I don’t understand why some of the armor in the rear of the column didn’t break off and flank the agressor?

They were confused. the UK tank was hidden from their view so they didn’t know where the fire was coming from.

Notice the tracers being fired indiscriminately after the explosion. They were just firing at random...............

Parents of Russian conscripts who say they’ve lost communications with their loved ones are pleading with Kremlin officials for answers as to where family members have been sent amid concerns they have been forced to sign contracts to fight as part of President Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, according to the report.

Olga Larkina, the director of Russia’s Committee of Soldiers’ Mothers, spoke to Russian investigative news outlet Meduza, describing how Russian conscripts – those fulfilling military enlistment requirements – had been pressured, or at times even forced to sign contracts to become soldiers for the Russian military.

“Mothers are telling us that their sons have been calling them and saying they’re being forced to sign contracts. We believe it’s wrong to force a conscript to become a contract soldier,” Larkina said, according to the translated article.

“The parents who have gotten in touch have told us their sons were just taken by military officers, stamped, and that’s it — now they’re contract soldiers.”

“The Russians apparently have no idea how to protect armored personnel carriers in a convoy.”

I’m no expert, but I could guess that maybe you don’t send the lightly armed and armored vehicles as your vanguard. Maybe...

“the documented Russian propensity to rape other men in the military”

And in prison. Oh, and I’m not talking about the prisoners raping each other.

True.

“Russian soldiers are forced into gay prostitution. According to an international gay guide Spartacus, you can either pick up a soldier in Moscow city center or visit a nearby military base and choose the one you like for 100-500 usd. That’s how officers & деды are hustling

Typical story: Conscript Ilya was forced into prostitution on his second month of service. He got a letter from his gf and didn’t give it to sergeant to read. Angry sergeant told Ilya won’t need girls anymore. That evening he was gang raped. Later, they would sell him to clients.”

...

“Everyone fears glorious Russian army. And yet, Russian organized crime considers it as prey. Thieves literally visit military bases with nuclear rockets, Syrian war veterans and racketeer them. Officers and men pay of course. Thief is higher than a soldier in dominance hierarchy.”

Yes, was 2yrs, reduced to 1.5 then 1 yr.

Earlier 2nd yr conscripts notoriously killed hundreds of newbies.

The Russian forces are about 30% conscripts, 50 % contract/ volunteers and the remainder being officers and career NCOs.

- Despite element of surprise, ccd, and a flank position, the UA tank crew knew they were far outgunned, with a good chance they were not going home. Bravery and willing self sacrifice here.

- Russian tracer rounds clearly reveal disorientation to UA contact/target.

- Unable to see UA contact, bit realizing they were in ambush, line armor should have “broken off” with intent to regroup. Yah, you are in a village, but this is near amazing to me.

- In TaC, not knowing the position of UA fire, at least two rear elements of armor should have broken off and performed a type of enveloping flank (sweep).

- Potential fear of getting off hardball involved (mud), which has been a real and terminal problem for Putin’s offensive land and energy grab to present. Some reason for not going with the basics involved.

As an old IA, this was real.

Amazing footage.

I have read Russian docs from the 1960’s, and as late as mid 1980’s revealing the desire to educate/indoctrinate American youth into homosexuality.

This follows older warnings and “tippers” from Solzhenitsyn, Kordakov, and Bezmenov, as to the stated KGB intent of “Demoralization” (corruption) in the neutralization and elimination of America as a power, or even a political entity.

Weird that the tank is 500 klicks from where it needs to be in the Donbass.

Bubble, bubble, toil and trouble - the Donbass Cauldron is on the boil...
