Let's hope Putin is a bit more careful where he drops those bombs.i hope the visit to Kyiv of the Prime Ministers of Poland, Czech Republic and Slovenia doesn’t need moving to the « mistakes of the west » thread
I’m sure all solidarity helps

Things are different now. The Russians are critically short of competent infantry. That's why their unsupported tanks are being chewed up in Ukrainian anti armour ambushes.
Ukraine Is Becoming A Giant Graveyard for Russian Tanks
Three weeks after launching its unprovoked invasion of Ukraine, Russia is beginning to look like a paper tiger militarily.

That's also why foreign fighters from Syria are being recruited to act as Russian infantry. Not sure how well these guys understand combined arms operations though.

The increased levels of anti aircraft missiles including Starstreak should now be reaching the Ukrainian military. We need to do more still. In order to push the Russians back Ukraine needs more artillery and heavy weapons.

Wars use vast amounts of equipment. More equipment has been sent to Ukraine than Israel in the Yom Kippur war. Much more needs to be done. The USA has voted for an adequate amount of money to support the war effort for now. Air to air tankers have been circling and refueling aircraft directly over us for days now.

Mildly interesting that this was being discussed on the Ides of March

There's a battle of logistics going on just now. Putin is raiding the Pacific fleet for personnel and using Russian national guard as infantry. Ukraine is mobilising it's population and getting an inexhaustible supply of high quality weapons from the alliance.

Possible but unlikely, certainly not the case with ATMs and SAMs - Russian wouldn't have anything else left tin Ukraine to take out if it was the case.I thought he said yesterday, that they were using what was sent in a week, in a day
Then again, I'd use anything to take out a bunker that was shooting at me...
Russian Tanks Have Weird ‘Cage Armor’ (It Means Putin Is Desperate)
Russian tanks have adopted an odd characteristic on the battlefields of Ukraine. They built metal cages over the turrets of their tanks.

Strange comments given the wars a long way off being won. Makes you wonder if there's plans afoot. If I were Putin I'd be checking my tea and adding another 10ft to my table!

There are reports that Russian forces have "special squads" following the regular army performing a function similar to Political Commissars and NKVD Barrier troops in the old Red Army.

Your aim is about as bad as Russian artillery @Henarar is in Somerset
Also reported that they have mobile crematoriums, to minimise the body bags going back to Russia.

Surely even the Russian regime cant simply pass off 'disappeared' soldiers. Their families back home for starters..
I cant believe this, smacks of Daily Mail type reporting.
Having a number of Russian journos resign must be noticed as well...

“crematoriums” makes it sound rather nicer than I imagine ... me, thinking more incinerators

WW3 just got an awful lot closer, best not to plan or pay for holidays to far in advance!
