The Russians Spent Months Forming A New Army Corps. It Lasted Days in Ukraine.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

The Kremlin this summer scrambled to form a new army corps, seeking replacements for 80,000 troops injured or killed in Ukraine and 5,000 wrecked or captured vehicles.

The 3rd Army Corps on paper is a powerful force, with several brigades encompassing 10,000 troops in a dozen or more battalions equipped with hundreds of T-80 and T-90 tanks and other vehicles.

But it’s a hollow formation, staffed by old, unfit volunteers including drug and alcohol addicts. And when the 3rd AC’s vanguard rushed to northeastern Ukraine’s Kharkiv Oblast last week in a desperate bid to block a Ukrainian counteroffensive, the corps just ... melted away.

The 3rd AC, based in Mulino, 200 miles east of Moscow, represents the Kremlin’s best effort to make good its deepening losses after 200 days of fighting in Ukraine. That the 3rd AC failed to make any difference in Ukraine is very bad news for the Russian war effort. It’s not going to get easier for the Russian army to stand up additional formations.

1. Desperation makes a man crazy.

After all his barking dogs built up the invasion as a guaranteed overnight success, Pootler has no way to turn this into a win, no matter who writes the history books and TV chat show scripts or how many enemies he has murdered.

2. Sounds like Hitler

scraping the bottom of the barrel for the Battle of the Bulge counter offensive.

5. Russia is full of monsters.....

In their case, the ultra right wing won and fully dominates their power structures.

It's what Magats want here.
