You're right, Russians are destroying their main enemy-Ukrainian tractors

The Russians are not fighting in pure battalions but in Battalion Tactical Groups.

BTG are a western construct - no one in the orc or UA army has a clue about such a thing
Here’s the actual structure of Russian Mechanized Infantry Brigades according to the UA and the RGF:
The RGF once used the Army with many Divisions. But that was during WWII and the cold war. Since there were no more major wars, the RGF downsized its unit division from Division to Battalion. However since 2012 or so they have begun to convert back to Division.
Now there is a mix of unit designations Division and Battalion.
None of the smaller divisions are even close to Western unit make up (totally forget the “BTG” terminology - a Western construct).
For instance: there are 2 kinds of Mechanized Infantry Brigades, each with a different, but similar, make up. Call them Type A and Type B.
Type A has 2 tank battalions (~60 T-72 tanks), 2 Infantry battalions, Engineer battalion, Recon battalion, 2 self propelled arty battalions (could be up to 3 battalions), MLRS (Grad) battalion, AA battalion, Comm battalion, UAV battalion (Orlon-10), Sniper battalion, and Support battalion. Self-sufficient.
Type B has 3 infantry battalions (mixed as A& B below), 1 Tank battalion.
Infantry battalions in each Brigade are of two types, call them A & B.
A has ~540 troops, 49 BTR-82s, 8 120MM Mortars, 6 AGS-17s, 15 AT missile. 3 SPG-9s. 3 companies of about 109-110 troops.
Fighting force about 300 troops.
B has ~460 troops, 42 - BMP-2s, 8 120mm mortars, 6 AGS-17s, 15 AT missiles, 3 SPG-9s. 3 companies of 91 troops.
Fighting force about 270 troops.
Troops on the frontline are never more than half, but more like 40%

They took pieces from intact Divisions and Brigades to make the original unit make up at the start of the invasion. This cannot be fixed.
Kremlin could blame it all on “Ukrainian programmed Nazi Piranha fish with steel implants”, and the cherry picking/revisionist history Putin/Xi globalists on FR and many formerly conservative sites would circulate the info as “gospel”.
We should “photoshop” some images of the “Ukrainian programmed Nazi Piranha with steel implants” to help prove it...
Looks like more than one Mechanized Infantry Brigade, possibly even 2 or 3 mixed and thrown together to make a fighting force.
Waiting for the usual here to claim this is Uke propaganda.
3... 2... 1....

Still claiming Russia Will make ukraine land locked...no onto the third month and it isn’t so...denial ain’t just a riverine eygpt.
Vladolf’s cheering section are going to have to hit the copium pretty hard
“How long has Russian troop mass been parked outside Kiev”
You think there is rooskies outside Kiev? Thats news to the rooskies
You dudes stop that utter nonsense. I would rather cut off my own dick than get involved in anything like that.
Go Ukes ! Burn the mongol rus nazis. Glory to the heroes. Death to the rus nazi pigs !!!
Prolly be better just to take a bridge.
Why do Russian tanks that got flooded in a river crossing have their turrets blown off and missing. Those Russians!!
6up. It’s not western bias
Maybe ultimately war is just two robot armies soplugging it out and no humans killed.
The best zamoyski book is a short one, about the1920 battle of Warsaw
The sources are multiple witnesses, satellite imagery etc.
Kazan “There is but one outcome to this war — Russia will control the entire Donbass region. The “
Just stating your and Putin’s dream won’t make it happen.
In fact the opposite seems to be true.
Your Rossiya is weak.
Whoa. That appears to be a major ass kicking.
Arty rules!
Any generals killed this time?
5.56mm
““...the Ukrainians removed from the battlefield one of the roughly 99 Russian battalion tactical groups in Ukraine.”
Only 98 to go.”
Exactly! Also, the whole special operation was intended to last 3 months and not 3 days. Everything is going according to plan.
Then only about 10 more days to go until the special operation “plan” will be over. If Putin still has any generals left alive by then, I’m sure they will join him in Moscow for a big victory parade.
