mlmp08 posted:A professional who assumes without evidence that Russia will do awesome doctrinal maneuvers and strategy, desperately discarding any evidence to the contrary, is going to be some garbage in garbage out analysis. Even if they sometimes happen to use doctrinal terms correctly, if it suits their point at that time. When needed, can discard the terms or misrepresent their meaning and say it’s so the proles understand. lol at the escalation in back biting you ok bro?

GoLambo posted:It's still not as stupid as suggesting they would fight block to block outnumbered 100 to 1. It can be some other kind of stupid, like expecting the shock to begin negotiations, but it absolutely isn't the poo poo you're trying to sell. Why don't you try a better guess then, instead of this obviously ridiculous one? There are plenty of bad, even terrible ideas they could have had about this, but that one is out of the question. It wasn't on the table. I dont think they expected to fight savagely block to block outnumbered 100 to 1, they would literally shock the Ukrainians out of even resisting with paratroopers and tanks appearing in the streets of Kiev on day one like when they rolled into Crimea. Replace the government, ensure Russian interests and Russian-speakers rights are respected, and then go home

lobotomy molo posted:except saying that russia probably blew up their own pipeline No, I didn’t. If you require making poo poo up to attempt a burn, seems weak. Regarde Aduck posted:hey now, mlmp08 doesn't get things wrong because he never actually says anything. I just don’t make the insane claims people ascribe. Instead my predictions have been pretty mild. Most of what I have said is either yet to be determined: thought war would continue until at least next summer. or it already has proven pretty accurate (air war, Kyiv, logistics, etc). I might not have posted it, But I overestimated Russia’s ability to conduct SEAD prior to the invasion and I overestimated their speed to take the Donbas once they withdrew from the failed operation vicinity of Kyiv. mlmp08 has issued a correction as of 00:22 on Dec 19, 2022 |

The pipeline was blown up on the orders of Liz Truss. I don't know or particularly care the details of how or why, but it's the funniest possible reason, so that's what I choose to believe.

According to Rybar, Ukrainian hospitals are running out of the resources to cope with the wounded and dead they are taking in. This seems to generally jive with other reports coming out of the Donbass. Otherwise, the Russians are claiming to have taken out at least 4 s-300 launchers in central Ukraine. It may be that the focus is turning toward AD. Ardennes has issued a correction as of 01:34 on Dec 19, 2022 |

The hospital thing started ever since the infrastructure strikes became a problem. Hospitals were already getting hit pretty hard having to deal with the costs of Ukrainian offensives since Kharkiv, but they also had their generators taken by the army for the frontline. Some big names were setting up donation drives to buy generators because turns out places that should have had them, didn't.

It’s not good, obviously, but how bad depends on their medical model. So much of the Ukrainian Army carries forward Soviet systems that if that remains the case here, glossed in posts way back when but in detail in FM 100-2-2: The Soviet Army: Specialized Warfare and Rear Area Support (Jul ‘84), the hospitals shouldn’t really be the backbone. In that model,casualties are supposed to be treated at as low an echelon as possible and returned to action. Only the most severe cases should even enter centralized rear areas hospitals, let alone civilian hospitals. As they are are “out of the war” if they’re sent that far back (harder to return to their units), it’s a last resort. In other words, it’s not like our use of Role III or Landstuhl, where injuries that could be treated and the patients’ lives saved at much lower levels were evacuated. It was made under the rationale of WW3, so walking wounded better walk their rear end back to battalion as soon as they were stabilized and could do their job. Ukraine’s medical system is opaque, but scanning military medical journals I don’t see any changes, or much reporting really other than wound types etc. I would guess Ukrainian military reforms since 2014 did not make any changes to change to a “NATO” model more than superficially, and in the low intensity phase they simply evacuated casualties out of theatre to other nations, rather than building capability. So - the lack of generators and filling civie hospitals is bad, no doubt at all, but it really depends on if they’re trying to be Big Israel, or Little Soviet Union. Under how we in western militaries are used to treating casualties - I was operated on by specialists same calendar date as injury - that’s extremely loving bad at bare minimum for PR and morale. Under Soviet standards, what matters is what amount of casualties are making it back to their units and how quickly, so if they’re still feeding the battle, it’s doing its job.

It does seem generally just being the Soviet model of sending the wounded they can back to the frontlines, it is just the catastrophic cases are piling up along with a growing lack of morgue space (a bit macabre). That said, the Ukrainians are locked into Bakmut at this point though even if they are slowing losing control, and the human toll is considered acceptable.
