They are merely preparations for the Russian offensive. If their future offensives are going to be the same as their Donbas and Bakhmut offensives then the Ukrainians are going to be fine. Its pretty crazy to think that the supposed 2nd most powerful army in the world is resorting to using Cold War era tanks because they've taken so many losses. If the Russians couldn't make many gains with better tanks at the beginning of the war, I'm doubting they're going to be making much gains with much worse tanks and a near non-existent airforce on the battlefield. The Russian tactic all through this conflict was to inflict massive damage to the Ukrainian forces and limiting their own losses. Too bad things have completely backfired on them and they've taken far more losses than they could ever imagine. Its sad that the Russians have never cared about their own people and that they're willing to throw even more Russian lives away for no good reason. I guess this has always been the Russian way and things will never change.

@rogeroeyen Until about a month ago, Russia deployed about 80.000 contract soldiers in Ukraine, from which about 30.000 returned home because they were end of their six month contract. If that's what you want to believe then go right ahead. The fact is the Russians invaded with a 200,000+ army and they took heavy losses. You don't have to believe the media, you just have to look at the situation on the battlefield. The Russians were advancing early in the invasion and then once they retreated from the Kiev front, they haven't launched any significant armored attacks since. The Donbas and current Bakhmut offensives by the Russians have been largely infantry attacks supported by artillery and rockets with some airstrikes here and there. The days of the Russians large masses of tanks and IFVs has gone and now if they want to launch any major armor attacks in the future its going to be mostly with Cold War era tanks unless they choose to strip their other frontline units of armored vehicles. A team from the NYT counted (up to about a month ago) the Russian deaths by counting the number of funerals in Russia and couldn't come up with more than 8.000. You do realize that when you're fighting on the battlefield, when your troops die you're probably not going to recover all the bodies right? Especially when you're under fire and are retreating at best you're going to gather your wounded and leave your dead for the enemy to bury them. There are plenty of Ukrainians these days who are burying the dead from both sides and the Russians have been offered the bodies of some of their dead back and they have refused because bodies means proof of death and the families of those fallen soldiers would receive at least some compensation for having their loved one die in a meaningless war. Of course the Russians don't want to pay out so they won't take the bodies back. Ukraine is now on it's 7th deployment and they are drafting all men up to the age of 60, that says more than enough of how well they are doing. Pretty soon they are going to draft women and toddlers from kindergartens. The funny thing is many of the recent Russian mobilized troops don't look very young and there's numerous videos of them complaining about the lack of supplies, equipment and training given to them. Some of these new recruits who have already reached the frontlines have been captured by the Ukrainians. On the otherhand if you look at all the videos of Ukrainian troops in the past few months there hasn't been many old men fighting on the frontlines so if you have video proof of Ukrainian troops being very old men then please give me a link because I sure as heck haven't seen many of them on the frontlines recently.

