Why doesn't Russia try bigger assaults

The Tonenke attack from yesterday was supposed to have been "huge" but only used like 36 tanks and 12 BMPs. The Avdiivka assaults used a pretty serious number of vehicles but it was always less than 20 a day per assault over the course of weeks. Meanwhile we had shit like the Battle of Chawinda where India used 260 Centurion MBTs in a single push.

Why doesn't Russia take like 400 Tanks, 600 BMPs and whatever else for a single, extremely concentrated push?
>They don't have enough vehicles
They've lost way more than that in 2023 alone. What's the point of slowly bleeding them out like this? Why didn't they use them for a singular, gigantic charge instead?

      Logistics are easier when your troops don't live long enough to need food, and your armor doesn't;t last long enough to need reloaded.

    Because they can't. They don't have the logistics, the support, or the coordination to do a proper combined arms assault like western countries.
    So they send these units into moronic suicide frontal assaults out of WW1 to keep the pressure and pretend they're doing something, because they can't do anything else.
    The only think they've achieved is making Ukraine unable to focus their forces into a south attack to the Azov's sea.
    Technically it's a phyrric stalemate, hence all the shilling trying to stop the West aid. Because if the West ramps up their deliveries, Russia would have no answer to that.

      Now is half tank regiment plus all the morons they can corral around and makes to the news as the biggest assault since the Kiev push... This is the best they can do now, after a year and half of "ramping up weapons industry and being on a war economy".

              Russians wouldn't have an opportunity to do a whole lot of killing without setting up their gypsy camp anchored to a town or some other hardpoint, and any coalition force that could be expected to deploy to Ukraine wouldn't have much of an issue with leveling said camp because NATO armies strike deeper than Ukraine's artillery army.

        There are generals in the Russian army that were active during those days. And they are watching this.

        You understand the actual plan was to do that while nuking everything in sight in support of that and if it the attack is stopped just nuke everything. The whole USSR plan for a large war involved basically using nukes like they're conventional weapons, the RU never really saw it as a WMD it was just another conventional weapon. They still "officially" see it that way.

            The entire concept of tactical nukes was to cause minimal damage to infrastructure. Both sides went hard on the idea of throwing nukes at isolated formations through the 50s and 60s. The US made some crazy cool shit like nuclear A-A missiles, backpack nukes, nuclear artillery, and even nuclear landmines. The mid-20th century game plan was to drop the sun on any troop concentration larger than a fireteam.

            no
            as revealed by ex-Warpact generals at a NATO conference, the Soviet general plan was to tac nuke NATO on the assumption that NATO would not escalate beyond a battlefield exchange, so to speak
            both sides were shocked to find that NATO had concluded that any exchange would culminate in a strategic exchange, so they would have replied to Soviet tac nukes with strategic targeting, and then we would all have died

            >nuclear A-A missiles
            the reason for them and for nuclear depth charges is that they were the only weapons guaranteed to destroy bombers and submarines at low levels of accuracy
            same reasoning behind Russian nuclear anti-carrier missiles

            that is why NATO leaned hard into precision guided munitions; solving the accuracy problem allowed them to achieve similar effects purely conventionally

              The depth charges, yes. The value and limited quantity of subs made a nuclear depth charge worth the investment, but the Genie Rocket was also built to destroy bomber formations quickly with minimal aircraft. Taking out 6 bombers at once with one munition was an extremely important capability when you have 200 with fighter escorts coming to carpet-nuke your country.

                Again, as a function of accuracy. Nuclear air-to-air missiles stopped being necessary when conventionally guided missiles became more reliably accurate.

        It's easy, they imagine all the money they can embezzle off the casualties' payment and pensions and the stolen and diverted parts from the replacement vehicles they'll send because of all that destruction.

    Mobiks are expensive as frick, they cost mobilization system and logistics bandwidth (extremely limited, finite in terms of entire war from start to finish). Those tanks and other AFVs, while shit, are even more expensive - they require more attention from logistics, production can account for less than a month of medium-intensity fighting, and the stockpiles are so limited russian brigades/regiments have been getting demechanized since late 2022.

    Nothing's free for the russian, this is them fighting at maximum capacity, in a do-or-die situation, and failing to make a difference in the grand scheme of things as their time is running out.

    Funnily enough, their artillery tapped our first and now it can't act as an enabler for the ground forces unless the air force is heavily engaged. I wouldn't expect VKS to display more resilience than their artillery force, so that'll probably end this year too and all those mobiks will be left with 0 (zero) enablers.

