Agree the long term strategy will be the key for this conflict as well as future invasions / wars. They will also need to be able to stand on their own two feet, so hopefully when this current conflict ends, the US and others will not want their equipment back.

Look at Afghanistan, you got to wonder did the US train the Afghan army well? or did they just bend over to the Taliban? or in principle they agreed with the Taliban ideologies and were happy when the US left and things went back to how they were.

It is simply a different country, different people, different culture and a different war.

For Afghani's, the training culture might not have fit them at all. Meanwhile we hear about the Ukrainians as being extremely motivated and learning things faster than a normal soldier would.

Agree but Pemalite is right, eventually they will need to have their own dedicated training for long term sustainability. 

Afghan I fear for their women. They were protesting yesterday about the changes and it didn't go down to well. Sadly i think in that culture just easier to own a slave then be in an equal relationship.

Holy shit these dudes are fucking dumb.

And in an ironic twist, with all the stuff Russia’s forces say about Azov, the same would be true for Wagner forces as a known mercenary organisation.

Cruel and stupid often go hand in hand.

Driven a bushmaster before in the outback. They are an extremely tough car.

Hoping we send more equipment over, it would be a good excuse to invest in new technology domestically to replace donated equipment and vehicles to Ukraine, especially as China starts to throw it's weight in the Pacific.

Everyone who knows Russian dashcam videos or "fail" videos can only laugh about that. He really believes Russia is a leading country? I mean, Russia has a lot of culture and all from the history but that country just went downhill.

I'm glad Russians are starting to feel the heat now. I just wonder if this will weaken support for the operation war or cause them to rally around the flag.

Black Sea fleets headquarter got hit by a drone. Supposedly shot down before it crashed in the building but that probably doesn't help them to sleep better haha

The drone is available for 6.5k at Alibaba right now ?

"Strong" words from people of a country killing civilians including children on a daily basis in Ukraine.
