Beau of the Fifth Column talks about assessments that Ukraine may not have the muscle to shove Russia out, at least not during this year. Him and I hope those assessments are wrong. Arm Ukraine for a quicker end to war. Russian death state go gently caress yourself.

They won’t push them out of the Donbas and Crimea, but it’s enough if they push south to Melitopol or south from Kherson. Anything that cuts the supply line and moves artillery closer to Kerch.

It's probably not too different from destroying ISIS in northern and western Iraq. It's not some 2 week operation or something and there's still probably a long ways to go to shove out the invaders because that's just how the logistics of war are.

The liberation of Donbass is for when Ukraine gains fighter jets and air superiority, as well as further aid to bulk out their army more after a successful counteroffensive.

A very long way, likely more than another year. Hence the value of the Czech announcement to Ukraine, "As long as it takes, we're with you until they are all gone." And the majority of Western equipment given to Ukraine? Likely gone in a year, casualties needing to be replaced. A year hence and the Western political and financial fatigue of the war will need to be carefully managed.

I don't think Ukraine is ever going to have air superiority, no matter how many fighter jets they are given. Look how poorly Russia's overwhelming number of fighters has translated to air superiority so far.

Remember how well Ukraine preserved even its own soviet era kit. Worst case scenario would be 1/4 - 1/3 lost, most likely still less, probably on the order of 1/5th, by the second anniversary of the war, IMO e: Solovyov screaming about muh nooks again.

Well I mean, Terrorist Strelkov basically said that without China's or anyone else's help, equipment wise they'd be boned by the second anniversary of the war and helpless to do anything against Ukraine by then.

There's a new video of a Lancet taking out a Stormer HMV. There's been a couple before but there's they've had the suspicious cut-away at impact, but this one definitely shows a catastrophic exposition. Drones/loitering munitions are definitely changing the game when an anti-aircraft platform can't defend itself 24/7.

They dumped a bunch at once, of hitting an Avenger, a Stormer and an M109 Lancets definitely seem like one of the most effective Russian weapons, certainly cost-effective. From what I understand the American Switchblades are overcomplicated and underpowered (the 300s) in comparison

I don’t know of any evidence of one of those in use, the big ones. A year ago they were only prototypes, and they’ve got to be expensive as hell. The Ukrainian FPV drones with RPGs strapped to them fill a similar niche but require a very skilled pilot fairly close to the frontlines, and don’t have much of a loiter. Like I think it’s okay to acknowledge one of the narrow areas where Russia has overmatch edit: loving lmao, please don’t be mean to the mercenary PMC full of literal criminals and murderers owned by a monster. gently caress Wagner Victis fucked around with this message at 01:56 on May 8, 2023 |

I just wanted to make clear that Switchblade 300 and Lancet aren't intended to do quite the same thing, so it's not a surprise that there's an overmatch where they go head to head. I agree we should acknowledge where Russia has overmatch

Him and I hope those assessments are wrong. Arm Ukraine for a quicker end to war. Russian death state go gently caress yourself. I think those assessments are wrong. For the amount of weaponry we've sent to Ukraine they've been relatively quiet for months now. Those leaks did say that Ukraine was having trouble in terms of strength but also that the US talked them out of striking at Russian territory directly. That means they have had that capability and we advised them on a different course of action which hasn't been revealed yet. They have had people training on foreign weapon systems in weeks long programs while receiving billions in heavy equipment, supplies and ammunition from pretty much everyone directly to their capital by air and rail. Outside of Russia demanding to keep attacking Bakhmut causing a bloody defense there it's not like Ukraine has had huge visible losses or failed attempts at doing much of anything the past few months. My guess would be the military advisors from the US are helping to coordinate something Russia can't cope with. Working on that leaked "lack of strength" during weeks of depot-by-depot HIMARs attacks where every day some kind of fuel or ammo infrastructure of Russia's is being destroyed remotely. the popes toes posted:A very long way, likely more than another year.

Likely gone in a year, casualties needing to be replaced. A year hence and the Western political and financial fatigue of the war will need to be carefully managed. I'm not sure it will be that long if there is a real counteroffensive that's been building up for months. If Russia starts retreating it's not like they have elaborate reinforcements or supply lines of equipment. The stuff they are managing to stage is getting blown up constantly. I'd say the Russia lines are extremely thin and in the context of an organized/strong counter attack you'd see just as quick and massive losses as there were gains at the start as they flee to the nearest pile of bullets and people which might be 10-20km away.

What we've heard is that Ukraine has 9 brigades organized along NATO lines. Some of them have NATO AFVs. Those are the core of the UAF's mobile reserve and are going to suffer terrible losses in an offensive, especially if they advance beyond the GBAD umbrella. Ukraine has a lot of Western equipment in the replenishment pipeline, so they can afford to take losses in an offensive. Nine brigades. That's basically two corps or one army. In WW2 the same ground was fought over by army groups. Ukraine can smash the gently caress out of front-line positions with a maximal effort by PGMs and drone operators, but exploitation behind the lines is going to be costly even in the good scenarios. I think they can reach the Black Sea with an offensive in Zaporizhya, but it'll be costly and extend the lines they have to defend when it comes time to hold their gains. They do have to do something to ensure support for a long war. Perun says it best, so ignore me and go watch his video from today.
