Welcome back.The problem of not being able to edit my posts on this thread has gone away.
I'm going with incompetence.I'd read the same thing at ISW. They're either trying to deny credit to the Ukrainians, or massively incompetent in the field ... or the guy's lying through his teeth.
Were these officer casualties?An interesting statement from the Sky News update given by Sean Bean. He quotes the Russian leader in the Donestk Region reporting that up to 60% of his losses were due to friendly fire.
accordingly to publicly revealed information Polish budget covered 70% of Starlink terminals purchased for Ukraine as well majority of monthly fees - i'm very sorry that we have no alternative source - i don't think sponsoring person with substandard morality like Mr. Musk is smart thing to doI believe the Starlink issue was, although possibly triggered by Elon having his feelings hurt, more of a push to get the US Govt to pay more.
Firstly, he wrongly claimed it was all coming from his/SpaceX's pockets but the reality was quite different:
Fact Checking Claims That the U.S. Government Paid for Starlink Systems for Ukraine
The government has paid for some, but not all, of the terminals delivered.thedispatch.com
Musk's SpaceX says it can no longer pay for critical satellite services in Ukraine, asks Pentagon to pick up the tab
Then the Pentagon called his bluff saying they could look to others to support it and thus award contracts accordingly...to which Elon then backed down but still tried to sound like the poor victim/hero:
Quite pathetic really!
Can I add incompetent leadershipI'm going with incompetence.
1. Incompetence sank the Mockba, not the AFU. Probable culprit, smoking near the magazines during a storm.
3. Saky Airbase, probable culprit, improperly disposed cigarette.
C. Multiple friendly fire accounts. Probable culprit, incapable of maintaining artillery (replacing of gun barrels), incessant cigarette breaks near ammo dumps.
I rest my case.
To be fair not all Russians are incompetent.
Here is one Russian soldier who didn't panic and lived because of it.
Although it should be noted that he did not "catch" the bombs. Just picked them up after they failed to explode on impact (with his web gear?).
Take it, take itThe Astros have sent an offer for him to play center-field.
We don't know who he is. Maybe he's a moral chap caught up in conscription, hiding away from his unit, and just waiting to surrender to the first AFU he sees.The sad thing is that the little bastard is still here.
