It's fascinating how people don't seem to get, that the MAJOR point of a strategy and tactics is, that the enemy doesn't know it.
It's one of the reasons why Russia is talking SOME shit here and there, that's tactical play. They don't just make up complete nonsense but on a distracting and confusing level and of course overall their whole tactical and strategical planning is far more advanced.
Take Bahkmut:
They come up with "See! Russia is evil and weak! They just send in Wagner and sacrifice conscripts for clearl to no gains."
In reality, they are acting from a position of overwhelming strength, but they don't just send them in like a horde, but created a massively fortified and surveilled frontline from which they act, while keeping the 'walls' strong.
Not only is this smart regarding minimizing your losses, it's also a nightmare for the enemy regarding planing, because that fortress can of course fire from all position. It isn't as easy as: let's just send everything to Bakhmut and crush the enemy, in contrary, that's the most stupid thing to do.
That talk about offense at best seems to try to force Russia to move - what they don't need to, since their surveillanec is so good, the know exactly where any bigger army gathers up, the don't need shouting from the enemy.
