georgia is interesting to me because it just felt like a libertarian paradise/hell hole with zero rules and a strong live and let live attitude, with people aware that russia next door / squatting in their living room meant that while there is a super pro ukraine sentiment among the country, business as usual meant do not gently caress around with russia i guess all you need is a few thousand nato ultras in the capital and you can cause problems

Small arms don’t mean poo poo but also the Russians made so many of those bakelite AK-74 magazines and literal mountains of 5.45 ammo, that it’s a bit ridiculous to say that it’s even conceivable they wouldn’t have enough to hand out. Which means it’s just The Enemy at the Gates thing again. They would have to be given only x magazines out of evil Asiatic contempt for human life, because even the Red Army infantryman of 1989 carried more.

I just came to that realization, but the delivery needs to be 200% smugger and allude to “water, water everywhere, but not a drop to drink” because the orcs are so bad at logistics their soldiers don’t even have the arms stockpiled in heaps back at Isengard. “No it’s not silly and contradictory, it just shows how incompetent they are”.

If the report about 2-3 mags were true (no reason to believe it is), the simpler answer would be that Wagner is a PMC being cheap, not that the Russian government runs low on rifle ammo or trains.

mlmp08 posted:If the report about 2-3 mags were true (no reason to believe it is), the simpler answer would be that Wagner is a PMC being cheap, not that the Russian government runs low on rifle ammo or trains. lol I know you went through infantry school or whatever and know better than this. It is more expensive, ultimately and even immediately, in a variety of ways, to not provide the resources that would bring battlefield success. The Bakelite magazines were designed to be cheap, 5.45 is cheap. It is cheaper for Wagner, the Russian military and anyone else involved to hand out ammo than to pay the cost in blood and treasure for a stalled out attack. Say the Wagner group has to pump the brakes on a section attack because they don't have enough ammo to shoot the enemy off the position. Calling for fire costs the price of the shells and propellant - which is greater. Then of course is all of the other costs. The opportunity cost of a battery tasked with that that might be firing other missions, which means another attack runs into trouble, pensions to troops wounded that might not have been otherwise, benefits to widows so on and so on etc. It's incalculable, obviously, but as an axiom, ammo is cheap, lives (and failure) are expensive. I'm not saying that's always understood in peacetime, obviously, but as every child knows: For want of a nail the shoe was lost. For want of a shoe the horse was lost. For want of a horse the rider was lost. For want of a rider the message was lost. For want of a message the battle was lost. For want of a battle the kingdom was lost. And all for the want of a horseshoe nail. e: I realize you said "no reason to believe it is (true)". So, this is just to address the idea that "well, they're cheap" is more or less finding reasons to believe Ukrainian rehashing of Wehrmacht mythology after the fact.

Admittedly, the current government has been pretty passive on the issue, it is a bunch of rebel rousers on the streets that want to redraw the map. Honestly, the sense I got from Georgians is a lot of them dont’t even really mind Russians or Russia and really just don’t want another war but like every country you got a nationalist fringe that don’t want anyone looking at their financial connections.
