As old infantry soldier I don't know shit yet I explain to putin fans the Russian army is done.

The Ukrainian Army is a like us the west American army we are a professional army from officers command control to squads level to platoon level you have NCO corp sgts leadership that is motivated. NCO run the army it’s fact they lead young soldiers and teach young officers.

Ukraine army has destroyed the professional Russian army up next one million conscripts. Is quantity problem with these kremlin conscripts yes, are these conscripts trained No nor are they motivated to die for putin. I’m thinking Vlad will end up even losing Donbas what he annexed invaded 2014.

I ramble yet the Russian army I’m old now these pigs are rapist torturing fucks I hate them as soldier you do not hurt civilians the Russians army is like Serbs they are animals.

2. 2014 Was a Very important year

After that first Russian invasion. Ukraine totally revamped its military from the Old Soviet type to NATO type and US Troops started to train them in late 2014 early 2015. Ukraine also instituted a plan to develop a Professional NCO Corps for their Military. Also creating a volunteer force vs, a Conscription Force. All these have paid off with a strong viable professional Army that is kicking the crap out of the ruskie's.

Leading our platoon these NCO infantry were fine leaders they taught us they took care of us.

5. Ukr sent draftees to the area, so every year many people saw action in the Donbas

Thus Ukr troops were experienced in addition to being trained by Canadians, Americans, and others.

6. Thank you for your analysis! Malcolm Nance, who is there says the Ukrainian soldiers have gone

Full on Cossack. He is very impressed.

7. In the late 90s

I was involved in training former Warsaw Pact troops for UN deployment in the former Yugoslavia. Even back then we rated the Ukrainians as the second best of the seventeen countries we worked with.

8. It is impossible to underestimate the importance to good cohesion and discipline,

combat morale and readiness, of a professional Non-Commissioned Officer Corps.

Any army with professional NCO's is going to trounce a conscript army with 'ninety-day wonder' sergeants.

Slava Ukrani!

Happy Veterans Day, Duncanpup!
