I think Russians do not understand what defending means. You're supose to trade land for enemy equipment and men, not trading insane number of equipment just to save face

>All those artillery pieces
>All those tanks
Fricking kek
I've seen things you people wouldn't believe... Flagships on on fire near the Odessian coast... I watched HIMARs glitter in the dark near the Kherson Bridge. All those moments will be lost in time, like mobiks in trenches... Time to die
I've seen T-90 on fire off the
Total artillery death.
>Mi-28 (happened in 2022)
Did they unearth the wreckage after securing some village?
Isn't the attacker supposed to lose at least 3 times as much stuff when attacking an entrenched defender? Seems like it's the other way around for the ziggers.
They learned this one trick of getting attacked during the advance and declaring themselves the defender.
>Be defender
>Lose ground but that's okay because supposedly you're implementing defense in depth so you go back to your next line
>Commander tells you to go and take back what you just lost
Repeat ad nauseum.
Soviet doctrine doesn't do defense in depth. They generally respond to any territorial gains with counter attacks. Probably weird mix of national trauma from WW2 and the idea of the doctrine being about rushing the Atlantic during the Cold War with little place for dragged out defense meant to bleed out the attackers.
Soviet Deep Battle doctrine does very much do defense in depth
the problem is that Russia can't actually execute on their doctrinal ideas due to the lack of training and low quality of their forces
Where? I am talking there about cold war Soviets.

the general advice is to have 3:1 ratio of forces when attacking, but that's how much you want to have at the start, not how much you lose
of course, depending on the exact situation, it might be easier or harder, so you're not supposed to take the number seriously- it's just meant to convey the intuition that attacking requires more resources than defending
I see, learn something new everyday. Thanks anons.
>Isn't the attacker supposed to lose at least 3 times as much stuff
No, that's not how it fricking works, it's not the attrition trade value, it's the mismatch you're supposed to bring to achieve "unless you really frick this up you're going to win" odds of victory, specifically BY inflicting more casualties on the enemy than you take.
You have no idea what you are talking about kiddo. By maintaining a 3:1 ratio you can have one assault infantry, one support and one defence infantry, giving them a 5% synergy bonus each that would allow the attacker to dominate. That is a 15% multiplier. You need to read up on the calculus of war young buck.
>Isn't the attacker supposed to lose at least 3 times as much stuff when attacking an entrenched defender?
The rule is that you should have a roughly 3x fire/manpower advantage when attacking, technically I don't think it has anything to do with the amount of losses you sustain. It's mostly just a rule of thumb for when you're planning I think.
Human Wave defense
They ain't even saving face at this point.
Post-Wagner mutiny Russia is for all intents and purposes, a failed state with nuclear weapons, and everyone knows it, regardless of whether they'll publicly admit it or not.
is this one days worth?
This one is 3 days. He updates every 2-3 days.

>a command vehicle
>a bridge layer
>recovery vehicle
>EW system
Aren't all of these rare as frick in Russia's army even before the losses?
EW platforms, definitely.
Pretty sure the same can be said for all of them as well.
Don't worry, Russia is a rich country that will have no trouble replacing complex and expensive equipment.
😀
Nice numbers, let check the map to see if this is cope or real...
