“Losses are small?”
There sure were a lot of “losses” found littered along the road stinking up the landscape after the liberation of Lyman.
Putin “remains a brilliant strategist.”
Sounds like the Russians really are outmatched by Ukraine due to Western support. If they are decisively defeated in the field, what will Russia do next?
In terms of military theory, Ukraine is so far inside Russia's OODA loop that the Russians are combat ineffective on anything above the company level. Hit them head-on, and they can still fight. But that's why Ukraine generally isn't doing that.
Been saying this for almost a month now, but the lack of Russian armored counter attacks is a gigantic red flag to those rooting for a Russian victory. As this source rightly pointed out, these type of Ukrainian advances would be vulnerable to strong armored counter attacks. But the Russians simply aren't capable of mounting them.
He’s talking about Kherson in this report. Not Lyman.
Well, it means Ukrainian forces are "secretly" under NATO command and control - which Russia should have anticipated once the war dragged on.
The inability to fight in bad weather is what sank the Moskva. We’ve discovered a weakness.
True that... just putting to the lie to the Russians’ standard “losses were small.”
Losses WILL be big for the Russians at Putin’s upcoming last stand at Nova Kakhovka.
I think in reference to what is happening in Kherson, that is probably correct to this point. It appears the Russian units are fleeing quickly enough that they're not going to get caught in the same kind of cauldron in which they've been caught multiple times in the east.
The Great Reset crowd that wants to exterminate 90% of the global population is winning!
Yay!
Not trying to catch those that are encircled is not necessarily an indication of little strength. It is much more likely a case of "haul-ass and bypass". That is typical of mobile warfare!
Taking Nova Kakhovka will open the floodgates, hopefully!
It’s been almost entirely downhill for Russia militarily since HIMARS started taking out Russian ammo dumps, HQ, etc. Anything close to an even fight reveals the Russian military for what it is: corrupt and fake.
I don’t think the Ukrainians have a network-centric battle management system. They are still using mostly Soviet equipment and that has not been adapted for western battle management systems yet. But if they have been indoctrinated to haul ass and bypass the effects could be about the same to a much more primitive military system.
Yep.. they're oh-so-formidible when looting homes, killing old people and raping children. Face up to them with equal force and they run like the chickensh*ts they are.
