ICTChris Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 It is worth bearing in mind that the Russian forces will eventually break through and have success. They still have far more numbers and firepower. They seem to be having success advancing in the South of the country and there are reports of them making progress in the Donbas (remember that?). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Cort's Hamstring Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 I thought that the figures for Russian casualties that the Ukrainians were putting out must have been ridiculous overestimates for propaganda purposes, but now I wonder if they're actually pretty accurate. Even if they do eventually win, the Russian forces seem to have been led pretty incompetently. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williemillersmoustache Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 4 minutes ago, ICTChris said: A lot of videos of Russian troops walking into the city without tank or armoured support. Seems strange tactics, Russian commanders have apparently decided to throw troops at the resistance. Could be that they see armour as too vulnerable in high rise built up areas, a lesson from Grozny? And they can absorb the losses of light vehicles and men more easily than tanks and IFVs. Maybe there's a propaganda angle here too, fewer shots of burnt out armour to share on twitter and infantry and jeeps looks much better than artillery followed by tanks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CNN have a crew near the border there and it's columns of fighting vehicles heading into Ukraine so yip superior numbers will prevail but it's also a sign that its not as easy as first thought 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The intelligence and security committee inquiry on Russia, whose open report the prime minister suppressed for nine months on an entirely bogus pretext, was presented with the clearest evidence that Russia saw no distinction between economic and state interests, and that it used elements of its diaspora in the UK to further its interests." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a shame the Tories never treated Russian business men with the same suspicion. We might not have them in the house of lords if they had. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
