I've been ignoring most news out of Bakhmut since it's been mired in a grinding positional battle for like literally half the war, but it seems like the latest round of combat has been more intense than usual.

the pro-russian side keeps getting excited about bakhmut, and apparently the russians have been inching forward south of the town. the wagner guy claims that what they're trying to do is to maximise ukrainian casualties - since ukraine really wants to defend bakhmut, the russians can force them into unfavourable engagements. this does not seem to me like a good strategy and could be an excuse for slow progress, but it's a claim being made. i think that bakhmut's going to have to be abandoned by the ukrainians early next year (before march, let's say). the russians have good supply lines and good positions, and it's a less critical position for the ukrainians than it used to be. i don't think it's going to lead to any kind of a general breakthrough.

I mean the Ukrainian's whole M.O. this entire war has been throwing good lives after bad positions, they seem to be absolutely unwilling to give up any towns or positions no matter how strategically unimportant. Remember when they launched those counter attacks to re-take Severodonetsk that had virtually no chance of succeeding and all they managed to do in the week before the attacks were abandoned was get more of their troops stranded in the city? The word we've been getting all along is that the reason for the slow Russian progress is because Ukraine is leveraging their huge manpower advantage to cycle in fresh troops after the previous ones holding the positions are used up by the Russian artillery and bombs, I guess the debate is whether Russia being able to inflict 3x or 4x the casualties on Ukraine as they suffer is likely to produce anything in the way of results in the next years.

bakhmut is a transportation hub in addition to being a fortress town in its own right and a major anchor of the present ukrainian defensive line in donetsk. if the russians can secure it, the ukrainian task of defense along that line becomes much more difficult. i don't think it becomes impossible - when russia held their positions in kharkiv they had something similar going on from the north - but ukrainian planners don't want to deal with it. conversely, if the ukrainians are hoping to go back on the offensive in this sector, then bakhmut is very valuable.

The same deal as the M101 howitzers: I understand FALs were in storage, and they’re fine, but what happened to all the FNCs? There are missing generations of stockpiled weapons. e: Canada has a huge stockpile of Lee-Enfields the government is supposed to liquidate over the next two years, I look forward to the comments on twitter if they end up there.

Launching continuous assaults on one of my enemies most heavily fortified positions does not seem like the most efficient way to bleed them. Especially since they don't have the overwhelming advantage in artillery any more. The NYTimes has a recent article about the battle: https://www.nytimes.com/2022/11/27/world/europe/ukraine-war-bakhmut.html quote:Russia’s strategy in Bakhmut is reminiscent of its seizure of the eastern cities of Sievierodonetsk and Lysychansk in June. There, Russian troops relied on superior artillery fire to overpower Ukrainian forces and gain ground. But the Ukrainian forces they faced then were short of both shells and Western-supplied artillery — something that is no longer as pressing, especially in Bakhmut. It's a good way to attract enemy artillery shells I suppose.

At the end of the day, he didn't think he should be president. And I guess I agree with that. Why he ran for president if he didn't want to be president is beyond me though.

I guess the big deal more than strategic differences is that the Russians are shifting the narratives a bit from what they were 2 weeks ago. Yet, narrative moment flip flops all the time. That said, I actually very much doubt there is a parity in artillery considering the information that has come out. It is just the Russians are back to their grinding approach.
