If reports are true, the UK’s REALLY walked into it. A Kasserine Pass kinda walked in to it.
Kiev has made a HUGE propaganda deal about the “cyborgs. They were pushed out of the airport a week ago, but Kiev just couldn’t admit it. So they try to retake it.
One column walks into a well-sited and prepared artillery zone, and gets blasted. The other gets lost in the fog, then stumbles into an anti-armor minefield, then it to gets blasted. Still another unit refuses to come to the aid of the units getting hammered.
The rebels counter-attack on both flanks of the airport. the East strike doesn’t gain much ground, but the one on the west side pushes into an important village, flanking any future attacks.
