[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Meh.....they sent in a bunch of teenagers and early 20s somethings (kids) conscripts with crappy supplies and weapons to serves as fresh meat to be turned into ground beef.  They were used to soften up the Ukraine.  Russia's advanced weaponry and elite divisions till haven't really been deployed yet.  People shouldn't get confident at all that Russia has been 'struggling'.  They are just getting warmed up, so I wouldn't extract a whole lot from the first week of combat. [/quote]

So they sent in their 3rd string bench warmers just to confused the US military and intelligence officers?

Makes a lot of sense.

Russia does not wants to limit the loss of their most advanced equipment and heavy armor.  Force the Ukrainians to use up all of their anti-tank weapons, stingers, etc. on junk equipment operated by a bunch of kids forced to enlist.  Ukraine will be out of ammo soon.  Molotov cocktails don't work against fearsome T90s.  And who knows if they start field the T14. It's a beast. [/quote]

This could make some sense if true.  But these were not junk units and the equipment is their standard top of the line stuff.  The don't have that many T90s according to Jane's.  Ditto T14 -- and I saw some T-14s burning in the last couple of days.

Ukraine unlikely to be without ammo as it keeps pouring in.

Time will tell but they may not have the ability to field a modern army --- even on their border.
