  1. I've suspected that the groups in Wagner were highly adaptive in combat. With every engagement they seemed to quickly adapt and refine the combat tactician deployment. Far from the west's assertion they are mere conscript former inmates. Also confirmed strong ties to paratrooper and special forces of the Russian military.

  2. ​@adaptiveaussie2216 Think about this very carefully. The further in they go. They will be further from supply and safety. As it stands the Russians keep withdrawing come up here come further just a little bit more. Now the Ukirainians think they are winning. Mean while the east and south of Ukiraine is seeing collapsing lines. They don't have the personnel and the fuel to sustain this attack without destroying their ability to defend the east and south. If the Russians invade Odessa. Ouch?

  3. Possibly 9000 casualties. Still hurt but not as devastating as they want people to think.

  4. ​ @iche9373  500 tanks a year is what they report. The actual number is kept quiet for obvious reasons. The Russians capability has not even begun to be dulled. You are assuming that the propaganda by the west is accurate. The Russians have been slow in their war for a reason. Mainly to get Ukiraine to exhaust its military on pointless attempts at retaking Crimea and Donbas. Stretching out their lines of supply and attrition ogf Ukiraines infantry. Obviously the tactics have worked. Ukiraine is now facing air sortes, fpv drones, lancet drones, and tanks. Also the air fields they had intended for the F16s have been destroyed. Ukiraine is running out of troops and time. Wishful thinking is just that wishful.

  5.  nathanielzoladkowski8175  no one is sipping. Telling facts it is madness and stupidity. The Ukirainians desperate for a solid victory are gutting their defenses to go into a region that will be a nightmare to hold as more time passes. While the restoration their country gets ground down because there are no more defenses left from the capitalizing of their defense lines. If Russia attacks and takes Odessa because all their reserves are in Kursk. It's GG well played. SMH Don't forget fall is coming with its rain and then winter.

  6. ​@Prometheus7272 If they had done a incursion two years ago Ukiraine could have done something with Kursk. Now this is just going to be a very nasty failure long term.

  7. @ZacharyDarkes  Chiraq? Well who doesn't want to live in a gun free zone that has more gun related deaths than the national average?

  8. I propose the Russians didn't intend to push Ukirainians out but lock them in. As we all know if enemy forces make a mistake don't interrupt. Look at the east and southern front.

  9. That is accurate using heavy equpment while under heavy fire is not really feasible. Also considering there is no apparent airsupport for troops or vehiichles on the ground also Russians tend to remotely arm minefields. Why? Obviously to make the way seem clear so enemy units proceed into the heart of the field and then find themselves stuck in position. Even with infantry units using oldschool probes and even bayonet probes it can take a long time to find the mines. Which leaves personnel extremely exposed and vulnerable to both artillery and sniper attack.

  10. Hezbollah took credit for the attacks. Israel took the territory through force of arms in 67 and took more in 81. The area at this point effectively belongs to Israel until one of two things occurs. 1. The area is annexed by another country that invades and seizes control of the area by force. 2. There is a negotiated treaty that sees control of the area is annexed by one of the signatures. Now in the first scenario if Hezballa invades and takes the heights. Then. The area would effectively be in the hands of the Lebanese not the Syruans. As if the Hezballa would then turn the area over to Syria. Lol not likely.

  11. Well the EU sent these patriotic keyboard warriors to confront the orcs they hate so badly. It is a stunning and brave move. These conscripts er I mean completely of their freewill recruits are raring to go.

  12. @iche9373  That is cope. Again what part of one of the major weapons and munitions manufacturers in the world don't you grasp. Also China is openly supporting their ally Russia another massive weapons and munitions developer. Ukiraine has no real strategy at this point . They have reserves pinned down by attacks in the north. Chasiviar Their defenses are slowly being bombed and shelled into fine powder. Crimea has forces going steadily northward. It's over the question becomes do they fight to the last man or sue for peace?

  13. Those commercial grade drones would still need to be carried close enough to their intended targets to make use of their effective range. Which most commercial grade is probablyv250 meters. Not certain what the range would be with a payload.

