  1. Guns down, hands up.

  2.  @6oevu4ok  It'd be safer for everyone if the Russians just stayed home.

  3. It's a good thing that Russia has demonstrated a lack of sophistication across the board.

  4.  @dylanhealy8126  At least both armies know how to say "I surrender" in this war.

  5. Putin's War has done more damage to Russia than NATO would have.

  6. Sometimes there are real men who step up. Glory to Canada! Oops, I mean Canadians!

  7.  @martinstephens4633  Yes. I have experienced the concussive effect of an explosion (not in a war) I stood, walked etc. But I did not know who I was, where I was, or what I was for about 30 seconds. (I am told it was that long before I was alert.) In movies, you have seen this depicted as the sound being shut off and slow motion.

  8.  @GameDiaries2014  It was. No Russian invasion = no destruction.
    2
  9. It almost makes you wonder who the human targets were that are seen running about the range, is this how Russia executes criminals or is it just "extra realistic" training?

  10. As the age of the tank fades, like the age of the battleship did long ago.
    2
  11. As the "English understatement" I once heard went: "It was Very, very....less-than-satisfactory."
    2
  12. That's just how it is when someone invades your country and levels its cities over a "territorial dispute". If you invade MY home, that territory will be HOTLY disputed.

  13. Russian armor does not have the numbers that they had two weeks ago.
    2
  14. I think Putin will be retiring for health reasons pretty soon.
    2
  15. We sent a strongly worded protest.
    2
  16.  @thabomuso2575  I know that MY vehicle would suffer a breakdown way in the rear area.
    2
  17.  @foxitt2266  Russia is bringing in trainloads of civilian trucks. Someone in logistics really dropped the ball.

  18. Americans don't use our troops as cannon fodder. The US does move behind a wall of artillery shells so that more of our sons can come home. It works. Every war is ugly and brutal.

  19. In an ideal world.

  20. Their sales of this system are going to be great going forward.

  21. Our young men are not the same sort that did D-Day; I'm guessing that these are not the same sort that did Stalingrad.

  22. Putin can take Ukraine, but will never have the power to hold it.
    1
  23. That's how it is done. Heroes give their lives for THEIR country. Villains die for their orders.

  24. Insurgents? Do you mean the soldiers of the invaded country fighting on the front lines? General Zhukov's "Insurgents" fought pretty hard in this same area.

  25.  @xx_mysticwolf_xx1492  Those are the targets that I would prefer. Why pick a fight with a battalion sized column?
    1
  26.  @miriamweller812  Stragglers never exist in the Russian army Well, not for long.
    1
  27.  @tk9839  The survivor of that recon platoon, trying to get back.

  28.  @italixgaming915  Imagine being that one tank that has a malfunction, but the LT says, "we must reach objective x by 11:00 Catch up if you can, or we'll pick you up on the way back." Perhaps a western army might do it differently, but the Russian army leaves little discretion to the lower commanders. This explains a LOT of vehicles being abandoned as well as stragglers. I wouldn't stay with a bomb magnet.

  29. The entire Russian war machine grows weaker by the day. Ukraine is doing the whole world a solid.
    1
  30.  @jamesdavis8731  The Russian emperor has no clothes.
    1
  31. Those deaths are a tragedy. Putin should have kept them at home.
    1
  32. The world should quake in fear. It's almost like a rogue regiment might invade a neighboring country and lay waste to its cities. Oh wait.

  33. When your "victory" leaves you worse off than when you started.
    1
  34. The lack of bike trails was chilling.
    1
  35. Well, to be pedantic, they kind of do have AKs; but your meaning comes through. They need to make some IED's though.
    1
  36. Sometimes you get lucky; sometimes they get lucky. But if they wanted to go South, and you made them go Southeast, you interfered with their plans, and it helps.

  37. It possible that many think it is a propaganda boogieman. For a while.
    1
  38.  @ceessneek9242  Always recycle.

  39. Sort of. The Afghan "army" got the country that they really wanted (they voted literally with their feet), and the Ukrainians are trying to have the country that they want.

  40. Pressure wave concussion as the shock wave passes through your brain, shuts everything down for a moment. It CAN kill you without a mark on you.

  41. Russia is a world power but not a superpower, and by the end of this conflict they may just be another nuclear armed backwater.
    1
  42. Historically, soldiers have shown reluctance to shoot enemy soldiers; the more the enemy is like them, the greater the reluctance. Soldiers will shoot at "targets": Tanks, Planes etc. with more ease. Rarely have soldiers been obliged to risk so much to accomplish so little.

  43. IKR. I got too old, and have to watch in horror from safety.

  44. Russia might "win" a pyrrhic victory from which they can never recover.
    1
  45. The age of the tank, now a tad over a century old, is coming to a close.

