The more is see of this, the more I think of that scene from battle of the bulge and German commander is surveying his tiger tanks in formation and states something to the effect of it can be done
Curious where all this equipment was marshaled for these attacks, how as this missed had to be enormous bit I can imagine someone saying, with all of this how can we lose
Of course that requires a touch of cognitive dissonance and continuing the definition of insanity…
This is what happens, just like bulge and Kursk where military operation are given political directives and time lines .
it was seen and destroyed long before it got to the zero line,, but with 40,000 troops some are bound to reach the line on foot, these, however, were also destroyed - resulting in over 2,200 casualties in 2 days - 70% of which came from the Adiivka front.
What meant was there have been hundreds of pieces of equipment that had was rounded up for preparation for this offensive, where was it marshaled, stored that the ukranians did not see this and hit it even before they launched their attacks
Now maybe they drove the stuff up from way behind lines on attack day but still that is a lot of equipment
The “motivation” for these soldiers is something to wonder about, patriotism, money, high, gun at their backs…. I don’t know but seeing all the destroyed stuff and I imagine they are aware of the casualties to just charge in is incredible , crazy but incredible
Esptthe ones that could surrender but take a grenade, what a mindset
