"Morale is never a factor for the invader, always for the defender only" "Lol the Russians will just get payed in Putin bucks and eat mud: Putin's got this!" Please read about what happens to an army with no supply/ no way to pay their troops: the answer may surprise you!

Speaking of superior equipment - here's a "before and after Ukraine" of the Armata [EDIT: not actually, it's a different high spec tank] https://twitter.com/oryxspioenkop/status/1498076996768866313?t=XUbqAkM0GnDXl6CehmpufA&s=19 KitConstantine fucked around with this message at 03:03 on Feb 28, 2022 |

Warad posted:The massive fuckup at Hostomel is definitely confirmed for sure. The downed Il-76s however are still up in the air, US officials confirmed them all so there's some notion they did go down, but literally nothing about crash sites or debris, so who really knows. I know Russians took and subsequently lost the airfield but did we get confirmation of the incredibly bad helo op that was reported? I saw zero evidence of this at all.

I was talking to my mom who’s currently on vacation in Europe about this conflict and it’s worse than I thought. The Serbian people have been hopeless brainwashed by a pro Russian bias. They think they were dealt a bad hand in 1999 and they can’t get over it and move on with their lives so clearly what’s happening in Ukraine is some imperialist plot. I am so ashamed. I wish people were better than this.

TulliusCicero posted:"Morale is never a factor for the invader, always for the defender only" Lol yeah I mean seriously. Russian soldiers will have to seek food from somewhere. Probably domestic ukrainian supplies which will cause a higher casualty rate or POW rate. That's when things could get really really hairy. If surrendering = tasty food and warm bunks the Russians will start having problems that the field commander's will not report..and the troop numbers of reality will quickly be lopsided to the troops being counted as "present".

BIG FLUFFY DOG posted:In the Russian article the dude posted you have to google translate the Russian colonel says that it’s a cliche in Russian military reports for a single paratrooper squad to take a city in a couple hours or tens of minutes. As far as I can tell, the VDV fits the same sort of cultural niche that the Marines do in the US complete with their own separate recruiting. They've even got the same sort of energy spending zillions of bucks on specialized equipment for giant airdrops or contested naval landings at the expense of funding for the rest of the armed forces.

There Bias Two posted:Holy poo poo. What melted it to slag? Underneath all of that armor is a huge amount of fuel and explosive ordinance. Morrow posted:I was always skeptical of the idea of active armor to deal with antitank weapons. It seemed like a lot of money to try to keep tanks relevant in modern warfare. There is some debate as to if they even are any longer. It depends on the sort of war being waged, IMO, but having a vehicle that can be defeated by a weapon a tiny fraction of its cost does suggest that giving tankers a pat on the back and sending them off into a city is not how they should be used.

But they certainly are constrained in the sense that they, in the spirit of the charter, can't join in the fray without a UN fig leaf Article 1 of the charter has never been practiced, NATO countries have gone to war without a UN fig leaf multiple times. Notably the invasion of Iraq which included several NATO members while also being technically illegal (war of aggression). The 1999 bombing of Serbia was constituted as a NATO-led operation and also began without any approval from the security council. Poland is free to join if it wants, but Poland isn't going to war with Russia.
