They sacked the other Z. He has been replaced by “butcher” Syrskyi. Rather than evacuating Avdiivka and pulling back to more defensible lines he is concentrating his reserves to try to get a PR victory. The Ukes feel they need that to enhance the chances of more funding from DC. He will definitely live up to his reputation with this stupid and losing move.
defensible lines? I can’t, to save my own brain, figger out what the Ukes keep shooting at? They don’t seem to have the concepts of forward observers, directed fire, etc. handled. And who the heck taught them how to shoot? As best as I can tell they shoot a lot of dirt. And it should be super expensive for Ivan to be attacking “defensive” positions?
That first 30,000 rounds of 155mm that we sent was more ammo than Patton used to run Rommel’s Germans out of North Africa. Timed, overhead 155 fire can take out a platoon per shot. The Russian army should be destroyed by now. It’s getting hard to be sympathetic to the Ukes with the apparent level of displayed dumbassness? Maybe they need a better boss?
