Re: Russian-Ukrainian War: Combat Tactics & Strategy

No one would have objected to that course of action in Russia. If the terms following the mutiny were an exile to Belarus. Then the meeti...

An interesting bit of data from Russian sources.
Until Sept 22, there were less than 10 strikes a day of Lancet drones. (drone hitting the target).
In June, there were 55 and so far in July, 89. A 10 fold increase from last year.
