Russian invasion of Ukraine


Watched an interesting video on Youtube re Russian Tanks and Weapons. They still have a lot in reserve but its already clear that the ability to use them well is an issue. Russians are running out of competent and well trained soldiers. The call ups with zero training are going to achieve very little.
 
Anyone heard or read how Pete (Pertusa) and his family have been getting on?

Was worried the bastards might call him up out of spite.

Saw this earlier today when dipping quickly into this thread. I don't ever post on it now (for obvious reasons), but take a look every now and then.

I'm OK. Should be no chance of me being called up. As a foreigner here, you can serve only as a volunteer and they don't take people from "unfriendly" countries. If they start trying to persuade me to volunteer, I'll know I've got major problems.

We're a bit worried about our son-in-law, who seems to have avoided the first wave of conscription because he's over 35. But he did his national service BITD, so could easily be called up next.

Quality of life here has deteriorated thanks to high inflation and the absence of certain goods in the shops. But on the whole, it's nothing like as bad as I thought it would be by now.
