And a senior U.S. defense official told Fox News correspondent Jennifer Griffin that the Russian military is not moving or fighting at night: Most movement starts just before dawn and occurs during the day because they don’t have night vision and are not trained in night vision, which contributed to slower than expected progress.

This was 3 weeks ago. They are fighting a war like its 1960 not 2022.

This does raise a question; at the height of the Iraq war when we had 200k+ troops there, how much that would be more specialized Green Berets/Rangers? It couldn't have been more than 2k or so right?

Not sure on those troop numbers. That 2k could be in the ballpark, though.

I can understand how the average grunt wouldn't have NVG's, but I'd bet that equipment was a collection of battlefield pickups and not necessarily from "SF-type" troops.

Daily normal social situations must drive you a bit crazy. Did they really mean it was nice to see me? Should we or should we not get together soon?

Yes, losing port cities and Eastern half of the country = winning.

Maybe it's a thread where most of us hope Putin has his throat cut.

Well Ukraine is on the verge of encircling approximately 1/4th of Russia’s invasion force.

The only city Ukraine has lost is Kherson and it’s not a port city. Mariupol is still holding out and Russia’s army is 80 miles away from Odessa and falling back. If you look at the map posted two pages back, you will see that Russia’s control of the eastern part of Ukraine is much less than expected and they are nowhere close to controlling the eastern part of Ukraine.

Looks like they diverted some of the Dnieper River into the Irpin River. Some before and after pics.

Maybe I’ve missed it, but has “Anonymous” ever done anything that had a real world effect on anything?

Every Eastern and Southern City in Ukraine is getting bombed out and destroyed. Mariupol is basically a crater.
