hilazo!
What happened in Kharkiv oblast is the result of a sum of gross mistakes and unresolved problems in the Russian army:
A) Lack of unified command
B) Supply failures
C) Lack of replenishment
D) Poor training of the army
E) Tactical mistakes
es un poco largo, pero te lo aclara todo, por eso los ucranianos plantaron cara, sabían que lo tenían jodido, pero que era factible resistir:
To start with, I want to stop describing what invaded Ukraine and is still fighting on Putin's side as "the Russian army". It is not the Russian army, it is a kind of military grouping in which the army is not in command everywhere and not always. Let's start there.
la definición que da del ejército ruso es la nueva definición del ejército de pancho villa
tienes a los wagner
The Wagner PMC is the most privileged group. Apparently they only report to the centre and can use LNR/DNR and army units for their tasks. They even have their own aviation, handed over by the air force (Su-25s cannot be bought in a military store) and their own targeting.
the 3-5,000 "Wagnerites" are not subordinated to the general army structure and fight autonomously. At the same time, Wagner is the most professional part of the entire Russian grouping in Ukraine.
(y tienen pique con los de kadirov, lo dice a lo largo del hilo) son los que han conseguido algo en los últimos meses (por lo que cobran, ya les vale)
luego tienes a los terroristas separatistas (sic)
Troops from the terrorist DNR and LNR are the most disenfranchised. They are sent anywhere, for example, some militia are defending the Kherson front.
The "LNR" militia are the worst equipped, they are literally ragamuffins who have to collect helmets, flak jackets, socks and other things from volunteers. They are the most unmotivated. Most of them are displaced residents of the occupied territories.
luego tienes al ejército ruso como tal:
The Russian army is not much better at fighting than the L/DNR, but still has more adequate heavy equipment. However, after the losses of the start of the war, it seems to me that the Russian army in Ukraine now has only a few paratroopers, marines + artillery and aviation.
There are many questions about their professionalism, I will have a separate section on this. But we see that most often some kind of air assault detachments fight, if we are talking about the army. And the main thing that regular units do is shelling.
también están estos, los chechenos:
The most enigmatic participants in the conflict are the Rosgvardia. They also include the "Kadyrovites", who, judging by Ramzan's statements, will soon be back at the front again. Well, bushmen, look out, this time you're definitely finished.
The Rosgvardiya is not designed for warfare. They have no tanks or BMPs, only armoured vehicles like Tigers and Typhoons, which can be killed by almost anything.
To summarise: The Russian army in Ukraine is not a single mechanism, but several factions with their own commanders, control system and structure. Some have heavy weaponry. Others do not. Some have only transport, while others are bumming around campfires without socks.
y esto es solo el punto A
en fin, ahí os dejo el hilazo
