This war has had more coverage via cellphone then any before.
When the Russians move infantry into a town, they're confronted with a wall of people all livestreaming it. This perhaps has prevented the bullets being fired at body height perhaps?
Locations of armour is being reported to military, a photo really helps target ordinance.
Victories are shared via social media, which helps boost morale.
Geotagging
I'm sure the list goes on.
Much of the above does not apply to Russian forces whose social media is being suppressed.

Since the fall of USSR, adoption of capitalism and rise of oligarchs, it always seemed Russia had become more 'like us' They really haven't, or rather, Putin hasn't. Russia has reversed 50 years of opening up in the past week, it was that easy.... I agree. And when Putin declares martial law because of unrest in his country due to actions he himself has committed, that is the litmus test for failure I'd say. Russia might fall again. What will they rename it this time? How do you say "Ooh La La" in Russian?  |

So it started snowing in Ukraine yesterday or day before, so video is recent but that doesn't timeline any attack on thus convoy in N Ukraine.
The local forces certainly can offer a punch tho, and Russians really need those trucks.
One would think considering the size of Ukraine, the dependance of Russian forces on roads, as the push deeper stretching already un-useful supply lines, they have a massive logistical problem.
Have they enough troops to occupy a hostile population of say 30 million given what we've seen so far?
Frozen ground would help Russian mobility to no end, but being March the ground won't freeze more then a frost which in fact will make fields even more impossible.
The cold will kill morale in underfed/underfuelled troops, going to be a miserable few days for forward Russian forces.

Interesting thread if true, following military transports with old inaccurate missiles out of Belarus.
Rumours that Russia has limited G-G missiles may be true if they're resupplying with hand-me-downs....

You would be mistaken. |

True, some French sided with the Germans in WWII occupation too, it's to be expected.
I gave a low population figure, the population of Ukraine prior to invasion is much greater, but after death and escape, we'll, maybe 10m is too much to take off?

Russia is a winterized military. They slaughtered Germans in the winter. Cold is best. Tracked vehicles don't bog down on frozen ground. Surprised you don't realize that. Twitter is a cancer. 10% real people,90% bots. Pure propaganda. |

Its only been cold 2 days, run a 70tonne tank over that. Russia hasn't fought a large war in decades....they seem to have forgotten how. Judge this how you will. My blocked twitter list has expanded in the hundreds last 3 days, I literally block more then I watch. |
