Russia Invades ukraine

[Ty Korrigan]

Sadly Ukraine just lost another HIMARS to an Russian Iskander.

 Despite the crew practicing shoot and scoot, it was being tracked by an observation drone.

That's shite. I wonder if the crew made it out.

 

I saw something recently about how many Bradleys Ukraine has been losing, but it isn't as big a deal as it could be... because the crews generally have a good level of survivability. And a decent Bradley crew is a lot harder to replace than the vehicle itself.

I thought the Brads were taking out a few Russian tanks . There was some footage of a Brad peppering a tank , the tank firing back but missing then a second Brad attacked from another angle and the T90 got the old spinning turret syndrome then blew up .

It seems , so far , that Ukraine has taken as much ground in eight days than Russia has taken in eight months ...

Russian trenches are being made   a way behind  the current  frontline  so they must  think  they could get  that far?

I hope they remember what happened to French and German armies that over extended themselves into Russia.

Exactly, pull back, sucker them in, attack from either side and surround them! It’s happened when the Ukrainians have been defending on a narrow front and ignoring their flanks?

the Russians arnt exactly stupid, they’ve got the time, manpower and bullets and bombs.
