Man I love your writing style. Spot on with the tongue-in-cheek humor, quibs.

May the evil AFU be crushed before more Russian troops succumb to bio attacks. What a messy conflict.

Maybe irrelevant, but in Iraq one of the jobs Special Operations forces had to do was measure ground pressure. They'd have a special stick instrument you push into the dirt, and they'd go around at night wherever the tanks want to advance the next day or week or month. The tanks need ground that's stiff enough or they sink, so special forces have to become surveyors.

Russia built their tanks and their bridges to match, they're the best tanks for advancing in the environment they're in (except for reverse speed). Western tanks are meant to fall back from prepared position to the next prepared position, and they have a great reverse speed.
