Lessons from Soledar?

1. Target Russian AMMO. Manufacturing, storage, etc. Ramp up sabotage and targeting. Even expendable cannon fodder like Wagner convicts need something called bullets. By the same token, Russian artillery only works when it has ammo to go with it. No bullets = no human wave. Ukrainian ammo, for its part, must be dramatically increased in terms of bullet numbers. They're going to need plenty of rounds.

2. Russians will try to flood ANY breach in a defense line. Be way more generous with the use of landmines.

3. Improve Ukrainian Logistics so ammo in particular is freely available to KILL as many Russians as possible.

4. Russians will close to point-blank range, even getting within the range of their OWN kill zones and being blasted with their own artillery.

5. Destroy all Russian transport and artillery. Even masses of idiot infantry can only move so far on foot.

6. The Wagner command & control system (i.e using drones to rely instructions) has gotta be taken out whenever possible. Rob the Russians of direction.

7. Bring artillery to bear without mercy on massed Russian formations. Break apart any attempt to bum-rush Ukrainian positions.

8. Issue melee weapons to Ukrainian forces expected to have prolonged close-quarters combat with Russian barbarians. Then running out of ammo becomes less of an issue.

9. Lay down contingency plans for when Ukrainian positions are overrun, outflanked, etc.

    Lesson from Soledar: The Russians are so demoralized and absolutely assravaged that even the smallest tactical achievement will be presented as the greatest military outcome of the war.

          I think you are vastly underestimating just how much artillery ammo a nation like russia has.
          Russia could likely fire 20,000 shells every day for the next 2 years without making any more and still not get through half their reserves.

                The issue with russia is, its all on paper. We don't know the state of their nuclear force to actually determine whether they are doing an adequate job in maintaining their nuclear arsenal. It cost the U.S. the entire Russian military budget to maintain their nuclear force. While russia spends a fraction on it. Don't forget the corruption and all other shit that is prominent in every post soviet bloc. But what I am saying is that Russia's economy is less healthy than Mexico. Mexico's economy, while lower than Russia's, is more stable due to them diversitying their economy.

                No, some of the shit that was captured has western components that were made before the sanctions in 2014. Some russian aircrafts upon further analysis after being shot down has some western components in them. Majority of modern russian equipment are produced by utilizing western components or western based facilities. Russia is very limited when it comes to their domestic production. They are not the soviet union, they don't have the capacity to rival western countries. Ukraine was the powerhouse of the Soviet union when it comes to their military and industrial capacity. Before crimea, russia planned on making thousands of t-14, to only make less than a dozen in a few years. Sanctions fricked up the russian MIC big time.

                Even before that, majority of their "domestic" production often relies on western input. For example: oil. They can produce oil, but don't know how to refine it. So they hire western based companies and equipments to refine the oil into fuel. Same thing for other domestic production, they rely on western input to make it due to their inability to learn on how to make certain things by themselves.

      3. Crawl over the resulting bodies

      It's basically ammo and manpower-intensive. Put obstacles in the path of the Vatniks aplenty, stop their advance with various horrific barriers.

      Also, massed Vatniks seem REAL vulnerable to remote-detonated IEDs.

      And in the end, the Russians still NEED a frickton of ammo to advance.

      Objectively, losing Soledar (when they actually lose it), is bad for Ukraine. It gets Russia bit closer to Bakhmut (still 10km away tho lol), and more importantly, it gets them a nice storage space that can't be easily HIMARSed: the salt tunnels

    How do you disrupt recon-in-force operations in wide open fields, interspersed with commie blocks like this? Russia is evidently willing to just march whole squads of literal cannon fodder in order to identify fortified positions to be shelled. It's also used local artillery superiority, with well trained crews, to provide highly effective counterbattery when the Ukrainians do try to dislodge actual advances into the ruins. I know the answer is "wait for the inevitable armoured push", but it's unlikely that's coming soon and Bakhmut could theoretically fall in as little as a few weeks, if everything goes in Russia's favour, since we've seen Ukraine is willing to cede the town and fall back to fortified lines in short order if it's too costly to maintain.

      Apparently the Russians are having ammo supply issues.

    Artillery bombardment destroys minefields.

      But it still forces the enemy to waste a lot of ammo on them.

    We don't even fully know what and how it happened yet. How did they break through? What did the defensive positions look like? How big was the assault etc
    You don't know any of that. You're squirting out your load of autism over your own fanfiction

    Anything can be made into a propaganda victory.
    Even if you haven't taken the town yet.

    Russia is out of bullets, and missiles too. They lost 10k tanks and resort to human wave tactics with 1 gun for every 3 people. Ukraine, if anything, is taking it easy on the Russians in order to not hurt their feelings. Russians are eating bark. Have you seen Russian rations? They ran out months ago.
