Post Stalingrad---the fight at the Donetsk airport is taking on epic contours in the use of defensive vs offensive ops. Stalingrad went only 155 days this is well into the 230 range.
Interesting that a rag tag group of volunteers and a few regular UA have defeated just about everything including Russian elite SF/GRU troops killing in the process a major Russian SF General and yet they still hang on.
Maybe the Iraqi Army could learn something from them---fighting for a flag and country sometimes does wonders when you are the definitive underdog.
Nonstop heavy artillery shelling can be heard at #Donetsk live cam for HOURS now! Endless outgoing fire and explosions.
