I was going to try and do a "order of battle" regarding how the Ukrainian Marine Corps would do against a Russian Mechanized Infantry Brigade.
Unfortunately, I can't do it. Information is spotty. Real spotty. Additionally they only have one Battalion of forces....via Wikipedia...
Today, all of theThey more I peel back the layers on the Ukrainian military the more I'm reaching a very uncomfortable truth.marinesMarines (SNAFU! correction) are organized into 1st Separate Marine Battalion.[2][5]
- 1st Marine Company
- 2nd Marine Company
- 3rd Air Assault Company[8]
- Mortar Battery
- Reconnaissance Platoon
The Russians could seep through the country in a week. They could capture Kiev in a couple of days...and there is very little that Ukraine could do to stop them.
The idea of a peaceful Europe is something that the Ukrainian people and government bought into.
They were wrong.
I hope we learn the appropriate lessons from this fiasco.
