This offensive is probably bullshit. If not, why would a conscript army of Siberians and convicts do better than the original spetznaz and paratroopers? If it does not do better, good luck, Vlad, against the knives or polonium of your previously loyal henchmen who are currently losing all the money they stole from the peasants.
I look forward to Leopard tanks blowing the crap out of the inferior Russian T72s, etc. Ditto the Bradley's against the BMPs. Roast in peace, Ivan.
