Some reports say Russians soldiers were told they were going to liberate Ukraine from Nazis and they were also told they would be welcomed as liberators in Ukraine.

If this is true, then I'm sure they're totally surprised when they get fired at by Ukrainian forces
The soldiers must be dumb because who believes such lies? Well, let's assume it's hearsay

this thread although it says strictly photos and videos has always been a place for discussion wrt to military matters.... People are allowed to air their opinion and others can respond to that...i I'm pretty certain that you sit on your high horse acting like you know better than the rest when in fact you know nothing cool

this will be controversial but IMO as in MY Opinion South African tactics have always been superior than that of the Soviet Union, as was seen during the border war..... Even today the SANDFs problems thankfully aren't due doctrine(Suadi Arabia springs to mind) but simply due to funding and salary vs capital expenditure ratio....our tactics have always revolved around high mobility with minimum logistic and Air cover... Hence why even without air cover our boys have done outstanding in the DRC, CAR and now in Moz
Are you sure SANDF is that capable?? grin

Seems the convoy approaching Kiev got airdefence platforms. I do believe, this might be able to protect the convoy from any "surprise" drone strikes. The initial forces were merely expeditionary forces. This is the main army likely

The mere fact that the convoy was bold enough to form for that length tells a lot about the current state of the Ukrainian air force, artillery and even their special forces.

That it has comfortably progressed this far also means that the Russians were VERY CONFIDENT that nothing would happen to them.

It should also raise questions about the various pieces of Information flying around about who damaged what and what shot down who.

I must admit, this is a war blunder. These Russian generals lining up their troops like they are going to a field exercise needs to be rounded up and face a military court martial.
Even in the era without drones, this convoy can be easily ambushed. Reminds me of the Nigerian civil war. When the Biafran army ambushed over 100 Nigerian army vehicles at Abagana. Reports claim nearly 5,000 Nigerian soldiers under (then) Colonel Murtala Mohammed of the Second Division, Nigerian Army lost their lives.
The vehicles were said to be lined up this way. British reporters before the convoy took of said, "Africa most powerful weapons approaching the heart of Biafra and they Biafrans have no way to stop it". A single short from the rebels explosive hit a fuel tanker and burnt the entire convoy.
My point is, I hope the Russians stop this cowardice. This is a sitting duck for even mortar bombardments! I don't know why they Russians can't make the entire Ukrainian internet blank and disconnected. They are letting troop movement to be exposed. You don't let troop movements to be known to the enemy, that's a recipe for failure.
This war, the way Russians are being captured, makes the Russians look mediocre compared to the Americans. I hope the Russians are only deliberately being soft.
Real piss poor tactics, sending tanks without infantry cover in this time and day and then this.
These guys will be chewed raw if they went this way into Africa and the middle east.

Most powerful non nuclear weapon of Russians is FOAB FAE bomb , one of it will literally wipe out a small town

TOS is a mbrl which fires short range rockets with thermobaric warheads , such systems are common in many countries

Yes it is

all area effect weapons are devastating if targets caught in area of effect

Humans animals die badly with thermobaric or fae weapons , better to get shot

Has always been a Russian weakness, from Czarist times. They compensated by throwing numbers -"quantity is its own quality" - and while that might have been tolerated up till the Soviet dictatorship, I strongly suspect the population would baulk today if tens of thousands of body bags started being shipped home.

You know the answer already grin

We can't harp on fellow African militaries developing their own combat doctrine enough.
Running to the big boys won't do enough.
