Russians are employing this dastardly new technology called “mines” which no army on earth has encountered before, least of all those of the NATO members like France, Germany and the UK.

One thing that I think doesn’t get discussed that much is that military aid from NATO allies is great and all but providing tanks to Ukraine (for example) on the face of it, sounds pretty swell but unless troops are trained to operate that particular tank then they will be unable to be efficient and coordinated on the battlefield.
This varies depending on what is being provided. Obviously, for a gun, there’s less of a learning curve than a missile battery or a helicopter which is of a significantly different design to what the Ukrainian military is experienced in operating in the theatre of war.
But there’s a narrative that has developed in the mainstream audience in the west that you just plop down some additional tanks or what have you and it’ll just *work*. But this is war, not some strategy game, and the average person doesn’t seem to have any grasp of the realities on the ground.
But when I play HOI IV I can just click the button and upgrade the equipment? I think it’s you that doesn’t get how works
Volkssturm tactics have been used by Ukraine since day one. They don’t give a good goddamn if the “tank crew” can do their job or not.
