I have to believe that the average Russian soldier is thinking “what the F are we doing?” That doesn’t make for great combat effectiveness.

I wonder why Ukraine is not using IEDs against these convoys. Is that just a middle eastern thing?

4 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

why use IED when you can fire a Javelin form the relative safety of a km or two away.

4 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

I think IEDs would mess with their heads and the a lot of Russians would be like, 'Fuck this, I'm walking to Poland." Would also slow them.

4 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

Because Ukraine has a proper military force equipped with actual weaponry. No need for an IED when you've got every boomtube in the world.

Specifically diesel or domestic fuel oil. I’d guess it’s diesel, but given Russian logistics, I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s heating oil.
