Russian invasion of Ukraine

A delivery driver who I'd not seen for a couple of months came into my work today. He said he had been in Ukraine fighting (he is ex forces about 30 yrs old). His exact words were that is horrific. He was put with a unit of Ukrainian special forces. 7 out of the 10 in his unit were killed. He said the Russian soldiers are mainly 18 to 20 years old and badly equipped. He spent most of his time moving positions to avoid artillery as the Russians were using drones (like in the video) to pin point their location and strike,
He was offered a lot of money to return but said there is no way he would go back,
That's the thing, we are seeing these videos from an extreme western slant, we don't get a balanced idea of what is really happening across the board. I would say from what it appears to me that the russians are badly trained and ill equipped mostly but they just keep throwing numbers at it, hence the amount of casualties and munition damage, add into the mix that there are far more of them to get hit and they dont know the terrain. Good viewing if you're that way inclined.
