Though, I'm pretty sure the ICRC considers these interviews and video of PoWs against the Genova Conventions.

Why do people do this? What's more likely, NBC has sources in UK/France with real information or Montenegro with no information
Pigeon shooting.
It's free experience and training for cadets of the Ukrainian army.
You are correct. CIA and other western equivalents have been there for years leading up to this.
There's likely thousands of deniable assets from the west running around on the ground helping out however they can.
He'll control regions most likely, for him a democratically broken Ukraine is still a win even if he can't occupy the whole country. He just didn't want it to join NATO and unless someone stops him we're likely looking at a broken up country with no functioning central government
From what I understand, its easier to retreat and regroupd, then attempt to re-take, vs trying to keep holding the line.
Honestly, just imagine what these numbers are going to look like if Russia succeeds in taking Kyiv.
No way the Ukranian people are just going to stop fighting. It's already awful and going to be far, far worse by the time this ordeal is done. Which, one way or the other, ends with Russia leaving in defeat.
I think if they had UK or French source they would say it, frankly.
If Ukrainians can visually identify incoming planes before firing they will just use MANPADs on these. That way they don't expose more static AA and waste that kind AA ammo on these.
Exactly. At some point, you drop the uniforms, blend in again, or reposition outside and wait.
This is heartbreaking, the kid has a damn kids movie t-shirt on
Kherson has an important bridge. The plan is likely to let them bring another column across and then blow it, trapping those Russians. Has already happened several times elsewhere.
Okay so NBC senior reporter is using Montenegro with zero information

If you count Yurovsky getting a fat Moscow City Cheka promotion from Lenin for the killing of Nicholas II, yeah. Don't know if that counts as a bounty though.

You following up with a source, or just tales from your ass?
Plus they'll have infantry on the ground well in advance of any advanced as system who would act as spotters. There's quite a difference between this and... Well, anything modern.
Only thing I can think of is they're used for paratroop training, so they could try small drops of specialised troops to harass and target specific places.
The Pentagon just had a briefing 30 mins ago, where most of these comments are coming from. It's not a mystery.
Russia Appears To Be Preparing Its Ancient An-2 Biplanes For War In Ukraine

So if you're piloting one of these, your job is to get hit? Which century is this?
Probably used them as cannon fodder to gauge Ukrainian defence capabilities.
Read the staff post. Don't post rumors without sources.
Maybe they want to airdrop supply with them?
I am still having a hard time believing they are really going to use them in Ukraine.
I live in Chantilly in a HOA where probably 75% of my neighbors are TSC (live behind the NGO buildings) I can tell you they're all busy as shit and I haven't seen them outside with their kids since this all started.
There are many countries in Europe. Not all receive the same information, even if they're in NATO.
I admit I am absolutely skeptical to a fault, especially after Afghanistan. But fog of war and all that - obtaining numbers is hard.
The Pentagon briefing said almost 6000? Then I retract my statements.

this looks like the kinda shit they should have been doing a week or two prior to invading…
Since WWI, there have been many technological advances to help determine how strong your enemy is, before you have to send an 18 year old kid charging the enemy lines to see where he gets shot from.
But since Russia seems to be fighting this war like the last 100 years haven't happened…
If that was the case then Russians wouldn't be throwing paratroopers and spetnaz units into their deaths constantly.
Ah, I wasn't sure if it's unmanned, but that makes a lot more sense.
All those huge columns of smoldering convoys had people inside them
dat timing
Still amazing some people still try to prop up the Chechens as some elite force. The majority of their combat experience seems to be low level counter insurgency against their own people. It's not like any ones embedded with Russian "mercenaries" have exactly proven themselves either with getting either bombed by the US in Syria or driven out of the west in Libya.

Museum-ass planes
Db2 is IBM.
Not sure how many Russian companies use Oracle databases, but it also likely means Russian contractors are no longer allowed. That is likely not an insignificant work force.
No way to celebrate this. It's horrible all around because many of them had no idea they were going to war.
I apologise, I thought it was okay to be mentioned as I recalled it being posted in here before.
I won't amend my post as it's been quoted, a mod can do that if need be.
