And according to normal, of course, you need to give a whole store to a person for shooting - 30 rounds !! My opinion is that 6-round target shooting, which is massively used in the Russian army and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, is simply a mockery of military training !!

Could be true for conscripts but the Russian Army and Ministry of Internal Affairs? That seems highly suspicious that the regular army itself doesn’t have ammo to exercise.

It sounds like BS to me. While it is true that the Ministry of Internal Affairs are basically state police, so might not have a lot of shooting practice, the whole conversation seems kind of fantastic on the surface of it. So far I have heard of no Russian volunteers who joined after the war started being sent to the front. Unless you volunteered to the Chechen unit, and they are sending 200 people there a week, I just don't see it happening. And people aged over 40, he mentions someone being aged 43, cannot currently sign up for a contract with the armed forces.

So basically, the eastern front in Donbass can be summarized as WW1-style trench/bunker warfare with fortified artillery, mutual artillery bombardments. No wonder it's taking forever.
It is a bit more dynamic than that. But yes Ukrainian artillery is doing most of the damage.

As it is known, the Russian sapper robots "Uran-6" were delivered by Russia to Ukraine, previously reported, we show the direct work of the operator to control the mine clearance robot "Uran-6" in Ukraine. The robot's reservation allows you to withstand the explosion of even an anti-tank mine. The control of the military robot "Uranus-6" is remote. The main task of the sapper robot is to make passages in minefields and quickly clear the areas.

I'm amazed that there were actually 2,500 soldiers hiding in the Azovstal bunker. That's an insane number of people to feed for 2 months. If you've got food to hold out for that long you've likely got ammo and other supplies to fight.

Add to that the 2,000 that surrendered, and you had quite a substantial garrison. If they actually fought to defend the city they could have done some damage to Russian forces.

These were the Ukrainian forces that had the most combat experience, they had the best weapons and had extensive NATO contacts & training. We were supposed to overlook their ties to Nazis because they were such good fighters. What did they do the whole war? They hid in bunkers like rats and posted videos on twitter.

Yeah, I'm not impressed by the Ukrainians one bit.

With numbers at the start of Mariupol siege stipuled that they where 15 000... maybe they gone into hiding because of that...
