    no, everything is too telegraphed and they don't have enough mass to make a meaningful fast breakthrough. Without doing it fast theres almost no good way. So the Ukies just let them smash themselves against their lines then withdraw when it becomes untenable.

      That's sort of the crux of Russia's problems, they can push things in their favour with a massive amount of artillery and manpower, which to some degree is a great thing to have in terms of defence. But you're not actually eliminating the enemy enough or given them a convincing enough reason to stick around under artillery barrages and at the end of the day they see the whole area is a ruined, there's no structural cover worth fighting in and no civilians are living there so they can pull back and buy time by using less frontage to cover.
      >At best its sort of a draw
      >Russia gained some territory
      >Ukraine lost some territory
      But that territory was blown to frick and is useless to anyone, the Russians expended a massive amount of their force structure to do it with 1000's of casualties and then the Ukies just slipped away. What would be more pressing is that strategically Russia's burning ammo, lives, vehicles and time to get this stuff done. They've taken a vast pounding to their mobile forces, they ground through a lot of meat from the occupied areas and there's a lot of counter offensives and skulduggery going on in the backlines which is putting pressure on their logistics even more. They're losing bases and dumps at a rate which is quite worrying, if I was a Russian on the front lines, I'd be real concerned about enough beans, bullets and bandaids being available if that keeps up

        Russia is leaning heavy on its deep reserves of Cold War stocks that may or may not work since they can't really build anything new without Western parts, especially Taiwanese chips.

        Russia is pushing heavily for territorial gains because they know they can't sustain these offensives for much longer and want to bring Ukraine to the negotiating table before that happens. All Ukraine needs to do is let the Russians grind themselves down while they train their mobilized reserves and wait for more western heavy weapons.

                They're not, unless I missed something.
                But if the Ukrainian high command is to be believed (which again is questionable, but still), they have stepped up their air strikes with their own jets.

                this guy is 100% right and vatniks will deny it even though they claimed the full encirclement of the city a month ago

                This, it's honestly interesting to see how not only Strelkov, but a lot of pro-Russian OSINT gays and reporters have become a lot more grounded in their reports (and seemingly have a lot of respect for their enemy), yet the online vatnik still clenches onto the moronic copelords and Incel Celerons.

                No, no they are not. This is a blatant fallacy. I don’t know what tabloid you were reading that stated that, but I can promise you that’s not happening.
                >raze it to the ground
                With what munitions? With what Air Force? The handful of decent quality western weapons owned by Ukraine aren’t capable of anything like that. It’s also never a great idea to bomb your own city which undoubtedly still has your own civilians living in it to some degree.

                Like damn, I know schools out for the summer, but I never realized the American education system had gotten this bad.

                Same with the separatists, better to make sure the Seperatists have the same quality of life as the Syrians

                Btw, Russia is double fricked in this regard because Ukrainians also went to Russia to work, not as cheap labour, but as skilled labour, which they won't anymore obviously.

        Yeah losing a city is hard, I'm also not very sure they could ever get that land back. Though back in 2014 the separatists got pretty far and were eventually driven back to pre-2022 lines. Obviously situation is a bit different now, but perhaps there's some chance the Russians just frick off back home?

    You will never make a real cauldron. You have no force projection. You have no effective equipment, you have no intel. You are a barbaric ape twisted by 70 years of World War 2 Propaganda and Hopium into a crude mockery of a military strategy.

    All your "Offensive Operations" you commit are half-assed and half-baked. Behind your back NATO mocks you. Your own soldiers are disgusted and ashamed by you. Your "allies" laugh at your obsolete tactics behind closed doors.

    Competent Generals are utterly repulsed by you. Thousands of years of military strategy have allowed military leaders to sniff out fake cauldrons with incredible efficiency. Even when Russia tries to move past the defender's front lines, their lack of reserves make them frick up. Your corrupt requisitions and sunken BMPs are a dead give away. And even if you manage to get some dirt poor Syrians or Chechan LARPers to team up with you, they'll abandon you the moment they realize that the other edge of the trap isn't coming because Ivan got lost in the woods.

    You will never take over Ukraine, you wrench out a fake "Just as Planned" and tell yourself it's going to be okay but deep inside you feel the hopelessness creeping up like a weed, waiting to crush you under the unbearable weight.

    Eventually it'll be too much to bear, you'll rally your men, make one last call to go over the line and plunge into the incoming MG42 fire just like your ancestors before you. Your countrymen will find you heartbroken but relieved they no long have to pretend that you're a competent general. They'll bury you with a headstone marked with your rank and status and every passerby for the rest of human history will know that a failed general rests here. All of your tactics will degrade into dust with the passing of the new era of warfare and all that will remain of your legacy is a short footnote in military tactics about how not to cauldron.

    This is your fate. This is what you chose. There is no going back.

        But for how much longer? Arty spam isn't sustainable when the hohols are blowing up at least one or two big ammo depots every day. Sooner or later the logistics of the whole thing start to fall apart and Russian artillery units find themselves having to be conserve ammo, or in some cases running out entirely.

        Arty spam was the only tactic the vatniks had left that was working for them. What happens when they can't keep it up anymore?

          Yes I think there were at least one or two twitter screencap threads of some random woman complaining about being trapped in there. The breads had alleged Talibans replying (afghani flags) by thanking them for drawing attention to the "prostitutes" and that those will be taken care of. Presumably executed. Most of the replies to the talibs consisted of variations of "based".

    Hahahahah the "orderly retreat with almost no losses or men left behind" by the Ukies was actually true? God damn, every time I think the Ukrainians would be reasonably telling a lie, it always turns out to, yet again, be the Russians who are just lying and screeching. Every time I think they may have some small advantage they frick it up, whether that's militarily or just in the PR sense. In this case, it is both.

    MHV claims Russia's artillery usage isnt sustainable, that theyre throwing the kitchen sink at the wall (including WW2 vintage howitzers and the like) to gain any possible ground they can as fast as they can, but eventually the barrels will all wear out and the old ammo stocks will be used up and they will be left with only modern artillery, which they produce relatively little of. Can anyone else corroborate? He just cites some Bulgarian guy.

      It makes sense though. Old soviet artillery shells cannot be stored forever, so most of the stuff tgey have to use is stuff from Chechnya and forward. With some optimistix numbers, that's a few million shells. Might last better part of a year, but when the ammo depos keep blowing it's not gonna matter much, and they'll deplete faster and without chance for success.

      Russian artillery fire is not sustainable due their ammo depots are getting wiped out and ruskies probably cannot into dispersed storing.
      Tubes getting worn is a more of a cope though, worn tube is just a safety risk and makes any accuracy difficult, but since when ruskies have cared about either of those?
