    Trademarks from Putin:
    • Novichok
    • Falling out of windows from at least 4th to 6th floors high (for optimal result)

    I though they were falling off 1st story windows and breaking their necks?

    After the failed attempt to kill Navalny with Novichok, Putin ordered to use only floor 4 and higher, preferable the landing area should be concrete. LOL.

  10. It's a good article but there is also room to note that many military analysts also believe that those tanks are a source of vulnerability for the Russians. The Ukrainians do not have the troops to do house to house combat so the tanks make a good target to take out a crew of four or five without losing men. The American javelins have overperformed and now the Ukrainians have a home grown version that seems to be doing equally well.

    Russia's strength is in its missiles. Getting troops to be effective or keeping supply lines going or keeping anything mechanized up and running is not their strong point and catches up with them. Some analysts think that it would be a disaster for the Russians to try to leave the Donbass and cut across country to got to Kiev with tanks and other mechanized carriers. The deeper they go into the country the harder it is for trucks to keep running back and forth to the diminishing number of supply depots near the rails in the Donbass. The Ukrainians will cut them off and take out the tanks or the tanks will stall on their own. We saw some of that early on in the failed attack on Kiev- lots and lots of tanks and equipment just abandoned - due to either fuel or mechanical problems. If a tank is abandoned due to lack of fuel, then fine, that just became a Ukrainian tank. Just requires fuel and a little spray paint to cover up the Z.

    And then of course there is the problem of supplying ammo for those tanks. Probably things are good there for the Russians until the end of the year but then what? And I am being generous by saying until the end of the year. Showing strain already.
