moron here. Isn't it better to leave the river escape route intact? The soldiers can escape but they can't take their vehicles and heavy equipment with them. Cutting off the escape route completely will just make them fight to the death

    No, it will leave them without supply and have them surrender. POW conventions have ensured that surrendering to Western affiliated forces is a vastly superior choice than fighting to death.

    1) You can't set up a valve to let supply amnpower and materials only go one way. Destroying the bridges mean no reinforcements are coming.

    2) If you can entirely destroy an enemy force, is that no better than letting some forces escape and regroup

    3) Not offering routes of retreat is not equivalent to offering no quarter. The hope would be that some Russians would surrender rather than fight to the death

    Inhulets isn't particularly impressive as far as rivers go. You can easily swim it even if you're not fit and your greatest swimming achievement is being able to doggie-paddle.

    Dniepr/Dnipro is also at its narrowest in Kherson, the the river delta itself having lots of islands, as deltas are prone to. Also Dniepr itself isn't particularly fierce of a river. For the most part it is a very lazy river. Any lad that isn't out of shape can swim it. At least, I did between the ages of 12 and 16. Although admittedly that was several hundred Km north of Kherson, and I was a very good swimmer (train in olympic pool since child). Get a couple of kiddie floaters or even a large piece of styrofoam and crossing it becomes EZ PZ.

    Of course, you're not bringing any equipment across. Probably not even your boots.

      That's presuming any of these guys know how to swim, they're in good physical condition and aren't wounded. Even then, at the scale of tens of thousands, you're talking about hundreds of casualties and dozens of fatalities, if we're being charitable. They'd have to abandon everything... Up to and including their boots. Depending on how cold the water is this time of year, you'll have issues. Poor nutrition and a lack of proper hydration will likely exacerbate such an attempt.

      An army telling its soldiers to abandon all of its kit, weapons, vehicles, food, loot and equipment and swim for their lives is not an army anymore. It is a route. A refugee column.

          >Once the Power of Siberia pipeline reaches its capacity, Russia could be delivering nearly 60 bcm to China (assuming existing LNG flows to Asia remain). Russia also sells around 20 bcm of LNG to Europe. This LNG comes from projects in the north (Yamal) and west (Vysotsk and Portovaya). For the projects in the west, near Saint Petersburg, Europe is the natural market. For the LNG flowing out of the Yamal Peninsula, Europe is a year-round destination, while Asia receives more gas when the northern sea route is navigable. At an added cost, however, all these volumes could end up in Asia. Together, they could help Russia sell around 80 bcm into Asia—all without new projects.

          >Russia typically sells 160 to 200 bcm to Europe on an annual basis. With existing infrastructure, Russia could deliver 80 bcm to Asia, split between pipeline gas and LNG. Some upside to this figure is possible. NOVATEK could complete the first train of Arctic 2, and maybe, over time, the other two trains. Russia could expand its pipeline exports to China, although the big prize, Power of Siberia 2, faces uncertain prospects. Russia is unlikely to sell as much gas to Asia as it does to Europe now. But it could close the gap; it is possible to imagine scenarios where Russia sells 100 to 120 bcm to Asia by 2030. This would be a remarkable accomplishment given where Russia was a decade ago.

          Russia is making record profits with oil and gas sales while europe is not sure if it'll keep its industry running and people warm during winter, pathetic.

Also, you braindead morons don't actually have the infrastructure to sell and deliver worthwhile amounts to India - and that was before the overwhelming majority of the world's maritime shipping capacity started refusing to transport russian cargo.

        Meanwhile, actual numnbers show that Russias gas income has already cratered massively, their own govenrment is admitting to 6% GDP shrinkage within the last 6 months and entire industrial sectors are outright crashing.

        https://i.imgur.com/BQy2O26.png

        https://www.csis.org/analysis/can-russia-execute-gas-pivot-asia

        >Once the Power of Siberia pipeline reaches its capacity, Russia could be delivering nearly 60 bcm to China (assuming existing LNG flows to Asia remain). Russia also sells around 20 bcm of LNG to Europe. This LNG comes from projects in the north (Yamal) and west (Vysotsk and Portovaya). For the projects in the west, near Saint Petersburg, Europe is the natural market. For the LNG flowing out of the Yamal Peninsula, Europe is a year-round destination, while Asia receives more gas when the northern sea route is navigable. At an added cost, however, all these volumes could end up in Asia. Together, they could help Russia sell around 80 bcm into Asia—all without new projects.

