I thought the Putinistas were still saying they haven't sent in the "varsity" players yet...
the insecurity of the Dictatorship
just like they can’t admit Ukraine nailed the Moskva with a missile, so they have to invent a non-believable eye-rolling excuse
or “someone smoking” set off a blast at an ammo dump
there’s always another excuse with these liars
“I thought the Putinistas were still saying they haven’t sent in the “varsity” players yet...”
LOL, three of their most elite, best equipped, best trained units were decimated in under a month.
2nd “Taman” Guards Motor Rifle Division
4th “Kantemir” Guards Tank Division
98th Guards Airborne Division
Both the 2nd and 4th are the ones you see parading around Moscow every year with all the latest equipment. They were the “best of the best” with the highest percentage of professional soldiers and NCO’s of any of the Guards formations. They were the most politically reliable, best trained, and equipped.
