Fresh image of the preparations for a bloody battle for control of Bakhmut.
Trenches are dug parallel to the roads. They are willing to defend the city and make it very painful for the vatniks.

Do the ruskie T-72's in ukraine carry any plows at all to force obstacles? Haven't seen any I think
they have anti-tank rollers, haven't seen plows yet
anti-anti-tank mine rollers*
Whats stopping a tank from shooting them?
5 men and 1 car can clean that
>obstacle placed in usable path/road
>shoot it with 125mm cannon
>obstacle shards everywhere and giant hole in the patch you wanted to use
The tank can drive over the new small obstacles
Now you made more obstacles and damaged the road. This is why hedgerows were such a massive pain in the ass in Western Europe until Shermans got bulldozers, and some funnies with flamethrowers rolled up.

Yes. Unironically frick Lenin the commie bastard.
no, see, troons are a 'psyop', so if you pay attention to the fact that USA is the troon world central, you're a vatnik
I did not know troons existed before USA started worshiping them
it's on you to put them back into the closet
I did not know troons existed until Russians started seething about them.
>a guy who wears a dress and uses dildos sometimes is the reason Russia is failing to invade a neighboring country
it's not the reason, and you knew that's not what I'm saying, so why derail like this? because you can't engage what I wrote directly
>t. guy trying to change the subject of the whole thread
guess what, to any westerner a "troon" (it's very obvious you're not from here btw) is a thing you see at a gay club when your friend takes you there once in your early 20s. or maybe someone you see walking on your campus for 5 seconds. literally no bearing on anything important ever.
your "conservative trad alt right amazing country" is going to balkanize and putin is going to hang.
>is a thing you see at a gay club when your friend takes you there once in your early 20s
That's gay dude
yep, what are you going to do about it vatnik?
I'm American. I just never heard of any straight people doing that outside of Scandinavian tourists
you're both so fricking obviously not from here. you know people used to make jokes about fricking deer on this very board right?
just fricking leave. nobody likes you.
Don't need to seethe just because you're gay bro.
>brings up troons first
>instantly derails thread
it's alright
americans are super, insanely fricking homophobic to the point that almost all native english anti-lgbt shit you see on the internet comes from them.
literally not american. a friend from work wanted to go to one and we were all like "yeah ok might as well". it was fine. one dude called me cute, i said thank you but i'm not interested, that was it.
>I will leave when I feel like it, you are welcome to seethe more
no, you'll leave when russia loses.
I didn't bring up troons. You and the other guy did talking about gay bars
projection. I live in Chicago, never had any women try and take me to a gay bar
>i-it wasn't me
you're the one going on about gay people in a thread about bakhmut you homosexual.
Lol that seethe over letting it slip you are a homosexual. All you had to do was bring up the Moscow troony brothel that was raided recently, or the Russian politician that was arrested in Odessa with a troony in his bedroom and the vatnik would've just screeched and run away
nta but straight women are OBSESSED with gays and trannies for some reason. if you live in a big city then pretty much every woman you meet will at one point try to drag you to a drag show or gay bar. sometimes I wish I was gay so I wouldn’t have to deal with moronic straight women anymore
I never heard of it. Maybe you are just secretly gay
>never heard of it
because you probably don’t talk to women
This sounds like one of those things you heard on /misc/, felt it confirmed everything you already thought, then started repeating it.
For some reason I read Therapist as The Rapist.

there's tens of millions of men in Europe still not completely on board the 'globohomo', and when they see the 'progress' your culture has made in the last decade, they are disgusted, and they will remind you of that once in a while
troons are a potent symbol of those changes, so they get a lot of airtime
Dude you are living in a delusion. Even in "republican" states there are trannies walking around out in the open every day. Open your fricking eyes, troony's are becoming more and more normal. Until everyone is a troony, there are no families left and we are consumer #1 #2 #3 and so on and so forth. We need to contain and control mental diseases, not encourage them.
>>frick lenin, we will get new lgbt troony history form EU and US
How exactly do you expect people to “engage” this? By pointing out that Lenin was an objectively shitty person who dedicated his life to a failed ideology? Or by questioning what any of this has to do with trannies?
When I assert
>no, see, troons are a 'psyop', so if you pay attention to the fact that USA is the troon world central, you're a vatnik
I expect a direct response when someone disagrees, not someone putting words in my mouth, it's that simple

For anyone who was wondering what Saddam Hussein's last moments looked like, this is the picrel you should study. They fricked up the drop height vs. rope length and popped his head off, exactly like this statue. It's why Iraq didn't broadcast the hanging, just issued some still photos. Fun fact is that there had to have been a dozen or so running at the time. The video exists. Somewhere.

