It was and is just a matter of time. I think a lot of the troops used in Kursk are relatively inexperienced, but thoroughly trained, so they're probably taking more losses in the short term, but the manpower, equipment and ammo are plentiful. It's just a question of how long it takes them to bring those forces to bear.

@sirdigbychickencaesar71 The Catholic Church always wanted more Catholics. The government used to, as well. Now they both want us not alive.

@Влад-ч8ь1с It's hard not to sound pro-Russian if you're being objective. There just isn't a whole lot positive to report for the Ukrainian side, but when there is, for instance, when he's criticizing Russia's tactics in the past. In fact, I was going to jump in and say, the current emphasis on maneuver is more the product of the destruction/counter-measures of/to Ukrainian artillery pieces, artillery ammo, air defenses and FPV drones. I think that a year ago, the Russians were obliged to push ahead in a heavily fortified, slowly moving line. Any Russian advances along a particular line created salients that were vulnerable to attack. So anyway, I'm not sure that the Russians are necessarily changing tactics because they got better at maneuver warfare or because there are more and more opportunities to penetrate the front lines and survive it. For instance, they took on Bakhmut head-on, when I thought they would be wiser to bypass it and threaten to encircle it, creating a cauldron for forces trying to reinforce it, forcing the retreat out of Bakhmut. But in hindsight, maybe the Ukrainians were much better at thwarting those kinds of maneuvers. Also, I don't think their purpose was to conquer Ukraine so much as win a war of attrition, and they destroyed a lot of Ukraine's fighting forces in the slug-fest.
