The offensive of the Ukrainian Armed Forces will continue in the winter

“It’s more difficult to fight in cold, damp and muddy conditions. But the fighting will continue. The counter-offensive will continue,” said Budanov, head of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine.

He admitted that now the offensive of the Ukrainian troops is slower than he wanted,
and in general, he called the situation with the attacking actions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces difficult.

    Makes sense honestly, while you can't really do massive armored maneuvers during mud season, what you can do is smaller scale infantry based assaults, infiltration tactics. Something that Ukraine's switched over to almost immediately.

    The artillery slugfest will likely grind on with continuing supply of western shells ramping up and successively longer ranged ballistic missiles being put to work for the Ukrainians.

      While they are using these missiles to good effect I think people are massively overestimating how many of them Ukraine is being given. They are very, very far from unlimited.

        The West is restarting ammunition lines to produce more shells to give. That's how production works and Russia is in the same boat having to make as many shells as possible while also buying from North Korea and everywhere else that they can.

      I think a lot of people are still operating under the assumption that the Southern Front is an armoured campaign, because looking as the maps, it's perfect of tank combat with flat terrain and little cover. But that doesn't take into account the massive trench lines and mine fields which are making thunder runs impossible at the moment.

      We basically have Bakhmut being played out again on a massive scale, with the infantry and the arty being a lot more important than the armoured elements until they break through them.

          They could do that but the image hit from losing crimea would be massive. It would end any idea that this war is winnable for them or beneficial, as well as the idea that all they have to do is wait for the west to get bored. Basically in a purely military sense they can hold out there for a while, but geopolitically having traded crimea for the poorest region of Ukraine, given up access to the Black Sea, and the historical vacation spot for the country in exchange for some slowly diminishing corner of farmland is an obviously terrible trade. And with that much blood in the water there is zero chance that the western world doesn’t give Ukraine everything it needs to drive them out completely even if it takes another year or two.

    Ukraine is turning into a repeat of WW1 which is already playing out with the crawling advances, endless artillery duels and mass minefields. I suspect eventually the Ukrainian advance will reach a natural end point in which both sides entrench themselves for this winter. The question is then who starts the first attack in 2024, this year it was Russia which fizzled out in a few weeks. I wonder if theyll be wary of repeating that again due to how costly it is to attack. Ukraine similarly has seen its currently much easier to remain defensive than commit units to frontal assaults.

      >Ukraine is turning into a repeat of WW1
      Its not. Casualties are not nearly as high (France actually had a smaller population in 1914 than Ukraine) and both sides are fighting using small unit tactics. There are no mass waves of infantry and massive preparatory artillery barrages. Just the Battle of the Somme alone caused more casualties than the past year and a half in Ukraine combined.

      Going by the fact that artillery is the most important factor you can call it Napoleonic as well.

        While there arent the mass slaughters like Verdun or the Somme its still the best comparison. Id say this is especially true for the Russian performance (or lack of) in both wars.

        WW1 Russia was nothing short of an utter embarrassment saved only by Austrias and the Ottomams equally embarrassing levels of incompetence. Its supply lines and logistics were almost non-existent. The Russian army was consistently short on artillery shells, motorises transports and even boots for its infantry (funny how 100 years later thats been repeated). They had hoped to be supplied via the Baltic and Black Sea but both were effectively closed off by the Germans and Ottomans so Archangelsk was the next available port to the front.

        Russian command was fractured by personal agendas, corruption and infighting particularly between the minister of war Sukhomlilov and Duke Nicholas (cousin of the Tsar). Sukhomilov was hilariously corrupt and a large reason why Russian supplies were so shit as he totally neglected supply while Nicholas was actually at the frontlines. Sukhomilov was eventually ousted and hanged with the whole scandal doing more damage than any of the Rasputin scandals.

        Tanenberg was the start of their issues, the total annihilation of the 2nd Army, the suicide of General Samsanov and the subsequent mauling of the 1st and 10th Armies at Mansurian meant they lost the bulk of their loyal officers, experienced troops and a ton of equipmemt (seem familiar).

        For loss comparisons:

        Tanenberg - German 8th Army - total strength 150,000

        Russian 2nd Army - total strength 230,000

        German losses: 13,000 with 1700 killed and 11,000 wounded or missing

        Russian losses - 78,000 killed or wounded, 92,000 captured

          This was all happening in world war 2, Korean war, Iraq-Iranian war and probably other examples as well. We're just at the stage of the war where attrition and inability to replace material loses comes into play and the front will start moving again once it does.

          >For loss comparisons:
          >Tanenberg
          That was a single battle that lasted maybe a week. It also contradictory as "WW1 style war" is always thought of in the context of the western front, with trenches and small territorial changes with much greater number of men, artillery and materiel per km of front than in the east.

