Re: Russian Invasion Ukraine Day 55/56 (April 20th and 21th)
Oh, lots of stuff. - Remember the recent drone footage I posted of the Russians running into the big white house, it getting smashed by UKR artillery and then they run out? This is what happened right afterwards. One of them survived and surrendered on drone cam. - Three Russians surrender to UKR forces in Donyetsk. - UKR gifts from the sky - Russian Snipex Alligator 14.5mm, suppressed (bigger than a .50 cal - Yeah dude that's artillery, keep your head down - Low pass of Su-25's over some DNR/LNR guys - UKR Stugna-P strikes again (2 videos) - Ukrainian kids formed their own checkpoint. They ask the driver to say a word which is hard for Russians to pronounce without an accent. The word is a type of Ukrainian bread |

Re: Russian Invasion Ukraine Day 55/56 (April 20th and 21th)
I was just thinking the colonel looks like a frat boy and the troops look like fkn children. I think the entire Russian rank system is inflated vs western counterparts. IE a Russian "colonel" would be a "captain" in the West. Lower ranking "generals" seem to occupy the positions you'd expect to see majors in. Of course the media just love to report about "dead generals" without context. You won't see many Western generals in harms way. They stay far behind. |

I think Snipex rifle is in fact Ukranian made. It was approved as Ukranian forces weapon not too long ago, like less then a year maybe? Or we are talking about different rifles ? |

Re: Russian Invasion Ukraine Day 55/56 (April 20th and 21th)
Not really, Russian ranks are generally the same. The problem is it's rare for troops to serve more 3 or 4 years in the Russian army. In the US and some other western countries it's quite common. As a result in Russia servicemen with less experience have to fill higher ranks. Easy to understand. Is a dead general in your army under any "context" a good thing? No, it's not. The reason why so many high ranking officers have been killed is because when frontline units were losing control of the situation, and junior officers were being killed, senior ones had to move forward and take control of the situation. |
