    Possibly, or to relieve Black Sea crews to give them time to rest, repair or resupply their ships for action. Russia's navy looks big but then Russia is the largest country in the World and also has the largest coastline 61 000 kilometres which is almost time and half the circumference of the earth.

    Could this be a subtle message and a dig at Putin?:

    It's hard to believe that it's not a fluke, given that the Putin oligarch sycophant Dmitry Rogozin, is the head of Roscosmos. Perhaps it's more of his unstable behavior. Threatening American astronauts and the space station one time and begging NASA for help at another time.

    May be Russians cosmonauts are sending Rogozyn a message. They don't agree with his position. It's hard to believe that they would not be aware that they are wearing the national colours of the Ukraine? All of them at the same time and given the circumstances it looks to me like they are stating their opposition to this war. Hard to believe it's a coincidence!

    Totally agree, two weak American Presidents caused this to unravel quickly. Putin only understands power and firmness.

    I guess the launch director must be in on the protest then because I'm pretty sure they didn't change uniforms in the launch capsule.

    I think that you have to allow for the possibility that Putin and his circle have already decided that they can accept some limited use of nuclear weapons (however misguided that it can be limited). You are right that we should have be heavily arming Ukraine since 2014 invasion of Crimea. The EU part of NATO and Sweden/Finland would never have been on board with that and it's only the wake up shock of Putin's naked aggression that has woken them up from their slumber.

    Apparently the Russians made the same mistake the German High Command made during Unternehmen Barbarossa, they thought it would be a lightning war which would last 2 weeks at the most with the Ukrainians folding and suing for peace. Instead the Ukrainians have inflicted heavy losses on Russian aggressors and thrown their hopes for a quick victory in tatters. Like the Hitler and the OKW planning for a 6weeks campaign against the USSR.

    Post by KurtPanzer Tue Mar 22, 2022 2:13 pm



    Let's not forget the Achilles heel of all armies in the Eastern region....Rasputitsa, The Soviets faced it, the Werhmacht faced it, and now the Russian invaders are facing it. Without being able to maneuver off roads, it is impossible for the Russian Army to encircle anyone. Small teams of Ukrainian anti-tank equipped weapons are wreaking havoc on stalled columns.

    The Germans sevr4ed the same medicine to the Soviets during their advance on Germany in January-April 1945. In Silesia alone the Soviets counted 8700 tanks and 5000 self propelled guns lost to the faustniks ( Germany infantry equipped with panzerfausts).

    From the pictures and videos that I have seen the ground looks solid still , it could be the usual Soviet-Russian heavily rigid command and combat structure which centralises all decisions at the upper echelons and does not leave much operational flexibility to field commanders. The soviets ran into similar problems with the Germans who were trained using the Prussian Auftragstaktiks which give large flexibility at the local level allowing for commanders in the field to act on their own taking into account operational goals and local conditions at the same time. This has made Prussians and successive German armies very efficient in the field. The current Bundeswehr still uses a variant to train its soldiers.

    Russia is paying for its aggression with the blood of its young men:

    Estimates is that for every Russian soldier killed another 2 to 3 have been wounded or are missing. So total casualties could be as many as 45 000 KIA.WIA, MIA.

    To rile the Ruskies, the Ukrainians should christen the current war as the Second Great Patriotic war. This time with Russia playing the role of Germany...

    Well Tanker the Checkists will have experienced the sweet feeling of Russian bombings, terror, devastation and ruins. I suspect their Russophile instincts will have evaporated along with their houses and possessions. Half of Graviteam were Ukrainians the Russians among them I suspect have no more love for Mother Russia these days....
