Selidovo Strike
Top War ^ | 2/13/2024

Posted on 02/14/2024 12:33:18 PM PST by Kazan

The Russian Armed Forces attacked Ukrainian reserves converging on Avdiivka for a counterattack. According to currently available information, ours covered targets in Selidovo, where units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine arriving at the front were unloading. Russian resources report this.

Those Ukrainian TG channels were right when they warned that the Russian command was aware of all of Syrsky’s plans, including the accumulation of reserves to Avdeevka. Just the day before, several of the most adequate Ukrainian resources wrote that the concentration of large concentrations of Ukrainian Armed Forces military personnel near the front should simply attract Russian missiles. In principle, this is what happened, but the blow was struck slightly deep into the defense.

So far, the following is known: the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine began to withdraw units from several directions and transfer them to Avdeevka, the unloading of the units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine was carried out in Selidovo, from which it is approximately 30 km in a straight line to Avdeevka. Ours fired Iskander missiles at the training ground where these units were concentrated. It is reported that at the time of arrival there could have been from 1,5 to 2 thousand Ukrainian Armed Forces military personnel there. Russian intelligence did a great job. The losses of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are not named, but dozens of seriously wounded and corpses are being transported to Dnepropetrovsk and Pokrovsk.

Meanwhile, Ukrainian resources, citing a source in the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, report that some units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine tonight began to voluntarily leave their positions in Avdiivka in order to avoid being surrounded. Syrsky went to the headquarters of the Tavria command to direct the defense from there.

The only one who failed was Putin

His invasion failed to conquer Ukraine, and now Russia is hopelessly bogged-down in a war it cannot win, sacrificing tens of thousands of its own troops for incremental land gains

Still like to know for which 3-letter agency you are working for.

If you are really Canadian, shouldn’t you focus on Canada draining its resources to fund the civil war and leave the US out of it? Our only concern now is how to recoup the money and resources already spent. Maybe Ukraine cedes territory to the US, we could make it a new US territory? Or, maybe they welcome all illegals in the US and we ship over 60 million unwanted illegals?

Russians don’t think Putin failed. They are fighting for their motherland.

If you go to the source of this thread and read all the comments and you will get a lot of personal “inside” on Russia’s ground war. VERY internal eye openers. Source is at fine type at bottom. (Baned in Russia).

He certainly living up to his billing. The word going around for the past few days was he was sending up his very best troops to that area to reinforce failure.

It will be interesting to watch and see what really happened. Not to say things weren’t exactly as written, of course, but I have noticed a pattern.

When Russia suffers a big loss of some kind, there will soon be stories of great victories that block out the bad news.

In this latest example, it might have been missed when their media reported:

”Unfortunately, the information was confirmed. Last night, sea drones attacked the large landing ship of the Russian Black Sea Fleet, Tsezar Kunikov. As a result of the attack, the ship was holed and sank off the southern coast of Crimea.”

Ouch. Is that the end of the Black Sea Fleet? It was loaded with tanks and ammunition, too, making the loss even more significant.

“Another reason not waste $61 billion on this”

The ~$40 Billion in Military aid the US has sent so far, has Russian military casualties approaching 400,000, so another $60 Billion might take it close to a million. About $100,000 a pop, not counting the additional value of all the hardware and ammunition expended.

Out of 8,668,400 total Soviet combat losses in WWII where nationality could be established, only 5,756,000 were Russian (66%). Ukrainians made up 1,377,400 losses (16%), Belarusians 252,900 (3%), Tatars 187,700 (2%), Jews 142,500 (1.6%), Kazakhs 125,500 (1.4%), Uzbeks 117,900 (1.4%) and other nationalities made up less than one percent of the total losses apiece.

So about $600 Billion to inflict total military casualties on Russia greater than WWII - about 70% of this year’s US Defense budget, but that could be spread comfortably over 3-4 fiscal years (one Presidential term).

Russia’s mafia regime might well be willing to send that many Russian men and boys to the slaughter, but there is no way that that Russian hardware and ammo supplies would last anywhere near through that much fighting.

The West can easily afford a crushing historic defeat of the Russian Military.

Clearly, Russia deserves it, due to their illegal aggression and their atrocious criminal conduct of the war.
