Ukraine war: Leak shows Western special forces on the ground
The UK has the largest contingent of military special forces in Ukraine, according to a leaked file.www.bbc.com
Of course, as "special" as the special forces are, less than a hundred operatives won't change the course of a full-scale invasion. I suspect these teams are providing training in rear areas rather than undertaking active operations (imagine the propaganda coup if one of them were to be captured).
So it seems that Russian Subs are as well maintained as their tanks and small arms... look at the crap usually below the water line.

I like one joke in the comments, it's worth to quote it here:
A Russian battalion was moving through Ukraine when a loud speak came on from behind a hill and said "1 Ukrainian soldier is worth 10 Russians". Angered the Russian commander sent his best 10 soldiers. a small fire fight broke out, when it was over the loud speaker came on again "1 Ukrainian is worth 100 Russians". The Russian commander sent his next 100 best troops. A big fight fight broke out and after a few minutes it all when quiet untill the loud speaker flared up again " 1 Ukrainian is worth 1000 Russians". Absolutely enraged the Russian commander mustered 1000 men and sent them over the hill. All hell broke loose guns and bombs going off explosions, then after a half hour is went quiet. One lone seriously wounded Russian soldier crawled back over the hill and told his commander "don't send any more men. It's a trap there's 2 of them!!!"
Sweet Jesus!!! Whoever coined to term 'Orcs' to describe the Russian so-called Army absolutely hit the nail on the headMore "hearts and minds" work by the Russian military and its proxies:
