Pattons Third Army went @400 miles in @45 days, during its dash across France, Aug 1-Sept 15 1944. Or about 9 miles a day.

Rommels 7th Panzer, its own dash during the Battle of France’s “sichelshnitt”, that made Rommels reputation, made about 160 miles in 12 days, 12 May - 24 May 1940, or about 13 miles/day.

The Ukrainians just did about 45-50 miles in three days (and thats conservative), or 15.5 miles/day.

Laughable to pretend the Ukes are in any way comparable to Patton’s 3rd army... much less twice as good. And the 3rd Army faced the full combat power of the Wehrmacht and the Nazis were facing the most deadly industrial combined arms force ever assembled.

The Ukes are not facing anything but a small part of the Russian army, which is 10% of the size it was in the Fulda Gap days. So curb your enthusiasm and wipe the Uke slobber off your chin.
