Someone is LYING, and given the record of our side, particularly Jake Sullivan...
I’ll leave it at that.
You should see the record of the other side.
How bout everyone is
I imagine that Putin is amused by the chattering of the JoeLitburo’s flying monkeys like Jake.
OK Bob, let’s talk combat in urban environments. Are you a well trained combatant in this? No, you’re not. MOUT (Military Operations Urban Terrain) normally gives the defense a 10:1 superiority with the defense outmatched in firepower. Evenly matched forces this ratio reaches 100:1 for the defense.
Depends on training as well as depth of defense.
The only way to win decisively in cities is to level them as in WWII from the air along with saturation artillery. Fighting house to house, room to room is living hell. It’s ok when you’ve got to clear one apartment building with two platoons of well trained troops (and lots of extra grenades). But whole cities requires logistics beyond that.
I trained in combat in cities in Berlin for 3 years. We were the worlds best back in the ‘80s. The Soviets would fly Mi-24s over our exercises with film crews to learn from us. (Lots of fun shooting a star cluster flare into the bottom of them when they did that. Rapid departure.)
