Does it seem like a large number of the Ukranian rifles have suppressors? I havent seen a single one for Russia

That's what happens when your military budget has billions of dollars siphoned off of it for yachts, foreign villas, etc. Lots of upgrades don't happen.

Guess those pro-Russian folks in the SE might be rethinking that idea after the last month.

If they feel that way, best to leave everything in the middle of the night and find someone in the West to surrender to

Many of the women and kids have already been shipped into Russia and had their documentation confiscated.

Honestly probably the most economical thing Russia has at this point, and probably supplied from a ME country

There is probably a camouflaged Ukrainian tractor waiting to pounce on the unmanned truck.

This is the right move in asymmetrical warfare. Mock it if you'd like - but 1M Russians on mopeds would've been more effective than 100k in armor.

Seems like a box of old roofing nails could take care of the convoy quickly and on the cheap.

Exactly, they worked pretty well in Afghanistan, the Middle East and Libya. For a commercial truck, those Toyotas are bad ass.

Not quite tactical really but this is the video that it came from. You can say a lot of things about Vice News, and I do, but their Vice International department has always been top notch. Literally some of the best produced and unbiased stuff you will see from American media. As weird as it is to say from Vice. They continue to show the suffering of the people. It's heart wrenching.

If anyone is interested this is from Irpin a few days ago and where that screenshot was from.

It's a sign of desperation and shortage of equipment and trained personnel. This war is wholly different than what has occurred in the ME. Those things will get shredded from the jump unless they plan to use them for terrorizing civilians or straggling light infantry.

I wouldn't want to put my head up as a Russian soldier there just yet.

Not sure what the mission was but they didn't quite make it.

Oh, agreed on the draining of resources side. Just saying - the Marine Corps downgraded from tanks. Mud. Maintenance. Terrain limitations. Expense. Consumption. Asymmetry concerns. SpecOps get called badasses for rocking civilian trucks and dune buggies.

I have great love for Oshkosh vehicles, but if you know that using those MRAPS and Armadillo 7-Tons will cannalize you into an IED laden ambush: you lighten up and go around.
Maybe that's an unarmored vehicle. Maybe it's a foot patrol. Maybe it's jacking a civilian vehicle. Maybe it's hoping over in a helo.

We've been laughing at how much armor Russia has been losing - let's all agree that armor isn't going to do it for them here. Whether it's desperation or intelligence - I'd be much happier in a fleet of bongo trucks bouncing across fields than getting my slow convoy shape-charged on a road as I'm forced through obvious choke points.

I'd say more likely the perimeter is so small that the Russians can't use indirect fire so the major shelling has stopped and the defenders either decided to try to slip out and try to escape and fight another day or have gone underground…literally.

Actually, in a war of attrition, assuming the value Putin puts on his conscript's lives, these may be cheaper than the shells UKR will use to blow them up.

Although, UKR isn't paying for the most of its expensive ammo.
