Putin's Russian soldiers using kamikaze ‘meat assaults' to exhaust Ukraine army

Kyiv's troops have been referring to the relentless attacks as "meat assaults" as wave after wave of soldiers crash into their defence lines.

The Ukrainian military said the strikes can come throughout the day, sometimes nearly a dozen times in 24 hours, in the hope of tiring them out.

Lt Col Anton Bayev of the Khartia Brigade of Ukraine's National Guard admitted responding to repeated assaults can be very difficult for his men to handle, even psychologically.

Speaking to the BBC, Lt Col Bayev said: "The Russians use these units in most cases purely to see where our firing equipment is located, and to constantly exhaust our units.

"Our guys stand in positions and fight, and when four or five waves of the enemy come at you in a day, which you have to destroy without end, it is very difficult - not only physically, but also psychologically."

He noted the tactic, however, is plagued with glaring issues that have left Russia grappling with a growing casualty rate.

I like this phrase “meat assaults”. This reminds me of all the Putin meat puppets here at FR. The duped who quasi—cheer on the devil’s axis of Russia-Iran- Norks- CCP China - Hamas-Hezbollah- Jihadist Muslims

I’d like to see video of one of these meat operations. Due to drones this has become a very small unit affair. I can’t recall seeing more than a squad at a time attacking. A large Russian movement these days might be two turtle tanks and an APC.

NATO was war gaming earlier this year. I saw video of massed armor and mechanized infantry pretending to attack the Russians. Those days are over. That column of NATO assets war gaming would have been decimated.

You sound like some weirdo Bond villain.

FYI the anti-Ukraine war contingent is fine with Israel defending itself.

If politicians weren’t making fortunes from endless US taxpayers this war would have ended in a week. BUT the Biden klan is making fortunes so it will continue until that degenerate chomo is ten feet under.

I have no love for either nation and hope they both lose from my Southern Polish ancestry. I will continue to vote for both nations to lose badly. However I am sad that so many young men are going to the meat grinder for nothing. L

Come on. Kamikazes in Japan were crazies who bought in and believed everything. Soviet Union broke up 30 years ago. So the 20-somethings are going to give up their lives for Ukraine dirt and Putin? Perhaps they’re scared. Haven’t they heard of fragging?

All the non western geo located video shows nothing of the sort. The corrupted western MSM say a lot- but not much supporting geo located video.

Give it up western MSM, you are looking like your senile, demented leader. How about some honest reporting? You failed on senile Joe’s condition, you have failed on your Ukie war.

Those two brain cells of yours are serving you well, allowing you to ignore history and pretend it all began at a time of your choosing.

Senile Joe’s reign is dead- his Ukie war died with it. Both were corrupted beyond belief. The good Lord works in mysterious ways. Amen.

This reminds me of all the Putin meat puppets here at FR.

Generals blaming their defeats on human wave attacks (American Civil War, Korea, WW2 Eastern Front) is as old as warfare itself.
