I'd love to see them try.

Poland active personnel: 120,000 (NATO equipment)

Belarus active personnel: 62,000 (Aging soviet-era equipment)

95% of Belarus doesn't want hostilities with Ukraine, let alone Poland.

During the "operational pause" (lack of a major advance due to lack of manpower), Russia has resorted to amassing "reserve forces" in antiqued, poorly-armored MT-LBs.  If you thought the T-62s were insufficient, just wait till you get a load of these.

These things were first made in '50s. And while both sides have used them in this conflict, until now, they've always been used in support roles and kept away from the front lines.  Now we're going to see why.

This has got to be the most stereotypically Russian "solution" to the stalled invasion possible: just throw more men at 'em and as poorly provisioned as possible.  Pretty much guaranteed extremely heavy losses with little/no payoff.  No wonder they're using convicts.

I do wonder how much satellite intelligence about Russian troop placements is being provided by the US/West?

A LOT.  Reconnaissance with spy planes, spy drones, and my personal favorite, spy satellites.  As well as...clandestine means...

US intel isn't perfect by a long shot, but it is amazing at tracking tanks and artillery/missile trajectories.  Russian missile launches and convoy movements are especially noticeable.  Russians hide their APCs in bushes or behind buildings like it matters at all lol.

Ammo depot cooking off in Luhansk

Shows the true scale of the destruction wrought by HIMARS

Russia has lot less shells to hurl at civilians.

Russian tank offensive thwarted, Russia losses entire tank company (9 tanks)

In the footage, a z-tank drives to where 4 other z-tanks are destroyed (nothing suspicious there at all) and runs right over an anti-tank mine right next to a destroyed tank.  Man, what are the odds???

The free world is so lucky that these guys do a lot of moronic stuff to hurt their own war effort.

Speaking of moronic, another red on red incident

A DPR battallion was effectively wiped out after Russian forces mistakenly identified it as an enemy and open fire.

In the near future, DPR/LDP might want to rethink their alliances.  Because Ukrainian forces are going to be bringing a world of hurt in their direction and they can either bury the Russians or be buried with them.
