How Russia is Winning The Battle of Attrition in Ukraine
YouTube ^ | October 1, 2024 | HistoryLegends

Who will break first? Russia and Ukraine are engulfed in a difficult battle where both sides are in need of a lot of replacements at the front. Russia's mechanized forces and its firepower advantage are causing a lot of problems. In turn, Ukraine is mobilizing more and more of its population to reinforce frontline units. Meanwhile, western reports mention that Russia is suffering from a shortage of military equipment, and that the Russian Armed Forces could collapse at any moment.

As usual, ‘HistoryLegends’ provides excellent context and analysis (sprinkled with random inserts of humor) on the military situation in Ukraine.

I highly recommend him as a hard-to-find reliable and neutral source of information.

If “winning” is losing over 1,100 Russian troops per day.

‘HistoryLegends’ is Not a neutral source, but Russia a propaganda outlet

Well they will likely be out of their stockpile of Soviet armor by the end of the year at current attrition rates.

Maybe, to definitely for certain values of out out of equipment. The most modern and in best condition equipment from those stock piles has gone to Ukraine in the last 2 years. Some of the stuff there that is some combination of terrible condition and of questionable utility on the modern battlefield will still be in the depots next year. i.e. who wants a t-64 with bird nests where the optics should be, mice nesting in the auto-loader, and lots of rust on the hull (it took use of lots of leverage to get the hatch open to do a visual inspection of the auto-loader).

But just wait until Z-Man implements his “Victory Plan” just like he did
with his vaulted “Spring Offensive”.
His “Spring Offensive” flamed out and so will his “Victory Plan”.

Post a link to your cited numbers.

What started out as “shock and awe” became “fire and maneuver,” then “trench warfare.” It has now devolved into a war of attrition. That is not good news for Ukraine. To win a war of attrition, you have to kill the casualties you receive five times or more.

Currently, Ukraine is only managing a three times kill rate.

There are many sources, but none that are Russian friendly which are the only figures you would except. So no linky for you.

They will have to use them if only for stationary artillery or armored bombs.

But that is all their armor, and most, if not all, of the artillery pieces - some of those may be redeemed, if they make new tubes for them, but even that is in doubt.

Then we will disregard your Ukie Propaganda Death Numbers.

You complain about the source in this thread.
Yet you grab Ruzzian Daily Death Numbers out of the sky.
With no linked source.
