Lots of high end kit on those Ukrainian soldiers. If that’s genuine, those boys have spent some time with USA/U.K. SF types.

Beat me to it. IR recognition patches on their modular ballistic helmets and all sort of tasty optics.

The contrast between the UA forces and the dregs of Russian society is very marked.

Yeah, that looks like a training exercises that's been filmed.
Watched that BMP surrender earlier, the drills and absolute professionalism of the Ukrainian soldiers was absolutely on point! All the training and experience they are getting really shows! I hope their instructors see this knowing that their efforts are getting put to outstanding use.
That moment when the guy searching the driver slung his rifle round his back... I felt that... Anyone who has had to sling round the back when carrying out actions like that will know that utter frustration

Depending who you listen to, UA units have been receiving extensive training from NATO forces for years.

One thing that is very noticeable is they all have some type of glass on their weapons, when you see the Russians the majority only have the iron sights.

You see Russians with black polymer stocked AKs and optics, they’ll be Spetznaz.
Or very special operation.

A serious case of "so what", nuclear capable submarines are at sea frequently / continuously, its the entire point of having them.
Russia has the nuclear triad, the above is pointless scaremongering.

talking about scaremongering, is it only me who thinks the soviet/russian thread have been overexaggerated during the cold war? It suited the military/industrial complex nicely, didnt it?

You can bet a US hunter-killer sub is not very far behind it.
Yeah I'm not sure what the story is. Subs go to sea, subs go to port - it's kind of what they do isn't it.
