From the chosen company “We got behind a Russian frontline, killed everyone in it, and then waited for friendly units to push the frontline.

Russians then ran towards us, thinking we were Russians. Instead, they found out why they should have fucking stayed home and out of Ukraine.”

What is that uniform, combat casual? Are they attacking a Best Buy later?

Russia must really have a problem with even getting enough uniforms for everyone they sent into the meat grinder, I keep seeing so many videos and pictures of Russian soldiers wandering around in a weird mishmash of civilian and military clothing, and the "oh shit these guys aren't ours" dude at the end looked like he had a blue(??) shirt on. Could of course be non-army military clothing, it's not like Russians are picky about who they throw in the grinder

Fuck me. Homey didn't even have a side arm on him. Are they just conscripting dudes off the 5:15 metro bus and tossing them at the front? He had like civilian attire on.

You ever seen Enemy at the Gates? The opening scene where they're killing soldiers for jumping off boats and then giving every other soldier a gun, with the next ammo. Sending them into a slaughter of machine gun fire and shooting anyone who returns...

Just always been the Russian military. Unprepared, poorly trained, ill equipped and sent into a slaughterhouse is just how they operate. Always has been. If they can't win by throwing a mass of bodies at it and brutality it's not happening.

It's fairly well known they can't do logistics for shit either. They do everything by train. If there's no railroad tracks and they completely fall apart. Even to win WW2 they were shipped thousand of US jeeps, trucks and food. They've never been able to supply an army properly.

Sorry to bust your bubble, but those scenes are not historically correct.

Exactly what happened in the scene, obviously not. The sentiment and ethos is though.
