Speaking of the comms, I’m also very surprised to see that Russian cyber hasn’t shut everything off or that they didn’t bother striking communications with cruise missles, etc. They don’t even seem to have gotten air superiority.

The Nlaw and Javalin seem to be doing thier jobs. Also, once a tank is breached it's ammunition stores often go off and when that happens in a confined space the tank cracks open like a can under pressure

The Russians deployed these forces with almost ZERO encrypted tactical comms. Most of the prisoners are carrying Baofang radios. The Ukranians are literally listening to everything the Russians are transmitting all the way up to the Brigade level. Almost all the destroyed or captured vehicles are found to have no tactical communication systems.
The Russians are good at cyber warfare but thier comms appear to have been left behind the logistics tails this time. They are instead open to DFing due to civilian radios and cell phones (that haven't been confiscated by thier commanders)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Kharkiv used to be Kharkhov, where the Germans met their doom.
Thanks for the insight. I know you know what you’re taking about.
This whole escapade seems very poorly executed for a “super power”. Makes you wonder what’s happening behind the scenes in the real Russia when Putin isn’t personally directing things.

Well they may be using anti tank missiles on the AFVs and there may be secondary explosions from ammo on board. I've seen some burnt out hulks and then just piles of parts where the vehicle must have detonated.

The difference between the "i" and the "o" is in the language it's spoken with. It's like Kyiv and Kiev, Kryvyi Rih and Krivoy Rog.
Since independence, the residents have been allowed to utter their cities' names in their native tongue.

Belarus and Ukraine were the settings for huge battles in WW2. Many of the place names have a very familiar ring.

Green Berets with Montagnards.
Tough little guys that suffered hard at the hands of the Communists, after the French and US pulled out of Viet Nam.
I heard whole villages just disappeared.
There were some rumors that they just packed up what they could carry and went into the mountains to become bandits.
Others say they just went to the villages and killed every living thing in them.
Unusual to see them all wearing gators.
