Ah yes the old movies with pale Bri'ish looking pharaohs whipping the poor slaves building pyramids under the cracking whip... also Ancient Greece with white marble statues from 19th century... and Othello in blackface. I mean, modern movies have lots of inaccuracies, often inherited from just copying mistakes done by old films, but let's not pretend historical movies were very accurate at any point in time. There were stand out movies that did the setting justice, notably France Zeffirelli for Shakespeare and Kubrick's stuff like Full Metal Jacket for Vietnam war, and that one weirdo's Alexander had a good battle scene (and wrong everything else). But those are exceptions not the rule.

If you haven't read them yet, I highly suggest Sun Tzu's art of war (it's incredibly short) and Miyamoto Musashi's Book of Five Rings. They are NOT boring tactics manuals or ANYTHING resembling "chivalrous ancient combat", they actually reveal how pragmating combat (group or individual is). For example in 5 rings, the most famous samurai in history tells you to pick the battlefield so the sun shines in your opponent's eyes, and he suggests holding sword with one hand so the other can be used to throw sand, grapple or punch. See, "Bushido" bullcrap wasn't invented yet. While Art of War talks about pretty obvious stuff that's applicable to everything.

@sapphyrus avoiding animal deaths on screen is conscious choice by filmmakers, another option is making extremely fake CGI ones. Reasons are many from animal rights advocates to viewers not wanting to see animals hurt to rating boards getting nervous to most animals (even trained ones), being unable to be directed to act like they're dying. And nobody wants to injure them or get injured by a hoof to your face trying to get them to do something they don't understand. It's one of those suspension of disbelief scenes that you kinda learn to accept if you enjoy the media.

@comraderowen2434 lmao russians and having ridiculous casualty rate because being smart is gay or something, name a better duo. Bakhmut has several towns worth of russian soldiers fertilizing it. And they just charge over the corpses. Killing fields.

It's like people showing Kyiv being calm and screaming fAkE wAr, like, the frontline is far away and it moves. Bakhmut looks like hellscape. But Sloviansk, quite a bit behind it, is mostly intact.

@Garwulf1 Considering we can destroy tanks and radars that cost millions with consumer drones that cost a few thousands, and russians lost over 2000 tanks in one year to the point they had ONE tank left for a parade, tanks hardly made anything redundant. In fact people make claims that tanks are obsolete, but they are wrong too. For offensive campaigns, tanks supported by IFVs are indispensable. We just need more of them.

Our boys had a drone chase one russian soldier and drop like nine bombs at him until he stopped running. That's why we asked for cluster bombs from USA, those small bomblets from them can be strapped onto a quadcopter and dropped on top of them.
