    >You see, Ukrainians have a preset kill limit. Knowing their weakness, I sent wave after wave of my own men at them, until they reached their limit and shutdown.

      Kill limit resets every time an apartment building is bombed, though.

      What they don't know that kill limit is 1 billion vatniks per individual soldier.

    It's entirely possible that the people making the decision haven't been told about what happened previously.

      Probably this, I doubt that the guys on the ground have the capacity to say "this is a really stupid idea and we should try something else" without getting into serious shit.

        Would that serious shit be worse than certain death?

          Certain death to your men, not for you. Kremlin says attack, you attack, period. You dont want a court-martial and soldiers/mobiks are expendables/nobody cares.

        Commanders do not have reason to care, they have a mission and fresh recruits to throw

        When your military force is run through central planning by the Ministry of Defense with most officers not having actual authority information has to travel from the field all the way to the actual executive government then a decision needs to be made there and then it has to go all the way back down before the order is actually executed.

      Do their own recon units just not tell the commander about all the burned out tanks with Zs on them near the enemy position?

      I'm asking this but I guess I know the answer from all the videos of a BMP driving past a BMP that hit a mine and itself predictably hitting a mine

        As an autocratic society, admissions of failure to carry out your superiors orders are an admission of weakness on the eyes of these superiors. It's never the authority who's at fault of giving irrational or imporrible orders, but the subordinates for being unable to carry them out. So you always get heavily embellished reports from your subordinates because they don't want to be replaced for another guy who'd do just as good as them.

        This situations goes from the individual mobiks and their lieutenants to the Tsar himself and his boyars. It's never that The Tsar have his boyars an impossible command to capture Ukraine in 3 days. It's that his boyars are incompetent/corrupt/treasonous.

        They are too dumb to realise arty shells re-mining an area exists. They look at the burned out hulls of the previous wave and think that theres probably no more mines left only to die to a new mine laid in the same spot a few hours earlier.

    >Semyon the Russian Major gets asked by High Command how many troops oppose him at City X and how many troops he has available.
    >Semyon the Major asks Yury the Captain who says "One company of Territorials oppose us. They must be down to two or three platoons. We have almost a full Battalion available, two companies are understrength and we have a few damaged vehicles"
    Of course, this is all bullshit, Yury just wants to get promoted. In actuality, the enemy has sustained almost zero losses and has been reinforced with an additional company on the flanks (Yury doesn't know this). The Russians aren't just "down" two understrength companies out of 4, but are actually down to one 1 functional company and 3 heavily damaged ones.
    >Semyon the Major reports to High Command that he has a battalion available and a single (heavily damaged) company in City X. (He also lies a little)
    >High Command checks their tables which says a full Battalion should be more than sufficient to attack a single company in City X
    (Russia actually has these tables and relies on them heavily to make decisions)
    >Semyon the Major orders the attack, but instead of four companies against one Ukrainian, it is actually closer to 3 versus 2 and the Russians take bad losses.
    >Semyon doesn't want to report a complete failure so he blames Yury (he died) but says they inflicted heavy damage.
    Now imagine doing this over and over in a vicious cycle where you over report success and underreport your losses. Command keeps ordering attacks that have no hope of success and thinks they're making progress. Now imagine it happening all along the Russian lines. No wonder it keeps happening.

      >Colonel, the battle is proceeding in our favor, but we could do even better with just a little artillery

    It's funny seeing him post shit like that after years of claiming Russia would defeat NATO in 3 days and the F-35 wasn't even capable of competing with slavshit.

      It's certainly a whiplash to see him get invited to do podcasts/youtube videos on the Russo-Ukraine war when I know for a fact he was the moron who in 2015 got hold of the F-35 AA-1 report and started the "LOST DOGFIGHT TO F-16" narrative but conveniently left out the fact that in the last page of the report the test pilot wrote "yeah fix the control laws of the software and the F-35 will be more energy efficient".

    Generational fetal alcohol syndrome + deeply ingrained corruption and nepotism which guarantees that incompetent but regime-loyal people are in put in positions of power.

    Russian Chain if command has always been extremely rigid and inflexible exactly because of how little autonomy lower echelons of the chain of command have compared to their superiors, and these superiors can't get the necessary information to make accurate decisions precisely because lying to your superiors to get better standing or to avoid punishments for being unable to reach your superiors unrealistic expectations of yourself is so normalized in Russia.

    Remember back at the beginning of the war we had so many Russian generals killed on the front lines? Those were Russian superiors trying to get accurate information by overriding the chain of command and getting BTFO by Ukrainian artillery strikes
