True, maybe this was Putin’s 8D Chess master plan.
You see, he predicted 10 months ago that the US would give Ukraine Patriot missiles, so he sent his tanks in to be blown up so that once the turrets fly up, the patriot system would lock on them, thus acting as decoys for Russian cruise missile attacks, genius.
“Instead, the Kremlin has drafted—or lured into service with huge cash bonuses—hundreds of thousands of unhappy and largely unfit men, many of them in middle age. Barely trained, minimally equipped and ambivalently led, these draftees die fast and easy in battle with hardened Ukrainian troops.” 
I like the term “ambivalently lead.” We could attack and maybe seize some territory, or we could go home. Idk. I’m ambivalent >

I just dont get why they are so badly eqipped, a basic decent gun such as AR-15 costs from $500(?) thats peanuts compared to what a tank or fighter jet costs, one lost fighter could have bought truckloads of guns. >

You just answered your own question.  The gun is worth more that the person. Putin would rather send 2 people in unequipped than 1 equipped because it saves him $500. It doesn’t make sense, but thats why they call it twisted logic. >

Using classic Russian WWI tactics. >

Also WWII >

How convenient >

Almost like a Patriot missile target? >

The patriot missile is a surface to air missile, and so would only be used against targets in the air. >

So when the tanks are blown up and the turrets fly into the air...