              - And we have... we have... in our army a soldier receives whooping 2,300 kilocalories a day! What will you say to that?
              - In fact, the standard diet of a NATO soldier guarantees 4,700 kilocalories per day;

                2,300 kcal is the recommended diet for someone who's a healthy weight around 5'5 or so doing regular tasks. It's not enough for a soldier, at all, but it's not starvation tier either. A fricking carrot and potato for a meal does not even come close to 2,300 kcal, even if you're eating such a meal several times a day. You'd know this if you weren't clinically obese.

    The equipment is shit and it gets worse exponentially. We already saw 1:13 loss ratio at Avdiivka, so we are close to the point when taking another village would require a half of the army. Considering F-16 are guaranteed, this ratio will also apply to defensive operations. Losing Bakhmut AND 200 000 soldiers to Ukraine this year becomes a real outcome.

        The APC/IFV situation is different to artillery and MBT losses which Russia has managed to eat into resreves to keep going. They don;t seem to be able to for APCs, they had appro 13700 in service pre war about 13300 have been destroyed but they are down to unarmoured artillery tractors and now Chinese atvs when they should on paper have a 19000 strong APC reserve. The Russia military is on its last legs and so is their economy.

      This goes back to something that's been discussed a lot about equipment, namely, that it never "runs out", but it can reach levels of "running out" that are so dire that the equipment barely does anything.
      We're seeing the cracks. Giving mobiks electric Chinkmobiles for them to try to storm the front with, instead of having them driven in via APC is one sign. Obviously there's the T-55 obr. 2024 thing as well.
      Tank refurb can't keep up with these losses, so we're going to see more and more sparsity of tanks at the front until there's just select groups of them, and ones held in reserve to try to counter attack any pushes.

          They needed to send the supply train forward to supply their forward units. Their forward units were supposed to go a lot further into the country so they were on a timetable to set off. The problem was the forward units didn't get as far as planned but the supply units had their orders and started to follow up, leading to a massive pile up that started getting hit by Ukrianian forces.

        Because post-Soviet times there was hope Muscovites could grow up and join the modern world where open cooperative trade was most beneficial to all parties involved, rather than military posturing.
        Unfortunately for human civilization, Muscovites are eastern subhumans who cannot conceive of equal cooperative relationships between parties, but only machismo posturing and alpha/beta moron dynamics.
        2008 Georgia should've been a wake up call this ideal outcome would never happen but Georgia was too irrelevant to matter, 2014 Crimea was a big sign but enough mitigating factors to give Muscovites the benefit of the doubt; but the current "SMO" and it's atrocious handling shows the true colors of Muscovy.

        2,300 kcal is the recommended diet for someone who's a healthy weight around 5'5 or so doing regular tasks. It's not enough for a soldier, at all, but it's not starvation tier either. A fricking carrot and potato for a meal does not even come close to 2,300 kcal, even if you're eating such a meal several times a day. You'd know this if you weren't clinically obese.

      Wasn't one the reason mechs were used in Mobile Suit Gundam by the Zeons was because they just trumped most things the Federation threw at them so they had to develop their own?
      I always hear people against mechs/power armor say "just shoot a missile at it from a distance" or "just hit it with anti-armor". But wouldn't a mech/power armor have systems built-in to deal with those counters from the start?

        You cannot armor a mech as well as you can a tank, nor can you fit as much active protection. Anything you can do to a mech that'll make it viable against weapons just apply better to a system that's more compact, has lower ground pressure, and doesn't have a bunch of exposed joints

            Mobility is useful
            Mechs don't have higher mobility than tanks, except in very specific situations
            If we're talking about things that fly then obviously jets are the thing that's better than mechs, why waste weight and screw up aerodynamics with things like arms and legs when you could be using it for more speed or more payload?

            >Exposed joints
            You mean tracks?

            Tracks are indeed a weak point of tanks. Now imagine them being further up off the ground, impossible to repair in place, and resulting in more than just a mobility kill (good luck shooting when you only have one leg to stand on)

        those people are imagining tanks on legs, when they should be imagining BATTLESHIPS on legs. (not to mention being unable to give IC/OOC answers.) Gundams in-universe are the most powerful, well-protected and agile things in existence, not to mention literally psychic-powered in most universes (or as good as). They're equipped with battleship-grade weapons, and can evade most attacks.
        even analogously, Gundams are like WW2 carrier aviation. saying "just shoot them with an antitank gun lmao" is moronic.

