        not proportional to Russian losses, just proportional to other fronts, because those other fronts are either a rout (swamping & capturing Kharkiv) or frozen (Donbas ruski suicide forces)
        in other words, Kherson is the only one where both sides are "pushing" at the same time, but Russians are still indubitably losing more from each exchange

          To be fair the VDV were given essentially an impossible suicide mission, not once, but again and again and again. I can't imagine any other airborne forces around the world would have faired any better.

        Care to provide sources for those claims aside from russian propagandists? Cause they've been doing these "phatom ukr attacks" for a while now where supposedly ukrainians attack and get repelled with heavy casualties - yet in reality there are 0 proofs to that and Ukraine was sitting in defense all of these times.
        So yeah, you could say that vdv saved its face in an alternative reality painted by russian propaganda.

            Fella, there are currently four sources of information from this front.
            >Russian Official
            >pro-russian telegrams
            >pro-ukraine telegrams/twitter
            >Ukrainian Official

            Which of these four are you getting your information from? The latter two have been told explicitly not to provide any information about Kherson, and are mostly abiding. The former two can post whatever the frick they want. What kind of reliable information do you really think you can get out of any of these sources? How do you collate and crosscheck all of the conflicting information, when one side has what is effectively a media blackout?

      Anon, fighting against a small number of newbie National Guards who never had a combat encounters before is hardly a combat achievement (it's a reconnaissance achievement because russians conviced ukr forces to deploy to different regions before the invasion and leave Gostomel undefended). As soon as actual ukrainian forces pulled up, vdv ceased to exist within hours.

    How would the VDV’s performance during any part of this war have saved face for them? If anything it’s been one massive embarrassment after another

  15. 1 year ago
    Anonymous

    the VDV has been the only unit in all of Russias armed forces that has not embarrassed itself in the entire war. They were let down hard in Kiev but considering the circumstances they did an incredible job of holding out and in Kherson they are again doing a great job of holding out against a superiorly equipped force. Can you imagine if the morons in the Kharkov oblast were in Kherson instead of them? Fricking slaughter

    • 1 year ago
      Anonymous

      >they did an incredible job
      They conducted an air assault with the element of surprise, using relatively uncontested airspace, and seized an airport defended by airport security. This is not impressive. Once UKR CoC realized what the frick was up, VDV were btfo'd by NatGrd and TDF. A 2nd air assault with a moronic amount of helis AND a ground thrust only granted them temporary reseizure of the airfield, and again, were BTFO'd.

      The VDV are not elite, are not special, they are at best: as skilled as any other regular Western line unit. Further, they clearly had the material and force ratio advantage. If anything the Ukrainian TDF and local RRB are elite specops MLG SOF Tier 1 operators for not only clubbing them once, but twice while also fending off a massive mech thrust.

    Naval infantry and VDV are the only functional, professional units in the Russian army. Everything else is a shitshow.
    Read soldier's accounts of the Chechen wars, Russian commanders were fully aware that 90% of their army was just a glorified prison gang so they demanded that the 10% that was an actual army do the job of the entire military, which led to obscene casualties among the best units.
    Pretty common feature of disfunctional systems to punish good performance.
