That first one is legitimately hilarious. We would fund them for 5 centuries at this rate. This is the best return on investment our military spending has ever achieved.

Question:  as they reach the border in areas, don’t they need to leave a defensive force there to hold it, thereby having fewer assets to advance in other areas?

Not really. They can’t post up every mile of the border. US intel will let them know where they need to be.

Yes, but you need more troops to attack than you do to defend. The forces they are using to counterattack are considerably larger than the ones they will need to leave dug into defensive positions.

Plus they have US/NATO/Five Eyes watching their 6. If Russia starts to mass troops in those areas again, the Ukrainians will know before some of the Russian officers do.

They don't need to hold if they are retreating. Just keep recon teams out there to watch. This is just a small victory but symbolic.

Ukraine also has a lot of Territorial Defense Forces or whatever, basically local National Guard, that they leave in areas when the regular troops move out, and those folks would be more than enough to slow down the Russians in the short term.  They are using a lot of them north of Kyiv along the border with Belarus, to free up the best-trained and best-equipped Ukrainians troops to move east/south.

The Ukrainian Boy Scouts armed with anti-tank missles would be enough to slow them down..

In regards to that KC-135 earlier - not the best of translations (and the file photo they used led to some confusion).

A day after Finnish leaders announced plans to seek Nato membership, a United States KC-135 Stratotanker flew the length of the country with the intention of refuelling four US military planes in Finnish airspace. The refuelling plane set off from RAF Mildenhall airbase in southeast England and flew along the Norwegian coast before heading east toward Finnish Lapland.

Around 1 pm, the refuelling plane was flying slowly over southern Lapland at an altitude of about 6,000 metres. The plane eventually left Finnish airspace, heading south toward Estonia, a Nato member since 2004.

The KC-135 had it's transponder on, the four aircraft it was refueling did not, and no US aircraft had landed in Finland - some are speculating that, putting aside the obvious symbolism of the USAF tanker flying over Finland, that it may have been refueling Finnish aircraft as part of an exercise.

Blows away what we did in Afghanistan in the 1980s, and that little venture helped crater the Soviet economy/military, as well as the Soviet people's confidence in their leadership and military.  There was more to the downfall of the Soviet Union than that, but it sure helped.

Seeing how Russians left their own dead abandoned like used condoms all over Ukraine until somebody else buried them, I imagine the roads back on the Belarus and Russian side are littered with abandoned ambulances, shot-up trucks that gave up the ghost, and wounded guys who lay down to rest and never got back up again. Not to mention lots of burn wound guys with no ears. Got to dampen the ardor of any second wave.

Ukraine should take all the abandoned Russian corpses and prop them up to make Russia think there's some massive Ukraine force about to attack to sucker them in to a turkey shoot. 

Nah. Nail them to trees or impale them on spikes.
If thats too much work, cut their heads off and burn their corpses. Then launch them into belarus. As a reminder of Russian power.

SIAP but this sunroof grenade drop is the most impressive drone video I’ve seen yet



Not sorry if already discussed here but is there small arms drone capabilities? Seems like a 300 win mag mounted on a smallish drone could clean some of those fuckers up nicely.

Suppressed 300BLK with big subsonics would be almost unfair from ~200 meters up. You could probably drop 2-3 orcs before the rest even figured out something was going on.
