This is what the Ukr advance looks like after wiping out that HQ...
(thread ends - questions?)
@Render It certainly appears that UA is in a good position to drive RU back across the river there, cutting off groups to clean up later. It really seems RU is just throwing human spaghetti at the wall hoping something sticks. At what point do they tip below the threshold where remaining equipment is insufficient to even defend themselves? (i.e. rapid crumbling of forces)
@thereal_renaissance_man Given the sheer numbers of men and equipment that the Russians have moved into Ukraine that could be weeks or months.
But all things considered, they could days or hours away from a general rout and every man for himself scrambling for the border. Especially west of Mariupol.
@Render @thereal_renaissance_man I read this morning that Russia is pulling what they did in WWII, any retreating solider is shot. Not sure if this is confirmed but that will go through their soliders' pretty quick
@Desmblake @Render
In this case, I suspect that leaves the *clear* choice to surrender instead. when you're likely to be "mistreated" whether surrender or retreat, you fight. If either of those options *doesn't* end up with you dead, you're motivated to choose that one.
@thereal_renaissance_man @Render Most definately, saw a post on TW that said a Tank Driver handed over his tank for $10k and requested Ukraine citizenship. I hope this happens more
