Did everyone freeze fighting on the entire frontline, except for Bakhmut? And why did Russia put mercenaries in charge there?
Is this Russia's new military strategy? Army proper holds ground, and mercenaries do the advancing?
Did everyone freeze fighting on the entire frontline, except for Bakhmut?
Hohols concentrated all their military assets in or near Bakhmut, it's a meatgrinder but actually for the Ukrainians and not the Russians. Pic very much related, this what PrepHole doesn't want you to see.
oh no!
*remember that vatniks always lie and project their own bs*
oh good!
This PrepHoleope will not save you once we knock on the gates of Kiev again, hohol.
>again
??????????
>Ziggers accidentally admitted they're going all-in in Bakhmut
Kek
Not Bakhmut, Luhansk even.
damn russia's organizing an attack on a single town into army groups? this shit is extremely large scale for them then
I am shit with nato symbols
but ukies are like outnumbered 50 to 1 there
which brings the question how hasnt Russia taken back kharkiv yet?
are they that shit?
XXXX is an army group. XXX is a corp, XX is a division, X is a brigade, III is a regiment, II is a battalion and I is a company
How big those are in numbers? NTA
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NATO_Joint_Military_Symbology#Unit_size_indicators
army group is 100k men or more, corp is at least 30k, division is around 15k, brigades can vary a lot but a division is normally 2-3 brigades so 2-8k on average i guess
the smaller ones have more variety in sizes still but generally 3-5 regiments form a brigade and this continues on until you get down to companies that are like 200 men
corps*
Thanks man, I always read english military books, and just end up confused about all of this. Gonna screenshot your comment for reference in the future
just save this on your pc and name it like I did
second pic
Even better, double thank you dude. Also nice trips too
Brownoid minds can't grasp that different symbols represent different numbers of troops. More map icons = more troops, anything beyond that is too much for them.
wow, thanks for all this secret information! reporting the location of the russian tank division to my local artillery brigade
What the fuck is it with these retarded reverse ukrop trolls? Where you pretend to be anti-Russian, but subtly drop Ukrop propaganda?
>FACT
Ukraine has 24 of its brigades around Bakhmut
>FACT
10.000~ Piggies are now trapped in Bakhmut. You may joke about mhhh roasted piggie cauldron posting, but this is reality. Tens of thousands will die in an encirclement, all to sustain Zelenskys ego.
>FACT
Ukraine is losing about a division every three days.
>FACT
Russian troops are barely even attacking anymore, just hanging back, blasting Ukrops with artillery and having an overall good time.
Now you have my permission to PrepHoleope and seethe. See you when Bakhmut is finally Artyomovsk again and you have moved on to unironically saying that you didn't need Bakhmut from the start 🙂
Not even bait
This is just sad Anon but here’s your (You) you wanted.
Also you will never be a real European
>FACT
Putin had gay sex live on the russian television, but fsb bury that info
>FACT
Russia is a pretty big country, it did not really needed more clay
>GOLD MEDAL? I feel like you are gold medal dude from the one year anniversary thread, same sperg behavior
>it did not really needed more clay
Most of Russia is uninhabitable. Here I made a little map for you to help your visualize it. Even some of the sparsely populated areas are filled in with red, but where you see red is where the borders would be if they ended where living breathing human beings actually ended on the map.
As you can see we visualize Russians borders all wrong, a good majority of it is uninhabitable, simply rich in some natural resources. But unlivable.
Holy shit are you seriously arguing Russia needs more lebensraum?
What the fuck is wrong with you?
>when Bakhmut is finally Artyomovsk again
but anon, Putin said he wanted the decommunization of Ukraine
Artyomvsk is named after some SJW commie moron
[red exclamation point]
Algo PrepHole janitors delete every conscripts forced to bakhmut videos. And here are the results..
Its not the picture they ban, but the person posting it. You just crawl back thanks to vpn
Schizos reporting every post that hurt their feeling are the real problem.
Spamming is against the rules. Don’t flood the board and you won’t have to get a new IP from your VPN or lose all your posts.
Cool
Cropping out the fella who’s been MIA since December, now, are we?
You know not informing his nation that he’s a POW is literally a war crime, right?
And that men captured in December aren’t evidence of combat prowess in March?
Piggers really got slaughtered by PMCs and convict batallions RIP. Why did king garden gnome want to save Bakmhut so much that he invested so many people into some random town? I haven't been keeping up with this gay war and barely use PrepHole anymore since I got a job.
Zizter...
>If Wagner says that they are losing hundres of men every day while begging for support it means that it is an accurate statement
>But but, reports of heavy Ukrainian casualties are inflated because they need to make it look worse of what it actually is to get more support
Who are you replying to, exactly?
The voices in his head that should be just telling him to off himself.
