1/ A frustrated Russian warblogger complains at the "hopeless" nature of coordination between units of the Russian army, which he says is characterised by "arrogant disregard". It's a situation, he says, where "one branch of the military spins on the dick of another." ⬇️

2/ '13 Tactical' shows off a patch which he says is popular in the Russian army:

"Where did the INTERACTION patch come from and why is it so popular among the military?"

3/ "In addition to the number 13 and text, it depicts opossums [sic] from the Ice Age [movies], one holding a colander, the other holding a radio with a torn wire, both in armour.

4/ "The expression on both of their faces is from the episode where the hedgehog asks them why the end of the world is coming, and you are not afraid to die, to which they reveal the most important secret–- they are very stupid.

And now to the point:

5/ "Interaction is what determines the success of all units on the battlefield. Not only the success of actions depends on how it is organised, but also the fact that the first will not accidentally kill the second, for example.

6/ "Therefore, personally, I sometimes put the importance of INTERACTION between two units or two people above professionalism or the presence of personal skills, that is, one of them.

Because where the competence of one is lacking, the second, third, fifth will help.

7/ "And where there is no interaction, you are not only abandoned and can only rely on yourself, but also, as I already said, you can die at the hands of your neighbor.

Or rather, I will say this: you can’t, but most likely you will die. Because fuck it.

8/ "And as you already understood, the patch is sarcastic, which means that we, its carriers, have long accepted this above-described reality and live with it.

Interaction at a high level is our everything.

9/ "Everyone who is even a little busy with business understands where we would be now and what we would achieve if we had at least some kind of connection between our right hands and left hands, between one hemisphere and another, seemingly located in one head.

10/ "But we do not give up.

We continue to establish communication with our neighbours, simultaneously dodging the threat emanating from them.

11/ "But the most terrible reason for the lack of interaction, which I don’t even want to joke about, is the arrogant disregard of some for others.

This is when one branch of the military spins on the dick of another. Usually it is mutual, poorly explained and endless.

12/ "A hopeless and at the same time the most common situation in the army.

I'd like to say to those comrades who use the phrase along the line of, ‘Yes, but it's not our [concern]'.

IT'S NOT YOURS BEHIND THE TAPE ON THE OTHER SIDE.

13/ "It pisses me off.

(as you realise – everyone is sick of interactions.🫡)"
