[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]

Lol.  That sounds like the English plan in braveheart to send in the Irish as target practice.
Typically, in modern warfare; you send in highly trained forces to disrupt command and control and sabotage operations to create fear.

Sending in your scrubs first for target practice and build enemy confidence would be a new one.  Maybe they think they are in Stalingrad playbook but this time invading instead of defending and it will confuse the Ukrainians.[/quote]

By my estimation they have sent about 18% of Russia's military resources into Ukraine - and it's been a mix of compulsory service teenagers who don't want to be there and professional (paratroopers and elite) - but it's been a mess for them all the same.  Yes, they can escalate and send more but that will start to mean pulling their troops from Syria and other deployments around the world, along with starting to whittle away at their own national defense...[/quote]

18%?  Less than one hundred thousand men have been sent in. [/quote]
