Poor horses

[Responsibility2nd]

I thought Putie troops were on donkeys.

[mass55th]

That’s old news. They’ve been using them to move supplies.

[hinckley buzzard]

We had special forces guys who used horses in the early days of the Afghanistan invasion. Good for mountainous terrain where there were no roads.

Ukies can now curse the Russian troops...

And the horse they rode in on.

[MCSETots]

Their version of electric cars . . .

LMAO

Russia is such a POS country.

3rd world at best.

[NorseViking]

Or in Ukrainian forrests.

[shaggy eel]

,,, the roads would be mud in February. Horses may be a better bet for a while.

[Jeff Chandler]

A horse is a great big target.

[Alter Kaker]

Lot of mountains in Eastern Ukraine?

[Jeff Chandler]

And the horse they rode in on

It’s good propaganda though for the zeepers.

Russia’s got nothing left...soon they’ll be riding sheep! :)

The guy who posted this article isn’t a zeeper, he posts lots of great articles :)

This one just happens to be fodder for zeepers.

And their insanity.

Lord, that nutty oriental woman Isabel van Brugen again. Now she claims Russians are on horses because everything is depleted.
It’s like that movie The Postman!

She’s a heck of a shill, I’ll give her that.
IF some Russian is on a horse somewhere, doing something, I would bet it is in one place, for some specific oddball reason, like the way our Special Forces did in Afghanistan initially.

And having been a grunt once, the idea that it was some idiots who found some horses and started screwing around cannot be discounted.

The last successful cavalry charge was in March of 1945. That was almost 80 years ago. But you never know. Everything old just might be new again.

Everything old just might be new again.

Even today, a pack mule is an infantryman's best friend.

"We had special forces guys who used horses in the early days of the Afghanistan invasion. Good for mountainous terrain where there were no roads."

We also had mounted Air Force Security Police patrols at Clark AB in the Philippines until it was closed in 1991. I would have loved to have that duty.

[DesertRhino]

Interesting.... never heard of that one.

Horse traffic is relatively difficult to target either drone strikes and a soldier on a horse is about as low a value target as you can get.
