Notes -
One of my country prominent liberal politicians called the Ukraine army the best in Europe. Deadly serious and with a straight face. In a fit in a response to the USA actions lately.
Do you think there is any merit in that or early symptoms of USA derangement syndrome?
I think that might be true, but is more of a story about how terrible the rest of Europe is than how awesome the Ukraine Army is.
I would expect at least some units are these days excellent at things like holding off a large-scale offensive with a hodgepodge of improvised equipment and donated castoffs. They might now be among the best in the world at modern drone warfare.
On the other hand, they still seem terrible at putting together a solid combined-arms offensive of the type that would be necessary to actually drive the Russians out of their country.
