Parachute assault?[edit]

There is a totally unsubstantiated and implausible claim of an attempted or actual Russian paratrooper (as in airborne) drop into or around the city. Where does this claim even come from except maybe the early fog of war and confusion? Now that we conclusively say there was not a single parachute infantry landing in the entire war as of August 2022, this article needs a serious re-work. Any objections before I remove this and other unverified claims? 135.23.80.41 (talk) 00:49, 5 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Apologies for replying to an old message, but on what grounds do you say there were no such landings during the invasion? SaintPaulOfTarsus (talk) 23:12, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

BattleS?[edit]

Do sources really refer to this as two separate battles? Seems more to me like one battle with a break in the fighting in the middle. HappyWith (talk) 20:20, 19 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

HappyWith: I've taken an interest in this event and it seems that the "second battle" did not actually happen. The sources tell us some videos surfaced on the Internet on 9 March, but this does not necessarily mean they were new videos, and "breaking news" reporting like this should be superseded by the long-form, detailed reports from the journalists who actually set foot in Voznesensk. This may be an appropriate test case of argumentum ex silentio. The seminal WSJ piece, among others, were written in mid-March and mention only one battle very early in the month. This quote from a 22 March BBC article is particularly revealing:

But almost three weeks after that battle, the mayor warned that another attack by Russian forces was probably imminent and that the town's defenders lacked the weapons to hold them off a second time.

(emphasis mine)

Harding's A Small, Stubborn Town is on its way to me in the mail right now. If there's nothing there regarding a "second battle", I will move this page back to Battle of Voznesensk. Best wishes to you as always