Hi rajeet
Lmao; at this point you don't even have to put effort in doing bait posts. PrepHole just spergs out, no matter how obvious and stupid it is
DO NOT REDEEM THE TANKS
hehehehhe

What did the Ratniks mean by this?
>Did everyone freeze fighting on the entire frontline, except for Bakhmut?
Why is everyone forgetting the retarded assaults on Vuhledar? (which may still be going on btw)
Sane with Avdiivka
No clue if that is still going on though
also No clue where that even is
Near Donetsk
Russians were also trying to push around Kreminna the last few weeks, there was some footage of the aftermath of their vehicles getting wrecked.
all Russians died there without taking one meter of land so it doesn't count
Russians are like goldfish, they have a memory span of a few minutes tops, especially for the myriad ways that they embarrass themselves
I swear this gets bigger every time I see it
That’s because it’s getting updated every couple of weeks.
Vuhledar was a success though. Muradov was promoted to a colonel general. How can you get promoted if it was a failure?
he was promoted in advance
Think of it in HOI4 terms. Russia has 2 divisions on most tiles, maybe 1 on shit tiles. Wagner are like 24 expeditionary force divisions sent from someone else.
Russia is just spamming all of Wagner in one area to give a superiority they could not achieve otherwise. Even in 100% of Wagner dies, they can still hold the lines y'know.
I dont understand this
Wagner gets all their shit from the Russian military
Their Equipment
Their personnel
Their orders
its all from the Russian military
yet why does it not affect the Russian military?
Corruption works a bit differently when you're attached to the system versus a part of it.
You can try selling off Wagner supplies, but your family will likely be fed to pigs, alive.
You can try selling off conscript supplies, but you might have to kill a few subordinates to hide the fact that you got gipped and your superior expected a bigger payday.
They get their equipment yes but they’re treating the prisoner “recruits” as cannon fodder to force objectives. So it’s not really drawing to much from the societal pool and no one in Russia gives a shit if a violent criminal gets used as a human minesweeper.
Basically more dead Wagner means fewer Moscow babies having their reality broken and get unruly
Wagner has manpower cheat. Wagner deaths don't effect war support.
you joke about hoi4 but there is a guy out there who was streaming it straight from fagner center in st.petersburg dressed as zigger motostrelok. and he probably did better than actual russki military. clown world
Kids with autism who spend 18 hours a day playing military strategy games are better than old crusty corrupt men who haven't got a clue and got their job from corruption/nepotism. Unironically
The future of warfare will be fought on twitch streams
>And why did Russia put mercenaries in charge there?
You give your toughest battles to your most expendable fighters.
PMC and dombabwean/lugandan losses do not count as part of official russian losses, so the MOD uses them to keep the cattle happy telling them rossiya stronk
>I'm killing to kill you Zelensky
I will personally dig up Mills Lane's corpse and resurrect him to serve as referee if Prigozhin and Zelensky agree to fight an IRL Celebrity Deathmatch.
Winner gets to rule a reconstituted Kievan Rus. Loser, well, dies.
one put Putin's smarter moves has been having troops that might be the greatest threat to his power in the locations of greatest casualties.
Russia is trying to not put too much strain on their conscription force, utilizing penal battalion and Wagner mercs as well as other auxiliaries has always been a major part of their strategy for this war. Putin, his advisors, his oligarchs understand completely that if he were to abuse the average Russian man too much, he is liable to rebel against the government and restart the government. Already happened on several occasions before in Russian history. Just making enough bad decisions and angering the oligarchs and mafia bosses is also a terrible idea- he has already witnessed a contingent of his fighting capable and fighting age population escape from Russia.
What this means politically is that the Russian's who exist in Russia today are generally indifferent towards the war and to your average Russian, the war is unpopular but generally viewed as necessary for the safety and future of the Russian people. So he knows he can use up his fighting age population (only about 33 million fighting age men in Russia last time I checked, and a good majority of them have to stay in their private sector jobs for the economy to function correctly) so Putin really only has about 5-8 million men he could reasonably call upon to give their lives and he's already exhausted potentially 250k of that manpower.
He could try to conscript more women but this would be generally unpopular. He has to rely on auxiliaries and mercenaries.
I don't think he cares about the average Russian. The Russians dying are from places far away from the centres of power. The only deaths that might be of concerns to the regime are mobiks from Petrograd/St. Petersburg/Leningrad and Moscow since that might introduce instability there. I guess it means the AFU has to start focusing on destroying the units being mobilized from the Western Military District, but I'm guessing these guys are probably in the back..
Recently those guys have been getting chewed up in northern Luhansk. But they're also simultaneously more defensive and backed up by decent forces like the remnants of the VDV (this is tactically sound as losing Kreminna would be a catastrophe) so it's nothing like the Vuhledar, Avdiivka, and Bakhmut disasters
