BBC BS: Russian Reservists Fighting With Shovels

The latest war propaganda from the globalists is that the Russians have run out of ammo and are using shovels in hand-to-hand combat.

Um, no. They probably are using shovels, but it's not to fight. Too many people have died already.

In the Battle of Stalingrad the Soviet Forces used sharpened entrenching tool aka shovels for close combat fighting in the wreckage of the city. By all accounts the Germans were terrified by them. It would not surprise me if the Russians were to do the same in the present conflict☹️

@Dlrannie Except there is no need to do so. The Russians have vastly superior weapons in design and quantity. They outnumber the Ukrainian guns 10 to 1 or better. They have a seemingly unlimited supply of artillery shells and know how to use them. The Ukrainians are being decimated and we in the west should be calling for a halt to the fighting if for no other reason than MERCY!
@Dlrannie Shovels were used in trench warfare. That tactic was used a lot in WWI, less so in WWII and almost never today. Remember the carpet bombing in Desert Storm? That's why it's not used.
