Does the Russians taking Bakhmut at this point even matter outside of propaganda purposes? Its one small town in a very large country and ultimately won't make much difference in the war's outcome.

@simnobody Against an establish battlefront running around in vehicles (armored or not) looking for openings is just makes you dead Well this has certainly been the case for the Russians so far in this war which is why all their major armored pushes early in the invasion have eventually been halted by the Ukrainians. They've lost so much armor that they were reduced to fighting WWI style with infantry heavy attacks. Its crazy to think that a modern supposedly 2nd most powerful army in the world could lose so many armored vehicles that they're no longer capable of launching large scale mobile offensives. It would be like the US Army losing so many Abrams and Bradleys that they have to dig up Vietnam era tanks to bring back to push to the front. It would be insane to see the US being reduced to doing that, but here we are seeing the Russians doing exactly that.

@mikelee7318 Perhaps Ukrainian commanders believe that they're still able to cause enough damage to the Russians to make it worthwhile to take casualties continuing fighting them there? Perhaps they think that delaying them at Bakhmut is also worth the expenditure of forces as well as reasoning that if they give up the city sooner rather than later that they'll have to fight them elsewhere anyways and have more territory and cities ruined so why not try to reduce the damage to their country by fighting at Bakhmut for as long as possible? Sure the Ukrainians are taking significant casualties, but so are the Russians and their offensive is barely crawling forward right now. The Russians nearly have the Ukrainians encircled yet even after all these weeks they're unable to close the gap and complete that encirclement. As well Russian armored vehicles are getting destroyed in significant numbers in and around Bakhmut and now they can't even launch any further large scale armored offensives anymore. Could you ever imagine that the US army would be losing so many Abrams and Bradleys that they would be reduced to pulling out Vietnam era vehicles to replace those losses while having their soldiers fighting in trenches WWI style the way the Russians are doing now? I sure as hell couldn't and yet the supposed '2nd most powerful' army in the world is doing exactly that which is truly insane for them in 2023.

@alanmcbride6658 Well as we've seen so far in this war, the vast majority of supplies and equipment being sent to the Ukrainians seem to be getting through relatively unharmed. Haven't seen much of it getting destroyed before it reached the frontlines and was put into action. As far as I've seen recently, the biggest destroyer of NATO equipment like western artillery has been from loitering drones rather than from anything else.

Good job on the Russians for taking three quarters of the ENTIRE WAR to take a small town and its surrounding area that has relatively little strategic value. It was funny as hell to see Alexander minimizing the Kherson and Kharkiv offensives where the Ukrainians took back significant amounts of territory and many towns and a major city over several months and see him saying it was no big deal and then now see him jizzing all over himself that Bakhmut is almost taken as if that means anything.

@nvmffs If Russia is ending the war at the same speed that they've almost taken Bakhmut, then we'll be here for years.
