Im guessing that russian doctrine allows for more causalities and fuckups when it comes to important wars that determine the longterm survival of the nation when i think vaguely about history. Also im also guessing that they're sending not their best quality soldiers, Sun Tzu and all that. as they're probably on standby for shitstirring problems like Kazakhstan.

Maybe you're applying western standards to a nation that had iirc 200 000 men/soldiers die because they helped close down a nuclear plant. probably thought they where acceptable losses

You're guessing that Russia sees itself as being in an existential war, but also deliberately left its best soldiers guarding less important regions that don't pose an existental threat to Russia? Good thing you're wrong on that front, because that would be fucking retarded. We've already discussed this issue at length, and Russia has damned near everything it can cobble together in Ukraine right now, including and especially the good troops. It doesn't matter what your doctrinal margin for casualties is, if you're not taking ground in return for those casualties, you have a fucking shitshow on your hands.

That ball cutting doctor backtracked.

When you said "ball cutting doctor", I had to stop for a moment and think if you meant the Ukrainian public health official or the notorious ball cutting doctor Marci Bowers from the Jazz Jennings and GRS surgeon horror threads.

Russia's Naval Infantry have seemingly been chomping at the bit for a go at Odesa. At least on paper, they are some of Russia's best equipped troops. I doubt that they could take Odesa, but if they assault the city at the same time that Belarus joins and Mariupol falls and frees up some men, Ukraine might have to make some difficult decisions of which areas should be reinforced.

Am I the only one who finds the notion that a country without a strong naval tradition, but generously equips their naval infantry a little strange?

It's kind of this whole "Russia always knows what it's doing, and has a master plan... just wait and see!" it's war. There are limits on logistics, limits on information, bad assumptions made, battles lost that should have been won, and that's just the start. Things don't always go to plan, and this time they clearly did not. Hence the scrambling for more troops, involving other areas, hiring more mercs and the like.

Another is reason is probing defenses, lose a tank and you just replace tank, lose a warm body and you have no one else to operate in the area.

A tank crew in a destroyed T-72 and other tanks means losing a commander, gunner and driver whether to capture or severe injury. Losing a tank means losing three warm bodies.

An interesting look at the whole "They're Just Research Facilities" thing.


Take it with as many grains of salt as you wish.

So basically everything we've seen posted on the conflict threads already, cites Russian government sources, then HUNTER BIDEN SMOKED BURISMA CRACK AT THE BIOLABS.
20 minutes for something that we already knew.
