    Their hands were in front of them but I'm not sure they were surrendering.  They were rushing forward.  I think they were blindly fleeing.  If they were surrendering I'd expect them to come forward slowly.  Hard to say. 

    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.

    For 4-5 days. Today at 19:00 General Staff again claimed Ka-52 was shot down. The fifth. But still no evidences. Russian TGs like FighterBomber and other tied with helicopters also keep silence

    Good news, but if they really operate 10 klicks behind the bomb-line then it will be a while until we'll see some evidence.

    If they are going to irritate the Russian's this much they might as well start selling the Ukrainians everything. I mean there is a LONG list of Israeli stuff the Ukrainians would like to have, starting with a quarter of the rather large stockpile of Spike missiles held by various European countries.

    Assuming this isn't vaporware do we have any idea of the actual plan? Are the Merkavas going straight to Ukraine? Or is Poland going to take the Merkavas and send Ukraine some vast percentage of what they have in inventory. The Poles do have a whole new army on order after all.

    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.

    However, he's not a nobody even if his military background isn't particularly applicable to strategic analysis.

    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.

    FFS how many of these guys have come out of the woodwork in the last 18 months?  1) his claimed experience is impossible to verify because - classified. 2) what in the hell does a Seal Team Six NCO know about high intensity peer-conventional conflict(?), and 3) if he was what he says he was, and is still hooked into western intel...he should know better than posting updated based on that on freakin Twitter.

    Claiming SF gets a lot of views but it that experience has little to do with the actual war unless they have served forward in Ukraine...and they cannot talk about it if they have.  I have watched a lot of guys with SF patches pretending thy know what they are talking about...and they do not.  Even the trail of former Generals are often off the mark because this war is so far outside the experience of any western military since Korea.  At this point all we can do is make best guesses by applying basic military assessments.  I have seen so much weird in this war that I feel completely lost at times.

    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.

    AMRAAMs by look-down radar from 50km is more the speed we're talking. Beyond Visual Range. 

    Exactly. Enforcing a No-Fly zone up to 50 klicks beyond the bomb-line by look-down/shoot-down capability would be perfect. But we are not there yet.
