Russia Invades ukraine

[MattyF]

 I was reading reports that the Ukrainians can’t be trained in NATO tactics and insist on reverting back too soviet ones.. we have given them all our N laws which cost 20k a time and they where using them RPGS or worse abandoning them , there is now a thought the Russians now have more than we do… there was that whole brigade who where trained by the French who deserted , they had been given a lot of advanced weapon systems and AFV’s and they just walked away.. I think the soviet donkeys will be matching in to Kiev soon!

I think a lot of the tactics are a result of necessity. NATO tactical doctrine relies on overwhelming air superiority 🤷‍♂️they don’t have that but do have bucket loads or rpgs as do the other side hence they are in use.

This . They tried the Nato stuff and it was not suited to the war they were fighting . They ( the  Ukrainians ) are innovative and clever . I am not sure we could have adapted so quickly or made such an impact on overwhelming numbers .

The mind boggles. That's just shy of 3k per person in the UK.
