Britain is also pulling out all of their military instructors. Now who will show them how to integrate a tea kettle into a main battle tank?

They've unlocked the samovar technology, they have no need of the British. Sadly, both sides have this advancement, so we can't ascertain who has the overall strategic advantage.

Okay, that's a bit worrying. Supplying the invasion excuse right here.

This is obviously bullshit (the part about Polish and US mercenaries arriving at the line of contact), but does that really matter if it gives Putin the excuse to invade in order to "protect" the Donetsk People Republic or whatever it's name was?

It doesn’t indeed, they’ll fabricate something regardless of Ukrainian or Western actions, same as in all previous flareups of the war. They way you worded your post just gave me an impression that you’re on Pushilin’s side.

I wonder what Russians (the general population) think of all this. Are they for invasion? Is Putin gaining popularity by threatening imminent bloodshed?

They way you worded your post just gave me an impression that you’re on Pushilin’s side. Sorry, I've phrased that poorly then. It's just that he massing of troops, evacuation orders for non-Ukrainians due to US security services believing an invasion is imminent, blockading of Ukrainian ports, the Russians themselves reducing their embassy staff, and now an attempt to to create a justification for Russians crossing the border (to defend the people in Donetsk from "foreign mercenaries") is just a further sign that an invasion is a very real possibility, and it's freaking me out a bit.

I've seen some assessments that the Russias have around 100 Battalion Tactical Groups. Does anyone know how many of those are maneuver elements vs logistical units? If there's a better thread for such questions let me know. Stay safe EE goons.

If there's a better thread for such questions let me know. Stay safe EE goons. A standard BTG has 3 maneuver companies, indirect, support company and specialized troop companies. They kind of handle their own logistics and coordinate thru a brigade sized element and higher for more stuff. Everyone has supply troops and logistics areas will have a bunch. Sorta educated guess is that 25-35% of their troops staged to move from there are logistics/support.

Even 60 BTGs would be the equivalent (very roughly) of 20 US BCTs. The US Army has 30-ish of those. Thats a lot of military power just outside Ukraine.

The other big difference is that Russia has to keep at least one dubstep truck in each platoon sized element

Thats a lot of military power just outside Ukraine. The consensus of estimates so seems to be steady at “above 100 BTGs”, or >50% of relevant active duty forces.

Guess we'll see on the 14th if anything actually happens with the Duma
