If you fight a retreating battle, is it possible to build up defensive lines under pressure?

The tempo doesn't seem to slow down.

            Its sort of the problem of 'soothsaying' some kind of outcome, you can really only go on current, free in the wild information and sort of speculate just how it should theoretically work out.
            >Throw in a bit of fudge-factor here and there
            >Claim your a military expert on twitter
            But there's a lot of other factors you just can't account for when it comes to just a screaming shit fight this big, its not two boxers in a ring with a fight history, its 1000's of dudes over 1000's of km with dozens of other players coming in to tilt the outcome one way or another. Plus there's a vast depth of tactical or logistical outcomes which affects the operational outcomes, which in turn rolls onto the strategic posture at the end of the day.

            I did a lot of deployments overseas, at best I can advise people on maybe some tactical and operational considerations + the logistics which will make those work. But when I see people claiming to be experts it really bugs the shit out of me because military theory is such a massively broad and encompassing field that you can really only be an expert on a couple of things, usually if you're either extremely well read or have gone out and done it professionally on the sharp end.
            So just beware of people who claim to be experts and even more so of people claiming rock solid predictions

            Russia doesn't have a Western style military. It has a top-down style military where your platoon eats when the Colonel General says your platoon can eat, your platoon sleeps when the Colonel General says your platoon can sleep, rape when the Colonel General says your platoon can rape and shit when the Colonel General says your platoon can shit.

            Anyone who tries to push towards a Western style military gets extra wiener rations. If they persist, it's gulag or window time.

              Well they did maintain serfdom really late into history. Like I think it might have even been up to the late 1800's but I'm not quite sure.
              But yeah it was a fairly hard dump between serf and citizen that never quite happened for very long and then they just rolled into being worthless c**ts under the tsar before rolling straight into undiluted commies.

    If there are no natural bottlenecks (bodies of water, thick forests, mountains, ravines, etc) and if you don't have a reserve force behind you, then usually no.

    Unless your enemy stops pursuing for whatever reason.

          No he's suggesting having a line far to the rear get established during the retreat and hoping it allows reprieve for the retreating forces or can spoil the attackers. It's possible and even a requirement for a truly successful retreat, but it's not likely to be something RF forces can do with the speed of the retreat, the lack of actual reserves at the front, and the shock power behind the Ukrainian offensive. If the front line stabilizes it will probably be on a natural defensive bulwark like a town or river, rather than in the open.

    It's very difficult, which is why you establish multiple lines of defense beforehand.
    After the battle of Kursk, the Germans had to retreat all the way to the Dnieper but since strong fortifications weren't established in time, the Soviets successfully crossed the Dnieper anyway.
    There isn't much depth in Kherson, so the situation is very bad for the Russians.

    Absolutely, if you have adequate reserves, good planning, good discipline, good communications, and good leadership that will withdraw when necessary. It's unclear if Russia has any of those.

    Different powers accomplished it in WWI. The Germans and Austrians eventually got the hang of it after being surprised when Russia temporarily got its shit together under Brusilov. The Germans also did it after they started facing a significant firepower and manpower disadvantage when US troops began being thrown into the front in earnest. The problem was that they had already spent their strength in a last ditch effort to reach Paris, and couldn't weather the 100 Days Offensive, but they did make it costly for the Entente until things really began to unravel.

    For all this shit Austria gets, part of the reason they were able to hold back all of Italy's power and still fight Russia was that they always had a new line ready if the Italians made any progress, but the terrain helped that too.

            germans did take stalingrad, then they were autistically obsessed with holding it. even when the reds threatened to encircle them in it they refused to leave the city, so they got encircled and wiped out.

            maybe we'll see the vatniks do the same, sit inside kherson until completely surrounded. would be real bad because it would probably result in the remaining civilians in the city getting massacred by spiteful vatniks before the ukrainians can actually take the city itself.

