      They haven't even crossed the bloody river.

      Liked him every since Starksy had him on his channel at Hostomel, and asked Denys what he thought as a pilot seeing the Antonov in the state. IIRC for a split second there it looked like Denys was going to cry, but then went on to earnestly explain how pilots of such planes feel as if they are friends of their planes, and how much it hurts to see any of their friends damaged, in his very over embellished, but good natured style.

    Ukraine abandoned the east side of the river since its much harder to defend than the west. Russias advance was into the abandoned territory

        No. Just pre-planned decision to hold more favorable position in case enemy breaches the perimeter.

          How about leaving Bahmut and retreating to the more favourable position right behind it since the entire city is flanked on both sides?

          Dude have you figured out the subtext that he has to keep on moving because he is getting death threats, and given he left Ukraine and is relative small fry he actually is having to move?

          Denys is actually weirdly brave.

        Does he have ANY experience or connections relevant to what he's trying to do right now other than being a former pilot?
        His channel looks HistoryLegends tier.

          he doesn't do a lot of research when he says stuff, for instance he posted a pic of hideo kojima as the shinzo abe assassin

          he's also biased pro ukraine obviously

          that being said his videos are comfy

        something about him I dont like. I think its his tone of voice, i guess being a pilot makes you speak in a certain demeanor, idk. i like jake broe better, his tone is more soothing.
        his vids are quite informative otherwise

      Ukraine still has forces West of the city in advantageous positions that can put pressure on the flank of the Russian force attempting to encircle Bakhmut from the North. That limits Russia's ability to bring that full force to bear on whatever forces remain within the city itself. An anon yesterday made a thread claiming that the Wagner position North of Bakhmut had itself been encircled by Ukrainians West of the city, and the force in the city itself. Personally that sounds like utter bullshit to me, but I don't doubt that Ukraine does at least have the capability to launch attacks on the flank of the Russian force to the North.

      At the same time, the defensive line in the city itself has shrunk to a more consolidated position closer to the center of the city. In the South, Russia has, as of the last week, been even less successful at attempting to encircle the city than the force to the North has.

      I'm still personally of the opinion that the city may not be worth holding onto at this point. I've said in other threads, but I I think Bakhmut is as close to being at the "2 more weeks" point as it has been over all these months. That said it appears to be the strategy Ukraine has elected to pursue for the moment.

            Mate, ukraine has been losing ground for the past 3 months on equal footing.
            If they had the capability to launch attacks and push them back they already would have. It's moronic to think they'll be able to hold it when it comes from 3 sides at the same time.
            You can only hope that the reason for this is because ukraine is turteling and waiting for the big offensive after mud season that's coming.

                Russia's grand accomplishment for their winter offensive has been capturing Soledar and ALMOST capturing Bakhmut. After 9 months of continuous assault, while simultaneously failing to make any meaningful progress in Luhansk, and getting utterly BTFO in Vuhledar.

                Thats why I think its stupid. The main reason they are gaining grounds in bakhmut because of their ability to double down on one area. Which is not good because your forces can get fatigued and exhausted to the point of being vulnerable to a potential counterattack from other fronts.

                Russia is currently trying and failing exactly that on multiple other fronts. Ironically Bakhmut is the only place they are (finally) making any degree of progress, at a tremendous cost to the forces they are using to accomplish it. Those are forces that cannot otherwise be allocated to other fronts where Ukraine is holding the line.

                In the mid to long term, should a likely highly mechanized focused Ukrainian counter offensive either fail to materialize, or fail to make any meaningful progress I think Bakhmut is utterly fricked.In that case it would be far better for Ukraine to abandon it in favor of defensive positions already established to the West.

                In the near term, if Ukraine is capable of preventing the complete encirclement of the city, and thus able to continue providing a route for supplies, capability for relief of forces still in the city, and if necessary an egress route for those forces still currently holding the city, then it perhaps still holds degree of limited tactical value. Personally I think that the degree of that value is highly debatable, and that they would be better off at this point falling back to positions on the high ground to the West of the city. As evidenced by Russia's current inability to complete the encirclement, I think Ukraine has made the judgement call that they believe they are capable of holding onto Bakhmut at least in the near term, while simultaneously preventing Russia from making progress on other fronts.

                I don't understand what anons don't understand. The point of Ukraine keeping the fighting concentrated on Bakhmut is to prepare their counter offensive. They're trying right now to muster all they can in terms of actual mechanized mobile units. If those have to be utilized for fire fighting across the entire front then Ukraine won't be able to achieve sufficient local concentration to make a new thrust and actually shift the strategic situation. Bakhmut is letting them expend stuff that isn't that useful for a mechanized mobile thrust tying up a huge amount of Russian focus. Which still sucks but they aren't strong enough to take no gambles and just win everywhere or they'd already have done so.

                How smart it looks in hindsight is going to depend a lot on whether their thrust works. If they actually were able to pierce down south and liberate Melitopol say, cutting the land route to Crimea and bringing a ton of new stuff into range, that would make it all worth it. If they fail then questions will be raised for sure, though whether fair or not is hard to say. Maybe if the West had started building their tank forces last Fall so they'd have all winter to get ready and with sufficient numbers it'd be different, but they have to make hard choices right now if they want to do more then just hold the line.

                the defense of Bakhmut makes sense IF they are inflicting catastrophically high casualties on the russians

                I just hope they aren't confusing kamikaze penal squads for actual soldiers, since those casualties don't mean much.

    Not convinced Wagner is really out of ammo.

    I think he's just posturing it as an excuse since they didnt get a full envelopment.
    His momentum and success are a function of his political clout.
    He wouldn't risk shitting into military politic unless it were necessary, and it's not realistic that he'd pull back.

    Some sources say he's just getting the same amount of ammo now as other battalions, but who knows.

      Yeah but think of the battle of severodonetsk, they had utter artillery dominance. ukraine could barley do shit to counter it. Strelkov himself admitted (months ago) that russian artillery fire was down 75% since the summer. So, with their artillery advantage taken away to begin with, it could be hard to tell if there's "shell hunger" there

    Not defending this random tuber but I haven't seen a single channel on either side that does detailed daily updates and their videos didn't age horribly.
    It just goes to show that no one really has any idea what's going on and people are just cheerleaders for their side.
