      No need to hurry. There’s drones for everybody. And a few artillery shots, compliment of the house.

      Drone warfare + open terrain = certain death. An equation ruzzians obviously have not learnt yet

      Fundamentally, this is becoming sad to watch. The non-value of life that stems from Russian “patriotism” and nationalism is fucking pathetic.

      And to think that most of them volunteered to go kill just for some money…. Bunch of mercenaries.

    4. They still, in the year of our lord 2026, try to advance by walking slowly in a line across a massive open field in broad daylight?!

      It kindof feels like russia is using new troops which have zero battlefield experience and trained for pre-drone warfare. But surely there’s no Pacific garrisons left to send to Ukraine? African mercenaries used to shooting civilians maybe?

      For Russia, the average rate for dead to severe wounded is 1.8/2 to 1. So there is just one wounded on 1.8 (late edit from 1.6) to 2 dead. This rate is unheared of in last centuries. We can see it here, if they find you moving through the landscape through the kill zone, as muli to transport goods to the frontline positions or as infiltrator, you are dead. They will not stop to bomb you by drones or with FPV drones till you are dead. And then one more to be 150% sure.

      Regular in modern warfare it is around 1 to 10 to 1 to 20 for a modern army, minimum 1 to 6. So for every dead, there will be minimum 6, regular 10 to 20 severe wounded. Due to the protective gear and use of armored vehicles, the rate has greatly increased in last decades.

      For Ukraine these are very good numbers, better than 1 to 10 (if I remember correctly: 1 to 14). They are well protected in there fortifications at the frontline, they have more or less only losses (by death) during transfer of troops to the front line positions and back. Transfer of goods and wounded to/from frontline positions is regular done by ground drones.

      Main reason for wounded is by concussion due to near misses by oversized glide bombs.

      Putin lives his countrymen
      He just sends them to a meat grinder and he doesn’t give a crap 💩 about their welfare
      Putin is the man Russians live the most

    7. That….has….got….to….SUCK!!

      Im (selfishly) glad im to old for war. Although I wonder about somebody using them for taking out civilians in my town. Also, im fat now.

      What was the explosives that impacted on the ground and left a bunch of white smoke, I haven’t seen those before?

      That experience has to suck so hard. Open terrain. Nowhere to hide. Soldiers being exploded one by one around you. Fuck all you can do about it.

      I’d almost feel sympathy if I didn’t know who they are why they’re there.

    10. I like how the orcs were supported by heavy equipment in the rear, just in case they decide to retreat.

      My god, these people must know walking through an open field of a kill zone is a certain death and that nothing will be achieved by throwing their life away. It’s not even a sacrifice for ‘the greater good’. Can’t believe how people can be so submissive.

      I know their commanders don’t care at all, but even when regarding your men as disposable tools, how can you squander resources like this.

      Russians

      You can stop this any day you want. This is our country and we will bury every last invader in our fields, but you can always get out of our country and go home. Then you’ll stop having to die.

      It’s been a while to see a platoon size formation moving through an open field.
