Russian forces in Ukraine have been encouraged to fight with antiquated shovels due to a lack of ammunition, according to an update by the U.K. Ministry of Defense. In late February, forces were told to use the shovels, known as MPL-50, which were designed in 1869 and have essentially gone unchanged, the ministry said. According to the ministry, the ramped up “hand-to-hand” combat highlights the “brutal” style of attack Russia continues to deploy in its war with Ukraine.
One military reserve force member said they weren’t “psychologically nor physically” prepared for the level of attack. This comes as Russia continues to close in on Bakhmut, Ukraine after months of combat, although Ukrainian forces have denied reports they plan to withdraw from the city. Read more at BBC.
Well they need something when they get to the front lines, are taking heavy fire and begin *hi**ing their pants.
Lol!!!
You will never hear reported the number of Ukrainian Soldiers Casualties.
You never hear reported the quantity of Ukrainian weaponry that was destroyed, abandoned or seized by Russia.
The media only reports negativity on Russia, never on Ukraine.
The western media regularly mocks the Russian controlled media for censoring news coverage in Russia but ignore the fact that they themselves censor news coverage of the military conflict in Ukraine.
How can you believe anything that is reported regarding Ukraine when it’s clearly biased in Ukraine’s favor.
The identical comment to the one here, almost word for word, has been posted to over 100,000 news sites by a bot, Russian hackers suspected. It’s a fake comment similar to Russian meddling in US elections on social media.
