The Ukrainian 1st Tank Regiment has
three tank battalions and a mechanized infantry battalion. The mechanized infantry will have
three companies with eleven BMPs each, not counting the vehicles assigned to their various support platoons/companies. The tank battalions will have
31 tanks each. That equals 33 BMPs and 93 T-64s, plus one or two for command vehicles. Please show me these RuA MoD drone videos confirming the destruction of ~63~ odd BMPs and T-64s in the Chernihiv region or
shut the fuck up.
I posted them way back, you refused to watch them on Telegram as you did not want to download the app on your phone. Those were your words. If you don't want to use Mash, Telegram, etc where Russia posts its stuff due to censorship on Western Platforms, you don't get to turn around and say I did not post sources.
Yeah, I noticed. Their way of doing things seems to involve spreading out their forces on multiple axes of advance, failing to employ SEAD/DEAD worth a fuck, zooming around attempting blyatkrieg tactics against an enemy that is not only defending in depth but knows exactly where they are because they're relying on fucking unsecured civilian fucking radios and eventually running for home with their tails between their legs as they leave countless dead soldiers and a wealth of abandoned equipment behind in enemy territory.
And they overran the South, the economic heartland of Ukraine, caused the entire civilian economy to collapse, destroyed the UkA military industry, reduced them to moving at night, and got UkA to commit its mobile reserves to defend their capital instead of preventing the encirclement of Mariupol or stopping the Kherson Lodgment while it was weakly held.
SEAD, Ukraine isn't Iraq, its a peer competitor to Russia with the same base doctrine and technology. So they will be scooting all over the place to avoid destruction like Serbia did. Even then they can't really stop the Russian Airstrikes which generally are able to hit what they want and operate openly during the day. Nor have they been able to sweep Russian Drones out of the sky. Given the Circumstances, the UkA air defense is doing everything right it can, its just not enough.
The only thing I'm confused about is where you get these claims you pull clear out of your fucking ass, and why you expect anyone to believe them with nothing in the way of evidence provided. You have a cite for that "Europe only has 35 days of gas" horseshit you keep repeating, for instance? Do share with the class.
Posted several days ago when the EU announced its diesel levels.
Pay a fucking attention.
Mariupol only had about 4,500 troops.
And Kherson held out for a week, and it was only protected by the 59th motorized brigade, which then successfully retreated to Mykolaiv, where upon it has continued to hold off Russia's advance since.
Oh for fuck's sake the UkA OOB is on fucking Wikipedia, a quick cut and paste as I not bulleting this. All of these units are effectively destroyed. Their bases overran. Also Mariupol had a large number of men from other units retreat to it and raised Territorial Troops for defense. But since you like Planefag drink your Kool-Aid, I can't help you.
