Ukraine’s Top Military Leadership: We Are Starting to Win, Russia Is Starting to Lose
No exaggeration, Russia is issuing donkeys and mules (yes actual pack animals) to soldiers for transporting supplies because vehicles are in short supply.
Well, mules don't require fuel, and they also work as field rations in a pinch.
Otoh, they need a steady supply of mules. I don't think there are that many nowadays. Although who knows with Russia.
Mules absolutely do require fuel; they’ll only be useful for a few days without food.
Additionally, they require a lot of rest and need to be rotated out more frequently than humans. Nazi Germany was very dependent on draft animals on WWII and the logistics were nuts.
Any type of grass or non poisonous vegetation works.
In difficult terrain animals can still be the best choice for transport. Dont know if that applies here, but i know from Germanys invasion of Ukraine in WW2 that the mud in Spring and Autumn is terrible to traverse with mechanized units.

Not so easy during winter.
You can't just leave them grazing wherever. Mines and artillery kill them just as well.
Some fodder will need to be brought in for them.
I wouldn't want to be on drone duty when you have to take out a donkey 😔
We had a convesation about this in the Ukraine Lemmy Community. Our suggestion was to arm a drone with a carrot, and lead the donkey (carrying all the supplies) out of the orc camp after all the orcs have been liquidated. Ukraine gets supplies, Donkey gets safety, orcs are pink mist. Everyone wins! There's zero downside.
Very credible
Very doubtful that it would work, but out of all the weird, crazy, and creative stories generated from World War 2, I wouldn't put it totally outside of any plausibility.
I'm sorry but it's far more important to make sure the Russians don't get that ammo resupply. Combat sucks.
They won't get the resupply because the donkey is chasing the carrot. Didn't you read the post?
Possibly. If everything goes right. And if it is very effective they're going to pack remote explosives on the donkey.
Are you going to be the one checking it?
Today on: What Fucking Century Are We In?
Mules are used in many militaries by the mountain troops. Only they can navigate small trails high up and transport cargo.
Huh, that's interesting. Probably makes sense in a mountainous environment, wouldn't want to drive a jeep there. And from what I know, aren't mules generally pretty good at avoiding dangers? Like if there's a cliff, the mule will just go "nope, I'm not going there".
I think I got banned for the shit post :(
Lol. Both sides do this. Also - Ukraine nazis are done
Hmm, should I consider your post as an honest dialogue and actively continue talking to you?
Nope! That tells me everything I need to know about you. Now I get to press the "block" button and you disappear from my life forever!
I'm torn personally.
If I block these accounts, I won't be able to downvote and report them anymore.
I just tag them. For example the guy a few threads above arguing that the conflict is too far from the USA and they shouldn't involve themselves is tagged "stalin apologist".
i have a script that runs in the background while i browse lemmy that automatically downvotes any post from a known tankie or tankie instance that appears on my screen, and upvotes literally everything else ahead of them.
it broke a while ago though. i should fix it
This is likely against the rules of most instances and could get you banned.
i imagine that ban and defederation evasion is also against the rules but that doesnt stop all the lemmygrad cunts using their alts
Found the nazi ☝️
Russian bot.
The bot rot is real.

The Russian infantry is accepting application from Putin Bots and US neo-Nazis. Don't worry, there is plenty of European made tungsten to greet you.
