Russo-Ukrainian War 2014-23 and Invasion

[DGuller]

Ukrainians reported yesterday that the hit a major command center with 50 officers inside.  Today they're reporting that two generals are dead and one critically injured, though they're not named yet.  Ukrainians have been smart to not over-promise and under-deliver so far, so hopefully they have the right intel.

Ok, now they're just showing off.

[Legbiter]

We sent 4.

Apparently that's 10% of our arsenal.

What a joke.

Never mind the artillery platforms, Canada sent the Ukrainians Excalibur artillery shells that can take out Russian c&c 25 miles away.  And voilá, the Ukrainians add 2 more Russian generals to the pile.

[Syt]

So Germany ok'ed (finally) the export of a bunch of old Marder APCs (sexy, sexy, Marders ) ... but the ammo for those is Made in Switzerland, and the mountain dwarves have apparently vetoed the re-export now. 

[Threviel]

Aha, so that's why the krauts can send them... Probably conveniently forgetting their own ammunition stockpiles...

[Admiral Yi]

If the Swiss sold that stockpile with an end-use agreement they would need to OK the transfer.

[Threviel]

Ahh, even better. The krauts can seem to help, but actually not help. Perfect for them.

[Admiral Yi]

I would hate to accuse Germany of bad faith without some actual evidence.

I wonder if killing Russian generals is actually helping.

I mean, given the overall competence shown by the Russian command so far, maybe it is better to keep them alive ...

The replacements are likely to be even worse. The last thing Putin wants right now is generals who don't owe him everything.

Quite surprised tbh. Switzerland has been very unneutral so far in this war..
Hopefully just red tape they can clear up soon

The combat intensity seems to be increasing in the last few days...from the Ukrainian side. They're claiming 400-500 Russian casualties per day now (grain of salt). Ukrainians at this rate go on the offensive in a months' time.

[Grey Fox]

Killing Generals is always a good thing. Keep the hierarchy from learning any lessons.

[Legbiter]

Yeah Russian generals seem to be doing the job a colonel would do in NATO armies (unfucking a situation at or close to the front).

Two more general officers taking dirt naps.
