If you go into an enemy trench you kill everything which isn't making it very clear that it wants to surrender. This is no video game. And if you are on a command operation you don't even take prisoners if that would jeopardize the operation. Trenches look very clean. I wouldn't be surprised if this is an HQ structure somewhere back of first line.
My bet would be there is only talk between Poland and Israel. Poland takes the 200 Merkavas and sents 200 tanks out of their arsenal to Ukraine. I don't see Israel allowing Ukraine to use Merkavas. However we will know for sure once the deal is fixed.
Correct. We have already seen other higher ranked ex-military figures been completely off or following an agenda. MacGregor or the german ex-General Vad to name only a few. This is also a war about dominance in the information space.
Thats why I advise to judge his output on the merit of its quality. Every online figure on twitter or youtube has to. They all are after earning money with their accounts. Hence all of them have an agenda, this way or the other.
