FAB-3000 is a 6000lb dumb bomb with a 3000lb explosive warhead; yielding a 50ft destruction radius and potential 850ft fragmentation radius; one of the largest dumb-bombs in the Russian Air-Force’s arsenal.

Reported Russian 122mm 3OF56-1 (3ОФ56-1) HE-FRAG projectile found in the Kiev Oblast to have been repurposed as an IED by retreating Russian Forces.

There have been innumerable reports of IEDs being employed by withdrawing Russian Forces throughout the Kiev region, some with accredited authenticity and other(s) being clearly staged.

Are Russians zombies ?

Days means months if they continue to use conventional warfare the way they do.

Inadequately trained troops with pool company or battalion level leadership and below, no opportunity or no efficient organization to rapidly disseminate and implement lessons of recent combat experience.

I mean, even countries friendly to Russia will have trouble justifying huge civilian causalities.

It's a war.... they use cities like fortress... sure that civilians will dies in masses. They got the chance to flee for one month already in the east, good chance that the ones who decided to remain will die. Or Ukraine decided that their civilians needed to die, denying escape routes.

The Russians were just orders of magnitude worse than the Americans in dissociating the casualties they caused from their own actions, while playing majority public opinion like harps to sing their own praises.

In the art of war guilt denial and concealment, Americans are Alexander, Caesar, napoleon,and Rommel all rolled into one, while the Russians are more like one of Mussolini’s field commanders in Africa, after being hit very hard on the head.