they raised 300,000 men and their biggest success is a town of 10,000 (4/5 captured too). if i were a paid russian shill, i would quietly doff my hat and look for a way out to the west, hoping my name is not on some list

lol and took said town with ~40k quadrouple felon murderers, while the 'regular Russian army" watched on drone monitors
now matter what turn you shills take,
390k the ukrainians have lost their life to LOSE a war of racist ethnic agression they started in 2014 against Russian civilians in the donbass

They need to take and hold it first. When the Ukrainians take Kreminna it'll undermine Russian logistics to the point where they won't be able to supply their forces taking Bakhmut easily and will have to pull people away

I hate to sound like an armchair general but this seems like a fricking awful idea
Even if the city is lost, it will boost morale to show how difficult it was for the city to be taken by the vatniks. Morale wins wars.
Ehhh this only worked for Mariupol because the defenders assumed they would be executed upon surrender. Fortress cities were stupid in ww2 and they are stupid now. Russia will gladly kill 50k convicts to capture 5k Ukies
They ain't got infinite convicts. And they're going to find it hard to find new ones with how many have died.
>They ain't got infinite convicts. And they're going to find it hard to find new ones with how many have died.
AHAHHAHAHHAHAH Russia has ~50k Wagner-felons dog-walking the ukraine, out of a pre-war prison population of 440k
Russia can go on de-populating and demographically raping the ukraine for as long as the dipshit hohols want
I dunno, they are short on resources other than bodies. Human wave attacks don't work that well in 2023
They were stupid on the Eastern Front because the soviets could easier bypass them. The Russians in 2023 can't. Also they were effective on the Western Front.
Its not a fortress city. Its part of a line. A very well prepared line. If they pull back they fall onto a weaker defensive line. Not only that but they will now be defending strategic ground.
Rather fight in a better position over something not essential than a weaker position over something essential.
In that case my question is what do the Ukrainians intend on doing to further defend the city? Is their strategy to just try and bleed out the Russians in urban combat, or are they preparing counteroffensives elsewhere to try to take the pressure off?
Its pretty obvious that both sides are planning big offensives when the ground gets better. Idk why the Russians are grinding around Soledar and Bakhmut but for the Ukranians, letting the Russians wear themselves out on a strong defensive line while you prep for a counter attack makes sense.
I know this. But when the lines flank collapses your supposed to withdraw to the stronger Slavyansk Kramatorsk one, not consolidate inside of the city and just wait to get encircled. This WILL happen and even if Russians take 10:1 losses taking the city it wont be worth it
has the flank collapsed?
On the other hand, do we know that they're consolidating inside of the city with the intention of defending it to the last man or is it just the usual propaganda that constantly exaggerates the situation?
I thought cats had god tier reflexes
That looks like a Siamese cat, and as pretty as they are, they are notorious smoothbrained morons because of inbreeding.

Mariupol was a nice victory
no kher?
You’re absolutely right. Ukraine is strained in the city now, but just imagine how fierce the counter attack to retake the city will be. Those vatnig russian orcs won’t stand a chance.
>have one chance at life
>forced to fight to the death for a random city so that people on /r/worldnews feel good for 30 seconds
>have one chance at life
>forced to fight to the death for a random city so that people on /chug/ feel better for 30 seconds
but in that case the city will actually be taken
And? How does that benefit the random vatnik who died trying to take someone else's land. At least the Ukrainians died defending their homeland.

It's true though, if you had any self-reflection, you'd see nobody believes okrainian stories anymore.

Again with the lying. Russia never claimed Moskva returned to port under its' own power. This is just another false narrative created by okrainian shills, and is a good case in point why nobody believes you anymore.

>it’s an awful idea do defend a city you’re enemy is willing to expend its entire fresh manpower base on
Okay moron. Ukies fought tooth and nail for severaldonuts and were able to successfully deplete the Russian’s manpower so much so that they were able to conduct two successful counter offensives and forced Russia to do a very unpopular, underwhelming mobilization. Ukies have their a sizable force in reserve ready to strike when the Russians are at their weakest.
>ukies always deplete orc ranks before a major counteroffensive
Severodonetsk resulted in thousands of ukie kia and captured, it was in absolutely no way a Ukrainian victory/feint or whatever your trying to say. The Russian advance halted after the arrival of HIMARS, not because of losses. The counteroffensives came like 5 months later and was a result of the entire wars losses and Russias inability to get new contract soldiers. Severodonetsk and Lysychansk were disasters for the zsu and prove (once again) how idiotic fortress cities are
> The counteroffensives came like 5 months later
Are you moronic? Severaldonuts was captured on June 25th and Lynchingchangs was captured in early July. Kharkiv counteroffensive started In early September, Kherson started late August. In what universe is late August/ early September 5 months away from the end of June/beginning of July?
If severaldonuts was really as bad as you claim it was for Ukraine then they couldn’t have achieved their success afterwards. The vatBlack folk literally blew their wad on severaldonuts. Also HIMARs were delivered in mid-June, so severaldonuts and lynchingchangs were captured after HIMARs arrived in country.
>Fresh image
its month+ old
If Mariupol held out for 5 months at a fraction of supplies and support, how long would Bakhmut hold? I'd say a whole year at least
It's all in vain when Artimovsk gets surrounded and the morons never get to use their trenches because they will have to surrender.
Ukrainians will beg that we airlift them supplies. We will comply, WW3 begins. I'll see you on the battlefield my brother.
Oh my god this is deeply problematic, didn't you know trillions of v*tnicks are dying for every ukranian soul and this is all part of the plan? Stop spreading rumors milblogger, lives are at stake if NATO finally gets sick of these clowns and stops sending them al of their advanced weapons systems in return for frickall

