Everytime the Russians retreat and give up land its ALWAYS 'not a big loss', but when Russia makes any minor gains its always a great victory and is another step towards Ukrainian defeat. 🤣😂😅😆😅🤣

@staypuft899 I legit don't know why anyone can take Gonzalo seriously when he's been wrong so often for so long. That guy constantly makes wild accusations and can never back it up with any kind of source or proof.

@anceldesingano8687 because its not a lost since there army is perfectly intact while the Ukrainians have losses that can never recovered from or did you think that wars is always about taking territory not destroying the enemy war capabilities It looks like this is the new Russian narrative these days since they're not able to move forward in large offensives anymore and in fact are losing territory that they just annexed a few weeks ago. That all these successful Ukrainian offensives are coming at huge losses. Isn't that what the pro-Russian folks said a couple of months back about the Kharkiv offenisve? That they took 'huge losses' there as well? Now the Ukrainians are taking supposed heavy losses in the Kherson offensive, but the Russians are always finding ways of coming out of these battles largely unscathed? Yeah OK. Like I said before if this is actually true then the Ukrainians shouldn't be able to launch anymore major offensives because such losses are unsustainable and they will have run out of trained men to continue the attacks. I guess we'll see in the coming weeks if this is what will happen. The funny thing is this is EXACTLY what happened with the Russians which is why ever since they've retreated from the Kiev front, they haven't been able to launch any major armored offensive operations and have resorted to using infantry heavy attacks supported by artillery in their Donbas offensive and the results were moderate gains at best.

@anceldesingano8687 Considering most if not all the Ukrainians casualties are from artillery then the Russians are unscathed or didn’t you forgot about there artillery that still have Considering that they only have minor offensive here and there with companies level of troops not battalion level or even brigade level means they have massive losses or else they never go so far as finding more men in there territory to the point of looking at the refugee in other countries If you consider the Kharkiv and Kherson offensives as being 'minor' then I don't know what to tell you. All the territory that the Ukrainians gained in those offensives were more than the Russians gained since their initial offensives were brought to a stand still. The Donbas offensive was a joke in comparison. Most offensive are from infantry with support in from armored and artillery that happens since ww2 you think that armored spearhead is still a thing even though those sort of strategy are vulnerable to modern weaponry as shown in Israel wars with Arabs Is that why the Russians invaded Ukraine being led by a ton of tanks and armored vehicles? If what you say is true then why did the Russians send in hundreds of tanks to lead the charge instead of sending infantry in first and having tanks and IFVs supporting them? The reason why the Russian armored attacks failed was because they had no air superiority to provide close air support for their ground units and also their infantry and armor did not work together to lower the damage that Ukrainian anti-tank units were causing them. Also it doesn't help that Russian tanks are vastly inferior to western tanks and can't take a hit worth a damn. beside Ukraine while can get territory will never get you nowhere as long as the enemy military capabilities are still intact those 20k troops will moved to other fronts when the Ukrainians should have destroyed to make this whole front much more easier than already is You do realize that Ukraine is the country with the vastly smaller military budget and has much less equipment right? Namely it would've been nice if the Ukrainians had taken more Russian troops prisoner than they did, but its pretty hard for them to do when they're at such an equipment disadvantage in comparison to the Russians. A large portion of Ukraine's armored vehicle force is coming from captured Russian equipment these days. That's how poor they are and how small their defense budget is that they have to try and put every piece of capture equipment into service to keep themselves going. Yet even despite fighting at such a disadvantage they've managed to stop the Russian advances and are now counterattacking and taking back alot of what they lost. That's pretty damn good against a supposed 'superpower' nation that pretends their army is comparable to western country armies.

