MP_MFC Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 I think I picked up there that the Anglo Saxons sabotaged the pipeline. His ramblings are incredible here, the translator must be questioning his life choices. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael W Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 I always think a ceasefire is a great idea when you invade a country and annex part of it. The bullets being fired back at you for doing so are just so annoying. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dorlomin Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Novorossiya This is what he is banging on about. Catherine the Great took some of these lands from the Ottomans in the late 18th century. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICTChris Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 Nobody seems to know how many Russian soldiers are in Lyman - I've seen some reports say 2,000, other say 5,500. Apparently the split is between LNR mobilised personnel, BARS troops (Russia's newly formed reserves who were mobilised immediately upon the invasion) and the 752nd Guards Motorised Rifle Regiment. The 752nd were surrounded and almost entirely destroyed by the Chechen rebels in 1995 during the initial Russian assault on Grozny. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 Zelenskiy's response to Putin's phoney offer of peace talks.. Quote Ukraine was and remains a leader in negotiation efforts. It was our state that always offered Russia to reach an agreement on coexistence on equal, honest, decent and fair terms. It is obvious that this is impossible with this Russian president. He does not know what dignity and honesty are. Therefore, we are ready for a dialogue with Russia, but already with another president of Russia. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dorlomin Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 Story doing the rounds is the mobiks are not even getting dog tags. Dont know how widespread that is but it means if they fall in combat, their corpse will be unidentified unless its recovered on the spot. If they do not have proper footwear and proper training they will be hit hard by trenchfoot once they start working in the mud. Some might know trench foot as the wrinkled skin you get when you soak your feet or hands in a bath for a while. But if it keeps wet over days in the cold then the skin starts dying and you get infections, ulcers, blisters and without treatment gangrene can set in. The NCOs are supposed to be pretty strict on making sure soldiers keep changing socks, keep their feet dry and perform daily inspections, some might have seen this in Full Metal Jacket. Thing is the staggering state of the Russian army and this may not happen with the reservists. Being stuck in cold wet trenches will make them vulnerable to hypothermia. Good military grade clothing should prevent this, unless you become soaked and are unable to dry. As temperatures drop below zero, the water freezes up so the wet is no longer a problem but then extremities like noses, eye lids, finger tips etc become vulnerable to frostbite. These should not be problems for a modern army. But the mobik volksstrum look more a rabble than an army. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
