Can I get a rundown of which events?
Footage came out of a Ukr Stryker trying to literally run down Rus infantry in an open field because they ran out of ammo, presumably for the RWS. Supposedly there was a crewman hanging out one of the hatches shooting at them too.
They were not only trying to run them down - three video showed that the driver downed two ruzzkis, literally.
We really should just give UKR whatever they want. I think they would be able to take Moscow.
How do you end up in an open field under fire, and in a situation where a vehicle can just run you over?
There's a lot of weirdness to go around in this conflict. One of the weird aspects I noticed is that a lot of the combat footage that is made public nowadays is of these relatively close-range, small-scale brawls out in the sticks. Never more than a dozen people on either side, never more than 1-2 armored vehicles. It kind of flies in the face of modern combined arms doctrine that the US enjoys.
Released combat footage is a very small lens into this admittedly, but it seems like that's how the war is being fought now. Handfuls of troops operating almost independently, bounding between wooded thickets, gaining and losing meters, and slugging it out with the other side doing the same thing along the way.
I guess that's a response to the size of the front lines, and how many people each side has to man them.
I suspect you'd see something much more like US style battle where Ukraine is actually gaining ground.
No, but I could give you a run-over