@anceldesingano8687 while Kherson and Kharkiv aren’t minor but the overall of the War effort they may as well be since again they failed to destroy the Russia military units in those offensive of theres and the Ukrainians don’t even have that much bigger disadvantage than the Russians both of them have advantage and disadvantage As I said while it would've been great to capture more Russian troops, they still lost significant numbers of troops and equipment in their retreat. That's not nothing and also the territory that the Ukrainians have taken back its not likely to fall to the Russians again because of their lack of combat power and competent troops led by competent leaders. Kherson city and the areas retaken by the Ukrainians are going to probably remain in their hands indefinitely for the rest of this war and beyond. The same probably goes for all the other land retaken in other parts of Ukraine. If the Russians took only moderate to light casualties escaping the Kherson area, if they ever decide to try and invade and retake that area its going to likely mean heavy losses for them now that the Ukrainians will be ready for any Russian attack in that area. Even if they have Air superiority they armored spearhead will never going to work infantry based weaponry is bane to all vehicles especially tanks what they need is more infantry which they doing with 300k men after all air superiority is nothing more a factor in overall war this type of conflict is decided by artillery which the Russians have huge abundance off This is where you're completely wrong. The reason why NATO and especially the US place so much priority in having the world's best airforce is because AIR SUPERIORITY IS EVERYTHING on the battlefield. Once you gain control of the air, you command the battlefield and can attack anything, anytime, anywhere. What does it matter if you have 300k troops and 1,000 tanks when it can all get wiped out with airstrikes and guided missiles? You say artillery is important and I agree, but airpower is king and when you have air superiority you can bomb the hell out of artillery and missile systems and wipe them off the map. All you need to do is find these units with surveillance drones or perhaps special forces operating behind enemy lines identifying targets and calling it in and boom that target is gone. Remember that 40km supply column that was headed to Kiev early in the war? The Ukrainians didn't have the weapons to destroy that juicy target. With NATO's airforce that entire column would've been completely wiped out along with most of the troops, tanks, IFVs etc that were on the front as well and it would've been a massive blow that the Russians might never have recovered from and may have ended the war right there. That's how important air superiority is. Artillery and rocket systems have more importance in Ukraine right now because both sides don't have control of the air and hence neither can launch deep airstrikes into enemy territory without having a high chance of getting shot out of the skies. Most of Ukraine equipment came from the west not the Russia equipment or else they be have logistics problems which they already have with different components that only belong to Russia factories case in point like MBT like T-80 and T-90 those tanks have different engine and different parts than the T-72 or the T-64 tanks that Ukraine have in abundance making them mostly rarely be While its true that NATO countries have donated some tanks and armored vehicles to Ukraine, a vast number if not the majority have come from captured Russian equipment and you do remember that Ukraine was a big producer of armored vehicles for the USSR in years past don't you? 'Malyshev Factory - is a state-owned manufacturer of heavy equipment in Kharkiv, Ukraine. It was named after the Soviet politician Vyacheslav Malyshev. The factory is part of the State Concern UkrOboronProm (Ukrainian Defense Industry). It produces diesel engines, farm machinery, coal mining, sugar refining, and wind farm equipment, but is best known for its production of Soviet tanks, including the BT tank series of fast tanks, the famous T-34 of the Second World War, the Cold War T-64 and T-80, and their modern Ukrainian successor, the T-84. The factory is closely associated with the Morozov Design Bureau (KMDB), designer of military armoured fighting vehicles and the Kharkov Engine Design Bureau (KEDB)[2] for engines. During 1958 it constructed "Kharkovchanka", an off-road vehicle which reached the South Pole the following year. At its height during the Soviet era, the factory employed 60,000 of Kharkiv's 1.5 million inhabitants.' As you can see the Ukrainians have plenty of people who can service captured Russian equipment when many of them were involved in building those vehicles many years earlier.

@anceldesingano8687 air superiority aren’t everything only become such a thing ever since iraq war a country which mind you don’t have modern Air defense system if say Nato fought on Ukraine they have the same problem as Russia having right now Air superiority has become nearly everything ever since WWII when aircraft became an important and vital part of fighting a war and any nation that didn't have a strong airforce was placed at a huge disadvantage. Having control of airspace gives you the ability to do surveillance, attack the enemy whether near the frontlines or deep behind lines and it significantly prevents the movements of armies and their supplies around the battlefield. Heck look at the battlefield in Ukraine at the soldier level right now where having drones has changed things so massively since the beginning of this war. The ability to be able to fly a drone to enemy lines and watch what they're doing and call in artillery fire on them and even drop small bombs on them to injure and kill soldiers shows how important having control of the air is these days. On a more strategic level look at how the Russians not having air superiority has hurt them so much because Russian aircraft cannot go deep behind Ukrainian lines to destroy HIMARs and other MLRS systems as well as western artillery pieces that have been doing so much damage to the Russian army and their supply lines. If Russia had air superiority they would have a much higher chance of finding those systems and attacking and destroying them and reducing Ukraine's ability to fight in this war, but too bad for the Russians they've never gained control of the air and therefore can't launch those types of attacks deep behind enemy lines. if I remember right and beside that factory especially now with there energy grid still having problems you also forgot that while they can build engine but only with the older T-72 tanks not newer tanks or like T-80 or the T-90 those tanks uses way different components than the Ukrainians have in there arsenal thus making them Harder to maintain properly like any other captured vehicles really and you use the soviet era not Modern Ukraine which mind you are different both economically and militarily to begin with those people that have experience either are in old age or left the country once the conflict start and fact that most of those factories were bomb by the Russians The point is there are plenty of qualified and skilled workers who can keep existing Ukrainian vehicles running and also repair and fix many abandoned and damaged capture Russian vehicles who are similar if not the same in the parts they share or else they can cannibalize some Russian vehicles to fix other ones. Here's a video of what I'm talking about where Ukrainians are opening small repair centers to fix vehicles and put them back into service and then they move elsewhere to prevent themselves from being found and potentially bombed by the Russians. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GXLzSU0Ayic They didn’t lost that much troops or equipment in Kherson after all they retreated with 20k and 5k plus military vehicles and those vehicles that can’t be fall back either left behind or destroyed although most this military vehicles are broke down vehicles either there engine or transmission so good luck to the Ukrainians for repairing them That's the point. Even broke down vehicles that can no longer be fixed to working condition again can often be torn down for spare parts to fix other less damaged vehicles and put them back into service. You wonder where the Ukrainians can get spare parts to fix their vehicles, well they're often getting them from directly from the Russians themselves thanks to their generous donations.
