so the ru military commander went to inspect a tank brigade inside russia (not ukr) to show off all the new T90s. i think the video quality was to hide something... most are not T90s.. T62Ms standing in for the missing T90s Image
more T62s standing in for T90s Image
and more T62s Image
looks like a loan T72 or 80 filling in for missing T90s Image
nothing like lowering the video quality to try and hide your fleet of 70 year old tanks trying to pass them off as T90s Image

to all the people out there that think the 31st MEU thats going to the mid east right now is the end all be all.. please, no not even close.

its a good light unit, but not set up for much more than close in beach fighting.

remember they gave up all the tanks, and much of its artillery a few years ago...

right now they have MAYBE
12 to 15 new ACVs for ship to shore transport... made by italy
according to reports some have the 30mm turret but most dont. they are huge and light.. meaning they dont want to fight from them, they have thin armor. mostly used for ship to shore transportImage
they have about the same LAV25s (15 to 20) , old and light so they can float. they are NOT great in a fight.. mostly used in a support role. not all lavs are the 25mm gun version. they have medic, support, and air defense versions. so not all will be for the infantry . again all heavy armor was disinvested about 5 years ago.Image
they do come with 4-6 AH1Zs that are good aircraft.. but they fly low and slow, and not many of them Image

i dont think they are getting the 11th airborne ready for MN...

i really think its a deployment to greenland..

here is why.

its the ONLY division that has a airborne qualified arctic unit in the entire army. the only one!!! Image
a battalion is about 500 or so in peacetime...
if its true that 1500 to 2000 troops are being prepped that would mean they are probably taking the slice elements with them... artillery, mortars, etc... you dont normally do that for crowd control Image
this is about the farthest unit you could deploy to MN... plenty of far closer units.. Image

its the same small team that went to chicago, and other areas to do a "show of force". its intended to escalate the situation there.

this guy is the same one that refused to comply with judges in IL and other states by just leaving.Image
this is the same guy throwing a grenade into a school just after the same group shot the lady in the car.

same small group of ice Image

it looks like the russians are moving one of the last resurve units of the russian army into the fight..
its the 70th MRD (division) Image
the 70th is a new division that was formed in crimea just 2 years ago and has been in the kherson region from then on. Image
the only real fighting that it has been used for is the battle of krynky.. where they were known for dropping weapons and running away. the 810th marines were brought in to secure the area after the 70th could not hold and cracked. Image

there are "issues" its fake...

a thread.

1. the vehicles in question are BMD2s (airborne APCs).. ukraine didnt have any in 2014. this one is factory fresh and new... ukraine was broke in 2014 and most of its vehicles looked like shit. Image

Image
2. you can clearly see the RUSSIAN airborne vehicle markings Image
