Military observations on Ukraine invasion

[Anonymous]

The confirmed list is missing many more, like Major General Mityaev of the 150th Motorized Rifle Brigade, confirmed dead outside Mariupol. That's now 15% of the Russian general staff in Ukraine confirmed killed.

I'm also seeing that rather than stalemate of the last few days, today there were significant Ukrainian counteroffensives in the south as well as northeast of Kyiv which destroyed a number of Russian armor and supply as well as significant loss of Russian equipment at the Kherson air base, which this time has been confirmed via satellite and other imagery.

Russia will be calling up their reverse soon and sending them into Ukraine. You think the Russian equipment and moral was bad before you have not seen anything yet.

Why are Russian generals getting killed?

I'd argue that Putin's reality is only partly fake.

His greatest fear is that the West will seek to de-stabilize his regime. He has seen the US topple governments in other countries. He has watched NATO gradually encircle his country. While his paranoia may exaggerate the risks he is facing, I think the risks are real, as opposed to imagined.

Don't you think that starting this war is going to do much more to destabilize his regime than anything else? I don't see any of this ending well

His greatest fear will always be being Ceausescu'd.

He was not afraid of NATO. He thought that NATO was falling apart and went for a kill shot which blew up in his face.

A revitalized NATO, thanks to Donald Trump, who called out member countries who weren’t fulfilling the 2% GDP contribution to defense.

Trump is why NATO is stronger today. Thank him.

Because their non-commissioned officers and conscripts are not doing what they want.

Real battle leaders have to lead from the front; no one else is doing it so the Generals are doing it.
Problem for Russia is that when you are at the front you are exposed to enemy fire.

Russia has some very capable officers; but like any military they rely on their command chain to execute their orders. When that does not work senior officers are exposed to combat as the try to execute their orders.

Arming them is not enough and it’s time to move in to liberate them. Zelensky’s heroism should inspire all Americans to not live in fear.

So why don’t YOU go over to Ukraine, pick up a rifle, and go shoot some Russians? Anyone can. All you need to do is go. So step up if you feel so strongly about it. You’re advocating sending MY son - let’s see you step up yourself.


Oh wait, I forgot about this…..

Odds are you wouldn’t even fight to defend THIS country. I guess we couldn’t expect you to go fight for someone else’s.

Because people with rifles are shooting at them.


So much for the “you can’t fight a modern army with your silly AR15” meme, huh?

I think you’re right and that answers the question of why he invaded now. He saw that Biden was uniting and strengthening NATO and so this was his best chance before it got stronger. Trump did a lot of damage. And he couldn’t do it a year ago because of Covid.

I laughed so loud I woke up our dog just now when I read that part.

Gawd you people are delusional. Seriously - I couldn’t write satire and parodies that are more absurd than your nuttery.

Generals are too old and fat and out of shape to hump around on foot, so they ride in vehicles. Vehicles that are drawing bullets and rockets like flies to poop. How long do you think you’d survive in a place like that with hundreds of people shooting at you all day long from every direction?

This makes no sense. Generals do not lead from the front. It does not seem you have an understanding of how an army works.

If you are a general you have about 5-10k troops around you. This is not a TV show where you just walk up to a general and shoot him. If you approach within 1000m of a Russian base of operation or column they will fire on you. These are likely switchblade drone attacks.

More bullying from a Republican! Devoid of any ideas other than “your team is bad”.

They are intercepting their calls and geolocatiing them. Apparently Russian secure communication ERA system does not work so Russian army communicating on not secure lines.
