Ukrainian Soldiers Refuse To Surrender - Russia Ukraine War |

Originally Posted By CharlieR: Your average Russian soldier is binary.

In fact, in Tannenburg, WWI, Finland, all of 1941, Afghanistan, he mostly sucks. The radiation that turns him into the incredible hulk is when he thinks he is defending the Motherland. Be it back to the wall at Moscow in 1812 or 1941 or Stalingrad. Then he gets supermotivated and scornfully bitterly self-sacrificial. Strictly for tactical reasons, outside of some very specific targeting like the oil refineries right over the border, targeting Russia proper, especially teh civilians that represent the Motherland, is a bad idea. View Quote In 1812, Ivan mostly just ran away hard enough that the weather smoked a shit load of frogs, then they tried to mop up what was left of the dregs as they shambled back towards France. They mostly didn't do a very good job of that, either, considering what a mess were the remnants of the grande armee. |

How about that time we kept more than a dozen in the air... 24/7... for eight years? ... and that was completely separate from the 30 we had over vietnam every evening. To be fair, those two fucking around over europe right now can probably do more actual damage to an enemy than a dozen 60's era hydrogen bombs. |
