Elite Russian Naval Unit Reacts to Stunning Loss of 300 Men in Pavlivka: 'Baffling'

High-ranking unit in the Russian navy is reeling after experiencing significant losses in a recent offensive.

The 155th Guards Naval Infantry Brigade was involved in Wednesday attack on a Ukrainian military garrison in Pavlivka, a town southwest of the recently annexed Donetsk region, according to The Moscow Times on Monday. The offensive intended to give Russian forces access to a key supply line in the area.

In the wake of the offensive, the elite naval unit is reportedly pointing the finger at "baffling" leadership decisions that led to the loss of roughly 300 men. These complaints were made in a letter shared by a handful of Russian media figures online, which was sent by the unit to regional leaders in its home region in Russia's Far East.

The introductory paragraph saw the marines of the unit accuse their leaders of being motivated by pay bonuses, promises, and military honors.

"Once again, we were thrown into a baffling offensive by General Muradov and his fellow countryman Akhmedov in order for Muradov to earn bonuses in front of [Valery Gerasimov, Chief of the General Staff for the Russian military] and Akhmedov Muradov promised a hero of Russia," the letter reads, as translated by the online program, Yandex. "As a result, we and the Kamchatka Marines are advancing on Pavlivka. As a result of a 'carefully' planned offensive by the 'great commanders', we lost about 300 people killed, wounded, and missing in 4 days. 50 percent of the equipment. This is just our team."

The letter accuses their leaders of hiding the true statistics from higher-ups for fear of facing accountability for their failures. They also accused them of leading men into doomed offensives for the sake of boosting their own prestige.

"The district command together with [the brigade commander] are hiding this..

Summary >>>> Common Ukrainian soldiers wasted an elite Russian unit. Killing 300 of them.

[Timber Rattler]

One less Russian battalion, totally wasted as usual.

[kiryandil]

Zero Ukrainian casualties, as usual.

[caver]

This is not baffling. A UFO is baffling. Ordering your troops into a suicidal battle is treasonous or worse.

[The Duke]

Does anybody even believe any of this stuff (from either side)?

This is what happaens when you run out of missiles at the beginning of July.

Nope!

So far 65,000 Russians have been killed. That's around 1/3 of the size of the invasion force.

Apparently Putin was able to mobilize 300,000 troops. So the war is not even half over.

Do you believe MSN or the Daily Mail. Tabloid trash journalism supreme.

There are reports that Hot Ukie Tank Girl scraped her elbow and mussed her mascara while coolly disposing of another 75 Russian T-90 tanks.

Does not state that, troll.

So far 65,000 Russians have been killed. That's around 1/3 of the size of the invasion force.

ACTUALLY, it's about 100,000 Ukrainian KIA to 10-12,000 RuZZian KIA.

Interesting that the Western Media isn't interested in giving the bad news to its "news" consumers.

When the news finally gets out, the remaining Ukrainians are gonna become aware that they've been used like one of JoeTatoe's diapers.

I don't care who shouts at who. We don't belong in the Ukraine. Our country is tanking and Russian soldiers shouting at a general or whatever don't warrant sending billions of support to the Ukraine.

 

In the General/Chat forum, on a thread titled "This drawdown will bring the total U.S. military assistance for Ukraine to an unprecedented more than $18.3 billion since the beginning of the Administration." ~ Blinken, FarCenter wrote:

$125 / American household so far.

I think there's more but they've got a shell game going. Congress asked for funds separately?

• Congress to vote on $12.3 billion Ukraine aid package

  https://www.defensenews.com/congress/2022/09/27/congress-to-vote-on-123-billion-ukraine-aid-package/

  But there's this text which seems to indicate parallel or separate from Biden's 'donations'

   

  "The package includes $7.5 billion in military assistance and another $4.5 billion in economic and humanitarian support, on par with the amounts the White House asked for earlier this month as part of its latest Ukraine supplemental request."

   

  So I followed that link and it says in the first week of September, " .....President Joe Biden’s new $13.7 billion funding request for Ukraine in the wake of Russia’s invasion...."

Commie human waves are so much fun!

These are from Russian sources discussing their own losses in Russian media. Don’t hijack the thread with the usual “its all lies!” BS.

[kiryandil]

I see that Greta let you out for a walk.

Is there a pet door for you, or does she just let you out in the back yard, Greta's_Puny_Human?      

[thegagline]

roughly 300 men

“Roughly” = give or take several hundred

[Greetings_Puny_Humans]

Typical attempt to hijack the thread after posting troll crap. Anything to distract is fair game for you, vatnik.
