The highly trained and newly armed Ukies managed to blowup their own ammo dump. High marks for US/NATO training.
The highly trained and newly armed Ukies lost the rail junction and nearby town in Lugansk to simple small arms scout and sabotage units. High marks to US/NATO training.
The more training the swifter the losses. All Glory to Ukraine!
This is why Porky is urgent for an offensive.
He wisely used the Minsk 2 ceasefire and pullbacks to “reload”.
Now he is about to shoot his foot off, get another 10-20,000 Ukies killed and wounded.
Masterful.
What will be wonderful to watch is how quickly those 400 tanks get destroyed that he has moved close to the Voentorg’s anti-tank weapons supply the militia will be unleashing?
The over-under is 20 days.
How does the western MSM explain all this daily shelling?
Is the tribe exempt from being held accountable for wanton murder and killing?
Answer to your last question is obviously Yes. MSM does not report *any* daily shelling in Donbass, so in the West, there is *no* shelling in Donbass, and if there is any, it must be committed by the Rebels themselves, end of story. Sorry, but that’s the way it is in the world currently.
Daniel Rich — I am finally getting back to your edits and hope to finish up both pieces you’ve looked at by mid-week. Was sick last week. Better late than never and hope these pieces will still be timely.
As for the numbers of tanks and APCs that the DNR spokesman Basurin has been discussing, the only logical explanation for that many is the Ukrowehrmacht pulling everything they have out of the Soviet storage and fixing everything that was repairable, along with the Poles or more likely the Romanians providing some T-72s. But if they lose hundreds of tanks this time there won’t be enough Warsaw Pact leftovers to replace Kiev’s stocks, they’ll have to get Abrams or old German Leopard I’s.
What types of equipment is are Novorossian forces using, is it still Soviet-era? I also remember Saker saying that Novorossian battle-hardened veterans were training legions of new troops; how many new brigades have been formed? There was also a video on this site of the Chechen governor giving a “pep talk” to a few divisions of Chechen soldiers in a Grozny stadium; will they actually be sent to reinforce LPR? Finally, if Poroshenko orders a new large-scale offensive, will Novorossian forces finally counter-attack up to the gates of Kiev?
The orcs lost territory and blew themselves up. Meanwhile, they terrorize civilians with cowardly bombardments from afar. Their tactics don’t appear to have changed too much, despite all that “exceptional” training they are getting from their pindo trainers. Perhaps the trainers are the problem?
The last time the great American tank warfare went to battle was Gulf War I. They basically drove over and plowed under the sand surrendering Iraqi soldiers.
What a great victory!
The US on the land is a small mission special forces band of highly trained limited focus warriors.
The always have two to three levels of air support and rescue backing their missions.
None of that is or will happen in Donbass.
The Ukies are going to die badly and quickly this time.
They should be working on swiftly raising white flags and running naked toward the militia in surrender.
Thousands of young and old men are going to die so Porky can get his last installment of blood money selling out his country.
As for the trainers, we can only hope that significant numbers of them are captured and made to do the ‘perp walk’ through the streets of Donbass.
Then Putin can work a deal. Maybe bring the trainers to Crimea and make Kerry come there to pick them up. Great photo op.
