This is genius! Ukrainians found the way to defeat Russians. Z-Army "tactically retreats" - The Russian Dude



THIS IS GENIUS! Ukrainians FOUND THE WAY TO DEFEAT Russians. Z-Army "TACTICALLY RETREATS" - The Russian Dude 19:42

Putin makes young girl to apologize in front of the whole country for using blue and yellow straws. The situation in the East is extremely complicated, but Ukrainians find the way to destroy Russians. Russians "tactically withdrew" from Kherson region and then refuted their own statement. Why? Ukrainians found the way to defeat Russians in the upcoming winter. It is so simply, yet very genius.

1. Sounds good but not exactly genius. I was thinking the Russians would be in deep shit last winter. It's

not a secret what can happen to troops out there in the bad weather.

I was wondering what the Ukrainian capability of detecting and attacking heat sources is? If they can reliably spot heated bunkers and hit those, it would be devastating. Keep them from even getting a hot meal and they will go downhill fast.

The Russians should have known better than anyone what can happen from WWII.

4. The Ukrainians have been using infra-red cameras deployed on drones

for a variety of tasks, including detecting landmines - the metal in them heats up in sunshine compared to the surrounding earth, and they can then be plotted for deactivation.

I expect similar drone-deployed technology will be used for this other purpose.

2. I wonder about "The Russian Dude" . His reporting is always so much more

optimistic than what I hear when I listen to The Telegraph's in depth podcast "Ukraine The Latest". The Telegraph has lots of embedded reporters. They clearly want Ukraine to win. But, they acknowledge when things go bad.

3. I can't take seriously this type Pollyanna "reporting" and predictions and analysis.

Anyone reading or listening to him all along would have thought that the war was just days or weeks from wrapping-up. Perhaps such "reporting" is valuable to keeping the morale high of those on the front lines, but as actual news, it has very limited value.

5. He does acknowledge terrible events in his blog such as missile attacks on Ukrainian cities.

However, he doesn't deliver bad news in the titles of his videos very frequently. I'm okay with the optimistic outlook considering the brutality of the war, if you want a serious war blog then this isn't it; however, if the interest also includes some perspective on Russian culture then this is an enjoyable option.