What's the point of holding this strategically irrelevant city and losing hundreds in urban fights and after artillery strikes? Russia may be losing 2x or even 3x more troops there, but these are mostly Wagner prisoners or mobiks, while Ukraine loses its best troops here. Just leave Bakhmut and prepare next defensive lines, and keep training troops for offensive in the south.
Seems like Ukrainian AF are making huge mistakes now, maybe it's not as bad as RuAF did in the first days of war, but nevertheless they have already lost thousands of their best soldiers in Soledar and Bakhmut, who could have taken part in fighting near Kreminna.
>Seems like Ukrainian AF are making huge mistakes now,
Both they and the Zogmericans are telling Zelensky to retreat but he is choosing not too because he is a former actor and is too concerned with PR. They will get encircled and Kiev and NATO will end up with a big egg on their face.
Zelensky does not command AFU, Zaluzhny does. Maybe he knows something that we don't know, but from my chair it looks like holding Bakhmut is a stupid decision.
NATO should send more than 100 IFVs and 14 tanks if it is truly interested in the Ukrainian victory and the long-term weakening of Russia.
You are missing the point a bit here. That’s exactly how much they can afford to send right now. I’m not fricking with you or trying to shill for the Russians by saying that western militaries are at an all time low point in terms of equipment and personnel readiness. The issue is that political pressures internally within most of these countries have undermined the meritocracy needed to have a functioning military, which has led to widespread bureaucratic bloat and massive retention issues. This results in the personnel being tasked being less competent, and the money not going as far as it used to. Repeat this cycle for a decade or so, and you end up with large portions of the logistical chain being basically vestigial, and even larger portions of the equipment required for direct action reaching critical-low readiness levels. Sending tanks or AFVs to this conflict is an extremely costly endeavour, not just in terms of materiel, but also in terms of the resources that need to be diverted. To perform pre-checks, training, and transportation, resources that every NATO country was already short on.
Also, none of the western NATO countries have a merchant navy anymore.
Tanks and ammo are a bit heavy to airlift.
>Also, none of the western NATO countries have a merchant navy anymore.
You're an absolute idiot. There's more than 200 million gross tonnage registered under European flags alone, a lot more if you count the tonnage that sails under flags of convenience, but is under European ownership and management.
What makes you think that Flags of Convenience crews are going to actually SAIL those ships into contested waters?
During Desert Storm, there were 17 Flags of Convenience ships that flatly refused to enter the Persian Gulf…against Iraqi Naval Power.
200 million tons GRT doesn’t mean dick, you fricktard.
What KIND of ships are what matters…and what flag they fly.
You think you’re going to transport tanks on a Liberian tanker with a Filipino rare and Indian officers?
Think again.
There's no need to sail into contested waters, there plenty of good ports in Northwestern Europe, and plenty of Car Carriers and Boxships under allied flag.
You made a dumb and ill informed comment regarding NATO Merchant Navy capabilities, man up.
t. Merchant Navy gay who personally knows Officers who sailed into The Gulf during Desert Storm.
>Zelensky does not command AFU, Zaluzhny does
On paper....
>the long-term weakening of Russia
lol, lmao
the ENTIRE war is a symptom of that decline, neither victory nor defeat would change that rofl
There is a railway that passes through Bakhmut you stupid c**t. It’s the supply bloodline to support Russian FOB’s granted they break through.
If not there then where?
I mean it'd be even worse if they were fighting them off somewhere it would be actually bad if they broke through
>What's the point of holding this strategically irrelevant city and losing hundreds in urban fights and after artillery strikes?
