink at least gave some fig leaf to pretend a signatory had not violated the accords, but this will be obvious that it didn't "just happen". |

Is there any form of a front in this conflict, or is it pockets and corridors of Russian controlled space and pockets and corridors of Ukrainian controlled space. I haven't seen any sort of illustration on this since some graphics published on night one.
Just wondering what the logistical situation looks like for Ukraine. It is still possible to get men and materiel where it needs to be within the country and from the Polish border if that is where the majority of resupply is coming from. It seems like the political will is growing to stock the Ukrainians with whatever they need to fight, but it has to get to where it needed, as well. Godspeed Ukraine. |

I know its early, and I know that the information is all subject to verification, but in a way, Zelenskyy appears to be emerging as a modern day Leonidas. All I know of his leadership this past few days is through the lens of western media and social media....and if a fraction of it is true, he is a man among men and a leader that history will remember for generations.
