   1/ Ukraine's recent HIMARS attack on a Russian convoy in Rylsk, Kursk region, has prompted fury from Russian milbloggers at the military's incompetence. "The Russian land is full of idiots", one concludes; another complains that "this is some kind of sodomy". ⬇️

     8/ 'Older than Edda' comments that "this is some kind of sodomy" if the Russian high command has not issued an order for there to be "no more than 3 cars [in line], no stopping on the side of the road to take a shit/pee/smoke and no pressing against the ass of the car in front."

     9/ 'Revenge of good will' concludes that "The Russian land is full of idiots."

     "You, yes, yes, you, commanders, senior column/vehicle commanders, drivers, fighters, all of you who like to travel in crowds, columns, call it whatever you want in the combat zone. You are all idiots. Not only the command that gave you the order, but you personally."

     5/ 'Older than Edda' recommends punishing the column's commander by "beat[ing] him like a dog" until he is "shitting himself" and rsuggests a similar punishment to that advocated by Tsarov. He comments on how it feels unpleasantly vulnerable when you pass by a stalled column:

     6/ "One of the most unpleasant feelings in war is driving slowly past a military column standing beside the road. You're driving, and a bunch of fuckers are standing next to the cars, scratching their balls, talking and smoking. The only desire at that moment is to press the gas pedal all the way down and drive away from the fuckers.

     For columns, especially those standing on the side of the road in the zone of destruction by enemy missile and artillery weapons, you need to beat them up."

     7/ "Just take the column leader, beat him like a dog, kick him until he starts puking and shitting himself. For dense, slow movement in a column, you need to punish him, and punish him very harshly. For the order to line up in a column and start moving (we're talking about wartime), you need to demote him to the rank of private and send him to Storm V to atone for his guilt."

     2/ At least 13 trucks filled with Russian troops were hit by Ukrainian HIMARS missiles on 8 August, killing upwards of 100 soldiers. It's likely to be one of the biggest losses of life in a single incident on the Russian side since the full-scale war began in February 2022.

     The Russian military analyst and volunteer Roman Alekhine calls for the negligent commander in charge of the convoy to be executed, or maybe less drastically, to be demoted and sent into a "meat wave" assault unit.

     3/ "Who gave the order to move in columns in the drone's observation zone and, consequently, to [be defeated by] HIMARS, is not only an asshole, but must be sentenced according to the laws of wartime, today - it [deserves sending to] an assault squad. And I don't care what their rank is - [demote them to] private and [send them to an] assault squad! Those who command the movement in the column themselves, being in the column itself, are no less an asshole!"

     4/ "But often you can't send him into a storm, because there is no one to send. Although, assholes often survive! And then they get posts and medals for having survived."

     Oleg Tsarov bemoans the lack of learning evident in the decision to send the troops in a tightly clustered convoy: "This is just trash. The third year of war and troops [are still being organised] in columns."

     11/ 'Dead Heads' responds with resignation:

     "Did you think that after almost three years of full-scale warfare, something would change dramatically?"

     The defeat of a column in the border area of the Kursk region, footage of which is already everywhere, says otherwise.

     In the range of enemy missile weapons, in conditions of complete visibility of the area by reconnaissance drones, this is still possible.

     Hence the results. We have what we have."

     12/ 'Thirteenth' compares Russia's general staff unfavourably to monkeys: "In the third year of the war, even a monkey could be taught, but not some Ministry of Defence staff general who gives orders for such murderous marches in the frontline zone.

     Who will be responsible for the formation of the next columns? What are you doing, brainless creatures?"

     10/ "Do you want to say that you don't dare and don't know how to violate orders? Yeah, no, when you need to, you always know how to give a damn, you'll find a hundred reasons.

     Well, if you don't give a shit about your lives, then you are idiots!"