          The war in the east was much more fluid. The infrastructure was not as advanced and the forces aligned were inevitably more spread out as well as unable to concentrate and react as quickly as in the west.

    https://www.agriculture.com/russian-farm-minister-says-fuel-shortages-threaten-harvest-and-sowing-7965972

    Russian Agriculture Minister Dmitry Patrushev said on Wednesday that fuel shortages threaten to disrupt autumn harvesting and sowing and urged a suspension of petroleum product exports, Interfax news agency reported.

    Russia, one of the world's biggest oil producers, has faced shortages of fuel crucial for gathering the harvest in some parts of its southern breadbasket and the situation may get worse in coming months, according to market sources.
    Traders said the fuel market has been hit by a combination of factors including maintenance at oil refineries, bottlenecks on railways and the weakness of the rouble, which incentivizes fuel exports.
    "We already have problems with the availability (of fuel). We will now stop harvesting, and we will not sow winter crops. It will be a disaster," he was quoted as telling the joint session of parliament's monitoring and agriculture committees.
    "Maybe it's time to temporarily stop exports of oil products until we stabilise the situation on the domestic market."

    ...how the fuck is Russia running out of fuel?!
    They can't harvest their grain? They can't sow winter crops? WHAT? Did nobody think of having a little bit of fuel in storage for the autumn harvest?

                Yes I’m aware that Russia’s civilian automotive industry was crushed by all the Western companies that fled Russia, leaving their factories empty and the market severely short on parts. Apparently just a little while ago Chinese auto manufacturers have flooded in and are rapidly filling the industry, it’ll be interesting to see what happens with that. Also something I wasn’t aware of is how the Russians are taking the empty factories and granting them to Russian automakers. Eg: Renault left Russia and transferred their factory to the Russian government for 1 Ruble (lol) and, eventually, they granted it to a Russian automaker Avtovaz building the brand "Moskvich", picrel.

                It was a response to your statement, not a disclaimer. The factory which lost all its value was a French factory; Russia subsequently used the free factory and returned some value to it — for Russia. I found that a little amusing.

                You’re disproving your own assertion. And it’s not semantics. Renault, a French company, opened a factory in Russia. They built vehicles for sale in Russia (and maybe for others). Western companies left Russia en-mass in a form of collective business strike in response to the invasion of Ukraine, and Renault was one of them. They closed their factory and abandoned their Russian revenue, selling the factory to the Russian government for 1 Ruble — fully divesting from the Russia. The factory used to generate a net profit for Renault, then it generated nothing at all for anyone. Russia gave it to a Russian automaker who proceeded to make cars with it. The French factory built by a French company was given to Russia who turned it into revenue for a Russian company. I found that funny.

              Shit like this is done when your industry is unable to produce actual replacements and systems capable of filling gaps in capability. Russian "Full blast" means very little as well. The share of world manufacturing that is within Russia is pitiful. Individual EU states such as France, Italy and the UK control a larger share. Germany alone something like 4x as much, forget about the rest of the EU and NATO + western aligned states that jointly control the vast majority of the worlds markets, exports, imports, financial institutions, etc. It takes a few % of that to not only negate whatever Russia is doing it but dwarf it by a considerable margin.

                No one claimed Russian industry is competitive with major European countries. In some areas they do lead the world such as tanks. Even though Russia is about 1% of the world’s industrial output (probably up by a little now) they’ve inherited the largest tank factory in the world from the USSR.

                They're not producing large number of new tanks hence older and older makes and models are being pressed in service. How many Armatas were built? They originally ordered over 2k of them back in 2015. Where are they? Okay, how about T-90's? How many of those were built in Russia in the last 30 years? Where are they? They are forced to refurbish existing tanks stocks and cannibalize for parts. Russian depots are running out of vehicles, as per satellite footage, and production can't keep up with losses. A loss rate of 1 tank per day is already unsustainable for them when they can maybe build 200 annually. They lost 10 years of production within a year.

                And do you really believe the machinery, the trained personnel and the supply of parts still exists to ramp up production to cold war era levels in Russia? Not only are they lacking half the other parts of the USSR but their manufacturing output is, especially heavy industry, nowhere near soviet levels. Consider the fact the USSR and its sphere contained more than 10% of the world economy and itself was the second largest economy in the world. Russia Today is 3% and ranks 8th which puts them barely 4th in Europe.

                Russians really fucked up on this one and now the two strongest economies, as well as other major world economies, are directly and overtly backing their enemy. Politically, economically and militarily they are overmatched. Its over and it was never a fair fight to begin with.

