Russia masses over 40,000 soldiers, heavy armor near Kupyansk, hinting at plans for further advances
The New Voice of Ukraine via Yahoo ^ | February 2nd, 2024 | The New Voice of Ukraine

The Russian military has concentrated about 40,000 troops, more than 500 tanks, and 650 armored combat vehicles near Kupyansk, Illya Yershash, the head of the press service of the Khortytsia operational and strategic troop grouping, said on national television on Feb. 2.

In the Lyman-Kupyansk sector of the front, Ukrainian defenders eliminated more than 228 troops and 75 pieces of weapons, including tanks and infantry fighting vehicles, video surveillance systems, and various types of field electronic warfare equipment.

The U.S.-based Institute for the Study of War said on Jan. 21 that Russian forces had advanced along the Kupyansk-Svatove-Kreminna line and captured Krokhmalne in Kharkiv Oblast. Later, Volodymyr Fitio, head of the public relations service of the Ground Forces Command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, confirmed this.

The Offensive Guard said that the retreat of the Ukrainian Defense Forces from the village of Krokhmalne was not a "problematic situation" because it "cannot be considered a settlement."

For an army not afraid of casualties, 3 armored divisions is significant. Especially when paired with overwhelming artillery superiority.

“Especially when paired with overwhelming artillery superiority.”

Assuming any of it actually works and that the soldiers have any idea how to use them properly.

Putin is reeeealy desperate for to some kind of win to report before the election

So far, the war keeps sinking in popularity in Russia

After all, Putin has never really given a compelling reason for why Russia “has to” attack Ukraine, and more Russian men have to die

Even inside Russia, people are quietly saying, “Why are we attacking Ukraine? They never attacked us”

If there’s one thing I’ve learned about that war, it is to not believe anything I read about it on FR.

WWI thinking and human waves.....
When your a million dead in (soldiers, mercenaries, prisoners), double down and go till your out of equipment. Then get more equipment from China and N. Korea, draft some more people and do it again.

Probably will work though. Then again, it might not.

I read these threads to be amused by the purse fights. Not for content.

What was said here when we invaded Iraq. Those who questioned it then were right, and those in Russia with the same question per their invasion are right as well. Putins hubris, Russian and Ukrainian lives. Somethings never change.

Oh yes, the Russian artillery certainly works and it is vastly superior to what USA has. And after if you years of war they certainly know how to use it unlike the new dei recruits in USA.

There were allegedly 100,000 massed a few months ago, ready to descend on the Ukrainians on the eastern section of the front - Kupyansk too I believe. I think we have seen their efforts already.

Then why are we seeing all this video of 1950s era artillery?

Vastly superior it isnt. They bought a lot of artillery ammo from the NKs. Thats certainly not high tech.
