Piano*DadFascinating WSJ article about Russian ...
Catastrophic Defeat in S. UkraineRussian attacking force shattered by defenders who had no tanks and no air support. They did have anti-tank weapons, artillery, and a detailed knowledge of the terrain.
Hundreds of dead Russians, and lots of destroyed and captured equipment. This happened back in early March and news is just now filtering out.
I hope it filters right back to the good citizens of Moscow.

“Sometimes, I wish I could put these bodies on a plane and drop them all onto Moscow, so they realize what is happening here,” said Mr. Sokurenko, the funeral director, as he put Tuesday’s fifth Russian cadaver on blue-plastic sheeting inside his van marked “Cargo 200”—Soviet military slang for killed in action.

News like this needs to be pushed through every crack in the information barriers Russia has erected to control media.
Russia, here is some Cargo 200 for you. Enjoy the cool photos. I hope you get much much more of this cargo to brighten your day. And more tomorrow, and the day after ...

I was surprised I could get to it....I don't have a WSJ subscription and they have pretty tight paywalls, but for some reason this article was accessible.
