The notion that the Russians are back to their Soviet WWII tactics of "human wave" attack is even more ludicrous and another example of establishment media propaganda. Their tactics are based mostly on ISR which is basically locate and identify the enemy and smash him with stand off weaponry. If human wave tactics are being employed it's by the Ukrainians.

Do you think the Russians are going to pull out all stops, use every weapon and tactic they have in Ukraine, when the specter of a NATO incursion is obviously a major consideration for them? Their stockpiles are there for a possible future conflict with NATO, That's called contingency planning.

MAGA!

TreeMutt,

Did you watch the video starting at 55 seconds where the Russian propogandist actually talked about pulling T-34's off war monuments and sending many thousands of them to Ukraine? If not watch the video, it's quite humorous of the current propaganda war. If the absurdity of this went over your head, there's a thread on good single malt whiskey's that might help.

I did watch it, but only once...."removing tanks from monument plinths"? I think the dude is being sarcastic...didn't he say "very inappropriate jokes by propagandists that we will be removing T34s from monuments" Then the other guy chimed in sarcastically, like yeah, we could do it if we wanted to.

All I saw were railcar loads of T55s moving in some direction.

But again, people believe what they want to believe.

MMAGA!