What's the point of taking it?
What's the point of this goddamn war?
Why ask these questions? I don't care why Russians started this war. We only need to find a way to make them lose.
>2-3x troops
Anon, it's a city, they have artillery cover, AND they're fighting literally prisoner conscripts with no experience.
What part of 10x casualties when attacking cities do you not understand.
Bahkmut will fall once all the buildings are rubble and the town is effectively worthless for pulling out more casualties and Ukraine no longer values it as a valuable asset to hold. Falling back is less about "we have lost too many men" and far more "we haven't enough cover left to be worth holding".
it's pointless to argue with these morons anon, he's already decided that prisoners being forced to do human wave attacks is ok and not a loophole to execute tens of thousands of prisoners in direct violation of russian law
It's Russia tradition to murder its own civilians nothing has changed.
Let me break it down for you
The one credible image we've seen of the forces next Bakhmut shows the Russians fielding a corps sized unit of Wagnerites (30,000 to 90,000 men) plus at least one division sized element (~10,000 men) of Russian regulars against a collection of a dozen or so Ukrainian units, none of which are above regiment size (500 to 2000 men). This means the following:
>Russian forces in the Bahmut area massively outnumber Ukrainian forces
>Russian forces are forbidden from retreating once they attack under pain of death
>Russian forces have been continuously attacking Bahkmut for seven months
>Russian forces have not captured Bakhmut
I will let you draw your own conclusions.
Lmao at this troony nafo teir cope, there was more than that just in soldar.
The VDV were at soledar, along with all the other russian forces i mentioned (since it is within spitting distance of Bakhmut) and the russians couldn't take that town either.
>Ukraine puts its best troops in Bakhmut and not assaulting Kreminna and Svatove with success (92nd for example)
>or training to get the new shiny Western arms
The moment Russia realizes oh shit the Ukrainians are just doing an holding action until their new leopards, bradleys arrive while they try to raise another 500,000 to do meat wave attacks and another 1000000 flee the country
>Ukrainian Forces Retreat
seems to be the only thing left the afu can achieve.
lol the ukraine has completely and impotently petered out into a fricking rag-tag mess of regroooopers and retreeeeeaters
lol imagine fricking up the 'offensive' to push out the 'invader' and take your country back.
lol its like the ukraine got "the bad-ending" because they fricking sucked at the game, and made the wrong choices (like ally itself with USA path)
its going be a 2nd Christmas the day hohol homosexuals sign their unilateral surrender and unconditional de-militarization and balkanization
The idea these gays are going on the offensive is literally insane. This is the bulk of their army and they are in retreat. The /k/opes are getting crazier as time goes on too
>This is the bulk of their army
can you tell us how many soldiers it is?
Russia hasn't force Ukraine to commit their reserves to defending Bakhmut yet. It's funny how Vatniks are physically incapable of learning from their mistakes, it's probably all the fetal alcohol syndrome.
Remember this time last spring where Ukraine was retreating slowly but steadily and employing defense in depth? Remember how the fact that Russia was unable to make any large breakthroughs meant they went through a massive amount of ammo, manpower and material doing this? Remember how it left them weak in the north for a Ukrainian armored assault?
Of course you don't because you were told this was all "part of the plan". VatBlack folk will never learn because they can't even admit they've made mistakes.
what are the funny little symbols over the units?
These are the same number of units that have been there since last February. The same number that were there while the Ukrianians overran Kupiansk and Izyum and Kherson.
>muh bulk of their army
You're moronic.

