More from that attack on the T-treeline from a few days ago. Another attack makes it right outside the trench, the russians throw grenades into it. The guys are ready to make their last stand and call artillery on their own position. It saves their lives. A tank and an ifv arrive and wipe the floor with the rest of the attackers who try to run. https://twitter.com/GwarWorin/status/1639986914718515200 quote:In the history of the K2 battalion, there were many difficult battles. This is one of them. quote:There, two forest strips converge and seem to form an imaginary letter "T". Eight of our comrades in this position accepted an unequal battle that lasted the whole day.

This little trench cost +100 of russian lives alone from what's in there. So yea, the WWI comparison is never wrong. What utter madness.

Generation Internet posted:Just West of Lyschans'k and Severodonetsk Jeez, and this isn't even one of the hot spots that's being talked about in ISW/the news. Couple of thoughts: I just watched the video from two days ago as well. RF troops have no armor or artillery support (there's not even any IFVs parked in the wide-angle shots); it's just a platoon-sized element advancing over open terrain against a dug-in opponent with all of the above. The first attacking force gets completely wiped out, and then the second does exactly the same thing, although at least this time one team has the good sense to flank around from behind and almost manages to take it while the rest of their platoon gets mauled by artillery. Absolutely nuts. e: I noticed that most of the artillery fired by UKR isn't air bursting. Do we think they're using a mixture of newer and older systems? I don't know a lot about artillery. psydude fucked around with this message at 19:34 on Mar 26, 2023 |

There's another series of videos of another attack like that, where they don't even get close to this trench and mortars find their target in the treeline. Also a mix of airburst and impact. Really makes you wonder about the way lives are spent on a grand scale, if it's like that on an insignificant part of the front, in a place like this. How many people are they willing to get killed for a place that really mattered?

It looks like there can't be more than a handful of guys in that one trench and so many lives have been wasted. Unfortunately the only person that can really stop this doesn't care, as is often the case with despots.

The X-man cometh posted:What happened to their overwhelming artillery attacks from the Severetodonetsk offensive? All of the ammo was wiped out by Himars? Russia still has a significant artillery advantage, but Russian artillery strikes generally follow the Soviet method of massive artillery barrages with ground elements advancing across a moonscape afterwards. The Ukrainians also have this doctrine, but have been trained on/have adopted a more western approach of assigning Artillery assets to individual units when it's deemed appropriate. Judging from that video there's at least one, and possibly three artillery tubes assigned to provide support to that one fighting position. In addition, it's really difficult to task artillery to support your own people in an assault, since you're more likely to shred your own people. It's still a difficult ask to support defenders in a close assault, but at least they have cover. edit: Ah, gently caress, there's footage of canister shot being used from those Ukrainian t-72s.

It's like, imagine if you loaded a 125mm tank barrel with steel buck shot. It is literally the same thing, the canister flies apart once fired and shoots pellets in a cone in front of the tank.

orange juche posted:Nah when the tank goes through the treeline and lines up on the dismounts on the far side, It's such an incredibly incompetently executed attack. Even without the armour, trickle-feeding light infantry into an attack on a prepared defensive position. And then it turns out they can bring in an IFV and a tank, and the attackers have zero combat support: no artillery, no CAS, no ATGM even. Amateur hour.

If that wasn't canister shot, it did an excellent job of looking exactly like it. edit: some digging turns up no examples of canister shot, but there are some fused antipersonnel fragmentation. Is it possible to set that ammo for immediate detonation upon exiting the barrel? A.o.D. fucked around with this message at 03:34 on Mar 27, 2023 |

The tank had fired HE at infantry previously, so there's a visual comparison to be made. It's 4:54 in the video in this tweet: https://twitter.com/DefMon3/status/1640019731712299011 There's no overt gore, but if you know what's going on, this is very unpleasant to think about.

Pretty sure they just overshot with the main gun, or it bounced/failed to detonate. All the dudes died either to the AFV cannonfire blowing up in the trees like 10 feet away from their heads or possibly the coaxial machine gun on the tank.