        >Russia typically sells 160 to 200 bcm to Europe on an annual basis. With existing infrastructure, Russia could deliver 80 bcm to Asia, split between pipeline gas and LNG. Some upside to this figure is possible. NOVATEK could complete the first train of Arctic 2, and maybe, over time, the other two trains. Russia could expand its pipeline exports to China, although the big prize, Power of Siberia 2, faces uncertain prospects. Russia is unlikely to sell as much gas to Asia as it does to Europe now. But it could close the gap; it is possible to imagine scenarios where Russia sells 100 to 120 bcm to Asia by 2030. This would be a remarkable accomplishment given where Russia was a decade ago.

        Russia is making record profits with oil and gas sales while europe is not sure if it'll keep its industry running and people warm during winter, pathetic.

        >Russia in the best case looking at a ~60% loss of sales

        Meanwhile in reality their oil and gas income has already cratered by more than 50% compared to last year.

        >while europe is not sure if it'll keep its industry running and people warm during winter,

          Yes and no. On the one hand, if you can capture them it is much better than them retreating to fight another day. They won't fight to the death if you have a history of not castrating prisoners.

    No, not in this situation. Both sides are suffering from serious manpower issues BUT the Russian manpower issue is worse. They still have ridiculous amounts of Soviet stockpiles they’re busily making ready, so losing heavy equipment is less of a problem for Russia. That manpower-equipment imbalance is the guiding concept of the BCT itself. So it’s imperative that Ukraine kills Russian manpower.

    Now, speaking of infowar. The Russian infowar against Ukrainian defenders promising good pow treatment and constantly appealing to them to surrender was super effective. This is very likely what defeated Azovstal and destroyed the Azov, which were Ukraine’s best most motivated troops. Ukraine needed to take a similar approach which would have had a huge impact by now…but they just won’t or can’t. When history looks back on this war I bet academia will point to Russia’s propaganda efforts on the battlefield to be a decisive factor.

      Firstly, most of Avov was at Kharkov, not Mariupol. Secondly, the only reason they surrendered was running out of ammo. Thirdly, are we now talking of the same Russian armed forces here, who castrate POWs with boxcutters and impale them on stakes; posting videos and pictures of both?

      Our gas storage is reasonably full, but it will still be a tough year if we cut out Russian gas entirely: https://agsi.gie.eu/
      While we don't necessarily risk having people sitting in the cold, our industry & agriculture will suffer from it. Both need massive amounts of gas, either as a fuel or as a derivative (such as ammonia based fertilizer).

      No one is buying Russian oil, vatnig.
      You literally lost most of your customers when you started the invasion.

      >No one is buying Russian oil, vatnig.
      Oil export never really stopped, dude. Not like we saw in gas.
      The import ban by sea will only hit by the end of the year. And the landbased pipelines are excluded from the ban.

      https://i.imgur.com/kKnOhio.jpg

      And this is from may, exports may well have increased now that india is selling russian oil to europe to make some profit 🙂

      India and China may have a large hunger for oil & gas, neither of those countries have the infrastructure needed to come close to the volumes of what Europe used to buy. Building that infrastructure will likely take over a decade. To compound that problem, you also have to keep in mind that no one paid more for Russian gas & oil per unit than what Europe did. India & China will never agree to paying remotely what we are.
      Russia can easily bridge that decade, because it is self-sufficient in terms of agriculture. However, in terms of technology, Russia is a shithole, and that will be felt by the common people. China and India will no doubt alleviate some of that, but it'll still be painful.

    Man you people. The Pentagon, from the first few weeks, analyzed the Russian supply problems. Remember? They concluded that logistics were fricked up, BUT that was a self-inflicted issue that they were expected to fix over time. This was before the propaganda messaging was fully aligned so it was possible for the Pentagon to offer unfiltered analysis like that.

      They improved things by shortening their supply lines (abandoning their "feint") and operating under cover of massed artillery that was supplied with trains and heavy road-bound trucks.

