True but by now the Russian troops are currently pretty static and at a guess, most of what could usefully be used has probably already been stolen. There may not be that much left to 'aquire'The Russians will steal whatever provisions and winter clothing they want from the locals.
Interestingly, during the Second World War, Germans would take the winter boots off of dead Russians. In 1941-45 the Russians understood winter kit, whilst the invaders, expecting a short war did not. Seems the roles have reversed.Not surprised at all about not being equipped for winter operations. The Russians never learn. I had Russian soldiers trying to trade me for my winter boots and buy them winter boots because they only summer issue in Kosovo.
Damn, these guys are screwed. It reminds me of stories of Russians troops heading to the front lines in 1914-1917 with nothing but farm tools.according to freshly revealed news some of freshly conscripted man has been send directly to the frontline....
No one owes anyone their attention nor a reply.
That said, I have not suggested that such theft will be effective, only that like most invaders they will try to live off the land through theft and pillaging, to the detriment of the locals.
Love Roger's early music, his politics have cost him a lot. Some of his later output is unlistenable because of it. Some musicians have such a huge platform they can't ignore.Roger Waters concerts canceled in Poland – DW – 09/25/2022
Roger Waters' concerts in Poland have been canceled after he commented on the war in Ukraine. Krakow City Council has said it will discuss declaring the Pink Floyd musician "persona non grata."www.dw.com
i think reality of ru army is even more screwed - i don't think they have any program of training combat medics at all and medical training of soldiers (first aid) is none as well, which perfectly corresponding to first aid kits condition they are issuing - lucky ones have kits but all are older than 30 years - manufactured during bright times of SU existenceDamn, these guys are screwed. It reminds me of stories of Russians troops heading to the front lines in 1914-1917 with nothing but farm tools.
By December, 1914, the Russian Army had 6,553,000 men. However, they only had 4,652,000 rifles. "Untrained troops were ordered into battle without adequate arms or ammunition. And because the Russian Army had about one surgeon for every 10,000 men, many wounded of its soldiers died from wounds that would have been treated on the Western Front. With medical staff spread out across a 500 mile front, the likelihood of any Russian soldier receiving any medical treatment was close to zero". (12) Russia and the First World War
Good point above about combat medics. I expect the Russians today, and especially the separatists are short on those in Ukraine.
Great stuff!"For his part, Zaluzhny is girding for a long and bloody slog. "Knowing what I know firsthand about the Russians, our victory will not be final," he told TIME. "Our victory will be an opportunity to take a breath and prepare for the next war."
