Things are heating up in the Donbass

Exactly right. We had markings on all our tanks and fighting vehicles during Desert Storm.. Helps against friendly fire.

What do the various V shaped markings on the sides of American tanks and other tracked vehicles signify?

Answer (1 of 3): The “V” shaped markings are Chevrons. Pictured here on the side of the tank Their role is to indicate, that the tank is friendly as well as which company the tank belongs to. Apart from that, the two digit number(pictured above) shows which tank it is and which platoon it belon...

Especially that they have a lot of the same stuff.

What's with the "V" markings? Different front? Different branch of service?

These are VDV (paratroopers) on the outskirts of Kiev.

I've seen reports that some units have Z, Some have a Z inside of a square and others have a V.

Ive read it has something to do with their unit and origin.

In my opinion, they were working on bio weapons that they could not legally do here under treaty. So they funded and outsourced it to Ukraine and China , (Who's gonna know? )

Because it's not their junk. This is Russia's military.

They are being humiliated. Every country outside their immediate friend group is widely and publicly mocking their competency. The "much weaker" Ukraine refuses to be conquered. Now over a week into this and Russia still can't take out the capital, but has lost thousands of troops. They are not projecting strength, but weakness. Putin desperately needs this over because his career, if not literally his life, is on the line here. He is not humiliating Russia in front of the entire world because he is holding back the "real" military while the international community closes them off. And as you point out even given shit equipment your tactics don't need to be shit, so why are they? It's because Russia is shit. That's what they are. They always have been, and now we all know.

Have you heard of Russia's T-14 tank? Bad ass next gen tank? They built it years ago. They don't even have a hundred of them. They literally cannot even afford to build them. They are just parade floats.

The fear here, is if what you said is genuinely correct, then Putin will be a dangerous cornered and desperate animal. What lengths will he go to get Ukraine subdued? What will he do to keep NATO from supporting Ukraine?

His decision to make a move was probably based on the intell from this guy.

Regardless, Putin's decision was stupid. If somebody invaded your home what would you do? Welcome them with open arms? You'd have to have a severe mental deficiency to think if you invade another country they are going to welcome you there. History goes the way of resistance way more often than just rolling over.

The deep state will use them and blame it on Russia! Typical False Flag!!

Most of Western Europe rolled over in WWII.

Quickly conquered is not the same thing as rolling over without resistance. Western Europe was still resisting afterwards.

Im saying his Intell officer probably told them the Ukrainians wouldn't resist, the military will would disperse and resistance would be mimimal .

""Its a midnight run for Christ's sake!"" and then he was hit with the reality of a slugfest . id be a little pissed to .Im not saying it wasn't his call. Im saying his call was based on timely info that was wayyyyyy off.

This is a story repeated since the invasion began. I always knew their equipment was old and they couldn't compete with the west technologically, but beyond that they are actually bad warfighters; their strategy & tactical skills are terrible. I've seen some blame this on the culture of russian hierarchy: unquestioning in the extreme, and are not taught to think on their feet. This is why you see things like this. I wonder if some is also because whenever they run wargames with allies their allies are also crap, so they don't really know what excellence looks like.

So many convoys have been taken out. I saw one last week it was just 7 russian tankers on the side of the road all burned out. They send these things out in hostile territory without defense. And where are the infantry? Tanks need infantry support. Everybody has known this for a century. Where are they? Look at this pic of the tank traffic jam. This is great for defenders because if you miss the tank you're aiming for there's another right next to it to hit instead.

Ukraine: 'Inept' Russian tactics baffle military experts

The devastating artillery strikes came yesterday as Putin's troops inched closer to Kyiv. Military experts have said they are surprised by the tactics used by Moscow's armies.

It's the same reason we held all the Taliban in a hastily built facility in Cuba instead of a supermax in Colorado.

Because we wanted to do illegal shit with them.

Not only they rolled over, their resistance was nothing to speak of.

White House Briefing Tik Tok Battalion To Advance NATO War Effort in Ukraine - The Last Refuge

"Does the briefing of Tik Tok dancers, social media ‘influencers’, to advance NATO objectives seem bizarre? Sure it does. However, is it any more bizarre than the expressed implications of danger from purchasing paint -vs- fried chicken at Walmart?

We are living in an era of great duality. If the government told everyone on the planet that wearing a red T-Shirt would protect you from the coronavirus, approximately one-third of the global population would immediately purchase the red shirts. They wouldn’t even think twice about it, because they carry no baseline reference point, no intellectual or cognitive skillset, to question the basic absurdity of it."

And if you don't believe the highlighted portion reflects reality, you are beyond help.

A stream I'm watching, the guys are talking about known and verified Russian equipment that have been taken by Ukraine. Captured and disabled. Saying Russia is now the biggest supplier to Ukraine lmao.

They fueled up 2 tanks, left to fuel up a couple more and on returning seen Ukrainian flags on the tanks, and engaged the tanks destroying them
Troll master level reached lmfao

Evan tho unvaxxed, I entered Poland with ease on the condition I left within 24 hours. So I wasted no time, and took a train from Krakow to Przemysl. The only sign of WAR was the name of the cafe’
