    I find it amusing how UK media is now acknowledging that Russian army uses tactics though, and that they’re effective. Gone are the days of them glibly talking about meatwave assaults.

      I mean they had to throw in a bit of the meatwave assault line right at the end. Something only meatheads would believe if they had zero comprehension of the necessary training and coordination required to launch, sustain, and follow through with such methodical tactics.

      I think for a while, the average westerner who thought about such things earnestly thought the Russians were just kinda milling about accidentally near military equipment, unable to be directed due to the Russian brainpan

        A liberal wandered in to hexbear recently who claimed Russia does meat wave attacks and after dodging the question a bunch of times coughed up a video of five guys crossing a field on foot as evidence. I think the average westerner still believes that stuff.