                They’re claiming to be getting 1000 T-90Ms for the year with their factory going full shifts 24/7. Even if that is 100% true that still wouldn’t come close to covering their losses so it’s obvious they’ll keep pulling as much as they can from mothballs. I have no idea what their actual production rate is but it is a fact that they have the largest tank factory in the world and that they’ve evaded sanctions on key components so there’s no reason why they couldn’t be on maximum output (whatever that is).

      Russia is a free market country, no one is in charge of distributing fuel. Buyers have to pay market prices and the market can be distorted by many factors — such as a war and heavy sanctions. I’m sure the government will intervene and subsidize the farmers if the situation is actually that bad.

        Gazprom is in charge of distributing fuel as well, its part of its job as the state owned fuel supplier. The entire reason a company like Gazprom is state owned is for the sake of supplying the state with fuel and keeping it under the control of the Russian people. In theory.

            Yes, and the vast majority of its shares is owned by the Russian state, who appoints politicians as its directors. The majority of the owned shares is managed by the Federal Agency for State Property Management, a RU federal government agency whose job is to administer federal state property. Other government-owned shares are owned by other fully state-owned gas companies.

            Only in the minds and words of the scum, worthless bottom feeder trash that work in media, news and politics does the USSR go from the premier communist state and organism in history to a free market economy and liberal state a mere 30 years later.

              A counterargument could be made that when control over a given area is so brief and nebulous, then only the places within the LOS of the highway itself should count as having ever been occupied.

              In my opinion that’s too much a stretch. Driving convoys down a highway can’t honestly be called "occupation", even if many convoys went through towns and other roads. There were no Ukie forces behind the convoys because the Ukie military hadn’t formed up yet and the only fighting was Territorial Defense militias doing ambushes on the convoys.

                Okay. Let’s consider Napoleon’s march through Russia. Napoleon was trying to engage the Russian army and defeat them in battle thereby forcing Russia to accept certain political demands. Now, was Napoleon conquering territory as the Grande Armée marched through it? Certainly they had to have a presence in order to run the logistics train, but does that amount to "occupying territory" as in re-drawing the map? No, right? Did Napoleon have any intent to occupy Russia? No, right? Would you draw the regions around his march as "occupied territory" which he later "lost"? You COULD but that would be super disingenuous.

      Russia was not a particularly profitable place to do business. It cost them to leave, and doing so reduced market share, but their operating margin went up. High or improved operating margin is the accountant and investors fave because its lower risk / easier money.

          no, operating margin and net profit are quite different.

          If an analogy helps, you have five children who are picking beans. Four of them pick a kilo per day, while one of them, lazy Arnold, picks half a kilo. All of them eat a quarter of a kilo of beans per day. That's 1.25kg beans lost per day, and 4.5kg beans gained per day, making for an operating margin of 3.25kg of beans. You sell your surplus beans for whatever, making you your revenue, which you use to pay for clothes and fertiliser and the fuel to run your rototill. What's left over is your net profit.

          You give Arnold a kilo of beans and tell him to go find his fortune. You now lose 1kg of beans per day, and gain 4kg of beans per day, making for an operating margin of 4kg of beans. If a big storm fucks up your bean harvest, you lose less beans feeding your remaining four children, and you may also spend less money on clothing for lazy Arnold.

        That’s just a cope. Many lost something like 6-12% of their revenue; they were operating in Russia for a reason to begin with. They took the hit, literally, because everyone else was. Some of them seem to have regretted it, or they’re smelling an opportunity to cash in where there’s suddenly no competition.

    Do we have any timeline for how NATO+ artillery (especially 155) ammunition production is ramping up?

    My understanding is that this offensive is being supplied by borrowed South Korean 155 to significant degree (SK gives to US, Canada, etc so they can give their ammunition stocks to Ukraine). Plus cluster munitions unlocked a lot of mothballed US supply, but in both cases it's a one-time boost. Meanwhile Russia is talking to North Korea which could unlock a lot of supply for them...

          No, he meant the poster not Tatarigami´s twitter as it was explained in

          I don't mean the twitter post in itself, Tatarigami is as good as it can get, what I mean is that that anon is at least acting like a NAFOgay

          And it was indeed fucking cringe nafogayry, not the PrepHole-kind of tzd wishing.

            There will be ziggers dying every day for this shit in Ukraine for decades whether Russia surrenders tomorrow or not. It's just the way it rolls when atrocity like what has been done by ziggers in Ukraine happens. No one walks away. the ones that wind up in courts are the lucky ones. revenge is a hell of a thing the way it consumes people and if you kidnap their children or torture or murder their relatives it lasts a lifetime.

                What are you even trying to fucking say. here your dead Russian,. Do you want an other one?
                Watch your fucking mouth. people who involved themselves with Russia propaganda relating to war crimes will be hunted down and receive sentence. No walking away.

