Fair assessment, but I will take exception to having manpower to operate artillery systems, I think that number is relatively small compared to frontline manpower needs and loss rate I would imagine would be far less
Your conclusion goes against many Putin shills out there who claim Russia has taken what the want…., sue for peace
Any peace agreement would be like a ceasefire for humus, time to rebuild before next aggression
Thanks for your reply.
From the videos that I have monitored, it seems that Ukraine is beginning to lay down many thousands of mines all along the front, and in considerable depth.
Now that there is no longer an offense to recover territory.
At first, the current Russian gains appear to be Ukraine weakness, but Ukraine is changing its “applications.”
There is a rush, by Ukraine, to keep laying down landmines; and conversely, a rush by Moscow to try and penetrate faster than Ukraine can produce a nationwide belt of mines.
Moscow is also trying to wipe out Ukraine air defenses, at a pace that exceeds Ukraine’s ability to replenish. I am guessing that Moscow “thinks” that it must attempt some air assaults in locations that it can reinforce by land.
The landmines are a problem for Moscow.
