Airborne units are not meant to partake in heavy, multi-day fighting. As a former member of the 82nd myself, we were, AT MOST going to sustain ourselves for 48 (MAYBE 72) hours before "follow-on" forces arrived and reinforced or replaced us. Seizing an airfield is one thing but seizing and holding a TOWN is a completely other matter. Even if our entire BCT jumped in, we would not have the manpower (or fire power) to take and hold a city! That's insane!

This highlights the difference between democracies and dictatorships, between liberals and conservatives, between good and evil! Conservativism is a disorder caused by traumatic events in early childhood: trauma, accidents, neglect, and all kinds of abuse. Anything that causes fear and triggers the amygdala (the brain's fear center) leads to the formation of conservatives. Here's a list of reputable sources that explain this phenomena... The antivaxxers, the anti-maskers, the insurrectionists, those who have been displaying inappropriate behavior are very damaged people. When babies aren't protected, loved, and cared for properly they experience fear and it reshapes their brains. Their amygdalas are triggered by trauma, neglect, and abuse, becoming overly large and affects their thoughts and behaviors negatively. The abhorrent behavior seen on January 6th, the Karen's behaving hysterically, etc are people who have experienced horrors in one shape or another early in their lives and can't cope with reality very well. They're annoying, they're irritating, their behavior is disgusting, but that's because they are physiologically and psychologically damaged people. Here are reliable sources that explain and demonstrate this phenomenon... Trauma, neglect, and/or abuse in early childhood overstimulates the amygdala (the brain's fear center) causing it to grow huge and results in aberrant thoughts and behaviors. This is damage you can LITERALLY SEE IN A BRAIN SCAN! Read the peer reviewed research on the fMRI differences between conservatives and liberals. Here's a little help; conservatives have larger amygdalas and liberals have larger anterior cingulate cortexes. Amygdala = fear. Anterior cingulate cortex= higher level, complex thinking.

They don't care about the lives of anyone but themselves.

Here is the thing about elite units: They are extremely good and extremely valuable for the purpose that they are designed for. This is a parachute/ airborne regiment equipped with lightly armored vehicles, which is elite in deploying quickly and launch an organized attack with short preparation time to accomplish a specific task like taking a certain enemy position. It is not the first time in history that such a unit was effectively dissolved by having been given a task where their elite capabilities are neither required nor matter. For the broader task that was given, they were simply the wrong choice. When you need numbers and a variety of capabilites and instead you send one elite division, it is bound to end in a catastrophe.

It's much easier to win if they are civilised & have roads already built because they wouldn't want bloodshed in the first place and submit willingly. Srsly, look at world history.

General rule of thumb regarding casualties - get the number of killed in action then multiply it by three to get the number of wounded. So with about a hundred killed and three hundred wounded from a regiment of 1,500 is approximately a casualty rate of 25 percent. Even for elite units, casualty rates at that level, plus the morale impact of the loss of its commander and the likely loss of equipment in combat, this unit is probably combat ineffective thus necessitating its withdrawal to a rear area for reconstitution.

At 40% casualties, most formations cease to function. They generally either go to ground, and do well to hold position, or will rout or even disperse. If the casualties really did reach one third, then I’m not surprised to hear the Ukrainians believe they destroyed the unit. Enemy casualties are almost always over estimated.

@@user-yi6ou2qm7g Putinbot - I realise for you I need to add extra words. DON'T INVADE PEACEFUL DEMOCRATIC COUNTRIES. Your Putin-filters may have caused you to miss certain key facts, such as 9/11 and the invasion of Kuwait by Iraq. I would suggest you Google those but, of course, your dictator says you're not allowed free access to the Internet in case you discover the truth about things, and realise how much you are being lied to. If only you knew how nice it is to live in a free democracy. #StandWithUkraine 🇺🇦 🇬🇧

I get what your trying to do, but I guess I am having severe anxiety with Russia nuking us in a war... That's why I don't want us to anger Russia to much

@@davidjames2145 Your society is built on the suffering of others. I see what is happening both on one side and on the other. This whole conflict happened because of the actions of your government. After all, you were asked to give security guarantees. Not to expand NATO to the east. Now reap the fruits of your shitocracy.

This type of news is what journalists are supposed to do. Not cheerleading about the war or the weapons used in it.

It should include as many aspects as possible.

Intro music is angels singing.

And what for ?!! One man Ambitions to have his name in history books as greatest czar!!

Mark Urban is a top journalist. He is even more impressive when providing strategic, geopolitical analysis. In five minutes or so this captures the complete futility of Putins war and the terrible cost his own people are paying. Some patriot.

I wish we had journalists in the US, must be nice.

I got bile in my throat when the Russia Deputy Minister of Defense talked about Nazis. His words are an insult to people who have died to the true Nazis in the Second World War including million of his own Russian countrymen. At some base level those soldiers of 331st must have known that they were acting like the German did in WW2. Killing of civilians , looting and reports of some raping. That they invaded a country that did not want them there , that they are the oppressive "orcs" , that they are on the wrong side of history. A solider at a personal level cannot use the excusing of just following orders to avoid his own personal responsibility.

@Mitthenstein "We have very clear evidence that they didn’t come over to attack citizens." kzread.info/dash/bejne/eoKIstt6o7DTqNY.html I can give you more. You need to get your information not only from Russian State TV. Like a good propagandist you add some grains of truth in your many statements. Best lessons of life learnt is don't waste a lot of time trying to inform or change people that are incapable of change. Speak your words of true and let history judge you in time :)

@Mitthenstein Surprising we might agree on a lot of subjects. You may be educated and its good that you question things and not look at things at face value but please please if you can take anything from this conversation. Worse than being stupid you are illogical as stupidity is just a lack of information while being illogical is a lack of a structed thought process. When you see direct evidence that comes to you that contradicts your world view and you cant logically explain it you need to rethink your thought process when you say illogical things to defend your current position. Also its good to embrace self doubt in your beliefs and knowledge and re examine them from a different point of view. I do. Personal note I enjoyed this conversation and thanks for your time that you spend writing it. Its good that we can this have this discussions at a intellectual level without base personal and emotional attacks. At first thought you were a Russian propagandist , its good that you have corrected me :)

I hope they can save

There was an intercept of one of them telling someone there were only 400 left and that was one or two weeks ago.
