On February 26, social networks users filmed a convoy of at least 10 PAZ ambulances of the Russian Armed Forces in Gomel. The video shows stretchers on two levels placed inside the buses.

Instructions on resistance tactics from Ukraine’s Ground Force:
— Tat Atfender 🇺🇦🇨🇦🇫🇷🇺🇸 (@TatAtfender) February 26, 2022
target fuel tracks; block movement with trees, etc.; dig around settlements; shoot the wheels; remove road signs; destroy the enemy’s markings; burn tires, hay if the enemy approaches pic.twitter.com/s0Q1wMYnM6
Looks like Ukrainians have arrived to the same concluded we did: target the supply lines/fuel trucks. Dig around settlements? Guess the old ways are the best ways sometimes.

That's a lot of armor to keep fueled.
It's bold strategy Cotton, let's see how it works out for him.
Zero infantry support. They're going to get lit up by Uke mobile anti-armor.
It wouldn't surprise me if this was the case. A mixture of tank, BMP/BTR, and some variant of artillery is what I was thinking. Straight armor seems like an exercise in futility.
If Ukraine has well placed tank killers just waiting to ambush then this would be ugly if Russia just tries to roll on into town. I hope they are well positioned to do that.
Rosstafari said:Polaris75 said:

They had a plan. It was just a rigid plan they've refused to deviate from that was predicated on poor intel, unrealistic assumptions, and insufficient logistical support. That could be argued to be worse than no plan.

Russians brought a mobile crematorium with them to dispose of KIAs so the real number of their dead will
never be known.

Do we just donate the Javelin missiles or do we have special advisors on the ground to assist the UA with training and use? I wonder if we have special forces on the ground in Ukraine.
U.S. officials also said that Russia hasn't taken over any Ukrainian cities. https://t.co/Efj2oLlK0S

Macron talking nukes with Belarus.
Quote:
In a phone conversation Saturday, Macron denounced "the gravity of a decision that would authorize Russia to deploy nuclear arms on Belarus soil," a statement by the presidential palace said.
Macron told Alexander Lukashenko that fraternity between the people of Belarus and Ukraine should lead Belarus to "refuse to be a vassal and an accomplice to Russia in the war against Ukraine," the statement said.
He's essentially asking Lukashenko to cut off his lifeline and hang himself. But it would royally piss off Putin, so there's that.
Only the v2 satellites have the laser link and they may or may not be operational yet.nortex97 said:The starlink satellites have laser data links between each other in space. It's not about the satellite having a direct line of access to the ground station, but a (daisy chain) connection to the sats in near it that…then do.lb3 said:Starlink must have a base station within view to downlink the data back to the internet. Best I can tell after a short review is that the nearest ground station is in Wola Krobowska, Poland. I'm not sure how much of Ukraine can be covered with that ground station.hunter2012 said:It means for those that have a signal from those terminals will not need wired internet to remain connected. Basically the Russians will not be able to cut of their communications by cutting lines.

When all this is over and the inventory of stores are taken, Ukraine will need to replace a lot of equipment. It will be interesting to see what they choose.

Would be foolish to think that someone US, Poland, or Canada doesn't have a SOF group on the ground. Probably CIA SAD and or CIA contractors.
I think you are right, on the V2. We had a better map that showed some interlinks live, but I forget where it was on the spacex thread. Here is one. I find it unlikely they can't provide full coverage at least thru Kiev.

***Bold statement warning***
Russia has lost this war…
Even if they take Kyiv, they've still lost…
They've shown they are a weak adversary (at least in terms of conventional warfare)…
They've alienated themselves from just about every country on the planet…
They are going to suffer massive financial hardships…
They've lost relatively substantial numbers of troops and equipment…
They've been stonewalled and embarrassed by a seemingly inferior force, and all of the world got to see it first hand…
Putin has been made a fool of by a dude who used to be a comedic TV actor…
Putin's own people are disgusted and willing to risk arrest (or worse) letting him know they ain't happy with him…
This was a monumental Charlie Foxtrot which will have lasting repercussions for years to come, leaving Russia essentially marginalized…

Time for some updated maps since I came across them. Ukrainians continue to hold up Russians at city centers. Donbas region is still at the same lines it was pre-invasion (this has to really piss of Putin). Mariupol is looking like it will likely be facing fighting from the east and west soon.

Everything you said is true….but the game isn't over yet. Ultimately this will also be judged by how it ends, and Putin is nothing if not determined and prideful.

You're right. From the way things keep unfolding its obvious Putin's macho bravado isn't that much of a threat if a country like Ukraine can be this difficult. The stink of this is going to last for years after he's gone.

Russians win on their own turf at the cost of wiping out nearly a generation of military aged men.

crazy thought, what would a couple dozen drone strikes ocer the Kremlin do in terms of the russians mental might, cant just ait here and play defense all day
Per the AP and Macron, Minsk has green lit Moscow to station Nukes in Belarus.
Probably not a big tactical update as Russian nukes could strike all of Ukraine from Russia. But definitely a huge escalation in terms of saber rattling.