Ukraines job is to use Western weapons to destroy the invaders military. Territory really doesn't matter, while the invader army is being wrecked, Western economic measures ruin the invaders economy.
Ukraine will get the 'bad ending', though

>these countries did well so Ukraine will do well
that's a bold assertion, you'll need to do a bit more work than that
one obvious issue is that 1940s and thereabouts was a different time, demographically
>1940s and thereabouts was a different time, demographically
Yeah the west was a lot poorer and the global economy much smaller back then, so it was much harder to rebuild a countries economy at that time than it is now
it was still a time of demographic boom, which is a huge tailwind for a ruined country
>west was a lot poorer and the global economy much smaller back then, so it was much harder to rebuild a countries economy
you can just as well say that since baseline was lower, it was easier to get back to it
besides, these countries, if you can even talk about them all at once, primarily rebuilt themselves - it was not some benevolent external effort
I don't expect Ukraine getting much help after the war, it will be swept under the rug, drained of all the best people
Look up the Marshall plan
Sorry, just mentioning it is not enough, question is, was it actually beneficial to recipients, was is a significant factor etc.
>12 billion 1950s dollars of aid

no, I think it's not
well nobody cares what you think because you're clearly fricking moronic anon.
how much was 13 billion in relation to the GDP of recipient countries? that's the most obvious first question
you just namedrop a well known aid program, see large number, behave as if it is proven USA made Europe after the war, and sperg when challenged
no, you clearly didn't study this in school. you don't know what you're talking about and are engaging in meaningless contrarianism. nobody is engaging with you because you're fundamentally uninformed and nobody wants to give you a detailed overview (you won't accept the quick one as we've already seen) of post ww2 european reconstruction.
it's also funny that you conveniently ignore japan.
you're just trying to make some shit up about how apparently ukraine is full of old people, has lost its women, etc and therefore we should all just abandon it. pushed far enough you'll probably start making jokes about the rape of ukrainian women or some disgusting shit.
you're full of shit and everyone can see it.
>nobody wants to give you a detailed overview
we either trade assertions or discuss, and when discussing, your assertions will be questioned, I doubt this is a surprise to you, so what's the issue exactly
>it's also funny that you conveniently ignore japan.
I don't, we barely traded a few sentences, sorry I did not go into detail where apparently you think I should have, I guess it was on you to begin there
>you're just trying to make some shit up about how apparently ukraine is full of old people [...]
I have an opinion of what the trajectory of Ukraine will be after the war, yes
>we should all just abandon it
What I actually said earlier was, I wish US glowBlack person did not meddle in Europe, trying to create a proxy war they like, beyond that, you have no way to know since I did not say anything
>he's still trying to argue even though someone has pointed out he's arguing in bad faith
at some point you're going to realize why nobody else is responding to you. probably in 5-6 years when you turn 18.
btw for your future baiting using glowBlack person or proxy war in reference to ukraine post february 2022 is so fricking obvious only the newest /misc/ user would fall for it.
The US didn't start this war, Russia did
Its not a proxy war, its an actual war being fought between Russia ad Ukraine
Its an actual war being fought between Russia and Ukraine that Russia is losing, because Russia is weaker than Ukraine
>if you can even talk about them all at once, primarily rebuilt themselves - it was not some benevolent external effort
>I don't expect Ukraine getting much help after the war, it will be swept under the rug, drained of all the best people
ahaha. sure champ. global capital is just going to not want to make hundreds of billions off Ukraine. The DoD isnt salivating at the thought of arming Ukraine to the fricking teeth with US weaponry. You know the US, russias number one global adversary and the number one weapons exporter of the entire fricking planet.
>things are different
Yes, they are. Capital is digitized, you can move it around the world in an instant. The global economy allows for the rapid and reliable movement of physical capital like humans and raw materials. We won't have to occupy Ukraine and will start off with excellent relations. Ukraine has alot of hydrocarbons. every one that matters will blame russia. Its a pretty sweet set up. If the illuminated ones orchestrated this I kneel
>pretty sweet set up
If you're a prime mutt, looking to secure hegemony, or a israelite looking to make money, sure
if you're an Ukrainian, it's all rather grim
A lot less grim than becoming a Russian satellite state, every single one they've ever had has been a dystopian shithole
and half the mutt satellites are getting overrun with Black folk in their ethnic homelands
see, I can make sweeping statements too
>using glowBlack person or proxy war
what's wrong with these? glowBlack folk suddenly not real? proxy wars not real?
>nobody else is responding to you
I don't know, there's plenty, and that one coward even started on a decent discussion before sperging when challenged
>The US didn't start this war, Russia did
And I wrote, laid foundations, not started
it obviously is a proxy war
go back. the board as a whole gracefully allows morons like you to post about non-weapons-related things, it doesn't want you to post this moronic /misc/ shit.

Plenty of American satellites have very few Black folk, but there hasn't ever been a non shithole Russian satellite.

that's why I said half, and it's despite the US influence, not because of it

Grim? Hey bub, look what happened to other former russian occupied states that joined the West. Way better off now. Ukraine also has much more to offer than those other countries. Nobody wants anything to do with russia, besides other failed states.
>Ukraine will get the 'bad ending', though
couldnt have said it better myself

Russia cleared dissidents, and validated 30 year old junk, to erase 80 years of western hegemony in 11 months
what the ABSOLUTE FRICK was the USA thinking invading Russia?
literally what in the name of God were they thinking?

fricking why?

I'm a /k/ oldgay that has slowly come to the realization that I've been duped by propaganda, it all started when I began to go on wikipedia and look at the early life section of many of the influential figures in American media and politics who were the strongest advocates for supporting Ukraine and for engaging in a conflict with Russia
>I'm a /k/ oldgay

Not everyone is a moronic /misc/cel who suddenly started paying attention to Ukraine only a year ago when it became the current thing. Some of us have been following events there for nearly 20 years so can easily see through your gay shilling.

You are not alone bro.
Since most of the Bot Farms are ran by Prighozin, maybe he's just having a b***hfit as the Russian MoD and Vladdy boy have thrown him under the bus?