        As SF goes, it was more than that.

        1) AMBAC, turning around without using fuel, limbed lever being better than inertial wheel.
        2) they used micronuclear reactor and MS was the smallest they had
        3) that reactor spew magical particle that frick up unshielded electronic in a convenient way

        You cannot armor a mech as well as you can a tank, nor can you fit as much active protection. Anything you can do to a mech that'll make it viable against weapons just apply better to a system that's more compact, has lower ground pressure, and doesn't have a bunch of exposed joints

        >has lower ground pressure,
        Is a moronic arguments you repeat like a sheep.
        Track were not created to lower ground pressure, they were created to grab/get grip on terrain regardless of shapes.
        You WANT ground pressure, without it you slip around in mud, you want to reach the solid ground underneath the mud.

        A wheel cannot get over an obstacle bigger than its radius.
        A track allow it as long as the track itself is conveyed above by cheaper wheels.
        A mech would have such clearance it would make it effortless.

        >bunch of exposed joints
        Only valid in a maintenance or cost-efficiency way.

        I'd rather have a spider-tank lose one leg and keep going, than be mobility killed by losing a track.
        There's methods to armor main joints and targeting them on purpose would require a LOT of effort. Sure, go ahead and create a ATGM that dive to slip under a spider-tank skirt. Go create a mine that keep the same explosive force despite it's target body being >2m above the ground.
        The legs can be used/support for spaced armor that prevent the penetrating rod from killing everyone inside.

        If the next argument is "muh height make bigger target" I'll point out that with modern sensors height is irrelevant and that having legs would make "hulldown" maneuver potentially easier.

        Remain the question of speed, now that's a problem, only solved if you fight by killing enemies so fast speed is no longer important but then the main weapon would likely be indirect artillery with homing shells.

    I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Putin is a fricking moron. Had he spent his money pushing Psy Ops and making Crimea and the other pro Russian territories more successful places to live by comparison to their Ukrainian neighbors, bribing politicians, and demoralizing the Ukies he could have peaceably taken the country province by province over a couple decades by forcing resolutions and backing his shills with the threat of his military. But instead he got bored and decided to show how tough Russia is. Now he is crippling their military and economy, destroyed his international diplomacy, and has doomed his mission to failure. He could have won by just handing out gibs and bribes. Instead he chose bullets and is now getting embarrassed.

      Russian military seems to have already been crippled, as in past tense crippled. It's an artillery army with an artillery component that's incapable of supporting a push on a small industrial suburb without copious airforce assistance. And it's not like their airforce can keep providing that assistance forever, and even then it's completely dysfunctional and requires a siege-style setpiece to kind-of, sort-of maybe work over the course of about 6 months.

      It's pretty amazing to watch such a large military crumble over the course of 2 years, and that's with full backing of their state too. I have a feeling their way of war will die with their armed forces because of the sheer scale of this fricking disaster. The amount of materiel russian army burned through while failing to achieve any objectives is just mind-boggling.

          Not really, in Korea UN forces (and specifically US forces) provided most of the combat power, in Ukraine all combat power is provided by the AFU. Once russian airforce deteriorates to the point even a repeat of Avdiivka will be impossible there's nothing to stop Ukrainians from waging this war forever, likely at a slightly lower intensity. This means continued strikes against russian infrastructure and continued attrition inflicted via drones and long-range fires.

          Arguably, Western Europe (not the USA, because the USA doesn't provide that much financial backing) could force Ukrainians to stand down, but that'd only create an unresolved border dispute that'd eventually be addressed by the AFU, likely as soon as their country gets its finances in order. Basically a repeat of Israel-Egypt conflicts. Note that by the time a ceasefore becomes a realistic option, the cost of supporting Ukraine should be considerably more manageable (lower intensity, no more large-scale russian offensive operations). So, in theory, the conflict could be fueled by a smaller number of countries. I'd argue that even now France, Eastern/Central Europe and Scandinavia have enough clout and determination to facilitate a total Ukrainian victory.

          From a russian perspective, the situation is thoroughly fricked and can't be unfricked without nukes. And since both China and the US will likely take action against russia if they use nukes, this war is basically over, although it hasn't played out completely yet.

      I like to think they have that single tank from last year locked up in some shed with a sticky note saying "Do NOT touch, for parades only"

        I'm speculating they're specifically not sending them to the front such that they'll parade them in may along with captured 40+year old wonder waffles for chest thumping points, THEN they'll push them to the front.

