Or is this much more on Russia failing? These are not mutually exclusive and it's impossible to give any relative weighting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CitizenVectron Posted February 26, 2022 Author Share Posted February 26, 2022 For anyone curious of the spaces involved here: Ukraine is a large country by European standards (the largest, excluding Russia), but is still relatively compact. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricofoley Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 Reporting in an active warzone is several orders of magnitude more important than anything I ever did while a college student and should basically auto-graduate you through anything. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are putting shredded styrofoam into each bottle so that the fuel becomes a gel when it ignites, sticking to vehicles and soldiers. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After my first year at West Point, one of my roommates took his summer break to fight a revolution in Africa (his home country). My summer was quite uneventful in comparison to his. He was literally a lieutenant colonel in his country's military and had to come back to the Academy as a third class cadet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CayceG Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 This is an incredibly revealing thread from someone who is analyzing the performance of the Russian military so far. It's... a nearly comprehensive disaster. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CitizenVectron Posted February 26, 2022 Author Share Posted February 26, 2022 Ukraine listening to @Commissar SFLUFAN again and playing psych warfare. By "allowing" them to call home, the word of invasion/failure/reality can be spread in Russia, bypassing the state-run media. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mclumber1 Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 CNN is reporting that a dam has been destroyed by Russia north of Kyiv. Possibly this one? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mclumber1 Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 The dam holds back about 12 meters of water in the reservoir, and if it was released quick enough in a breach of the dam, that would probably flood out large portions of the city.

CayceG Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 I chose not to post that pic. I don't know its provenance yet. And I'm skeptical because that seems INCREDIBLY FOOLHARDY to parachute in troops directly over an urban area. EDIT: Ukrainian authorities are saying it's basically flak. Not sure I believe THAT either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
