With a new offensive underway, will the Russian learn from previous mistake and increase the logistical sustainment model?

Slovakian artist Rado Javor, illustrator of Total War games series issiued two new artworks about the war in Ukraine. Recently he has drew series "seasons in Ukraine" about war of 2014-2015.
Seasons:
Spring in Ukraine (fighting around Sloviansk)

Summer in Ukraine (Ukrainian July offensive)

Autumn in Ukraine

Winter in Ukraine (Donetsk airport)

Also two other artworks
Sunflower fields (tank ram of sen.lt Abramovych 12th of August 2014)

Winter war (campaign of winter 2015)

And new arts:
The general

Moskva

More Ukrainian trolling
 

If my experience of gunnners is anything to go by they would probably reply:
Massed Infantry - Defeated by artillery
Machine Gun - Defeated by artillery
Tanks - Defeated by anti-tank artillery
Heavy tanks - Defeated by better anti-tank artillery (some of which may take the form of missiles)
ATGM - Defeated by artillery + drones
Drones - Defeated by AA artillery
EW AAA Light UGV Tank - To be defeated by precision artillery
Artillety - Defeated by ...nobody defeats artillery...Ubique.
 

LOL! Such idiots...

Dude you serious? Have you missed at least the last 8 years? Russian definition of being nazi is speaking Ukrainian. Literally. It's literally written by putin's own personal ideologist in that RIAN article like that. Nazis speak Ukrainian. Nazi ideology is having a Ukrainian passport. And their demands are for Ukrainians to cease existing - which is literally what "denazification" means.

This is the typical story, and is wildly innacurate. It's an "enhanced radiation weapon". The idea behind it is that the enhanced radiation will penetrate the thick armor of tanks, and yes, kill or incapacitate the crew. However, they are STILL nuclear weapons, with massive blast effects. The "neutron bombs" planned were about the same power as normal thermal fission weapons of the time. They just cause LESS destruction than a comparable thermal fission weapon of the same size, but LESS is a very nebulous term when you are talking about multiple KT range nuclear weapons. Hiroshima and Nagasaki were 10-20KT weapons. A neutron weapon would cause maybe 30%-50% the blast yield of those. Dwell on that nugget for a while.
There is no leave the cities and towns intact unless the weapons are detonated in the middle of nowhere. 
Another point is that gamma rays are like extremely high energy X-rays. Neutrons are bullets. AND they activate elements making them radioactive. Steel and it's constituent alloys, for example (Iron, cobalt, manganese). They then become radioactive with varying half lives depending on isotopes. The Cobalt used in hardened steels is the most concern because of its 5.27 year half life. Most of the others are in the neighborhood of an hour to 6 weeks or so. 
Since there is blast there is also downwind fallout. Prevailing weather I believe, is not favorable to the Russians for fallout (but do they even care, really?)
Anyway, the whole neutron bomb leaving the infrastructure intact stuff is a wild exaggeration.

Too funny not to repost it here.

Re: the journos and the cat.
The cat was probably there for 10 minutes, certainly the correspondents couldn't expect it to hang around. So as an interlude from the horror, it was probably welcome. The horror was going to still be there once the cat left. Many people like cats. Some people like cats a lot. Cats make stories people read. Good stories keep people engaged with the affairs that are being reported as "cat-related". Is this a bad thing? I don't think it is. All hail our feline overlords.

It's strange. Some people in this thread have decried press taking a picture of a cat as representative of vacuous MSM manipulation. But they don't seem to mind being manipulated by a picture of the press taking a picture of a cat. That picture was a snapshot, a moment in time. I highly doubt that people who have risked their lives to actually be there would spend their whole time photographing just a cat. How do you rabidly photograph anyway?
But war is conducted by humans and it is human to be drawn to life and comforted by it among such tragic destruction. Maybe it even helps with morale.
Here is another thread about a cat. By an adviser to the Minister of Internal Affairs of Ukraine. I suppose he should be doing more important things too than being compassionate to an innocent creature.

Some facts:
UK left the EU not NATO. EU has 27 members. NATO has 30 members. The EU has no say on what weapons member states' supply Ukraine.  
  Last fact:
     5. Increased bureaucracy for UK, that has created "friction" with moving goods around EU, is a direct consequence of Brexit agreement with EU. Friction would not exist without occurrence of Brexit.

Goddammit Scott, do you not understand that your primary role as a reporter is the gathering of memes to post on the internet!?
 

looks at pic... starts crying because it has curved roads...

Because it (almost inevitably) appeared elsewhere:

Dammit, Steve!!
I can't labour under this cruel and specious tyranny of the limited likes any longer!
ALL POWER TO THE LIKERS!