  46. Made you click!

  47. It looks like an arms industry sales video. Often that is the best footage available of a given weapons system.

  48. How Russia became a client-state of China with one small war.
    1
  49. That has almost always been true of war. Pretty much everyone fighting would rather be doing something else.

  50. Define "easily"
    1
  51. Putin called; he wants the USSR back.
    1
  52. Company sized retrograde maneuvers.
    1
  53. They are showing up at the front in increasing numbers, Ukraine has some logistical problems also.
    1
  54. They have, and most importantly, "made you click!"

  55. Quantity has a quality of its own. - Stalin

  56. You defend with what you brought, they attack with what they brought, the dice are rolled. I'd rather be lucky than good.
    1
  57. It has always been so. Most soldiers must go where sent and do as told. War is tragedy on every level, from continents to individuals.

  58. "Russian patrol just chilling" - better
    1
  59. At this point, even if Russia "wins" control over the rubble, their position in the world has diminished for a generation.

  60. They used to say: "If you can see the cannonball, it's the last thing you'll see."

  61. Burned steel rusts fast

  62. 18-20, the survivors may learn to shave.

  63.  @seamusoflatcap  It can be less than a year if you are shipped home in a box.

  64. It's easier when hitting artillery, they are well behind enemy lines and your artillery is NOT behind enemy lines. Tanks can be tricky.

  65. When the pawns refuse to be sacrificed.
    1
  66. It looks like a Russian meth lab is gone.
    1
  67. The only thing missing is Russian heads on poles.
    1
  68. The 21st Century will see the end of tank warfare, like the 20th saw the demise of the Battleship. Soon, very soon.
    1
  69. The world now sees that the Russian military is the JV team.
    1
  70. Russia controls ENORMOUS areas of fields and farms and abandoned villages. Some larger than US smaller states. Russia has demonstrated their ability to seize vast uncontested real estate. HUGE empty space. We must alert the media.
    1
  71. It's their tanks that all have a built in tea kettle.
    1
  72. Putin puppet. The Easter Bunny did it.
    1
  73. Nothing stimulates technology as well as "trying to not be killed".
    1
  74. They do have that option; White flags, get out, raise hands. These have opted to "receive".
    1
  75. Yes. A lot of Americans opposed both invasions, but at least the US was not afraid to tell us that we were invading. Nothing makes this invasion right.
    1
  76. Giving Ukraine enough to fight but not enough to win is cruel.
    1
  77. Mud. And these are many of the same roads from WW2.
    1
  78. They are hammers, designed and built to hit Russian nails.
    1
  79. Just release those Migs from Poland and let the Ukrainians handle their own airspace.
    1
  80. Nothing quite says "I am mighty" like reducing cities to rubble because you cannot get in by force of arms.
    1
  81.  @michallasan3695  Putin has done very well for himself.
    1
  82. Troops that shoot those should be tried as war criminals if caught. They have the power to cause a "malfunction" if they choose.
    1
  83. Nothing quite says: "My army is strong." quite like leveling a city with bombs or nukes. Win or lose, Russia will never recover its reputation as a military power.
    1
  84. "Elected' is such a poorly defined term in this century.
    1
  85. Ukraine was turning out lights.
    1
  86. Their stats are changing every day. Win or lose, Russia will never recover the image that they had projected for generations.
    1
  87. Literally
    1
  88.  @miker9082  Is Putin conscripting dissenters and sentencing them to "death by Ukranian" to get rid of undesirables.?
    1
  89. It was likely part of a unit that lacked enough fuel to return, they pooled the remaining fuel and left in what they could drive.
    1
  90. Someone should airlift diapers to those poor Russian troops.
    1
  91. When peaceful people are forced to do violence to save themselves, they should be VERY violent. There is no joy in it, but determination. Cruel dictators unleash the tools of war. To break the dictator, you must first break the tools. Russia is supposed to know that it works like this, they had to do it to Germany.
    1
  92. And if "Winning" means controlling a wasteland, murdering millions, erasing half of Russia's conventional forces and crushing its own economy for a generation, one must ask: "Why?"
    1
  93.  @MBJanus  In some areas, curiously, the Russian destruction of 5G networks rendered their secure comms inoperable. Whomever designed that system should be shot.
    1
  94.  @MouseDestruction  Isn't that special.
    1
  95. It was likely part of a unit that lacked enough fuel to return, they pooled the remaining fuel and left in what they could drive.

  96. Nothing in the human experience is more wasteful of lives and resources than war. It is a mystery to me why we have always done it.
    1
  97. The average soldier in a war would usually rather be doing something else, but you do what you gotta do. War is tragedy.
    1
  98. So, one madman with a global suicide vest may kill us all? We've been expecting it for a long, long time. Humans did have a good run though.

  99. Putin's mind is suck in old-world-think.
