    Once again the military tactic of defense is far stronger than an offense.

    Russian SF has been attacking the Donetsk airport since late yesterday after a strong typical Russian artillery attack.

    Then this today seems to indicate that yes even the Russian SF are defeatable even by a rag tag Ukrainian Army airborne unit.

    The defense of this totally destroyed airport is and or has turned into another Stalingrad and is in it's 180th or so days surpassing Stalingrad of 155 days.

    Seems Putin needs to check in with his own generals---and there are no Russians in the Ukraine?

    He showed up after three days of attempts by the Russian SF to take the Donetsk airport and three failures.

    Well so much for Russian Generals getting involved---shellings and tank attacks still ongoing.

    It is now 185th days that that the Ukrainian Army and volunteers are holding the airport--far longer than Stalingrad held out.

    Even the best of the Russian Army --one of their elite SF units has even failed to push them out---after the dust settles it would be interesting to analyze their defense tactics especially in an urban environment.

    It appears to be a not so subtle shift in the Russian UW strategy ongoing right now.

    1.first it was the armed locals taking over admin buildings in eastern Ukraine
    2. then "Russian mercenaries" streamed in to "help" the locals against the mean Nazi's from Kyiv
    3. then Russian troops arrived on "vacation" to help the mercenaries who were getting beaten badly

    NOW it appears that the "locals" and the mercenary leaders are being either killed, and or sent back to Moscow and the Russian army is taking full control over them and their actions and those in Moscow responsible for the "local uprisings" have lost their jobs in the last three days.

    NEXT step will be full Russian army control over eastern Ukraine.

    FINAL step full annexation of eastern Ukraine by Putin.

    So who says the Russian UW strategy is not working?

    There are though three single points of failure in their strategy and two are already in play.

    Seems to be the latest treatment for Russian mercenaries wanting to head home---seems Russia does not want them back.
