  1. In WW2 was feasible. Air power was not as devastating as it is today. You ndeeded a dozen fighters to ensure a tank was destroyed, nowadays is almost the inverse.

  2. My bet.. Wargner coup is a deceit to move all wargner forces to north of Kiev where they can suddenly start a whole new front.

  3.  @baburao4570  Railroad passing within firerange of it. THe best logistic route to push to west.

  4.  @binks3371 Yes, but takes time. And time standing still in front of artillery is not healthy.

  5.  @arty5876  Russians also have GEo Positioning guided artillery. In fact they were the first to test it. They just did not have money to convert as much of their artillery into it.

  6.  @benni-lu1op  It is not the location, the thing is in the last 3 months the attritionrates on Ukranian army have been increasing a LOT. Ukraine made backmut their stalingrad and vowed to throw everything there... and they are failing. When you fail at your own stalingrad that means you cannot do MORE than that (at the moment).

  7.  @lucifer1661  Considering that it is a city (not a village) with roads and railroads crossings and with a river crossing, with forests on its flanks... it is a natural fortress and planned or not it is a strong defense line composition.

  8. Rocks are impressively good at providing cover.

  9.  @JayW76  No not everything, neither chemical or biological weapons. So no Weapon of mass destruction.

  10. Soviet union was paranoic about it, so they had absurdly huge stockpiles of all types of ammo that were simpel dumb and could be storaed for ages . So in case of a war they could focus production in other types of ammo. So Simple bullets, andiron bombs is somethign Russia has to spare

  11. Because in a true democracy like USA (as in where the votes are really public opinion and not influenced by external countries) the loss of soldiers is an electoral disaster. US government can never afford to lose tens of thousands of soldiers or they will not re elect.

  12. Not the only. There are 2 more. Will not link here in respect for his channel, but there are others that do similar work.

  13. damn, and I thought was to eat a greasy hamburger over the launch console of an ICBM

  14. NO Kherson region they still expected to advance to odessa and get a new logistic chains from there. But when that failed it was too late and the problem was not defending as much as supplying their troops across the river.

  15. There is also the fear that a single large push can be faced by a massive employment of Russian air power that could cripple them in one go. Russia is not suign mcu their planes, they are likely savign them for such a scenario.

  16.  @xabierpo1525  Point me then better ones. Because you can count in the fingers of one had the number of countries with absolute speech freedom, that is the most important factor in a democracy. I can think in Switzerland as one example that might be a superior democracy, but not any other.

  17.  @jonpetter8921  backhmut was around 7 months and that included high winter where nothing moves. To more fair would be to say 4 and half months.

  18.  @joerussell9574  nAaa HEAT shells are completely useless against Composite armor and modern Reactive armor. They are useful only against light armored things or the sides of a tank.

  19.  @gregorysemmeles7078  Probably up to the canal at least since nothing before that is a defensible ground

  20. Yes, but that right side bulge grew fast, trough a whole line of ditches. Strange taht. Seems the Russians did foresaw some chance of a real breaktrough if they did not stood firm in there.

  21.  @xabierpo1525  Nothing on that changes if it is a democracy or not. Do not confuse fairness with democracy. Rome has slavery and it was a democracy. GReek City states were the birth of democracy and.. again slaves. Slavery or stratification does not imply a non democracy. DEmocracy implies the power comes from a segment of the society deemed Citizens. That strata can be smaller or larger.

  22.  @gaarakabuto1  No. You are the one that is mixing concepts. Democracy is not a statement about quality of a society. It is only about the legitimization of the power imbued to the state. Do not Mix the concept of true REPUBLICAN values with democracy. Both can be combined but they do not necessarily need to exist at same time. Again democracy is not related to freedom, to liverty, to equality or to ANY other such values. Democracy is legitimization of the power imbued in the government.. ONLY THAT!

  23. maskirovka is so embedded on Russians that I do nto doubt anything. We can even see next year a strange new candidate to US ellection with Russian accent.

