Now, now, Comrade Crank...watch that potty mouth of yours!

The Ukrainian army has deployed some of its best brigades to eastern Ukraine, including the 92nd and 93rd Mechanized Brigades and the 1st Presidential Brigade.
But these elite Ukrainian formations might not be the biggest killer of Russian troops in the east. Under-trained, under-supplied and ambivalently led, Russians in the region are freezing to death by the dozen.
Shocking videos that have circulated online in recent weeks tell a tragic story. The videos, shot by the Ukrainian brigades’ hovering drones, depict Russians in the late stages of hypothermia, so cold and sick that they barely react when the drones drop lethal improvised bombs on them.
Thomas Theiner, an ex-soldier who currently is a filmmaker in Kyiv, predicted winter “would kill more Russian soldiers than Ukraine ever could.” He may have been right.
Winters in Ukraine start wet and cold then get colder and drier. Eastern Ukraine still is in the wet-cold phase—and it’s brutal. Deep mud mires armored vehicles. Daytime temperatures hover around freezing, while nighttime temperates dip closer to zero degrees Fahrenheit.
With preparation, sound leadership and reliable logistics, the conditions are survivable. Soldiers bundle up, sleep in roofed, heated trenches with floors, frequently change their wet socks and eat twice as much as they would on warm days. When they get sick, they evacuate to the rear for rest.
The problem, for the Russian army, is that more and more of its troops are untrained draftees. Officers aren’t leading from the front. And Russian logistics are strained by nonstop Ukrainian bombardment. Starving draftees with no gloves or good boots are huddling in shallow, unheated trenches while their officers squat in abandoned houses potentially miles away, unaware or uncaring as their soldiers succumb to the elements.

Ha! I didn't see your post before I posted.
The Tsar doesn’t care how much misery he causes ... both outside AND inside Russia
Now, now, Comrade Crank...watch that potty mouth of yours!
“Plenty of evidence the Russians, apparently, did not learn how to supply these things themselves (or stole all the coats) based on what we’re seeing here.”
History, especially the history of WWII Russia, just escapes you and others as you and your cohorts continue to foment those alleged ‘Russian’ false myths of lack of logistics,’ ‘they drink themselves to inaction, etc.,’ blah blah blah.
Ukraine/Kyiv continues its path to implosion as the Russians continue to build up. Ironic huh?
In fact, these problems plagued the Russkies in WW2 too. They made up for it by using millions of Russkies as fodder, which they cannot and will not do here.
That only a few pictures and vids I could have posted of the conditions Ukies are living under as Wagner and other Russian units are pulverizing them with massed Russian artillery, etc.....
‘O group showed the conditions in which they live on the front line’

And yet, the Russians still won.
Still ran the Germans all the way back to Berlin.
Still defeat Nazism and Fascism.........
LOL, next thing they’ll say is that there is a lot of land in Ukraine, and Russia being a city-state (like Singapore), has very little land to train on.
It’s in the mid-thirties in Ukraine. That’s warm for a Russian.
Last spring it was claimed Russians were losing finger and toes due to frostbite. Temperatures were about fifty degrees.
I think this is the video of the Russians getting hit with a drone: Russia soldiers in hypothermia (highly likely) gets bombed . Drone drops a grenade in a pit full of Russians and explodes. Some are probably already dead. Those that aren't, barely move.
Ukrainians without power are better off than mobilized Russians sent to the trenches and left there.
A great propaganda narrative to counter the loss of electricity, heat and water in Ukrainian cities.
World War II Allies: U.S. Lend-Lease to the Soviet Union, 1941-1945
Even before the United States entered World War II in December 1941, America sent arms and equipment to the Soviet Union to help it defeat the Nazi invasion. Totaling $11.3 billion, or $180 billion in today’s currency, the Lend-Lease Act of the United States supplied needed goods to the Soviet Union from 1941 to 1945 in support of what Stalin described to Roosevelt as the “enormous and difficult fight against the common enemy — bloodthirsty Hitlerism.”
Wrong. They are heading into winter and unless a soldier is inside a shelter w a fire, the Fox hole is his grave. Do some research into WWII.
—”Another dumb post. Russians are used to cold.”
and you believe that?
Must have been the wily Ukrainians who secretly used Kryptonite on the unsuspecting Russian supermen.
Bkmk

I can’t be the only former grunt that laughed at this. Talk about a world where some people have never been too hot or too cold. Saving this for my retired father (infantry too).
