Russia was going to take Kyiv in 3 days. Now it’s installing concrete shelters at home

Reinforced concrete shelters will be installed across the Kursk region, local Russian authorities announced Thursday as Ukraine keeps up its daring attack on Moscow’s territory.

“Today we began to install reinforced concrete shelters in Kursk. On my instructions, the Kursk city administration identified key points for placing concrete modular shelters in crowded places,” Aleksey Smirnov, Kursk’s acting governor, said in a statement.

Ukraine’s surprise cross-border incursion earlier this month caught the Russians on the hop, and Kyiv’s forces have expanded their offensive, capturing more towns and territory with little resistance.

Btw. Shelters are to guard against their own artillery and bombing.

Not too long ago, a Tankie demanded I find a quote of Putin saying the three days thing. As if he had to say it in some sort of press conference for pretty much the entire military leadership of Russia to say similar shit.

Putin technically never said it. Just a lot of his allies and media people did.

Not that it really matters in the end. Russia was quite sure to take the country in less than a week and failed misserably

Exactly. he didn’t have to say it.

To be fair, I listened to a lot of military analysts that studied the first few days of the war and Russia was really fucking close to decapitating Kyiv. Ukraine just came in clutch in the crucial moments, Zelensky survived multiple assasination attempts, Ukranian forces prevented the taking of the Hostomel airport, and Ukranian forces were forward deployed (without having being given orders) prevented attacks into the city. Any one of those failed and Russia could have actually taken Kyiv in a couple weeks.

The best story I read about the defence of Hostomel was that UAF was handing out weapons to civilians in order to defend the airport.

And it’s also a famously common mistake. WWI initially had a bunch of countries happily go to a quick and decisive little war.

Nah, there’s leaked emails of FSB feeding Putin the info that they could take Kyiv in 3 days.

ChocoboRocket ,

Didn’t they March in with victory day parade attire in their backpacks instead of a second round of ammunition, or rations?

Said or unsaid, even if the war was going exactly as planned, it’s a shit war that’s executed poorly and will destroy the Russian economy and likely end up losing everything they took, even Crimea.

Ferrous ,

Show me where the entire Russian military leadership was saying similar shit.
