Kiev is about 80 miles from the Belarus border. The convoy is north of Kiev. No “hundred of miles” involved here. More like maybe 40-50 at the most. Resistance is waiting. Ever heard of the concept of “ambush?” Nah probably not.
Praying to St. Javelin.
If I was a Belarus or Russian soldier, I’d be very worried about ambushes. May take another day or two to get the stingers and Javelins set up for an ambush. Javelins are fire and forget, so the fuss shooting them can get to cover before the Russians can respond.
Even so, the standoff of the Javelins is multiples of the range of a Russian tank.
Snipers can take out trucks and drivers from 1.5 - 2 km.
With narrow streets, dealing with molotov cocktails, and I’ve seen some that are at least one gallons, Many of which have been turned into homemade napalm. Probably have a 10’ damage zone. If they hit a tank or APC, they will be put out of action.
Russians can also expectations of sniper and ambushes in the cities.
“Resistance is waiting. Ever heard of the concept of “ambush?” Nah probably not.”
When will it begin and where?
