Your boys are taking 1 hell of a beating.
I'm talking about the constitution and quality of the training they receive. As an outsider, the Russians currently appear to lack a real deficiency in fighting ability.
This, I suspect, comes back to training. They may be shown how to fire a weapon or throw a grenade, but what standard is their firearms training?
Are they training to work effectively as a fire team and a section? Does this fit into wider training at platoon/troop level? What about effective drill and fieldcraft?
In combat, it all boils back to the training - it's drilled into you what to do, where to do it and when. Teamwork is the underpinning element to it all.
Like I said, it doesn't appear that the Russians have much of the above even if they do receive some training, whereas the Ukrainians look to have combat skills.
It's well known that Britain's combat infantry course is well respected around the world, so if they're receiving a fraction of this then it's going to help, a lot!
For reference, it's an intial 26 weeks in the UK, and then it continues and improved further when you reach your regiment.
Had it in my mind as earlier in the 2000s. My bad I suppose, but my point stands that they should be trained, even though conscription around their/our parts is largely a test of people to see who kills himself last tbh.

Combination of both I'd say, without the hardware they'd have nothing left a few months ago. Without the training (away from danger) the army would have been done by now, effectively can look at it like this, Russia spent several months grinding down the Ukrainian army, when it'd done that to a large degree a completely fresh NATO trained and armed 'new' Ukrainian army then turns up.
Russia for sure underestimated massively the degree of backing from the US. it also - I know this pretty much from someone who would know - massively underestimated the degree of corruption that'd massively weakened it'd armed forces - corruption from near the top down. And the degree of it is still causing aftershocks now

Pickled tomatoes!Father in law does it all the time, pickled tomatoes, pickled cucumbers, leche (tomato and red peppers) all jarred and given to us all the time same with Jam and spoke puree, basically think it's a leftover from making maximum use out if everything you grow or buy at huge savings for the season but won't store well without canning/bottling.
Saying that I'm getting revenge this year as I've pickled shedloads of beetroot just to annoy him by giving him some every few weeks, did eggs tooas neither are done here ever
Never heard of this but have to find some now! Beetroot, yes please. Pickled eggs omm nomnom ? With chilli sauce ?Apologies for taking the thread off track but how are the tomatoes done? I mean are they prepared in any way or put in to the pickle whole/fresh?

You can pickle them whole https://www.earthfoodandfire.com/pickled-cherry-tomatoes/ but I prefer the top one.

I will be giving this a go!
It may also be that we have discovered a platform to stop all this fighting. Just get both sides to discuss their pickled food experiences and methods of dealing with elder family member bulk supply.
There is not, in this universe, a bunch of people/nations SO close together culturally, that hate each other as much as all of Eastern Europe + Russians.
We'll share secrets, someone blames someone for a recipe, fighting starts again.
