1. I hope that is right but seems extremely inflated to me nt

4. That's what I'm thinking too but if it pisses off pooty its worth it. nt

2. There MIGHT be some truth to this, Putler is asking Belarus to send troops (link)

5. Plus he is calling up reservists in Russia. nt

3. I'm not even sure if 100 tanks and 536 APC were destroyed in the first 3 days of Kursk, 1943

And that was the greatest armored battle in history.

6. There are a lot of videos of blown up tanks. Could be mostly accurate. nt

7. I read somewhere that Ukraine's forces are already battle-tested in that eastern region.

They have been in combat for years apparently.

Russia has not.

Troops that have been fighting are typically much more lethal that green troops.

10. I've seen saying this too

Outside of flying bombing sorties and some limited ground deployment of special forces in Syria....the russian military has no combat experience. That's opposed to Ukrainian MIlitary who have been fighting Russian backed seperatists for the past decade.

Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the mouth.

12. I prefer the original "everyone has a plan" quote

Helmuth von Moltke (1800–1891).

“No plan of operations extends with certainty beyond the first encounter with the enemy’s main strength.”

Today, “no plan survives contact with the enemy” is the popular reconfiguration of this concept."

Mike Tyson gets too much credit for that one.

But yes the Russian Military had a plan and the first encounters/contact have f'ed that plan up.

8. I hope this is correct.

Then i went to the Ukraine conflict reddit page, and all the pics and movies of dead Russians and destroyed vehicles and convoys give me hope.

9. Seems inflated to me

But who knows?

[BGBD]

11. Maybe...

But if stories of the Ghost of Kiev are true then that's 6 of the 13 right off. Add in the 2 transports that went down, the helicopter that was destroed on the ground and the one. that went into the drink....that's 10 that I can think of right off.

13. And Putin thought he could just walk in and they would lay down, hah!!!!
