It's funny how #2 and #3 assume the average Twitter user seeing this is emotionally unstable and completely ignorant of what's going on.

They aren’t wrong. The average Twitter user seems emotionally unstable enough to need therapy over this.

Offtopic but I mean they're already fucking themselves shutting off all their nuclear plants. IIRC they have a massive energy debt and already have to buy energy from other countries. I wouldn't be the least surprised if they go into massive debt to France again just because of that lmao

One thing I'm noticing, though it just may be a reporting issue, is that the big pushes come during daylight hours. Not at night. You would think Russia would take advantage of their tech edge in night-fighting capability if they had it.

Even with night vision advantages, you still have the limits of the human body and the risk of friendly fire incidences.

Even understanding blitz tactics, you want an organized offensive. Not a mad rush towards objectives where you shoot at every slavshit tank in your scope.

The Russian armed forces actually do have some pretty cool stuff in their arsenal. Things that can find a man in a dense forest in the middle of the night from 500 metres away. The problem is that only a few units are actually issued or trained to use this kind of fancy equipment.

I'd read a bit a few years back about how Russian NVG's are way behind, we're talking back about NVG-5 levels, and that there isn't much training on them.

Was checking out a few things a year or so ago and someone who had gotten done with a bit of service with the Russian army was answering questions. Apparently they'd only been to the range twice in 5 years. Once at the end of initial training, once at the 3 year mark in his unit. No real NVG training, no night operations training.

Sounds like they might have regressed back to the old USSR days where one dude knew how to drive the trucks and that was it.

I mean, if you're used to the US military with it's "We Own the Night!" attitude and constantly nighttime operations, full color NVG systems, multi-lens shit, you might think that another 'first world power' would be up there too.

Then you think about how much it costs to do all that training (which is why it apparently got the shit cut out of it in the last few years), from troop pay to fuel to bullets to batteries to damaged equipment, and you start to wonder if they're just training their snake eaters and hoping daytime operations are good enough.

A few people on Twitter have noticed that everywhere Russia is attacking in Ukraine is the site of a US biowarfare lab.

1) HOLY SHIT! I think I may be onto something about #Ukraine. Zelensky said the Russians are firing at “military installations”. How broad is that term? I am seeing speculation that could include US installed biolabs. At first I was like no way. Then I started digging.

Twitter have gone out of their way to suppress this, and even threadreaderapp deleted unrolled versions of this thread. :stress:

Sounds like Ukraine are blowing all the bridges around Kiev to keep Russian tanks out.

Good grief. It sounds like those who predicted Russia storming the capital within a day were just about correct.

Yeah I said hours yesterday, this was a well planned and executed blitzkrieg maneuver