  15. @failburgerz  This battle is a meat grinder for the Ukranian forces. Close to 400k casualties. The Russians have intentionally Semi encircled Bahkmut, leaving a way in for resupply reinforcement. Hammering the soldiers holding the positions. If Ukraine had bombers and fighter craft, they could seek out and destroy the artillery, but without air support that can't happen. Russia hasn't even used a tenth of their military in this war but using precision artillery barrage they just keep grinding the Ukrainian forces down. Frankly just north is Belarus with a combined force of Russian and Belarus armies numbering 500k. Yes there are new tanks and weapons but they are weapons from the west. It takes time to learn new equipment. When soldiers are already trained on T series tanks, migs, and other eastern block equipment. Muscle memory is key in battle. Further this isn't about picking sides. I have no dog in this fight. What I am seeing is very bad tactics on display. It is a mistake to get bogged down like this withdraw force the Russians to come out into the open. As it stands the Russians get to bottle neck the Ukrainians and serve them shrapnel for breakfast and white phosphorus for dinner. Not ideal.

  16. There is option C. TOS 1a their fortress. At that point it would be a mop up.

  18. @winfriedbij684  Yes and how will you defend your position and fly said drones.

  19. The Chinese won't do any of the 4 d chess crap these idiots envision. They will go straight for Taiwan. Knowing that an attack on their forces must be justified to the American people. The one thing no one on that panel would expect is an attack to the jugular.

  20. Lotus made a slip of the tongue. " They will be brought into the grinder." The Russians want this counterattack. If they attack with those groups, and it fails. The forces will be slaughtered. Considering that the Ukranians have little in the way of airpower. What we will see is a combined cauldron of airstrikes, artillery, and infantry. The attrition could be potentially catastrophic for Ukraine.

  21. I suspect that the satellite that made land fall just outside wasn't fact a geosynchronous orbit GPS targeting system satellite. Another reason Russia is bolder now in their air campaign.

  24. ​ @WinterXR7 The Russians military has 1.2 million men which I'd substantial growth. They have been doing a build up. One could say they slow played this to make sure they had enough forces to finish. The Northern attack from Ukiraine is basically a death rattle of Ukiraine. The reason the Russians can advance so quickly is they have hollowed out the units maintaining the line of contact for their forlorn hope in the North. Proof that AZOV is ran by corrupt incompetence. Now the citizens are rioting and sabotaging AZOV war efforts.

  25. Bakhmut was extremely important. Any hope of regaining the Donbas is even further from Ukiraines grasp. Whether Russian forces press forward or consolidate their gains Russia is in a better position. The losses of both sides was Horrific. The problem for Ukiraine is they lost many of their most seasoned fighters. That will mean their ability will be missed going forward.

  26. @wingedhussar1453  Yes it does change it drastically. The withdrawal was too late. Think carefully here. The mindset of the Ukiraine high command is this would be a traditional defense and hold action. They would have the advantage of a fortified position which would cause a 1 to 3 casualty rate. They would have one casualty for three Russians. That would be true if the Russians attacked during day time and didn't have massive combined arms advantage. Not to mention the Russians expanded their territory to the northern and southern flanks bottle nicking supply and troop rotation for the defenders. The true picture though is if they had withdrew from Bakhmut in January redeployed they could have did a counter offensive that could have hit both northern and southern flanks dislodging the Russian forces inflicting massive losses and keeping the Russian air power at bay using inclement weather as a screen. Once the threats North and South had been neutralized then reoccupy Bakhmut. Instead 85k defenders trapped for 3 months with little to no rotation. How many of that force remain? 🤔 As it stands many of their most elite and seasoned troops have been ground down. What remains is a shell.

  29. @johnjingleheimersmith9259  Are you for real? Using the 3 to 1 ratio. You have the nerve to question another person's critical thinking skills. I get it you're all down for Ukraine but reality is reality. Look at the actual evidence. The Russians don't have to push forward at all. They have a perfect KZ bottle necked troops constantly being shelled. Using convicts to attack occasionally to feint to keep Ukrain sending more. Brilliant really as who will miss the criminal when they are KIA? Ukraine by contrast are losing far too many. Keep believing the media.

  30. Training in basics is a must. Having your skills drilled into you till it is the same as if you were born doing it. Yet the quality of training is in question. Is it based on actual combat situations that have been encountered? Is it based on possible situations that can be imagined to happen?

  32. Full proof racism is bullshit. If you hate anyone for their skin color, it is tantamount to hating yourself. You would have a lot in common with Hitler. He hated jews being of jewish heritage himself. Then again let the hatred of people go and listen to their actions. Do they work hard, honest, and respect others and if not? That is how you decide if they are good or not the actions they take and not the words they spout. If you ask me am I a good man? My answer will be time will tell and listen to my actions.

  38. They don't care about Taiwan. They do care about China controlling 75 percent of the processor chip manufacturing on the planet. That kind of control means that cellphone to weapon systems will be at their mercy. A weakened industrial infrastructure made even weaker.

