KomradeX posted:The state of the digging in as we saw during the summer wasn't good. I think a more plausible explanation for the summer stalemate was there just not being enough troops to go around for these assults.and they had advanced to the point where they had a whole front manned by glorified cops. Ukraine with a larger military and endless supply from NATO wasn't able stop the Russians till they had advanced to the point that the ground they had couldn't be covered by their own forces. I do not think the Ukrianians are as tough or as good as the propaganda wants you to think. Epspecially if Karkov blew through the last of their reserves and their back to using 40 year old NATO APCs for assaults because all their IFVs got blown up. I agree that the state of the digging that we saw during the summer wasn't good, but there was also considerably less time to dig in between February and June than there will be between now and next June. NATO supplies to Ukraine at the time weren't exactly "unlimited," either; supplies and equipment were slow to arrive for quite a while. So far I've heard a lot of talk about reserves being depleted after the Kharkiv offensive, but I haven't seen much in the way of conclusive evidence that that is the case. So far it strikes me as wishful thinking. Slim Jim Pickens posted:https://twitter.com/WarMonitor3/status/1588889891194408960 Literally every source we post itt is propaganda.

I'm afraid so. e: Wagner Group has reportedly made it into the city of Artemovsk: https://twitter.com/DariusYemelian/status/1589378842292256768 e2: I'm not sure if they're talking about Artemovsk in Luhansk or Bakhmut itself, which used to be called Artemovsk. I'll see if I can find out. e3: The claim I'm seeing going around twitter is that it's Bakhmut itself, but not much in the way of actual confirmation.

I don’t think the Ukrainians spent the last of their reserves on Kharkov but at the same time I don’t know how robust they are at the moment either especially in terms of equipment. Kherson has been a huge sink of men and materials and it really didn’t pay off and they are probably going to have to spread out the reserves they have more evenly across the country. Also, it really isn’t campaigning season at the moment but eventually the ground will harden with the first snows in the north.

At this point, it seems likely that father wear and tear has knocked out more HIMARS launchers than Russian targeting, and Russian forces have yet to post one image or video of HIMARS getting hit, though a few decoys have been hit and some trucks were mislabeled as HIMARS. However, no real accounting for how many GMLRS have been or have not been destroyed in warehouses left of launch. The launchers individually matter less than the ammo supply and rate of resupply.

Slavvy posted:Wonder what the efficiency difference is between a steam loco and a diesel, let me check... the biggest problem with steam locos was never the machine's efficiency, it's that you need a bespoke locomotive for every sort of rail incline/train weight combination you have on your rail network like, if you have a 2% grade you need to pull your 1000 ton train onto and you have diesel locos that can pull a 1000 ton train up a 1% grade, you can just couple 2 diesels together and problem solved you can't easily multiple-unit the old steam locos like you can with diesel-electrics though. firstly because these are hand made, purely mechanical machines, so from the start no two locos are exactly the same, nor do they have any engine control units installed secondly, you might say, "well, then just have more crewed steamers, surely that works fine!", but it doesn't. it is an absolute loving nightmare for the crews due to how finicky the entire pressure system is in these old machines. the basics of running a single steamer are very simple - if speed starts falling you increase steam pressure in your pistons, if pressure is falling you make the fire burn hotter. as soon as you have two steamers though, this poo poo all goes out the window even if you had two exact copies of the same loco, unless you also had the exact same fire and boiler level going in both locos for the entire route, you're going to be losing a ton of efficiency from either one of them because one might be burning a bit slower, but your pressure/speed aren't dropping because the other loco is picking up your slack, so you have nothing to react to until the other loco also starts struggling with its own pressure, and by then increasing the fire mass is probably too late because it can take a couple minutes for the heat to kick in and now the entire train is stalled on the grade. and like driving two steamers at the same time is hard, starting two steamers on a grade is just about impossible. so in the end you'll need like 4-5 instead of the theoretical 2 needed to reliably climb that 2% grade with the same train. you can train the crew to efficiently drive multiple steam locos, or you can just run more, smaller trains and lose a ton of efficiency, but if ukraine is struggling to keep diesels running, lol @ that idea however, fortunately for them, ukraine is all flat so that's all a non-issue
