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.

Pattons columns faced fleeing dregs of shattered units and every species of German REMFs. He didnt hit serious resistance until they got to Lorraine.

In contrast, it seems that the Russians tried to set up numerous roadblocks in villages throughout the region, and the Ukrainian brigades had to fight or maneuver their way through most of the way.

Note that the Ukrainian mobile force here was just three brigades, or maybe just two. We aren’t talking of the whole Russian Army either, just the forces engaged.

And I advise you to speak realistically. Your team lost big here.
