I bet the average Ukrainian conscript is far more motivated to fight against a Russian invasion than a Russian conscript is motivated to fight in Ukraine.
You lose.
Sorry.
-
great difficulty attracting the number of contract soldiers that it is looking for
We allready have more then half professionals.
Conscript system is the part of our defence doctrine, so it will not be canseled. And in my mind it is good.

As has already been stated, this information is a mix between old information and Russian state sponsored propaganda.
So Steve, you statement is... UA Army will gain new gear from the... air?
I see.
How many tanks where upgraded in the past year on Kharcov plant? How many engines for T-64 did they produse?
Or this questions are Putins propaganda too?
As a rule I do not believe *ANY* government spokesperson unless I can verify the information through credible sources.
She is not goverment and she is the only source on russian regular KIAs. And those names what she give to public dont even existis.
By your thinking Iraq and Afghanistan should be peaceful places.
I am not military historian (actualy i am is, but shhh) but i can see the clear difference between assimetrical war and conventional one.
It seems you dont. There is a book called "Why Big Nations Lose Small Wars". Learn it.

sort of off topic, but what about the list of 227 Russian casualties reported by "Open Russia". Is that one more reliable?
If they took that number from the "cargo 200" website - nope.

If The contributions of the folks I mentioned are things worth reading, and was why I originally regretting posting concerns this post was turning to crap.
Then if you dont want to speak with me, why do you speak with me?
The Ukrainian military is sitting on a literal mountain of old hardware
From the graveyards.
They need billions of USD to repair and modernise all that old stuff.
fair share of industry that focused on military type equipment
It has degradated too long. Even longer then russian one in 90s.
of thing that can be pulled out of storage and refurbed
That is Kharcov tank plant's "storage".
there certainly is what funding is available
Have you seen theyr budget?
They still have less founding then most of african states.

Oh good old Panzer, you will never change.
At least stop this useless trolling attempts. The only one who throws crap here - is you.

Also, here UA press told what Oplot tanks can take out 50 T-90A in few minutes.
-
T64BM Bulat is as good as any T72s the Russians may be fielding.
T-64BM is the old T-64BM from the soviet union.
It dont have IRs or modern ERA, its ammo for gun are realy old since they have no lekalo shells or svinec.
I dont realy belive what they are comparable to the T-72B2 or T-72B3. And for sure they are no much for gloriousT-80UM and T-90A.
One number I saw recently had 130 Oplots in Ukrainan hands, not 3.
Give me the link pls.
They plan to have 50 Oplot tanks at the end of 2020. But anyway they dont have money for that right now.
and the other former satellite states in the region are more than happy
Only Hungary give them some T-72 but they are basic model from early 70s. And they are at realy bad shape.
Heck, according to the Kremlin half their two thousand odd casualties have occurred while the soldier was 'on vacation'!
Kremlin didnt confurm any russian regular presents in UA. Volotiers - yes, but not the army.

You're still stuck in a Spring 2014 timeframe.
So explain me where they will get new APCs, tanks and choppers?
They started war on BTR-80s and BMP-2s, now they ride on BTR-70 and BMP-1. First they use Kharcov produced T-64 now they tryng to throw in the fight old T-72 from tank graveyards.
-
Steve, probably you just don't understand what the Ukrainian military are. They dont have any air force left, they dont have any weapons younger than 20 years in reasonable numbers. Actually they have like 3 Oplot tanks in the whole country, and they tank plant in Kharkov degradation to the monkey level.BTR-3E what they've build for sell were too bad what customers.
They have no reservs left, and they fighting will are too low due to corruption, idiotism of the government and bad organisation.
Also Steve, do you really believe to the words of that woman?
-
You don't think the tank crew operating that tank might, just MAYBE, be Russian?
Yeah they can. And they can't at the same time.
That is not evidence in any meaning of this word.
-
Raptor, where on the video do you see Russian regulars?
+1
They speak russian? Yeah they are definitely GRU.
-
People keep bringing up separatist failures at securing Donetsk airport.
Some people here are really believe what assault were lead by russian regular troops, Thats the case why they refer to airport all the time.
-
why does Russia see the EU and/or NATO as a threat to its national security ?
Why does NATO see RF as a threat?
Obama puts Russia in one line with IS as world threat in his public speeches. So does NATO officials too.
-
Here is the links on units what will face NATO troops in europe if something goes hot. And they are mostly rapid reaction troops with full combat readiness.

Putin don't want to invade someone. How many countries were occupied by russian troops in past 25 years? None.