  24.  @JustMe-wm9zg  They were destroyed exaclty holding the Russians.
    2
  25.  @contra_plano  Not really. Russians had a fast gain untilt hey stalled at the city entrance (and that is very normal when you enter a city large enough that you cannot simply encircle it with a battalion.

  26. Tanks.. ( tanks can only be killed by a direct hit) and that is why tanks are NOT obsolete, no matter what the journalists say.
    2
  27. That is one of the advantages of the soviet doctrine where most of the firepower beign from SIMPLE weapons... they can produce ammo for those REALLY fast. Russia inherited soviet preparations for a WW3 , including ammo factories deep inside their country that probably were beign reactivted as the war was being planned. They can get out of cruise missiles, but they will NOT get out of 155mm shells and rifle cartridges.

  28. yes... but what is their option? Russians control the land... if both sides just wait.. that is giving victory to Russia. Ukraine needs to find a breaktrough, but that is NOT easy.
    2
  29. Because the counter attack was exactly against the force trying to take it.. Robotyne is a small place and a single slip of 500m is enough to make it change hands.

  30.  @das81  Compare to basically any other country in world. You can count on the finger of one hand places that are more democratic than USA. You have the most important factor of democracy.. total liberty of expression. Now compare to several other so called democracies where the fovenrment can censor the citizens... those are the pretend democracies.

  31.  @aldosigmann419  Again .. check against the rest of the world and you sill see how amazing your democracy is. Be glad you have the first amend... in my country judges censor you and put you in jail, in name of democracy, if you raise any doubt or make any critics.

  32. that is modern warfare when both sides have modern weapons. Russian offesneives were nto very different after the first month.

  33. And why one side woudl cooperate to give info to the other side?
    1
  34. Naa this will still take a long time. This cycle will not even before the new winter and at winter the front stops moving. Probably this war will take yet another year.

  35. Probably an overclaim (all sides overclaim in any war)... but likely a few have indeed been permanently lost.

  36. of PUBLIC restraint... we have no clue how he acts away from cameras.

  37.  @RaymondCore  Yup. nato troops would INEVITABLY end up with Moscow, New York, Washington, Paris, berlin, London all obliterated with nuclear mushrums

  38. One this is clear, this in future will be known as the drone wars... drones changed war as tanks did in past and the machine gun before it.

  39.  @WinterXR7  Maybe yes, maybe not, Chasiv Yar is large and with a layout that makes easier to defend (they also had a not of time to prepare defenses). Each remaining soldier there will be worth a lot.

  40. Russians are savign their air power to the condition that a single massed assault is attempted.

  41. His only change was part of the armed forces move to his side. He had no air force... he had zero chance.. and an internal uprisign is something China would have no qualms on helping Russia with.

  42.  @joerussell9574  1st, these crews are barely trained by NATO standard, 2nd if you had the roudn loaded because of other target is better to fire then to spend the time changing. Also that explosion, reviewign the video, implies HE not even heat, too large for HEAT. That in fact put the quality of Ukraien training even more into question.

  43. Russia is not a superpower (SOviet Union was) it is a regional power.
    1
  44. @Shono123 That alone doe snto make you a superpower. A superpower demands you to be able to enforce your politica, military and ECONOMICAL influence in a transcontinental basis. You cannot be a superpower with an economy as weak as Russia have.

  45. Well Ukraine NEEDS to push. They cannot just sit and wait since they are the ones that have lost territory. Politically they do not have many options

  46. You cannot enter the airspace of a country at war without a passenger list send to the local authorities before hand. THe wird thing is.. WHY woudl he be flyign into Russia?

  47.  Mr Cruel  They cannot. If they bypass it then they cannot use the railroad that pass close to it.

  48.  @robertcras8151  But the crew survive and the tank is recoverable. TO really destroy a tank you need a direct hit (large artillery can work if it lands like 1 or 2 meters from the tanks, but that is basically a direct hit for such large shells)
    1
  49. No way there is condition for that. The most ambitious but still non ludicrous resutl could be to cut the south front from supplies forcing Russians to move back to Crimea and moraiopol fronts.

  50. Yes, still is. Is not strategically consolidated but is still a gain.
