  1.  @pauline3775  MUD, they will lose tanks, APC's etc, the mud in Northern Ukraine after the thaw starts is death to heavy vehicles, they are in most cases trapped on the roads

  3.  @wesfudge  That is why the only real Russian gains have been in the drier South. Mud season there is a nightmare for a invading army.

  4. Western nations have been training Ukrainian regular army, special forces, Guard and SWAT teams since 2014. The guys we have been training the last few months are new recruits that Ukraine does not have the time to train under current circumstances.

  5. We have had joint training with Ukraine for 8 years and over 5000 Ukrainians served in Afghanistan and Iraq, not to mention 8 years of on and off war with the Russian backed separatists and mercs

  6. Canadian, US, UK and Polish military have been training Ukrainian military since 2014 including Western Special Forces training Ukrainian SOF units including Ukrainian version of police SWAT units like KORD. You can see even in the early days of the war that units like KORD were highly trained top notch units who follow Western military doctrine. Watching videos of so called "elite" units of the Russian forces like their Airborne units has been painful to watch, the fact Russia let the world see self filmed video of how untrained these "elite" units were in comparison to even standard Western units is shocking, it shows how out of touch Russia was about how far behind the West they really are.

  11. Azerbaijan does not give a crap or its protector Turkey, the Azeris used nerve gas against the Armenians in the first NK war.

  12. My understanding is there were two Russian warships, their last words "Russian warship F*ck off" when ordered to surrender, these Patriots died fighting to the last man.

  13. 5 Russian Battalions 200-300 men tried to take a town near Kiev and were pushed back by Ukrainian defenders, reportedly the Russians suffered heavy losses in the urban combat.

  14. Actually West has been training Ukrainian military since 2014, all we are doing now is training new recruits

  15. Interesting this "SWAT" team in Ukraine uses AR's instead of AK's

  16. Why this constant BS about closing in from all sides, they have been stopped on all fronts from advancing, some cities even recaptured, the only Russian advance is from the North, a lot of the action in Kiev is a combination of isolated airborne units and sabotage units that came in days or weeks before the attack dressed as civilians.

  17. Hijacked is your best bet, Russia sent in troops days before the attack or longer dressed as civilians or as Ukrainian troops to create chaos and attack behind the lines. I believe posing as your opponent in uniform like that is a automatic hanging offense.

  18. Russia's best and brightest

  19. Hopefully they are alive to come back or not in some Russian camp in Siberia, Russia took 90,000 civilians just from Mariupol alone.

  20.  @rayzas4885  Where? I have seem hundreds of videos at this point and seen maybe one like that

  21. It was a logical error, all evidence pointed to all of them being dead after the naval shelling and in addition initial statements by Russia regarding numbers captured were false so it was safe to assume Russia was lying entirely. From my understanding at least 3 are unaccounted for in the photos and presumed dead or seriously injured.