          Right, Russian mentality is almost literally medieval. Like they just revived Tsar rule and old royalist followers and shit directly from centuries back. They focus on cities and such, but Ukraine doesn't need them immediately if it gains everything around them and controls all lines of supply. Might be different if Russia had such a powerful Navy it could do full scale sea supply but it can't. Russians sit in their castle but that takes those forces out of the war about as effectively as if they'd all been blown up. Ukraine can just keep going and wait for them to crack.

      How am I supposed to get any sleep when all the exciting stuff happens at night

        Right about now is when a relatively small force with NVDs and trained to fight at night and left “off watch” and sleeping during daylight can have a major impact.

        Don’t let the vatniks rest, sleep or eat. 24/7 engagement.

        This is what “tempo,tempo,tempo!” is all about.

        A mechanized thrust at night deep into the vatnik rear wiould be absolutely chaotic for them, even more than it already is.
        Rumors would fly, indecision would set in, and then either static paralysis or headlong rush across the river by individuals and small groups.

    Widely held to be the hardest maneuver to execute in warfare.

    You throw out some sacrificial troops to slow down the enemy advance while as much of your force as practical scrams for the rear.
    You will have brought up your reserves and deployed them in defensive posture with covering supporting arms fire.

    The problem in this kind of terrain is that there’s little to anchor your open flank on, so a mobile force can just drive around it and then envelop the hasty position and roll it up.
    As that flank is collapsing, units will panic and any mobile forces attacking the fallback frontally will find it easier to break through.

    This will then develop into many smaller envelopments since the attacker is coming from two axes of advance.

      If you believe these Telegram reports (I do), Russians are panicking with no idea of what to do and no one is taking charge so they keep falling back with some units being decimated after contact with the Ukrainians. Pure chaos.
      And these are vatniks saying this, AND we have confirmation of Ukrainian units having already advanced quite far hours ago. Jesus.

In addition to various other silly items that were purported to be hidden from the Russians, there was said to be a giant pit of semen at the very bottom of the plant which attracted the attention of the Russians and their Serb supporters.

      Kherson will not be taken in a week. The Russians are actually going to fight for it because a major reason for invading was to secure fresh water to Crimea. If the Russians lose Kherson, they no longer control the flow of water to Crimea.

    They could have.

    If they had bothered to make a layered defense. But no, in their sheer fricking hubris they basically have no deep defensive lines past where they are, and the separatist republics. You can see it in Kremina; they've had fricking months to set up advanced trenchlines, bunkers, tank pits and the like. And once we look through satalite images after Lyman, what do we see? One of their most important logistical hubs in Luhansk, protected by a few shity 1.2m deep trenches that Conscriptovitch drunkily dug out in a few hours.

    And that is the issue, the Russians have decent defensive lines only where the line of control was stalled for a meaningful period of times. Everywhere else they'll simply be running from shitty waist deep trench to shitty waist deep trench.

    A common method to block following armor is revetments made from household appliances and the more intact friendly KIA as a sementitious binder between staggered layers. Washing machines are particularly effective shrapnel catchers easily capable of containing up to 280mm trench mortar blasts.

    Yea, if you're competent and have the equipment layout designed for that.

    That would mean well-placed vanguard providing just enough threat to force the advancing enemy to crawl, as you quickly decide your defensible ground, preferably something very swampy and denying of heavy equipment use. From there you identify what parts of that geography is an exception and then place your own heavy equipment in a defensive role.

    This is all based on the idea that you didn't just force conscript what is now the majority of your army with rusty AKs and are too busy giving blowjobs to each other.

    Not when the entire country is basically a flat plain.
    Is there a single fricking mountain in eastern Ukraine? Looking at google earth at the moment with exaggerated topography, it's all farmland.
    If Nato had to pull the trigger to end the war because of Putin going nuclear, the Russian troops would be erased from the face of the earth in hours if not minutes. There is no topography to hide in, just trees.
