Them RuZZian troops so ‘unfit and old’ they still kicking Ukrainian arses...yeah, okie dokie.

Hey joke for you:
What is a/n Ukrainian forward offensive?
It’s when the Ukrainians turn around and head backwards after getting decimated by massed Russian artillery.

“Today, during the day, on the direct instructions of V. Zelensky, Ukrainian troops attempted an offensive in the Mykolaiv and Kherson regions in three directions.

As a result of the active defense of the grouping of Russian troops, the AFU units suffered heavy losses.

During the fighting, 26 Ukrainian tanks, 23 infantry fighting vehicles, nine other armored combat vehicles were destroyed, two Su-25 attack aircraft were shot down.

The enemy’s losses in manpower amounted to more than 560 servicemen. Another attempt at offensive actions of the enemy failed miserably.” - RuMoDsaid

What’s funny is the Putinas told is in 2014 it was local separatist Donbas “farmers and miners” “kicking butt” in Ukraine. Then Putin handed out medals to Russian airborne and special forces who invaded Ukraine illegally with no insignia. They just lie out of habit. Russia after all invented Fake News and gaslighting.

I noticed masturbatory thread that was evidence of Russia’s constant winning: no pictures, lots of racist slang, no actual evidence except triumphantly saying “everything is okay! The Ukrainian offensive has already failed”.

Of course, the thread does not quote Russian military experts reporting the opposite.

It’s interesting to me on how little evidence the Putin cult operates with.

The folks in the Donbas would say the exact same thing.

And have formed their own very own capable militias of about 100,000.

“The Ukrainians are defending their own country against foreign invasion?”

Iraq, Syria, Libya, Serbia, Somalia, Kosovo enter the chat.

“Then Putin handed out medals to Russian airborne and special forces who invaded Ukraine illegally with no insignia.”

3rd Army Corps is on par with the Ukraine’s militias, not regular RGF units. They are mostly poorly trained and poorly armed.

“…defending their own country against foreign invasion”

What a novel idea.

There was a pre-Civil War regular artillery battalion that bore the unofficial nickname of “The Immortals” because even the lieutenants had grey hair. Gotta love soldiers’ humor.

Maybe like that aged security guard in the department store on Andy Griffith who fell asleep? Boss called him “Rip Van Winkle.” That was the one where Barney dressed up as a mannequin to observe the female criminal stealing merchandise.
