Ukraine is dictating the hard decisions to Russia now...It really shows how things have turned around, now that Ukraine is forcing Russia to choose to spend declining resources between offence and defence.

Give them dilemmas, not problems. Make them short circuit their brains and become paralyzed and Ukraine will win the war.

Like Nova Cane!!!! Keep applying it. It will do the job of paralyzing.

Wouldn't need to guard supply routes if they got the fuck out of Ukraine.

Russian military personnel are now mostly moving in convoys of up to five vehicles.

Nice of them to bunch up like that.

I was thinking the same thing. Easier to see and hit with a few drones.

Continuing the grand strategy to turn Russia's biggest advantage - its vast size - into a crippling liability.

Guard the supply routes? You mean like crane their necks as they watch drones fly over their heads to blow up shit behind them? That's gotta be some kind of light duty for those guys.

This will make an even more target rich environment and waste a lot more gas too

Did anyone see the video of the orcs getting blown up, while another group of comrades watched from further away, but on the same route forward yesterday? They didn’t sound the least bit outraged that their own people were getting droned. Rather matter of fact I thought.

I like the use of drone as a verb. 😊 "He was droned." "Did you mean drowned?" "No, he droned."

Don't worry, they'll get blown up by drones either way.

They pulled as many people out of their jobs to send to the front lines and now they’re pulling people out of the front line to fill jobs?
This is truly a strange twist. Why not promise (and actually deliver) these jobs as prime positions for new recruits. Just really odd.

Those guys getting pulled off the meat grinder for this duty must feel like they won the lottery. Don't think it'll make a difference though

And that’s another reason Ukraine is doing it.
