Feel ya. I'd rather be in a standard vehicle, any standard vehicle...than some fishbowl snub nose delivery truck we stole from the locals, so there's that. Vlads ordered a draft. Great idea. Airborne couldn't pull it off, I bet a bunch of potheads from back home will do much better.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

All this talk of improvised vehicles is giving me Bob Semple Tank vibes

It appears that two ukrainian mi-24 helicopters have struck at a fuel depot in belgorod. Where was russian air defense?

Sounds to me like Russia thought Ukraine is weak and would just fold.
How's that workin' for Putin? “If you are the smartest person in the room, then you are in the wrong room.” — Confucius
They might have already cannibalized the units there in russia that could have stopped the violation of their airspace. OFC, people suggest it may be some false flag attempt, and Ukraine is cagey...but fine, if so....... the russian line is that the ukrainians are hitting them on their home soil? That's what they'd like to put out there?

Caught with their proverbial pants down, apparently. Given how mismanaged and poorly thought out the invasion was, a Ukrainian strike inside Russia - even a strike on a legitimate military target - not occurring to the Russians seems about right. Remember - Putin thought this war would be over in 100 hours. Why bother with defending the Rodina if your enemy is going be crushed in four days? Boru

The Daily Mail posted a short video of part of the strike here.
Can't tell whose heloes those actually are, but they came in low, meaning below-radar, and at night, confusing visual ID. It's still surprising to not see any point-defense at all. ![[Image: xxkdwhjfrrq81.jpg?width=640&crop=smart&a...43f27b2869]](https://preview.redd.it/xxkdwhjfrrq81.jpg?width=640&crop=smart&auto=webp&s=de0febbf32041cff9eec8a8d9891c143f27b2869) Boru