so 60k men? So you are saying Ukraine has some 600k soldiers somewhere else?
post your estimate for size of afu and specifically what proportion of their forces are defending the circled region. Last time it was >3 brigades lol
Looks like Ukies want the at Ike’s to commit even more meat into Bakhmut grinder.
Will the new Vatnik brass comply with that?
Then what happens elsewhere?
Does Belarus jump in and stick its genitals into the sausage maker too?
Do the Ukies push on from Kherson? East or South to mog Crimea?
Frick…if I was Ukie commander, I’d push north from Kharkiv towards Belgorod and zkursk and take actual Russian clay. Pussolini wants to declare Luganda and Donbabwe to be Russian?
Fine, homie…we gonna fight this on Russian soil then!
See how it works out when it’s YOUR cities and towns getting collateral damaged.
>The moment a larger ua group enters Russia propper... le nuked
Best part Is that would be legal kek
If it's strategically useless, why are the Russians wasting so many guys to take it? Are they moronic?
Why is there footage out there of hundreds of Wagner casualties, but no footage of mass Ukrainian casualties?
Frick off, you israelite homosexual.
accuse your enemy of what you are doing. Blackrock is gonna own ukraine lmao and Zelensky is part of the tribe
Putin is part of the tribe too. By blood. So?
This turboBlack person really forgetting Izium, Several Donuts and Kekson.
The strategically impactful gains all happened in the first month or two.
Kherson for example was huge. Crossing the Dnipro and capturing a huge city at the same time, getting a nice bridgehead for future gains towards Odessa (lol). Now, we all know how that went, but I think that if you asked back when it happened, most people would have agreed that it was a pretty big deal.
So it's not that all the gains that the russians do are seen as irrelevant, it's that they've been reduced to mostly irrelevant gains. Lysychansk and Sievierodonetsk have resulted in frick all, for example. I still remember discussing it here before they fell. It was mostly a propaganda victory that wasn't going to lead to anything beyond the russians having another bombed-out administrative building to put a flag on. Many months later, and it's still true. Nothing came out of that axis.
One wonders whether all those donbabweans thrown into sniper fire to force the ukies into revealing their positions were an acceptable price to pay for that victory.
I guess the main question is whether we'll see any successful large-scale offensives from either side, or if they're both so worn down fighting each other that it's just a waiting game to see who falls over first.
Its pretty obvious that both sides have big plans for the spring. Ukrainians asking for and receiving all those IFV's and AFV's wasn't for nothing. Russians stacking all those warm bodies in Belorussia at a time that it needs warm bodies is also not for nothing.
My main concern is whether any of them (on either side) will be successful or if they'll end up being badly-managed or simply bogged down against defenses that they weren't anticipating or were simply impossible to deal with given the equipment on hand. I can see a Belarus thrust failing out of sheer incompetence, while a Ukrainian counteroffensive somewhere in the East might just get bogged down and shift the frontline in an irrelevant way overall.
Ukranians have made big gains every time they have done something. So until proven otherwise I believe whatever they will do will work.
Because if your offensive ends along the Russian border you still have to leave troops there afterwards. If your offensive ends along an ocean, you dont need to leave troops behind. Ukraines problem is that they have to defend their entire frontier with Russia and Belorussia, while Russia can focus its entire army on the frontline in Ukraine.
I also have wild ideas about seizing the Russian munitions depots in Transnistria. Fair play, imo, not Russian territory and supposedly there are vast quantities of munitions and vehicles stored there.
>what can I say, I am a dreamer
>. If your offensive ends along an ocean
While being surrounded on 2 sides by Russians and the Ocean in front. It's stupid and the Russians could just attack the sides/base of the drive and trap them
I think that their will be a lot of movement once the Ukrainians get Kreminna back in their hands. If the Russians lose it then their entire logistics for Lughansk will be fricked
Well thats the big debate innit? Kreminna or Melitopol. Imo something in the south is more useful.
I don't think Melitopol is a good choice for attack at all. I don't know why people think the Ukrainians are going to attack there

Schizophrenic shit from vatBlack folk is getting tiring.
I guess 100B+ is nothing when you can print to infinity
100B+ is nothing when literally all of it is shit that has been sitting in storages for 30 years.
i know 100 billion is a lot to a country with an economy of 1.4 trillion, but "the wests" economy is like 50 trillion
Most of it isn't even money, it's the price value of the old equipment being sent, the only money the US is spending is the money propping up Ukraine's economy and buying old soviet stock at discount prices from other eastern europe nations
>buying old soviet stock at discount prices from other eastern europe nations

I guess its not cutting it anymore so they are sending the new toys.

they've been receiving straight up cash to keep the government alive (paying wages, etc)
>Most of it isn't even money, it's the price value of the old equipment being sent, the only money the US is spending is the money propping up Ukraine's economy and buying old soviet stock at discount prices from other eastern europe nations
its absolutely money, so much money it basically caused the American cost of living to 3x in a single year.
all to LOSE to multiple-felons using soviet trash.
WHY THE FRICK did the US attempt to invade Russia?
why?
That's just factually not true. It's a combined result of kicking the can down the road from the 2008 financial crisis and during early covid giving out 2 trillion in bailout money to the stock market back on March of 2020. Printing that money to bailout the stock market of all things has lead us to the current inflation. Funny how everyone memory holed the stock market bailout and blames Ukraine etc

if youre an adult, that pays bills, this war has deeply ass-raped your bank account.

