When it comes to a surprise attack against another country, there are two schools of thought. First, you can attack with 100% of your military strength to subdue the country instantly. Call it the “ripping off the Band-Aid” or the “shock and awe” approach to conquest. Second, you can go in with some delicacy to see how much pushback you’re going to get from the country before you commit your best troops, especially if you’d like to keep civilian casualties to a minimum.
#Ukraine: In a recent ambush in Irpin, #Kyiv Oblast Ukrainian Troops (Possibly special forces) destroyed 3 BMD-2 (One with 9M113 ATGM) and a BTR-D.
It seems that at least one RPG-22 was used, as it can be seen expended. pic.twitter.com/rbDMReveLJ