    The other thing I’m tired of explaining. Sanctions. They hurt Russia, but NOT to the level they would hurt other countries. Why? Because Russia is an oil state. The ruling group (Putin’s circle of friends and major oligarchs) never bothered developing the Russian economy with their energy rents. That surplus money mostly went into palaces, yachts, private jets, vacation homes, money laundering ventures and so on. Also paying bribes and generally supporting the "systema". And finally, pumping hundreds of billions into foreign cash reserves. Russia did develop but very slowly and not to anything like the degree it should have. So, sanctions which would have crushed a European nation and forced a regime change by industry figures on the brink of ruin — only "hurt" minor oligarchs and regular Russians. Undoubtedly some pain is being felt by Putin’s circle and they want out from under those sanctions, but it’s NOT enough to break them from Putin’s "systema". Even cutting off European gas, the bedrock of the systema is made up for partially by the massive increase is fuel prices so it can keep going for a while like this.

    So yes you can look at individual industries in Russia and jack yourself off to how they’re being ruined but that does NOT equal damage to the power structure nor does it significantly impact its ability to continue the war.

          Even before falling from grace, he has called Putin and everybody else in power complete morons that are destroying Russia.
          Recently, one of Strelkov's former minions decided to get back at him by spreading a fake about Strelkov getting caught trying to smuggle himself into Ukraine. That's where that photo is from.

        There is actually a lot of variation in eyebrows. They can range from really thick and bushy (and sometimes in odd positions, like lower than normal) to a thin strip that you see in most people to just not fricking there. Humans in general have a really odd relationship with hair genetics. Just look at baldness or the inability to grow beards. We think there is some universal standard, but there isn't.

      This war has taught me one thing: Never ever get your hopes up. Doesn't matter if you are pro-RU, pro-UA or anything in between and beyond. It's war. Celebrate afterwards, but getting your hopes up during the whole thing will only disappoint you.
      Ukraine has shown a fantastic defense so far, but we have no idea about their offensive capabilities. Let's wait for a few days and see what this amounts to. With my current knowledge (mostly interviews with high ranking Ukies und Russians + various OSINT stuff) I really don't see any quick advance and/or massive territorial gains for the Ukies. Let's hope I am wrong on this one.

    Allowing an enemy to flee is advantageous for smaller battles with active fighting.A soldier that is still in battle is more likely to fight to the death when he can’t run.For modern large scale strategical warfare it‘s best to cut off the enemy from reinforcements and supplies. And then force units to surrender while they are demoralized and unable to continue to fight after they lost and retreated from the the smaller pitched battles.Soldiers can still retreat from active combat but not far enough to escape the encirclement.Allowing the enemy to retreat in such a case would allow them to resupply and counter attack.

    This is true, but only for enemies who know they will receive no quarter. History is rife with examples of tens of thousands of men being encircled and cut off from supplies or reinforcements and subsequently surrendering. In fact, there are several examples of Russia doing so both in WWI and WWII.

      It's just Sun Tzu. Especially back when battles were fought to the death and fleeing enemies were hopeless prey for cavalry, making your enemy think they can escape and killing them as they flee was more effective than surrounding them and giving them an excuse to do a last stand. As another anon said, modern PoW conventions make this paradigm a little different, with mass surrenders becoming more attractive now that they don't result in a life of slavery for the surrendering troops. Plus surrounding an enemy is vital to destroying their supply lines, making victory come sooner than if you left a lifeline open like Sun Tsu would have you do.

                There are none, Russia's not going to waste Pontoon equipment on three bridges they're going to save the rest for when Ukraine inevitably blows up the Pontoon bridge they're working on.

                Milliard is also an english word. Most of the world, including continental europe, uses long scale counting.

                I didn't promise anything, I'm just sure there's a few glowies around here who could do it.

    >moron here. Isn't it better to leave the river escape route intact?
    yes. you are right. especially since russians already brought in the equipment for the war during the FALL and rain season and WINTER season. i have no fricking clue why Pentagon decided to start the assault now and is trying to destroy the bridges which are not used by russian military much anyway. those bridges are not even guarded by air defense and guards. all ammunition and supplies routes are going by the ship and rail routes there. the only videos in the internet arte showing only local civilian transportation and russian private companies moving beaten ukrainian armored vehicles to crimea for repair. honestly i have no fricking clue why bydloes just stormed most armed positions in whole south and let over 2000 own soldiers die this weekend.

      Lmao, what ship and rail routes?
      The rail connection to Kherson was destroyed in July and the closest you can get to a “ship route” is Skadovsk, which still requires either rail or car to deliver to Kherson. It is not a port city, you know? It stands on a river and half of its mouth is still controlled by Ukraine, so there is no chance of any ships going across Dnieper to Kherson any time now. You seem to be quite ignorant of the geography of southern Ukraine, why do you even bother sharing your unfounded opinion?
