Ukraine: military (Aug '14 to mid-June '15) closed

carl--you bring up an interesting point---it was the rag tag independent BNs that took the fight to the separatists using a few UA/NG armored units and actually were driving them back with heavy loses for the separatists--then Russian heavy tanks rolled in and heavy artillery as well.

What is interesting is the UA abilities to pull out of encirclements and they still have a bulk of their armored forces available

There appears to be 18 MI8s coming from Croatia and if NATO allows their members to send individual equipment then in the long haul things will in fact head towards a bloody stalemate that costs Russia in terms of blood and treasure which is already impacting the Russian internal opinion polls similar to AFG.

Germany just released 20K body armor sets and large amounts of field medical equipment for their wounded---things are slowly moving their way.

carl---this is where the UA new tactics are headed-regular Army/NG/Territorial Defense units will hold and then they are shifting to UW/guerrilla warfare--yes Russia can control territory but they do not have the troop numbers to avoid a guerrilla war---the Ukrainian SF companies have gone to ground and then this was blogged today.

This twitter site carries a lot of new Russian equipment IDs being seen in the Ukraine and or headed to the Ukraine.
