Russia’s elite marines sent into death trap in Ukraine | BBC News
In October 2022, Russia sent men from its elite 155th Marine Brigade, the “Black Berets” to take the town of Vuhledar in Ukraine.
In a rare protest letter, the Black Berets claimed that “inept” commanders cost them 300 men in just four days, and that the same commanders called them “meat”.
The Russian authorities denied the number of losses. But who was right?
Piecing together online testimonies, death records and battle footage BBC Eye found evidence that glaring tactical mistakes caused one of the highest concentrations of losses for a single Russian unit since the beginning of the war.

The US said it has hit “dozens” of Iranian military targets in overnight attacks, in response to Iran hitting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.
The military said it struck “air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats”, using aircraft, ships, and drones – including “one-way attack sea drones for the first time”.
“The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade,” the US military said. “Iran does not control it”.
In response, Iran said it targeted US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait and also radar systems in Oman.

President Donald Trump has said the US is reinstating a naval blockade of Iranian ports and will impose a 20% charge on all cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz following days of escalating strikes between the two countries.
He said this would stop “Iran’s ships or customers” from entering or leaving the key oil shipping route, but “all other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait”.
Iran’s foreign minister later said whoever provides safe passage “should be compensated for this service”, but Iran would remain the strait’s “GUARDIAN” – using Trump’s word.
Tehran and Washington clashed over the strait’s control after exchanging strikes in the region overnight and on Monday.
The US said it carried out strikes against military targets in Iran, targeting air defence systems, coastal radars, and missile and drone sites. Iran said it responded by striking US military bases in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain, and radars in Oman.

Explosions have been heard near two Iranian port cities, Bandar Abbas and Bushehr, state media has reported.
It comes after another night of strikes between the US and Iran, with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps saying it hit two UAE tankers in the Strait of Hormuz and targeted US facilities in Jordan and Bahrain.
The UAE called the attack “brazen”, adding that an Indian crew member was killed and eight others were injured.
Meanwhile, the US military says it completed strikes on targets aimed at degrading “Iran’s ability to attack commercial shipping” – Iranian state media reports three people were killed.

The US military said it was carrying out a new wave of strikes on targets in Iran. It said the aim of the attacks was to degrade Iran’s ability to attack shipping in the strait of Hormuz. It came ass the US Navy resumed its blockade of Iran’s ports.
Iran said that control of the strait of Hormuz was required for its national security and it will exercise sovereignty over the key shipping lane, whatever the cost.
President Trump announced that he was scrapping a plan he had announced a day earlier, for placing a 20% toll or tariff on all cargos passing through the strait of Hormuz.

Tactically what the Russians are doing is simply insane. Squads and platoons attacking with armored vehicles but no dismounted infantry or air cover. US units in modern warfare do not try to take territory using small units and certainly not in broad daylight.

Oh no, dear BBC, I think you should be ashamed of yourself: russian soldiers don't get killed in Ukraine, since Ukraine respects international lawsa and does not kill POWs.
What do you mean "killed" in Ukraine? Can a fish be killed when you already have it grilled? They only get eliminated, not killed

Putin, president worthy of the great, magnanimous and victorious Russian nation over would-be global dominators. A kick in the dollar balls! It hurts!
Taking a spin!
Russia has the largest economy in Europe and the 5th in the world, says Putin
The Russian president said that the country's performance in 2022 and 2023, with a small drop in the first year, and a possible growth above 4% in the second, had surprising results.
Vladimir Putin, President of Russia, admitted that Russian Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth in 2023 could be above the projected 3.5%.
"More than 4%? Well, maybe so. We had a decline in 2022, Mikhail Vladimirovich [Mishustin, Russian Prime Minister] told me this before coming here, the decline we counted on was 2.1%, it's actually over being 1.2% […]. Therefore, perhaps there will be more GDP growth", he said in a meeting with businesspeople in the city of Khabarovsk.

THE TERRIBLE PRICE OF UKRAINIAN NAZISM
"Since the beginning of the Russian military special operation, the troops of the Kiev regime have suffered the heaviest losses, which amount to at least 300 thousand to 350 thousand killed.
This information was voiced by the former adviser to the US Secretary of Defense, Colonel Douglas McGregor, in an interview with the Jeremy Ryan Slate YouTube channel.
"The Ukrainian troops are in a catastrophic state. From what was a year ago, there was only one skeleton. According to our calculations, Ukrainians have lost from 300 thousand to 350 thousand people, maybe even more," the expert said."

Media Zona no credibility.. In reality when you look at hospital admissions, obituaries, funerals and the expansions of grave yards in Ukraine you see the real number of actual Ukrainian deaths roughly 400 000 deaths, and yet the disgraced BBC avoids the heavy casualties of the depleted UAF and uses hyperbole with no credible claims of Russian casualties. Fake News indeed.
@chrisgreene2623
January 16, 2024 at 11:13 am
Ask yourselves why Russia has hundreds of thousands of well trained reserves yet to see action while the depleted UAF recruits teenage boys with barely one month training. BBC is a discredited , dated relic legacy media with this false narrative and no substance to back it up
@chrisgreene2623
January 16, 2024 at 11:13 am
So pathetic Western media now with these distraction stories that ignores the over all reality of the depleted and demoralized UAF running out of ammunition, equipment, funds and reserves of soldiers. This is such pathetic propaganda that is noting more than unvetted UAF claims with no serious analysis, independent investigation. This is why the BBC failed legacy media is not taken seriously as evidence on the battlefield contradicts their specious claims with no evidence

I used to listen to (and love) their music when I was at ufc Berkeley in 2012/2013, and that clip shown when discussing him looks exactly like one of their vids and sounds exactly like their music, but I know there are other rap groups with a similar look and sound so idk. Anyone who can, please clarify!!

You know what, I admire your skilled reporting but I can't keep watching this. These special forces get not a shred of pity from me. These guys aren't helpless conscripts who didn't have a choice, they came to Ukraine to kill. Murdered by people who stopped them from doing just that. And not a single line of sympathetic war poetry can convince me otherwise. If they turned their guns against their inept commanders who called them meat, I'd respect them.

It makes me wonder. Do these Russian generals, officers at battalion and brigade level have any tactical training at all. Even after over a year of war you would have thought that they have learnt the basic principles of the advance, attack and defence. It's just "hey diddle diddle straight up the middle".😂

Do the Russian soldiers really think that going into this "special military operation" will be done with any care about their lives? Generally war is about the "greater good" but this is just about bloodshed. Putin is insane, there's no way in hell he cares about any of "his" men.
