17. Surprise! The tank regiment (26th) that🇷🇺media filmed 'returning to base' from Kursk training area (pic 2+3) seems to have lost its 2nd battalion (see 2 dots in square) on a trip to🇺🇦. Seems 26th (47 GTD) are in fact between Sumy/Konotop+Romney/Preluky https://t.co/VnkVWn2TPj https://t.co/mOzLpsG46E

@zloneversleep Yes ... but you misunderstood. I do not claim they are the same tank. Each dot is for a battalion number. First battalion has one dot etc. They are all from the same regiment. It's 2nd battalion then did not 'go home to base' obviously so likely all 3 battalions are in Ukraine.

Obviously, we can only make tentative conclusions so far, but the Russian military is committing some very basic mistakes from the strategic to tactical levels. Putin also put his military into a very bad situation with unrealistic goals and without giving them much warning.

I'm going to respectfully (because he is an absolute essential source on this) disagree with @KofmanMichael here. This isn't a good army executing a bad plan. It isn't a good army executing outdated or out-of-context tactics. It's a bad army! Here's why. https://t.co/NfLpRzN1de

It is clear many soldiers don't know what the goal of this war is, so they don't know how to respond to civilians or what sort of security posture they should take. They have been assigned tasks but don't understand the purpose, which is how you set up a military for failure. 2/

I have a feeling that Putin only told very senior officers about the invasion plan, so I would bet many of the division and army staffs didn't have time to plan things or conduct proper coordination. Of course, if you know you're going to war, you'll prepare better. 3/

And again, the Russian military has some very capable equipment, and they have some recent experience using them effectively. They are failing to properly employ those weapons and capabilities, which is more of a coordination, preparation, and leadership issue in my view. 4/

RT @steve_hanke: The Russian Ruble sank to a new all-time low, trading at 117.62 RUB/USD. Since Jan. 1, 2022, the ruble has depreciated by as much as 47.33% against the USD. Conflict in Eastern Europe is fueling the currency's destruction. At present, I measure Russia’s inflation at 69.4%/yr. https://twitter.com/steve_hanke/status/1498140235875635200/photo/1
