interesting thread, one could argue there's a bit of cope in here but it's a compelling argument nonetheless that basically everything is unfolding in Russia's favor https://twitter.com/gslavic/status/1668355091798056978

It's hard to argue that complete destruction of Ukraine is to the benefit of Russia.

Leave it to the Poles not to realize the obvious consequences of opening that can of worms. drake no : renaming east germany to "central germany" drake yes : restarting the German Democratic Republic and extending it westward to the Rhine

Ramrod Hotshot posted:interesting thread, one could argue there's a bit of cope in here but it's a compelling argument nonetheless that basically everything is unfolding in Russia's favor Yeah, it doesn’t seem that unreasonable in general. The question is both the number of Ukrainian casualties, and also how deep are their reserves and equipment. It seems most of the “main force” is engaged at this point considering the battles occurring, the question is if Ukraine had another large reserve to push forward after it (open question). I would say raw light infantry would be even more vulnerable here than Bakhmut and it is unclear what they would accomplish beyond trying to hold some already taken toward positions.

this wouldn't really be the first time that the Russians had to learn how to fight the war they've found themselves in after taking it on the chin in losses first the trick is that Russia is actually large enough to be able to afford to fail more than once

Seeing talk about Ukraine doing probing attacks. Is that even needed for the most part anymore now that drones and satellites have removed the fog of war. I assume Ukraine already started by attacking a weak spot and are getting destroyed anyways.

gradenko_2000 posted:this wouldn't really be the first time that the Russians had to learn how to fight the war they've found themselves in after taking it on the chin in losses first The Kremlin doesn’t like to second guess itself until it has to. The initial invasion was a nonsensical plan and I think everyone across the board knows it. It also gave the US a critical amount of overconfidence that has lead to the current situation. The US has the means to rein in Kiev anytime they want, and DC really thought the Russians were just some primitive in rolling trash cans essentially. That said, the only path really forward is for Russia to sit on Ukraine as it has been until it’s frontline starts fracturing and can’t sustain the type of defense that Russia has been doing. Otherwise, it becomes just an engineering question. Mine fields and dragon teeth can be formidable barriers…if you have enough men to make use of them.

What is Ukrainian air support like right now? Even in a best case scenario it seems insane to think the AFU could break through entrenched defenses (the ones they haven't even reached yet) without substantial air support softening up those positions. Do they have anything? I know the promised F-16s are a long way off

Raccooon posted:Seeing talk about Ukraine doing probing attacks. Is that even needed for the most part anymore now that drones and satellites have removed the fog of war. Yes. No they haven't. lol There's way more than I on the subject, but I'll just say Artillery Reconnaissance / Survey alone requires specialized training, its own detachments, and hours of planning before the patrols even go out. That's not the forward observers or STA/GSR either, that's just the reconnaissance element of the artillery battery, to make sure the siting of the gun positions and BHQ is done correctly, perform route reconnaissance, screen the battery while moving between positions, and place the flags, lights, tape and other markings along the way and at the gun position. That's without getting into other arms like the hussars and infantry patrolmen, light armoured recce, detached recce companies, various HSLD shops etc. etc.

Is Ukraine really attacking under heavy artillery fire with zero capability to hit the Russian artillery? That seems insane.

That's what I'm a bit taken aback by the whole thing. It would require them to deliver so much shock through mass alone, and I guess direct fire from tank guns, to make up for it, but the human cost would be staggering.

i'm just a dumb civvie but it always seem remarkable both what satellites can see (remember those satellite images of Iran, i think, Trump presented that looks like someone had photographed them from a low flying helicopter) and what they still can't. They're amazingly omniscient until they're not. I guess atmospherics plays a major part?Raccooon posted:Is Ukraine really attacking under heavy artillery fire with zero capability to hit the Russian artillery? That seems insane. unless they're out of ammo they still have a few toys like himars which should be able to hit Russian guns, but they don't have many so it probably doesn't make a difference.

Raskolnikov38 posted:man if only they had started the war by doing this instead of leeroy jenkins'ing into kiev I have always maintained that a smarter leadership interested in the safety of its people would have surrendered, and I don’t think the Russians ever intended to attack Kiev- the crux of the “feint” was wrongly assuming the Ukrainian leadership would have done the reasonable thing to prevent a needless and bloody conflict. Basically it was both smart to pretend to attack and to not actually attack; Z and co. being crazy doesn’t make it a dumb strategy!

Raccooon posted:Is Ukraine really attacking under heavy artillery fire with zero capability to hit the Russian artillery? That seems insane. They do have some HIMARS launchers and AtG, but it isn’t really comparable in terms of mass. It seems to be an offensive built on faith. There was talk earlier about how much the Siegfried line was a joke etc etc, the whole reason Market Garden happened was to try to get around it. It later stood up to allied assaults through the fall to the battle of the Bulge and it took Operation Veritable to push forward though the top portion of the line on the Dutch border (which generally was the weakest part) and that was late February/early March 1945. Static defenses can be miserable to get through, the aim is to force the enemy to go on and do it. Ardennes has issued a correction as of 18:41 on Jun 13, 2023 |

It's starting to look like the reddit plan to attack through Belgorod, drive south on the Russian highways and swoop down on the rear of the Russian forces in the Donbass and Zaporizhia was more realistic than what Ukraine came up with
