@Seth9809 of the convoy ambush videos I’ve seen, the first one (that we probably all saw first) was a large group of armored vehicles entering a town. It looked like many had pulled over and were idling or parked. To be frank, it looked like how a multi-car road trip would pull into a truck stop so everyone could stretch their legs, use the restrooms, and grab snacks and coffee. If there was a security perimeter, it wasn’t obvious.
Then the shelling starts, and it also looks like there might be an ATGM or two coming in from the side. A handful of vehicles were destroyed, and the rest didi-ed the fuck out of there the way they came. And they maintained spacing. Maybe not 100 or 50 meter spacing, but close to 50 m.
The other three or four that I can remember visually showed the Russian AFVs much better spaced and turrets pointed in different directions. They maintained space.
I think in the first week, the Russians were very sloppy, possibly because they didn’t expect resistance and hadn’t yet encountered it. Remember, in the first week, the Russians advanced rapidly in many areas because the defense hadn’t yet organized to contest the advance.
After 4 months, even if green troops are being poured in, I think the Russians have at least the basics squared away.
