How long does it take for the ground to re-freeze
I've watched west Texas go from mud hole to rock solid in a matter of hours. That was with temps just dropping into the low 20s.

The surface will freeze fast, but if the ground was saturated, it will take quite a while well below freezing to get the ground frozen very deeply. For driving light vehicles,the surface freeze will be fine, but heavier tracked vehicles will break through the frozen surface and sink in the saturated soil below that hasn't frozen yet.Kenneth_2003 said:Jock 07 said:

Depends on the soil moisture content, the ambient temperature and the soil type. Then it depends on how deep the frozen ground goes for tanks and other heavy equip to traverse.
All this to say, it depends. We have an asymmetric advantage compared to the commies due to our Air Force weather capabilities which they clearly cannot match.
Heavy Fighting is being reported tonight in the Eastern Ukrainian city of Sumy which Russian Forces have been struggling to Capture since Day 1, Civilians are being asked to Shelter in their Homes until further notice.

It was just a matter of time… something any invading force should consider once the citizens acquire heavy munitions. You're bringing firepower to a party of two.

DO IT
Is everyone just glancing over the whole submarine thing here? Sounds like a Christmas list you just keep adding to in hopes your parents hit the lottery.
Unless maybe they want to go out on the high seas hunting Russian merchant ships, which would be kinda retro and neat.
Drones
Looking at the Weather Channel, the Polar Vortex isn't that bad. Looks like a period of three days with temps between mid twenties and mid teens. I don't think that is going to help the ruskies that much. Then it's back to freeze at night and thaw during day.
10 Day Forecast for Kyiv
10 Day Forecast for Kyiv
Amphibious assault on Odessa apparently called off as Russian ships have departed in the face of bad weather.
This starting to look like a Bait, Bait, Bait, trap, Kill senerio. Give the Russians little by little, inflict damage while lightly retreating. Cut them off, quietly encircled and engage.
Don't the Chinese have a crap ton of Russian weaponry? I bet they're having second thoughts about invading Taiwan if their equipment is going against the West's.
They have a fair amount, but also a lot of homegrown.
I wonder how long the cities can last and the people that are stuck there. I think the Ukraine army is kicking some serious ass, but anyone that has been "sheltering in place" has to to be really suffering now.

Anyone have today's link to the tactical update those 2 guys do each day? They have some pretty good stuff

"My old commander was a Chechen. One of the best guys I've ever served with. He's actually the only reason I was able to serve and gave me the chance.
It's just strange though to see how quickly public opinion has changed for Russia in Chechnya. Their fathers fought and died against Russia and now their sons are Russians pets.
To be honest when I saw the video of Chechens getting ready to come I was nervous only because of the stories you hear during the first Chechen war where Russians were beheaded for fun or had ears, nose, lips cut off. Now they mean nothing to me. They are no different from a Russian, or Belarusian soldier who decides to come to Ukraine and fight against us because they will all suffer the same fate.
Most of them are already dead by our drones not even a day into entering Ukraine so their reputation has definitely suffered a HARD BLOW. "
- Ukrainian soldier. Invasion of Ukraine. March 1st, 2022.
A photo from the journalist Bogdan Butkevich (h/t @CalibreObscura) included a claim that after two days Ukrainian forces have pushed Russian troops substantially back from Kyiv. It's geolocated to the outskirts of Ivankiv, FAR behind the furthest Russian advance. pic.twitter.com/l6yfJ428qX

Correction-
Most of chinese equipment is old russian stuff or homemade stuff that has been reverse engineered from Russian stuff.
Doesn't matter. Result is the same.
Newly added Russian equipment losses:

1x T-80U (abandoned)
1x T-80BV (captured)
2x T-72B (destroyed)
3x BMP-2 IFV (1x destroyed, 2x captured)
1x 152mm Msta-B howitzer (destroyed)

Full list: https://t.co/QR37xcY8mq
For the cities that will be encircled, have we ever investigated dirigible deliveries of food stuffs?

Reminds me of the scene in Armageddon.
Russian: "Step back, let me fix it!"
American: "You don't know the components!"
Russian: "Russian components, American components. All made in Taiwan!"
It is now 7am and the Sun has Risen on the 9th Day of the Russian Invasion in the Capitol city of Kyiv, and Ukraine continues to Live and Fight on, Glory to Ukraine! 🇺🇦🇺🇦

Have seen a couple reports like this tonight saying the nuclear plant is back under Ukrainian control, will be interesting to see if they turn out to be true https://t.co/TebyyiE5Qw

If you want them shot down by Russians. Russians aren't allowing humanitarian shipments as it is. They turn them away so that they can try and force civilians to take food from them in order to set it up as propaganda, making them look as if they're providing humanitarian aid to victims of Ukrainian aggression.
Distillery could mean anything. Gasoline is a distillation process. Vacuum distillation to be more precise. Isopropyl alcohol has a flash point similar to gasoline.ABATTBQ11 said:Captain Positivity said:
It was in the Kursk region. Russian media said it took place at a distillery in some village.
I'm not sure a distillery would go up like that. Last time I checked, alcohol doesn't explode.
Report was munitions were stored. From the video there were several secondary explosions...
⚡️Zaporizhia nuclear power plant back under Ukrainian control
— Illia Ponomarenko (@IAPonomarenko) March 5, 2022
Wrong emoticon!
It was highly likely an ammo storage area.
The report I saw was Ukrainian citizens, engineers, techs, etc. are running the facility, "control", but Russian trops are patrolling the perimeter.Captain Positivity said:Have seen a couple reports like this tonight saying the nuclear plant is back under Ukrainian control, will be interesting to see if they turn out to be true https://t.co/TebyyiE5Qw

I get a feeling, or hope, the publicly announced aid is just a fraction of what's actually being sent.

FoxNews just had a guest on that is trapped in a now Russian controlled saying that they're raping and murdering women to try to force Ukrainians to respond.
Disgusting animals. No first rate military should see that as acceptable. I know atrocities happen in every military in a war, but if Russia wants to pretend to be a big boy, they need to stop acting like filth.
They did this in World War II as well.
Especially when they got to Germany. This is nothing new for them.
My thought is getting them in under weather and if spotted and dropped by fire, they will fall into the occupied area allowing the occupied (cut off) area access to supplies. it may seem crazy but I'm trying to contemplate solutions to the starvation of cities cut off by the russians (a berlin airlift concept).Rossticus said:MaroonDontRun said:

Understood
Just saw this. Apparently there's more "stuff and things" going on than most realize. Notice the bump helmet 2:41 in and the thumbnail.