His mother was israeli, that makes him israeli by blood. Under israeli matrilineal law. The fact his mother had to get him 'secretly baptised' and his old ID documents state his parents were 'Hebrew' proves this.
Don't be moronic.
I find it quite amusing that vatc**ts think that the Ukranian gibs somehow impact western economies. If anything they actually help them.
>the west doesn't have to waste money maintaining stuff that would otherwise stay in storage until they expire or get replaced by something newer
>the money that ukies get is used to buy stuff made in the west, so they actually circulate their economies and create jobs
It's pretty much a modern version of ww2 lend/lease + Marshall plan, you know, the thing that made the US become the largest industrial powerhouse and Japan a first world country even after getting nuked twice.
I don't think so. I think the west (and ukraine) are anticipating the russians will perform a grinding offensive over the spring and fail to make and big breakthroughs, leaving them exhausted and vulnerable to an armored counterattack like in Kharkiv. Ukraine hasn't committed their reserve to bakhmut yet, so they're not actually worried at all. They can afford to slowly cede ground while whittling down russian numbers like they did last spring.
russia will just shell them like they've been doing the whole time -a trench just makes you last a little bit longer
gonna be hard to hold out too long without supplies
Ah yes, the fabled accuracy of russian artillery.
This is the problem, good trench's and skilled fortification building makes things go soooo much slower. It is generally very costly and difficult to capture them- to launch a solid offensive on them is a massive undertaking. It is especially troublesome to do so with fortress cities, it will devolve into a tangled mess of wire and rebar like Stalingrad where you do not know where the enemy is because they could be under some rubble literally anywhere, laying prone in weird angles and positions all over the place from literally anywhere.
There is no good strategy specifically for handling these situations quickly. The best strategy is always to encircle them, starve them out and pound them with artillery, mlrs, uav's, mortars, cannons, whatever the frick. Air strikes are best if you can conduct SEAD or DEAD, but no one can do that in this theater. This is what happens with both sides employ MANPADS + varying levels of SAM's. Very little CAS or air strikes or LGB's or anything. It all happens through low cost high reward UAV's, and so those travel about as fast as a WW1 bi-plane or a turboprop or something and so trench's start to make a lot of fricking sense again.
Without true air and naval superiority, war devolves into Russo-Ukraine. A slugging match meatgrinder nightmare clusterfrick. At first, the defensive lines needed to be developed, but after spending resources like mechanized infantry, MBT's, airborne assaults, in an offensive here, missile strikes here, oh helicopters, fighters and bombers learn to fly on the deck- oh no flying on the deck gets you hit with MANPAD's, no more air combat- or very little used in very precise and cautious ways. After lots of death and wasted vehicles and supplies, both sides learn that it is a futile effort to try to spend manpower and assets on deep warfare or mobile warfare or blitzkriegs or what have you.
It will only happen when one of the sides has enough resources to conduct it.

