Hey yo, why after having a 3:1 advantage, home filed advantage so to speak, 10s of billions of US taxpayer dollars and 19 packages of US military ‘wonder weapon’ equipment sent, the Ukrainians still losing the war/conflict against Russia?

Here is a youtuber I’ve been following. He covers the broad economics of the war rather than details on losses or gains. He is thorough and fair handed.

Ukraine Situation Report: HIMARS Gets The America’s Got Talent Treatment
Saint Javelin’s latest production is another example of the unprecedented online information war swirling around the conflict in Ukraine.

———————————————————————————————————————
Summary:
Major Ukrainian offensive on Kherson bridgehead,
Day 6 of the offensive.
Ukrainian advances slowed to essentially stand-still due to fierce resistance by Russian airborne units.

Key areas:
- Izyum bridgehead: no changes
- North Donbass area: no changes
- Donetsk West: no changes.
- Kherson bridgehead:
Based on unconfirmed information, Ukrainian troops liberated village Blagodativka on Inhulets river near Andriyivka.

1. Kharkiv: No changes.
••Spotted just north of Kharkiv - the Orc 80th Brigade from the Arctic: Murmansk region, has two battalions: one is reconnaissance. Tiny, regiment sized unit - 2,500 troops at most. Probably been there for months.

2. Izyum bridgehead: No changes.
3. North Donbass: No changes.

4. West of Donetsk: No changes.
••Orc 42nd Division moved to Marinka area, just south of Donetsk.

5. Vugledar - Velyka Novosilka, Gulyapole: No changes.
••Only Orc 19th Division remains.

6. Kherson bridgehead:
••Ukrainian troops trying to put pressure in this western section along this front line to keep Russian troops here engaged so the Russian command doesn’t take them south of Davydiv Brid or move them to the northern section.

The whole point of Ukrainian troops attacking here from Sneharivka to south to Black Sea just to keep the 7th AD engaged in this area and not being withdrawn because that’s one of the most capable fighting forces on the bridgehead along with the 98th AD and 45th sfB; those are the backbone of Russian defensive troops. The rest of the troops are relatively low quality.

South of Davydiv Brid in north of Sneharivka, Ukrainian troops were stalled. There not much progress in either straight eastern direction or south or north south eastern or even it was kind of like southwestern direction here. They are blocked Russian troops, and more so by combined attacks and by air attacks: an important component here. Ukrainian command is trying to increase their bridgehead and make it much more stable.

Nothing has changed much since yesterday; the only thing that we have unconfirmed information is that Ukrainian troops managed to capture a village, further reducing the Orc salient. Ukraine command trying to make a rock solid bridgehead on the eastern side of Inhoulets River, which cannot easily be destroyed. It’s much harder to to attack the pontoon bridges across the Inhoulets River.

What we understand is they’re bringing granite gravel and trying to create artificial ad-hoc bridge that doesn’t rely as much on a pontoons so the troops can get on to the other side so that becomes fordable, turning their some areas of the river into fordable areas.

North from here, we don’t have really any new updates so we assume things are more as the same: 45th sfB was trapped here and the 331st/98th AD was not able to break out so far. Ukrainian troops managed to break through and advance south many kilometers. No new updates on whether they managed to move any further. This offensive was stalled by Russian troops, it’s not stopped, that’s a clear difference; it was stalled - it’s it’s grinding very slowly.

Ukrainian command decided: first of all, the bridges were completely destroyed across the Dnipro River; the Antonioski bridge, the railroad bridge, the tiny bridge across near the dam at Nova Kahovka on the bypass channel also destroyed. There are shots from the satellites, so we can see that’s confirmed.

What Russian troops are doing: they have ferries, but ferries don’t have the same capacity; they’ve been actively targeted by Ukrainian HIMARS systems. They also been hit, but this it still somewhat works. That’s the only reason Russian defenses are still somewhat working, event hough they are completely stressed. They still have supplies, but not large numbers.

The small flow still allows Russian troops to hold on, given Ukrainian troops don’t know how to attack properly, this is pretty primitive way of attacking, even to say it’s a peasant’s army trying to attack. Nevertheless, that even that weak unskilled troops are still putting Russian defenses on on edge.

Ukraine command also realizes all of these limitations. What they decided was to destroy Russian anti-air defense system systems on the bridgehead, and also on the eastern side of the Dnipro River nearby; that opens up sky for Bayraktar UAVs.

The Bayraktars are targeting Russian heavy artillery; most of the targeting 152mm SPGs, any heavy large caliber artillery, mortars, MLRS systems, and even tanks. The idea is Russian defense are still putting up strong enough defenses, even though there are some penetration, they’re limited; there are problems with resupply.

Ukraine command decided to slow down and slowly destroy these important strongholds, not just the strongholds, but their heavy equipment, or weaken them enough so that heavy equipment is not going to be able to put up any strong resistance. The Ukrainians to decided to destroy Russian heavy equipment and continue this slow grind.

This is death by a thousand cuts; it may take another month until the end of September before Ukrainian troops reach any conclusive results in this offensive; maybe it could be early October. It’s possible that in a week the Russian troops really start to fold here. We think the Russian troops literally need a miracle to stabilize everything and continue being able to control the Kherson bridgehead.

In the near future, as Ukraine gets resupply of those HIMARS rockets, the days of Russian presence on the Kherson bridgehead are numbered. That’s that’s a key takeaway.

Attacks in other areas become more weaker not as determined and so on because all of the attention, everything has been shifted to Kherson bridgehead by both Russian command and Ukrainian command.

Obviously Russian more important because they had initiative up to this moment; they are on the verge of losing initiative here. Once they lose here there will be probably losses everywhere else.

Also there’s some information being spread that all of these attacks are being carried out by Ukrainian troops prepared in the UK. That’s actually not true. Those 10,000 soldiers, specifically infantry soldiers, are still going through the training. They started at the end of June, maybe early July. It’s about a 90 day training period. They’re gonna be on the battlefield either end of September or early early October.

There is there are some some specialized crews which were prepared in the US & Germany in in the UK, but that was more like a course for artillery units, for artillery systems, for radar systems, and very specialized. It’s not a huge number it’s about 4,000 people, but they are not concentrated, just distributed throughout the entire front line.

Ukrainian so troops are getting beefed up in terms of the technical skills, specifically artillery, which is one of the most important forces in this war. At the same time this is all stretched around the entire front line and the present infantry remains Soviet trained. Those units that that were sent to to the UK, haven’t arrived back yet.

This is such stupid and unnecessary war.
The men of Kremlin thought it would be a 3 day invasion, just taking Kiev... now there is a 6 months old war going on. Killing scores of Russians and Ukrainians. What a waste of human life.
Since Putin didn’t even dare declaring war... (let that sink in for a minute!), I consider it therefore a terrorist attack.
Europe now understand why Trump pushed so hard for NATO members to pay their dues. He was helping Europe to defend itself against the new Soviet-Union 2.0.
