Is it just me, or do the Russian soldiers seem like the ones who are more tired and with lower morale? They have I guess traveled a considerable distance and have been away from friends/family doing their "exercise".

They have spent the last month or two on Exercise in the middle of winter, mostly living off of rations, with limited contact with home. they have then deployed straight out on operations, damn ******* right they will be tired and fed up. Not to mention from whats being reported they had not been fully breifed that they would be waging war with their neighbours.

That has been a continuing theme:
* sent to fight country men they like
* not a real war but an ego war
* long distances, no logistics or plans and left for dead by leader.

I suspect I’d be thing politicians are idiots..

Have they ever had MLAW’s in cod? Like a killstreak bonus?

What exactly are NLAWS, I guess strong against armoured vehicles, do they have automatic target lock on?

Elon Musk tweeted that he’s activated Ukraine starlings and sent kits to Ukraine.

No, but they can hit moving targets by calculating the angular movement and matching it.

When you also consider that a good proportion of Russians don't want the war, and I would imagine a certain percentage of Russian forces actually have family in Ukraine. There's not much they can do out of fear of reprisals, but if they do a half arsed job and stay out of the way then it might give Ukraine a bit of an advantage.

Crazy that Russia still doesn't control the skies, hasn't knocked out all the air defences and the Ukraine SRBM's are still active... their ability to get intel is shockingly bad

Since they can't even stop their own soldiers stealing the fuel from the tanks the intel equipment was probably nicked and sold on the black market.

Steve lookner great on Youtube if you want up to date information he usually goes live 5pm everyday since this war begun.

56 tanks in one column destroyed, surely not?! :eek:

If true what do the Ukrainians have that could do that much damage? Drones?

LoS, yes. However when the missile leaves the launcher, its under its own guidance. Can be used in top attack, or direct.

They're used Bayraktar TB2s's (UCAV's) recently, so could be those? Not entirely sure.

Still no video proof of these military transport planes shot down so all these things I doubt until video proof.
