Bear battalion! Hank the Tank is actually 3 bears

And yes, the link is related. We know that Hank the Tank is raiding homes on orders from Russia. 😄

Yes, but it is neither positive for Russia, nor for Putin and his children nor for us to go deeper and deeper into escalation. In the end, everyone loses.

Putin can stop the escalation any time. We'll stop when he stops.

Yeah. Jackson went Trumpalo and then doubled down when his misconduct came to light.

Were you unable to find any argument lamer than that?

Maybe CNN had a point about the mud.

It appears the Russians just drove into Ukraine  in convoy. No Formations do deal with a meeting engagement or ambush. Limited or no tactical air recon. No spacing between vehicles. Army 101 stuff. No wonder the EU is all in. I read the Swiss are going to take part in sanctions. The Swiss!

The Russians are going to have to up their game or it is a matter of time before individual Nato countries start putting troops in Ukraine "to protect civilians". Then it will be game over for the Russians. 

The Ukrianian defense was inept to allow the massive openings for troops to advance. That is being overlooked by the online twitter brigade. In the real world, if what we are being told is true, the combat of last days has created an impression of massive weakness on the part of the Russian military.

And a lot of other weapons, but I am too lazy to reupload 50+ pictures and will only post most interesting ones.

I didn't look. The man has obvious political and professional axes to grind and so I don't take him seriously.

"Trophy is a trophy"

So far all pics of Osa appear to be Ukrainian ones, including one towed by a burning truck, which on closer examination has Ukrainian military registration plates.

This is a really good channel, he has footage of lots of rare kit abandoned.

Possible explanation of why the heavy lifting is being done by Chechens and the VDV.

In fact judging by the age of some POW'S, at least some must be conscripts, but there may be an attempt to keep numbers low. It would explain the lack of infantry.

It aligns with my earlier thought that Russian formations usually forming one battlegroup of mostly professionals and two with a share of conscripts would explain why only a third of the arrayed BTGs appears to have been deployed so far.

A lot of twatter brigade you trust appears also to have at least 2-3 axes to grind and yet...

Seems the same example of which pictures were posted yesterday. Doesn't have invasion markings, at least, so maybe Ukrainan?

All examples posted yesterday turned to be (most probably) Ukrainian, including one towed by burning truck with Ukrainian military plates (yes, Russian ones are almost same but there is a noticeable difference). They were all at a same location, near Herson bridge.

I don't fully trust them, bojan. That's part of why I listen to you.
