Is it possible to marshal that very, very heavily armored formation under the Russian noses, without Russian technology and Russian spies noticing it? The formation could not have been disbursed either. Z knew the part he was going to play this time, Heinz Guderian. Could the Ukes have pulled this force off the Donbas lines and Belarus front and then transported it all that distance unnoticed by Russian eyes? Look at where the Russians channeled the Ukes. Bum F, rural Russia. Very few civilians and little infrastructure to loose. The only serviceable road in or out, the Russians allow to remain open.
Have you heard how the Chechen Hunter/Killer formations were transferred to the edges of the Russian pocket BEFORE the Ukes moved? As we type, those specifically trained units are hunting and killing the amor less and coming about now the ammo less, hapless Ukes trapped in the pocket. Answer one question and we’ll know if we’re on to something. As the Chechens arrived were the few civilians there being evacuated?
Yes about Russia preparation and Chechans. There is a real fog of war. Most the Ukrainian bloggers admitted the first two weeks most of their own reporting was based on Russian sources. Zelinski will forever be compared with Hitler after this is over.
