Russia-Ukraine War - News and Developments PART 2

[F-22Raptor]

Bakhmut, not Bakhmut, but I think it's an easy guess what's on Russian GHQ's mind. They failed their originally planned offensive with numerous troop losses, and equipment losses significant enough to say they have no more chances to mount it again. Yet, they take whatever they have left, and are trying to at least pain UAF in a few select places of importance.

Even with 1:5 loss ratio, this can threaten UAF counteroffensive goals. Most importantly, attriting so many cannon fodder left UAF low on ammo for offensive.

Just as I predicted, Russians decided to use their significant cannon fodder resource to make UAF waste much more valuable resource, and tackle them in Bakhmut/Wuhledar/Avdiivka.

Equipment losses are much more painful for Ukraine that to Russia even when Russia is seriously depleted on ground equipment. And ammo losses are even more painful.

Russian capacity for fires have reached the floor, and doesn't seem to be going down now. Ukrainian capacity been limited by number of tubes, and now by ammo again.

Wagners weren't that much of a feared force until they resorted to prison recruitment.

Russian regulars weren't that underequipped, or unmotivated in the first months of the war. Fights north of Kiyv were very real. And they took Marioupol mostly with light infantry, though, with some air support to level areas where they struggled.

It’s much worse. Russia suffers inhumane losses at Bakhmut. 7:1. For 1 Ukraine killed they lose 7 men.
That’s why Zelinskki and Ukraine army won’t give up Bakhmut. Not yet. In opposite Ukraine will pour more troops and weapons into Bakhmut.

Right after Iran pays its own citizens families for the killing of protestors. At least under the Shah, the army had the backbone to not shoot at its own citizens and ultimately led to Shah leaving.

Protesters or rioters you must be clear on that by the way as you yourself pointed out to body who is not completely defeated pay for such thing so you must not except Russia pay anything unless they get destroyed and Ukraine army march in red square and Putin face the fate of Qadafi

Most of Wagners prison conscripts have been destroyed, likely 80%. The Russians are close to culminating in Bakhmut. They have little chance at a successful offensive further west. Ukrainian lines are strong just behind Bakhmut, and even stronger near Sloviansk and Kramatorsk. Those are prepared fortifications since 2014. Russian offensive capability is about to reach its breaking point at Bakhmut.

War is back and forth. These territory gains by Russia mean little. They cannot survive without foods, shelters in occupied lands. Bakhmut is burned to the ground the Russians can’t sleep in trenches for weeks or months. Ukraine took back Kherson, Kharkiv. I don’t see any reason why Ukraine army can take back everything. Putin’s invasion army had the chance to win the war in the first week however they blew up the opportunity.

Kharkiv was never conquered by Russia. Kherson was always a stupid decision given the widespread geography of Ukrainian areas under Russian control and the few Russian soldiers deployed.

Now the Russians have a natural barrier (Dnipro river).

Of course it is too soon for any conclusion as the war has not ended but I don't see it being possible for Ukraine to regain Crimea nor Donbas.

It’s much worse. Russia suffers inhumane losses at Bakhmut. 7:1. For 1 Ukraine killed they lose 7 men.

You don't get it. Russia is an autocracy with Putin/closely allied oligarchs ruling with absolute power. They don't care about Russian casualties as long as criminals and ethnic minorities in Russia are sacrificed.

It is good business for Russia to send serial criminals/murderers/rapists/other unwanted people that they have to keep alive in prisons for the rest of their life or for many decades at least) as cannon fodder to Ukraine while gaining objectives from that such as recent conquests of cities, killing 10.000's of Ukrainian soldiers in the process (who have a limited number of potential troops to use due to demographics). Bakhmut will be next in this story.

Similarly with Russia deliberately sending Mongols, Buryats, Asian ethnic groups, Chechens (Kadyorvites) peoples of Caucasus and other non-Russian ethnic minorities. It suits the regime very well.

Stalin did similar once. As did the Tsars.

The war has barely reached Western Russia and the main population centers such as Moscow, Saint Petersburg etc.

Most ethnic Russian soldiers are drafted from poor Russian regions in Siberia or Southern Russia (Krasnodar, Stavropol etc.)

In contrast Ukrainian casualties (soldiers) are felt across all of Ukraine.

This thread

This thread is very telling, a bunch of guys who hate Russia want Ukrainians to die fulfilling their wishes.

The expression "Ukrainian Gambit" is an understatement because in a Gambit one or two pieces are sacrificed and here instead we see the most absolute disregard for the lives of the Ukrainians and their kamikaze regime that cry "NATO or death".

Why was a neutral Ukraine so terrible?

Ukraine is a sovereign country and they should be allowed to join the EU, NATO and whatever else the people decide. It's nothing to do with Russia.

These are exactly the tactics Claymore mines were developed to counter. Mass infantry attacking from the front. Place wire & obstacles to channel them into a group. Then hit them with a focused wall of high velocity ball-bearings & blast

Ok now I think russia might not conquer bakhmut in few days. Maybe week or 2 or not at all. Definitely russians were thought to be better than many countries. Have performed poorly.

Yet some here still claim all “is as planned” with “russia grinding nato”
