VLADIMIR PUTIN has reportedly fired eight generals within the Russian military as his campaign in Ukraine hits waves of local resistance and slows towards Kyiv. Express.co.uk has explored Russia's military composition as the war continues. ...

Know we know why the capture of Ukrainian circus clown cannons have been a big priority...
His fat ass wouldn’t fit in the bore.................
We’ll see if that hold true.
Ultimately the questions are: do the Rooskies have the ability to go full blitzkrieg, and do they have the stomach for it.
If the answers are in the negative then you are correct, Bad Vlad is toast along with many others.
I posted following PDJT’s election that he needs to offer all O6 n above, who resigned their commission under Obama, reinstatement to previous rank.
Another “10 unidentified intelligence professionals” have said its true?
Putin is acting irrationally because firing his generals does nothing to ameliorate the obvious lack of training for enlisted troops and non-commissioned officers. Not to mention poorly maintained equipment, field rations that in some cases expired seven years ago, a lack of secure communications equipment, etc.
The way the Russians advance in these vehicle-only convoys is a horror-show of what-not-to-do.
Like it or not you need infantry on the ground advancing in tandem with the armor and not riding in trucks where they can’t protect the armor let alone themselves.
The consistent lack of Russian air cover for the convoys shows that the Ukrainian MANPADs have had a chilling effect on Russian air power. The Russians are clearly more concerned about conserving their aircraft than they are concerned with coordinated ground support.
I have to say this makes me wonder what the hell the Russians were doing in these huge exercises like Zapad 17? Were they just riding around in their tanks and their Aurus Senat limousines going “pew, pew, pew”?
The exercises were clearly a pointless waste of time and money.
What we are seeing in Ukraine with the Russian military is a demonstration in ego and hubris...and humiliation.
At the end of this real-life demonstration of Russian military power and skill against a fourth-rate defender the Russian people will be less safe than they were before.
Russia’s real enemies are watching this clownshow and making plans. Of this there can be no doubt.
It takes a certain caliber of man for that job.
Surprised he didn’t execute them.
Well, at least he isn’t demanding them to commit suicide yet
Catapults.
The difference between Russia and the US is that Russia will learn from their mistakes—the US just doubles down.
His caliber.....................
Trebuchets!................
Here's the perfect caliber for him................
No, the problem here is that America does learn from our mistakes. We get better at things and our weakness is in assuming that they don’t need constant improvement. They do.
In Russia it is impossible to learn from mistakes because the act of pointing out a mistake is immediately labeled anti-Russian treason. Thus no one challenges the various orthodoxies of Russian institutions. People tend not to like getting shot thus they keep their silence.
See, you can’t learn from a mistake until you admit you made one.
Moreover it is clear that in most cases they have been fighting a collection of militia using opportunistic guerilla tactics, for which the Russians were unprepared. They could push a column up a highway but behind them the enemy still was active.
Its not just that they werent using infantry, its that they have far too few infantry to counter this sort of enemy, where they need to control terrain to protect their lines of communication.
The circus never used the human cannonball act again after that, because they could never find another man of that caliber.
