An update from the Reddit Rambo Battalion:
They've already devolved to internet drama. If they're this disorderly when they only have to move supplies in and out of a warehouse I can't imagine they're going to put up much of a struggle when the Russians turn up.
As a reminder, these guys are UK/US ex soldiers who've done at least one tour and they're behaving like teenage girls on instagram.

I'm sure that they are losing more than they had planned but if they have lost 13 000, Ukraine lost 60 000 or more.
Ukr army probably suffered 1300 KIA alone in Mariupol so far. Maybe even a lot more. The number of Ukrainian troops surrounded there was around 15k and they are being grinded down, with reports (unconfirmed) of very few POWs taken.

The casualty numbers both sides give out is meant to save face and from the images and footage I’ve seen, there has surely been a lot of bloodshed. Many villages and towns were leveled in the combat.
Zala drone lazes targets for Krasnopol laser guided artillery rounds.
It’s kind of stupid to keep helicopters packed so close together. The damage could be mitigated substantially if they had spaced out.
So far this war has had a high POW/casualty rate, much higher than any other recent conflict. At least from the Russian side, the Ukrainians haven't publically released how many POWs they have captured but I imagine it will be similar.
Quite a low civilian casualty rate too, despite what the western media is saying.
Russia decided to skip that generation of weapon. The Javelin uses a cryocooled IR sensor. This is a pain to use in the field and means the Javelin expires earlier than previous generation ATGMs. Next generation ATGMs like the one the French are putting into service do not need a cryocooled IR sensor.
The Russians developed mmWave for their helicopters but because it is not cost effective they prefer to use laser guided weapons.
At best it might make sense against tanks or other expensive heavily armored vehicles but that is not what their helicopters face most of the time.
exactly, i reckon they must've pumped at least at least triple that amount in aid and whatever funding over the past 8 years. Should've just paid off Putin and signed a neutrality agreement, problem solved.
