Neocons lie but maps don't:
Ukrainian Control of Bakhmut Is Down To 10% | Front Update 18/04/23
denys,bloodthirsty UMCRevMom and vampiress Nuland: YOU LOSE !
"Many ask how are we doing on the front lines."Sounds like the Russians on the front are not as confident as online pro-Russian campists.
"It's like being in Harem."
"We know the AFU are gonna f us,"
"we don't know when."
“I can’t speak about the official losses of the Ukrainian army. Of course, they are there because we are defending ourselves. However, I can assure you that they are less than those caused by the earthquake in Türkiye,” Oleksii Reznikov said.
You’re doing fine. All eyes and minds on Bakhmut. That’s good.
It is video reported that 10 Russian tanks attacked and all were destroyed before they were able to fire on Ukranian positions. The whole attack and destruction was over quickly and is all on video
However this goes, warfare as it has been done in the past will have to be seriously rethought. Drones appear to be great assymetrical equalizers. Both sides lost the ability to use air cover effectively. The use of tanks other than stand off mobile artillery is futile as they appear to get easily picked off. The fighting resembles a WWI meatgrinder scenario with far off unreachable artillery and men sweating it out in trenches and fox holes. Over the top boys!
