Leading a fleet of 550 Slavic ships, Racibor defeated the Norse and razed the city to the ground. Many historians believe that this raid played a critical role in ending the Scandinavian Viking age.

For example, Ukraine is trying to espouse the Western approach where NCOs and junior ranks have a lot of responsibility delegated to them, meanwhile Russia has stuck with the top-heavy Soviet approach with ineffective NCOs and junior ranks. That's an entirely different approach to military education, training, role delegation, value of soldiers' lives, and whatever else.

I'm not sure the 25th airborne brigade has tanks, rather it is listed that they have an anti-tank company. Also, I'm not sure if the 45th still exists. It hasn't been spotted yet and one of its prior battalions have been moved to the 35th naval infantry brigade.

    Excellent video, especially as of September 10, 2022 as the world watches the Ukrainian counter-offensive east of Kharkiv. The units mentioned in this video (92nd Mech brigade with 1 tank battalion, the 25th Airborne and 80th Air Assault Brigade with each a tank company) (and presuming at full strength for the purpose of this counter-offensive), we are talking about 66 tanks supported by mechanized and motorized APC's and well supported by self propelled artillery and MRL. I cannot help but notice that this force is a microcosm parallel to the V Corps force which advanced onto Baghdad in 2003. The 3rd ID, 101st Air Assault Division and 2 airborne brigades was a combined arms force of air assault, paratroops and mechanized troops (not including the Brit's 1st Armoured Division). This video has been helpful in assessing how such a small divisional sized force (but composed of Ukraine's best troops) has been able to penetrate the Russian lines and strike deep into the rear. May they succeed in their mission. Great job with your observations and the TO&E for Ukrainian armor.

    This is the anti-fragmentation armor of the turret. The experience of the war in the Donbass showed that a stray fragment flying under the turret can turn an MBT into a tank destroyer with a fixed tank turret. And these skirts also cover the heating parts of the tank from thermal imagers. It does not work against modern thermal imagers, but against the old Soviet devices, which all the main opponents of Ukraine are armed with, this is enough.

UA command structure(high command>military districts>brigades) was designed for low intensity oparations like war in Donbas where military districts were responsible for delagating brigates and battalions to ATO. And ATO command coordinated no more than equivalent of 1.5-2 divisions doing mostly garrison duties stretched on fairly small front. Bigger brigades where more independent, had bigger punch, could cover more area and fight longer. And no middle menagement level meant that whole command chain was much shorter. Now situation is completely different. Your front is not stretched around couple of counties but cuts whole damn country in half with hundrets of different units both Army, National Guard, Territorial Defence etc engaded on the frontlines . While bigger, more potent brigades proved to be a good idea, no division and corp level not. With no middle management much of this responsibility falls on the military districts and central command which is a big problem because they weren't designed for that. So the supposed shorter chain of command is now overflowed. You mentioned US Army before.

    couple of points: 1. Bulats and Oplots (mainy Oplot's) copeted with nevest modern tanks on par (especially Russian), but inability to ensure that contracts will be fullfilled made the clients chose Leopard or T72 (those two usual suspects won most of the competitions). Guess which country on Gasprom's payroll and guess which country puppeteered it's smaller neighbour's government?))) The reason there's not manu Bulats, that they require sophisticated equipment and at the cost of building one Bulat, we can repair and update 4 to 6 T-64 tanks. Considering the state in which Yanukovich and his team left the army when he fled to russia, it's obvious choice to field 5 older but yet reliable and effective tanks, cheap in repair (if we compare), than 1 Bulat, even if the latter proved to be effective war machine. 2. "Infamous?" Those "infamous" people defended Mariupil against wastly superior numbers of soldiers fielded by the country, which blames them for about anything that goes in this world (still have no clue how they didn't blame the regiment in the Assad's chemical attacks). 3. National Guards of Ukraine are military branch, which is responsible for providing national security. That's why they trained by nato standards. That's why they have tank brigades. That's why they were one of the first responders when russians began to land paratroopers near Kyiv. 4. Since the Crimea was occupied by russia, we had no illusions and prepared, in tactics and in training. Heavy losses of the first stage of russo-ukrainian war (2014-2015, war is currently ongoing) helped us to sber up and completely rebuild entire logistics and eliminate rats stealing from military funding. We barely scraped off on the shoulders of volunteers back then (yep, that, as you called, "infamous" regiment deoccupied Mariupil without blodshed) and took the agression pretty close to the chest, which pays off today. World gave us 72 hours. We disagreed. P.S. Today they bomber shopping mall in Kremenchuk. Estimatedly about 1000 civilians were there.

    If the DP, ST, and Senior Starshina are not outfitted with a Tank as standard, then the Ukrainian system is not NATO-based, but may be influenced by factors such as being able to maintain a level of combat power with fewer units, standardization of unit sizes, and ease of operational directives to be tasked to multiple units rather than multiple units tasked to a single operational directive. At the same time, it still sounds like Ukraine was heavily influenced by Eastern Doctrines which their Tanks, Vehicles, and Air Units were all established with in the first place. Unlike Poland which uses a mix of East and West, though, it is currently opting for both Domestic and Western Standardization. Now if only we had some M60-200-120S Tanks sitting around. While a four-person Tank, it's roughly same era and theoretically could have its gun swapped for a 125mm or keep the 120mm.

    I only know the situation in one brigade, the 59th Motorized Brigade, but I know for a fact that it had 3 tanks per platoon on the first day of the invasion and I doubt they have more than that now. Should be 4 doctrinally but anyone familiar with the state of the military knows units can be far from the doctrinal standards especially, it seems, motorized brigades but don't quote me on that. Perhaps the new commander of the 59th, Colonel Vadym Sukharevsky, will improve that to 4 per platoon and really bring it up to snuff like he did with the 503rd Independent Marine Battalion when in 2016 he took over what was an empty husk of a battalion with personnel that were 5th and 6th wave draftees rather than marines, but it'll be harder to do that again during such intense combat operations as there are in 2022. Here's an interview with a Ukrainian tank company commander from the 59th and he mentions a number of times that they had 3 tanks per platoon. He also mentions at least once that the tank company had 10 tanks which is 3 per platoon plus 1 commander's tank. I don't think there's a translation for the interview though. kzread.info/dash/bejne/lGaqt9h6qbO7mtI.html

More Soviet tanks from NATO countries, Polish PT-91s and second hand Leopards seem like obvious candidates. Ukraine is not going to be in a position to buy new tanks for a while. I think its also possible that if the conflict ends with Ukraine in a favourable negotiating position it's possible equipment from Russian stocks could get handed over as reperations, since Russia is not going to be in a strong economic position for a while either.

Its the same you saw with RU BTGs - too light on infantry to support the armor... and it didn't help that they had left most of their infantry because they were conscripts. Also - as soon as a breakthrough is achieved, it is the purpose of the tank brigades to exploit a breakthrough... in which case they may have to wait for the mechanized infantry brigades to catch up. as the infantry will be spread thin securing the artillery, armor, AA etc. As far as i recall a US tank brigade has equal or more infantry companies than tank companies.
