The armored vehicles were still under power and able to fight.
Doesn't matter when the infantry is chopped up. That was a good ambush. More NLAWS or Javelins firing after they left the kill zone, or mortar fire on the opposite side of the road would have been nice to see. Good IRD (immediate reaction drill) to leave KZ by Russians, but they had some good machinegun fire on the IFVs....you law 3 Russians drop trying to stop and assist their comrade....and 2 of them got dropped by small arms fire. When you are in an ambush zone...you unass the ambush zone. If I were the Russians I would have gone TOWARDS the Ukes with all that armor and infantry. Sometimes running towards the ambushes is the best way to break it. ALso, all those tanks behind the ambush should have tried to outflanke the Ukes.....but I bet their scared of a counter ambush. Those Javelins/NLAWs must be tearing up those Ruskies.
