  1. Yeah, driverless "drone" APC reached the line. But not Ukrainian troops - quite far still. In about two months Ukraine did not even get to the 1st line of defense. Russia did excellent job so far and Ukraine received huge losses. Come on CNN - show the viral video of Russian tank taking on solo whole UA column and smashing it with help of artillery, mines and one ATGM system.

  2. There are no UA troops close by. Whole area is under Russian control for few miles.

  3. Problem is Russia has huge reserves so they can cut off any Ukrainian units and destroy them. Ukraine lost there war - they are now in desperation mode. If they want the war to last longer they should only defend.

  4.  @rexsceleratorum1632  Yes, Ukraine has very few well trained troops - most are conscripts. Russia has mobiks which are far and wide better than conscripts. I said after just 3 months Ukraine lost the war. Reason is they refused to negotiate. Soviets won the war with Finland - go check it out. All Soviet demands were met. The goal never was to occupy all of Ukraine - what for? To deal with Banderites, no thanks. No one is that stupid. At most regime change. The Nazi are mostly from western Ukraine - and yes, in Kiev. Placing a Jew in "charge" does not exactly de-Nazify them. Most if not all Russian Nazi are in Ukraine fighting for Kiev regime. Russia was indeed de-nazified - which is a good thing.

  5. Yes tank will be towed away by Russians. Yes, Russians will now mine the path Ukrainian APC took. Ukrainians are either stupid to pull this off.

  6.  Soapy1898  Nah it was idiotic - they are not anywhere close to that line - Russians can simply mine the path the APC took. APC may be old but loosing it senselessly is stupid. Maybe if it was loaded with explosives' it would make more sense - but in different terrain - not here and not at the time when friendly troops are miles away.

  7.  Soapy1898  sure, look at Russian use, well thought out. Well executed for the most part. Look at idiotic use by Ukraine. They simply gifted this to the Russians for no benefit at all. Like zero. What path? If Ukraine troops even get that far that path will be mined.

  8. No did not reach it - unmanned APC does not count - they need to reach it with actual soldiers.

  9. It was not a tank but APC. Trench depth can be seen from a drone. What response from Russians? The only thing they could test is for mines - which is dumb as Russians can mine any path now at their leisure. You could test a path like this with kamikaze APC right before you attack. But UA is no where close to attacking.... so maybe indeed driver got lost?

  10. Yeah Russians will tow it away but it feels like this was either an attempt to see what is out there or Russians are correct that APC got lost.

  11. 17 brigades and 63,000 people NATO trained. from which 20k were eliminated after a month or so. As per US. After 1st month or so they lost about 1/3 of NATO supplied equipment. Now probably closer to 50%.

  12.  @springbloom5940  none of these did well. NATO has proven time and time again their training sucks.

  13.  @springbloom5940  LOL, after few years they still proven to suck. What is your excuse now? That it takes them a year to learn how to tie their shoes? Come on.

  14.  @weekendwarrior3420  No. They delivered old APC to Russia. You can clearly see you cannot drive over that vehicle - even if you could it would be very risky & a single point of failure. Besides Russians will remove it in the next few days & may plant some mines in the area.