@rogeroeyen The 200.000+ was mentioned by the western media and never confirmed by Russia. The number of 80.000 came directly from the Russian military leadership. After all the lying and excuses the Russians have made to try and explain away all their mistakes during the war you're still going to believe everything they say? Really? LOL! The thing is you don't have to listen to the media from either side, you just have to look at what has happened on the ground on the battlefield. Do you know why the 200,000+ Russian troop number is probably right? Because US and NATO intelligence is insanely good and they have the best spy satellites in the world. They can track every individual Russian unit from their home base all the way to the frontlines which is why they were sounding the alarm when Russia was building up its forces along Ukraine's borders and it didn't look like a military exercise as they claimed. Everyday NATO satellites could see the ever increasing number of barracks being put up and more armored vehicles, supply trucks and supply dumps coming in close to Ukrainian borders. In this day and age there's very few places that you can hide your intentions from the enemy and in the case of trying to hide from satellites its near impossible especially when you have such good satellites as NATO does. Heck even regular people like you and me can have access to high quality satellite images if you're willing to pay for it. Just go to a place like Maxar and you too can pay for great quality satellite images which is what some Youtubers have done when they were making some of their videos on the this war. That was also the reason why they deployed the 300.000 reservists.The age of 60 for the next deployment is coming directly from the Ukrainian MOD. Again if you can find me video proof of older Ukrainian men that are apart of the regular army that are fighting on the frontlines then please do post it as I'd genuinely like to see it. So far ever since the Ukrainians have begun their offensives in September, I haven't seen many old men fighting on the frontlines for Ukrainians outside of a few exceptions like a few vets from the foreign legion. Almost every other soldier is probably in their 20s and 30s for the most part. Also I doubt this will change anytime soon when all the new Ukrainian recruits are now being trained and equipped by NATO countries and it makes no sense to spend valuable time and resources to train middle aged men when you have plenty of young Ukrainians that you need to train ASAP. Just a couple of weeks ago the UK finished training 10,000 Ukrainians and they're now back in Ukraine ready to fight. https://twitter.com/nexta_tv/status/1580244637284900864?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw The problem that Ukraine has right now isn't a manpower problem, its a training and equipment problem which will slowly be fixed as more NATO instructors start training more Ukrainian troops. This is what the Russians are lacking where their mobilized troops are getting somewhere between little amounts of training to inferior training if they're actually being trained. Over time Ukraine's soldiers will get better in quality while the Russians will get progressively worse. You don't have to take my word for it, just look at the results on the battlefield that have already happened the past couple of months and look at what will happen in the next few months and year. Russia right now will be lucky to stabilize the lines and stop the bleeding while the Ukrainians are continuing to plan and launch new attacks to regain their lost territory. Don't you think its interesting how many pro-Russian hacks like the idiots at the Duran said back in September when the Ukrainian offensives began that they declared the Kharkiv offensive was going to be small gains and that the Kherson offensive was a complete failure? Now a couple of months later how have their predictions turned out when the Ukrainians are nearly the outskirts of Kherson city looking to take it back? We shall soon see how things progress in the next few months and how well the new Russian reinforcements will do on the battlefield versus all the new Ukrainian troops that are currently going through NATO training and being equipped by them will do.

@kajuken Berli Tanks are very useful but need to be accompanied by infantry for maximum effect. This is true which is why the Russians failed so hard when their armored columns ran into significant Ukrainian defenses. With relatively little air support, poor logistics and not enough artillery support and their infantry and tanks not working together properly, they suffered heavy losses that they still haven't recovered from since. As I've said before there hasn't been a major Russian armored offensive ever since they retreated from the Kiev front. That's how much of a beating they took because their forces couldn't work together properly and perhaps even more importantly their logistical support was a complete disaster. Seriously its crazy to see how poor the logistics for the Russians are versus the US. Recently Wendover Productions made a couple of videos highlighting Russian vs US logistical support. US logistics: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iIpPuJ_r8Xg Russian logistics: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b4wRdoWpw0w The simple truth is that the US can fight anywhere in the world and support their forces properly while the Russians can barely fight beyond their own borders for more than a few weeks at best. They didn't know how supportive the general population would be of the SMO so they had to minimise casualties The truth of the matter was that Putin was counting on the Ukrainian forces to collapse quickly the same as they did during the Crimea situation and then later in the Donbas when they defeat Ukrainian forces relatively easily. Also they hoped the Ukrainian population would indeed welcome them or at least be neutral to them and not want to fight back. Both didn't happen and Putin and his generals' miscalculations have cost them dearly. If a generous 200,000 allied troops could conquer the amount of land they did without a unified command and mow away the UA army while using constant artillery barrages to soften UA defences; imagine what 300,000 more Russian troops can achieve under unified command and a larger budget due to partial mobilisation. The problem is the new recruits Russia are bringing in now are worse than their original force that they attacked with. On the otherhand thanks to increasing NATO help, new Ukrainian recruits are now getting NATO training and equipment in the UK and elsewhere from various NATO instructors who are ramping up the amount of troops they can train and equip so that they can get on the battlefield sooner. If Russia's new recruits can even stabilize the lines and stop Ukraine from making anymore significant gains that would be considered a major victory already let alone talking about counter attacks and retaking what they've lost. UA defences have been getting pounded for months, critical energy infrastructure has recently been targeted and UA troops, not having the luxury of rotation the Russians had, are pretty worn out. From a Russia perspective, now is when the real war is starting. The Ukrainians ARE rotating their troops out for rest which is why we've been seeing numerous heartfelt reunion videos of Ukrainian service men and women returning home to their families. In the coming months unless these new Russian troops are getting really good training and equipment, I don't see how they'll be able to stand up against ever increasing amounts of NATO trained and equipped Ukrainian soldiers on the battlefield.