    So a combined-arms battalion. Wow it's nothing. Russia is in the awkward spot where they can't do traditional combined arms, can't do futuristic deep-penetrating+persistent drone swarms, and are forced to rely on (very small military speaking) waves.
    No wonder a small and poorly armed nation like Ukraine is stalemating them.

      They have more men in the field than Russia do and they're backed to the hilt by the entirety of NATO.

        How many NATO troops in Ukraine right now? Becuase, you know, backed to the hilt would mean NATO sending in those.

    Am I moronic seriously? Why don't they shoot the fricking drones. You'd only need a WW2 tier ack-ack to knock them down.

      Russia seemingly either never built many and/or had already scrapped most of its Tunguskas and ZSU-23-4 Shilkas.
      And the Pantsir S-1 is supposed to combine the SPAAGs & S-10 Strelas/Osa into an uber-omni SHORAD panacea, but I guess there just aren't enough and Russia's FCS software simply isn't good enough.

    The bigger your force the bigger the overhead. Having several battalions do a simultaneous and coordinated assault effectively means you need top tier logistics communication and training. So not something the Russians are able to do.

    Many reasons

    >Any large losses would result in political problems
    >Much of the hardware lost would be lost for good due to Russia's poor industry
    >Lack of air support would make a large offensive very difficult

    They lost the ability to command units larger than a battalion, training and coordination is just not there especially with the current attrition rate. Between 2022 and 2023 they tried to switch from battalion tactical groups to fighting with regiments but it didn't improve anything

      They took Avdiivka with a multi-divisional attack you fool.

        Maybe on paper, in reality it was meat wave after meat wave of snow Black folk getting sent to hide in the farthest cleared rubble and basements before another multi-ton guided bomb was dropped on Ukie defenses that then became the next hidey hole for aforementioned meat wave survivors and their future "reinforcements".

          well, it's still a multi-divisional meatwave...

          jokes aside, it was probably a more competent attack than most since they used a few elite formations as well (most of the Central Military District iirc) not just mobiks

            Dude, it was anemic as frick, it took them like 2 or 3 days to push through about 800 meters of Eastern European suburban houses and by all accounts they only succeeded because of fog and shell hunger on the Ukie side.

            The whole assault kinda failed forward until Ukies retreated - the only difference between what happened there and the catastrophic pushes directed towards Stepove was that in Avdiivka Ukrainians didn't have the resources to isolate and clear out the "assault" elements, so these russian degenerates managed to continue securing terrain at a glacial pace until Ukies decided it was time to frick off.

    so instead of a density of 100 mobiks per square mile, it's now 20 mobiks per square mile?

    Logistics and command structure. Something that Puccia is known to suck absolute donkey dick at. They can barely muster up 20 vehicles to drive forwards without running over each other and falling into holes/off of bridges. How do you expect them to do mare than what they already did?

      ...anon? something you want to tell us?

      Yeah you have to slam a company+ into an objective and then move THROUGH it with another undamaged company before you can even think of actually pursuing, defeating, encircling anybody. These fricked up attacks where you see 10+ tanks get killed instantly are a huge deal because those 10 tanks or whatever were the initial force that were supposed to get a decent way to, or through, the objective. If they get killed instantly the entire plan gets thrown off.

      I think that's why we see later vehicles seemingly suicide themselves into mines or whatever. Their C2 is so bad they can't tell that all of their first echelon just got annihilated so the rest just go as if they had made it through.

        >Their C2 is so bad
        Anon, they just lie. That's all there is to it.

        >What's that, boss? Oh, t-the assault I j-just ordered? Heh, of course it managed to capture the position it was supposed to, do you think I'm incompetent or something? Yes, sure, send in the next one based on that assumption.

        And this problem only magnifies itself the further up the chain it goes because each moron keeps adding on to the lie himself. Funnily enough, this isn't the (total) deathblow to successful planning that you'd think it'd be since officers know about this trend and thus correct for it ... to some extent. And of course still lie themselves.

        It's also partly why the initial invasion failed so fricking badly.

        >What's that, Mr. Putin, sir? Are we ready to invade Ukraine? Sure are! How long would it take us? Ah, no more than two weeks, my subordinates assure me. We have it all planned out in fact.

    Fairly convinced by this point that the mandate is to keep troops moving west to give the impression that there's still momentum. Alternatively they genuinely operate on a 1000 monkeys 1000 typewriters model which would be lovecraftian.
