War of attrition has always been a cold calculated approach, how do I get the enemy to waste as much ressources as possible, while keeping own loses as low as possible. By making Bakhmut a point of political importance in Russia, it automatically became a point of interest. It might not have tactical importance, it might not even have military strategic importance, but the strategic importance politically, by denying Russia a symbolic victory while depleting their resources, will undoubtedly pay off in the end. Just think about how the blame game in Kremlin will go down!

As always, your perspective is much appreciated. I was looking forward to this update. I would love to know if you think Ukraine currently have the equipment to make a push for Crimea, or will the lack of modern aircrafts, (especially multirole fighter jets and attack helicopters), and thereby a lack of sufficient air support be holding them back? Tak for indsatsen Anders!

@brettcarlson914 That very much depends on how you're positioned in that war. If you have 400K and the enemy has 1.2M - and you can make them lose 5-8 soldiers pr soldier you lose - then a war of attrition is exactly what you should want!

@Bob-nd2mr Yup, the people who think China is a great allied to Russia has absolutely no comprehension about what motivates China. It's in their interest to see Russia weaken its influence. Less Russian influence means huge opportunities for China. It's not for nothing that the USSR used to have nearly as much military equipment at the their south eastern borders, as they did at their borders towards west!

@MattiasAllring If you're Scandinavian as your name sort of indicates, you actually do - although indirectly. 😁 It would surprise me a lot if the new strengthened cooperation agreement between the air-forces of the four countries of the Peninsula of Fennoscandia isn't working with information people like Navy Commander Puck Nielsen has been part of analyzing.

@robertbehrendt8685 And honestly, who believes Chinese military equipment is still inferior to Russian? China will soon take Russia's place as the third largest distributor of military equipment in the world, and Russia used to be second, (now France is in second place). Will probably take the second place away from France too... Russia has failed to deliver weapons to India, so trust in Russia as an arms dealer will dwindle, this leaves France and China as competitors to the second place. Trust in Russian equipment increased after 2014 Syria, but since 2022 it has been heavily decreased. It wouldn't surprise me one bit if Russia is down to a fifth place in 2025.... India will start buying more from Italy or France instead of Russia...

@TOUGHLOVEFINANCE "Majority aren’t even done training" A lot of that "majority" received less than six weeks training before they were sent to the front! At Bakhmut Russia has been loosing around 5–8 soldiers pr 1 Ukrainian soldier!

Og hvornår vi, (altså både os og vores allierede), begynder at overdrage dem våbentyper der giver dem mulighed for at yde den fornødne luftstøtte. Det optimale fly for Ukraine lige nu ville nok være det svenske Gripen, men hvis man ser på hurtig tilgængelighed og antal der ville kunne skaffes, så vil det jo nok være F-16. Det ville nok også være en kæmpe fordel hvis Tyrkiet kunne sende nogle af deres T129 helikoptere, eller Italien sende den tilsvarende A129 - eller Apache fra UK/US...

@60degreelobwedge82 Sure, it could be that the Russian strategy is to deplete Ukrainian ammunition, by constantly throwing more targets their way! However, that’s really a bad strategy unless Russia is absolutely sure it has way more manpower than Ukraine has bullets!

@alainlefebvre9860 Oh, how brilliant - it’s not only on Social Media they’re busy ripping each other apart! I honestly tend to believe the numbers are at least 4/1, but probably way higher - and it wouldn’t surprise me if they sometimes hit 8/1 - it’s almost like Russia is attempting to drain Ukraine for bullets and shells, by just sending more targets!