                This one was used up anyway. he murdered a woman and two kids to get an apartment in Crimea and now there is a bucket filled with his extremities beside him

                Don't fuck around propagandising for Putin if you love your family.

    I remember when other generals used to get asked questions like this and it would be widely circulated. They don't have to ask the Owl every damn thing. Unless Potat is literally "Shut up and ask the owl".

    Part of the "slow pace" thing was Ukraine is trying to ensure they don't lose momentum over the mud season and winter. They just keep rolling, albeit slowly, and eventually atacms and Western jets will come..

      Most journalist questions are gotchas to create controversy. Some gay was trying to get the general to say the offense was a failure and they were going to quit.

      The thousands of stories of US generals saying "Ukraine isn't winning fast enough and we are disappointed" was actually saying "We want our Ukraine allies to win faster because we want them to win fast, but it is fucking hard so they're going as fast as they can."

        4)Noeeeee NATO and the other (many other) nations will stop sending weapons and aid to Ukraine just because
        5)You are here.
        retarded russian fucks. Get this through your retarded fucking skulls. Russia lost this war last October. The EU alone can break Russia without breaking a sweat, economically, diplomatically and militarily, just nations like Poland, Finland and Sweden and the Baltics and Ukraine have more money and time than Russia has left. Its fucking over. Russia is being erased militarily and it will not stop, down to the last russian and AK. Then Ukraine will be rebuilt just like eastern Europe was after the USSR using EU money and join NATO anyway. Do you understand? Y/N

        So honestly Potato could be going "Shut Up and ask the owl" and that's a fucking filter, because suddenly the vast majority of those journos are like squirrel nutkin but without the bravado.

        Like even if you got the stones to ask, yeah dude you got Buddy to say shit was slow and difficult but holy shit he put a stuffed ばなにゃ on his desk, turns out that's a subtle reference to what Putin was planning on having for dinner, and now you're a tool of the GUR and the FSB are out to get you. Maybe you should have stuck to asking Potato, off the top of his head, how exactly ready Ukraine was to get all the greek fucked choppers into working order??

    Reminder. We know the Ukrainians have been posting very exact figures for kills on Russians since this began because they have drone spotter footage to collate it from. Militarily Russia is ceasing to exist and NATO and other states Russia has threatened including the EU are getting exactly what they wanted in exchange for weapons sent to Ukraine. The end of Russia as even a middling conventional military power. Russia is going to cease to exist economically after the rouble completes its death spiral. It won't get any aid this time. If I was Russian I would be either trying o get out or hoarding food in the middle of nowhere because Rusisa got pretty grimdark in the 90s ad this is going to be far far worse. There might have been charitable aid like there was in 1991 but because of Russian propagandists poisonous posting for a decade no one will send even a can of beans this time.

      Just as important is that Russia is going to be filled with survivors that are either crippled for life or have some rather bad PTSD (which i'm sure alcohol will help sooth over). Realistically more kids have been born in Russia than the number of males born in Russia but i imagine this isn't necessarily true in the locations they are actually recruiting from. i.e. that little shithole with a population of a thousand that gets 1-2 births a year has probably lost a decades worth of men which will be felt either in jobs left unfilled or families left destitute because it's just the mother.

        Russia is over. If it got out of Ukraine last year it might have a had a chance but teh entire planet just wants it gone. There is no prospect of anything like the current Russia surviving this. Its best bet is being partitioned into a Chinese run zone an EU run zone and an American run zone. You want to be in the EU or US one because it's going to get pretty genocidal in the Chinese bit. The world is sick of Russian shit. Take Russia state propaganda spam off the internets (thanks snowden) and they would just be real people baying for dead Russians worldwide.

          The irony is that the only Russians who will survive will be the Russians who got Westernized, as they were either banished or fled into exile.

        Haha, no! Russia will just send them all to die in Siberia just like they did with crippled veterans in WW2.
        And I know for a fact that Russia will do this, because Russia's entire culture is based on WW2 LARP.

        So all disinfo aside, Ukraine is losing the long game. Realistically, where will Ukraine draw manpower resources from in the next two years?

    Russia looses a thousand military vehicles and 5000 men KIA every ten days when they have a defensive advantage and prepared positions and there are still Russians who think that Russia has a hope in this war. To last until December Russia needs to come up with another 10,000 military vehicles and artillery pieces and 50000 men to die.

      Russians enter into disastrous war and carry out mass war crimes while loosing their military. Russians go on the internet and spam badly drawn forced memes of morons and trannies. When asked what they mean by this even the Russians do not know.

    This is having to be said as a direct result of the absolute retardation that milley spewed out of his ass two days ago. Morale would drop if the ukies didn't at least say something, after that fat retarded traitor decided to say Ukraine combat ops would end in 30 days. He really needs a bullet to the brain.
