Will be interesting to know the costs and how Russia intends to fund this... They will likely be more combat effective due to better experience and equipment too.. Could get interesting.

Just a bunch of Nazi thugs who do Putin's dirty work for him fighting mostly ill-equipped and weaker enemies, have to remember that Ukraine's military is battle hardened too after years and years of constant fighting, we'll see how Wagner fares against a proper military force, they already failed to assassinate Zelenskyy earlier in the war too and got slaughtered.

I watched a video of some ukraine soldiers makeing use of what others commented on as a "shoot and scoot" (hit and run), or "kiteing" in gamer terms.
They would lay low, make use of drones to get a birds eye view, get coordinates (lazers? gps?), run in a small team of 4-5 people, carrying parts of a "reuseable laucher", deploy it (its like a little stand, that then gets 4-5 parts added ontop, and loaded with a rocket), and basically as soon as it was fired, they where pulling it apart, carrying their parts (each guy takes care of their part) and then running off, even before the missle even lands (and usually hits).

Apparently, these guys just keep doing things like this, you can hear frustrated russian soldiers fireing at them (their out of range usually) and theres like bush/vegitation in the way (sight issue).

I thought, damn... now I know why the russians are makeing such heavy losses.
These small hit and run teams (with drones, and smart weaponry), and the Guerrilla warfare they make use of, are apparently hard to deal with.... if your soldiers are basically just cannon fodder, just drafted, that are clumped up together in a caravan or such.

As long as Russia keeps trying to absorb Ukraine, their people, their assets, and their economy, they will never have the advantage over Ukranian guerilla warfare. But if Putin just throws his hands up and wants the land, not caring about how many people and structures he destroys, then that advantage goes away and he just starts bombing cities like Hitler.

Can they not decide what looks worse? Russian incompetence or Ukraine having the ability to strike their soil? Lol.

Can never get a straight answer out of Russia.

Fair play if Ukraine did it but Russia accidentally blowing themselves up looks equally as bad, one says that our anti-air defence is shit and Ukraine can strike us and the other says we're fucking idiots.

Why would you ever have 65 TB of data without a backup... When you have the funds to process that much data, surely backing it up is a no-brainer?

Genuinely wonder if they even have the artillery to do that, we've already had reports they're running low on certain missiles and their aiming has been pretty awful, it's awful what is happening in Mariupol but it is one of the smaller cities, Kyiv is huge as is others, Idk though. Another issue is that type of bombing kills civilians far more than soldiers so that doesn't really help Russia when the tanks and such have to roll in afterwards and Ukraine starts blasting them with rockets from the streets, from buildings, etc.

With the state of their equipment, I do wonder what the state of their bombs and missiles are in reserve too, seems Russia doesn't understand maintenance.

Nukes and chemical weapons, yeah, also China has a pact with Ukraine to come to their defence if they were nuclear struck so ain't no chance Russia does that type of attack.

It is exactly that, it's not about defeating the military, killing civilians which is what Russia purposely does is all about breaking spirit and morale, they purposely target the innocents, the women and children to crush the enemies spirit and make them surrender, it's sickening but it doesn't help Russia that much if the enemy doesn't surrender. Look at how after everything, Mariupol is still standing and fighting strong, despite the constant bombardment Russia is still struggling to take it and Mariupol is a smaller port city, the 11th largest city in Ukraine, completely cut off from any support and yet has tied Russia's southern forces down for weeks now.