  39. Western journalists claim Russian forces are bogged down, but this is classic Russian tactics. Just like in Chechnya, they just barrage the hell out of defensive positions, then slow creep into the openings created by artillery and just keep air superiority while maintaining pressure on infantry. The envelopement is smart because troops in bahmut are fighting to hold but can't intercept the forces that are by passing their defensive lines. Destruction of the bridges was monumentally stupid. How the he'll will those Leopards be able to and engage? They will have the same problems maybe worse than the Russian forces have. They would be extremely vulnerable crossing and subject to air sorte and artillery. The Ukraine high command is seriously a group of cluster fucks. Either they prematurely detonated the bridges by error in judgement or they know that area is a complete loss. 10k head dead by a command that sees them as Canon fodder.

  41. @Cordeliuss  Yea that sounds about right. When I said 9k in casualty I was thinking about that amount KIA and the rest being injuries of varying severity. That is still pretty rough but manageable. The main problem for the defenders is the ratio of fire power. Russia can produce more ordinance at lower cost than most of the west. Mainly because the government controls the military industry. Where the west depends on military contractor companies and must deal with private companies and the ever increasing costs of weapons development and manufacturing costs. Let's face it there is a lot of graft and waste happening in the west. The west assumed cost for their opponents would be as much as what their military expenditures would be. Not realizing that in fact it would not be as big a factor because in essence the government military in'dusty in Russia is owned by the government itself.

  42. People talking about ambushes being cowardly. No ambushes are not cowardly. They are valid strategy to defeat any armed force. The column was armed and in vehicles. They made a tacticle error they got relaxed. They didnt stay vigilant and it cost them. So people calling ambushes or sbeak attacks c I wardly are just coping. Learn from this point defence while on the move is just as important in mechanized infantry units as it would be on regular infantry.

  44. Could China be playing monkey in the middle? Supporting both the junta and the rebels as a way of weakening both sides. Making it easier to annex them later. Possibly to pressure India? Eh just speculation but seeing how China wants to improve their situation in Asia as a whole. The main prize being the eventual annexation of Taiwan later.

  45. ​@31mAyMgaTanga You still believe the western propaganda? Soldiers in the modern Era are trained when captured to give misinformation. In otherwords tell lies your captors want to hear. Such lies would include that soldiers morale is low, and suffer little to no support and are treated poorly. This gives the capturing force and intelligence units interrogating them the idea that the enemy is close to collapse. Also the side benefit is the captors may even think the captive is just a poor conscript who is a mere victim of the forces who employed him meaning they begin to be lenient and lax. Also seeming cooperative may reduce torture and enhanced interrogation techniques. Why is this encouraged? Simply put it can give the enemy a false sense if the situation and trigger the enemy to attack extremely well manned and armed hard points previously thought to be lightly defended and easily attainable. When I was a soldier if I had a captive foreign fighter I wouldn't trust much a pow has to say about anything. More than likely they will tell me anything just to avoid enhanced interrogation and psyop me into a blunder.

  46. @jamesgrimm9121  Correct they did scorched earth. Destroying anything usable by the enemy and harass and bleed them constantly. For Russians on their home turf it's standard.

  47. Sure we will lose face fine by most of us here in the US. We shouldn't be poking our noses in Ukiraine or anywhere else. This is a neocon biden dilemma. If Trump even dares go back on his word and doubles down in Ukiraine. We will make him pay for it in the midterms. We are tired of this interventions bs. It doesn't work for our reputation and it only hurts us as a nation. Laws should be in place that for is us from doing this garbage in the future.

  48. ​ @prapor6390  Is it accurate to say that the usual tactical doctrine is always using combined arms to wear down the defenses?

  49.  @ZootyZoFo  Saly your statements a proven false. The reality is Russiavuses air support ground artillery support and armor in their assaults. A human wave attack is always an assault of pure infantry thrown mindlessly at an objective with no aforementioned support. To continue to ignore the facts of the tactical realities serves no useful purpose at all. The real danger is giving an inaccurate description of the threat the Russian military actually poses. Underestimating your enemies abilities if not outright ignoring their abilities would be fool hardy. Basing military strategy like this is the main reason Ukirainian forces have committed forces in forlorn hopes like the Crimean counter offensive that lead to disaster and no improvement for Ukirainian position. SMH. I am at a loss to understand why people like you can't understand how you think propagandavwill help ukirainevto get military aid? When commonsense is if ukiraine is doing so well why do they need billions in support?