not 6666 millions orks have died but 150.000+
AND I LOVE THAT NUMBER
damn, all this from a handful of wagner prison units. imagine how badly the dills will get btfo once those half million mobilized and fully trained men arrive at the front.
That handful of prisoners os carrying all of Russia on its back!
They are very happy to get a second chance, and to end their suffering in Russian prisons. Most of them would rather die then go back to their cells anyway, Russian prisons are awful. Watch some documentaries about them, they are arguably inhumane and it would be more humane to just execute them.
An opportunity to die in "glorious" battle and be remembered with "heroes" as a "patriot" to train and work under the most famous and capable Russian PMC. An opportunity to commit war crimes on civilians and soldiers alike. To kill the "number one threat to the homeland". Some of them may see redemption, many will see opportunity to commit heinous acts on an enemy people and its soldiers. Most are just happy to finally die, and not be stuck in the hell that is Russian prison.
They are perfect really, with a good commissar putting a gun to the back of their head- they will likely follow outright insane orders with fervor and zest because they are happy to die- and its even a "good" death culturally speaking. They DO NOT want to go back, ever.
The penal squads were a great idea, honestly. This is their element, this is their purpose. To commit crimes and violence, and their government, instead of keeping them in a small box that they just want to escape sent them directly to who would handle them best and utilize them the best as warm bodies for small gains and released them and essentially said to express themselves the only way they know how- on the Ukrainians.
>once those half million mobilized and fully trained men arrive
>half million mobilized
lol
>and fully trained
lmao
This whole war is a gay waste of life and money, but to me it looks like Ukraine is gearing up for a mechanized offensive either in kharkiv or melitopl. I don't know what good it would do them to throw in behind these blown to shit trenches and villages.
The idea that the Ukrops are going on an offensive is frankly unbelievable. This all hinged on western aid which in turn hinged on perceived ukie advances but the armor isn't coming for months now and over 500k rus are coming to the front. And even then as others have pointed out this is clearly attritional and has nothing to do with territory losses since the chances of a real breakout are so slim
>but the armor isn't coming for months
That's the neat part. It's already there. You can literally watch the USA and UK send their transport aircraft to Poland's 'donation airport' on the border.
You can watch it yourself. A C-17 is due to leave Rzesnow Airport at 20:05 tonight. That's just today. Here is an image from earlier last week.
>extraordinary claims
>a random screenshot of flightradar24
FOAD
multiple cargo planes land in Rzeszów every day, there's a military base set up at the end of the runway with dozens of vehicles lined up one after the other and the balcony of the civilian section is completely closed due to opsec. You sometimes hear jet engines roaring over other cities when it's cloudy, but there are never any civilian planes around
t. Knower
What were you saying before they retook Kherson? This whole thing is gay and moronic but Russia has shown total incompetence. They called their own bluff.
Go frick yourself, pidor
>If not there then where?
Slovyansk and Kramatorsk are more important than Bakhmut. Strengthen defensive lines there while slowing down Russian offensive during retreat. Urban warfare is not AFU strongest quality, losses are close to 1:1 when you fight for every building like they did in Soledar or in Severodonetsk before that.
>Slovyansk and Kramatorsk are more important than Bakhmut
But the Russians aren't attacking there, they're pushing Bakhmut and Soledar. So if they're offering battle for the sake of a less valuable victory it's stupid to decline that
>Slovyansk and Kramatorsk are more important than Bakhmut.
why would you willing let russians advance towards those important cities when you can just meatgrinder them at an irrelevant objective like Bakhmut where russia gains nothing even if they take it?
vatBlack person logic always finds a new way to be even more moronic
they are idiots. sorry to say. they should retreat and start the next day.
russia will incircle them in 2 days from now and move on.
they can starve in their trenches
why are they defending a literal nowhere?
because its in front of important ground.
Why not? Let the Russians bleed themselves dry. Make them sacrifice thousands for every inch of territory they seize. When their forces are exhausted, seize the initiative and counter-attack.
yeah bro! they should just retreat without any resistance until what they are defending is absolutely vital and they have zero strategical depth left!
so fricking epic dude why arent you in charge of nato?
As we can see from fresh reports coming in from the front, the Russians are aiming to break out of their encirclement in the master bedroom whilst a relief force try and make their way through the front door. After this, the next logical step would be to capture the bathroom and cut off the enemy's water supply which should be achieved in about two weeks time as long the smell of rotting convicts doesn't route both forces from the house.
for how many months am i supposed to be hyped for the supposedly imminent capture of a small town? what has it been now -- eight months?
When you're next to Russia.
You need to Have underground metros. Like Japan or UK. That way you can make city a fortress and have supplies running into city. So encirclement forces cannot cut you off.
Irony is that North Korea is built to take on invasion from Russia
Source, Black person.
Can't. They'll get nuked. Ukraine is under the US's nuclear umbrella as long as they fight defensively. No more than sporadic long range fires on Russian territory.
Any more than that and the US won't retaliate Russia nukes Ukraine.
>trenches are still effective in 2023
Why can't we counter it in 2023?
What were the inventions of tanks, grenades and shot guns even for?
Because trenches are always a better alternative to having no cover at all.
napalm and gas
they're accoutrement for the trenches, unironically, and by the time we *can* counter a trench, tunnels will be the de facto solution
During this offensive, casualties to Russian forces is said to have been light and most Russian troops are reported to have made it back to their headquarters
That's right. Lightly mauled Russian troops disengaged on their own power, rotated from the front and just regrouped in hell no biggie.
morons repost shit like this thinking it makes Ukraine and the West look bad when being tolerant of LGBT people is a sign of prosperity, sophistication, and flourishing human freedom--all things the Russian mind cannot comprehend
2bh that is a very nice plane, I would like to fly around in it

What good will this do when the Russians are just going to encircle it?
lol I wonder how many fiber cuts they are causing. Imagine the outage updates from the internet service provider. "DPR Officials are waiting on bodies to be cleared before splicing can begin. ETTR Pending"
Re: Fiber cuts, I bet it would be interesting to see state of polarization (SOP) stats from any long haul routes going through Donbass. I bet you could correlate artillery hitting the ground. Trains and lightning trigger SOP changes. There is a developing field to use these stats to monitor seismic activity even. Might be a cool research paper to show amount of Ukrainian shelling from 2014-2022
I-it's a f-feint. R-right?
when you realize the culmination of the first 300,000 men mobilization was to try and be seriously reduced by a Day 1 objective - Bakhmut
The entire mobilization was to take this small city of 40,000. 300,000 men to take Bakhmut, let that sink in.
based, kopers on suicide watch and preparing for the eternal butthurt.
It's crazy how every time a former Soviet satellite state chooses the west over cozying back up to Russia it's because of western false flag psyop CIA mind control. The idea that Russia is just so fricking shitty that ex combloc shitholes would rather gamble with western liberalism just doesn't occur to them.
but /k/ told me ukraine was winning.
