The New Whats Wrong with the Russian Army

[DG23]

The battle for Sievierodonetsk, which lies on the eastern side of the Siverskyi Donets River, has become the focus of attention as Russia ekes out slow but solid gains in the Donbas, comprising of the Luhansk and Donetsk regions.

Russia’s fixation on Sievierodonetsk had drawn resources from other battlefronts and as result they had made little progress elsewhere, according to the Washington-based Institute for the Study of War.

We should print more money to help them out...

But in the end they will still lose the Donbass, and Crimea. No way they are getting any of that back.

Early on I would definitely have agreed with you. If I had to bet I would still guess you are right. But after seeing the performance of the Russian military over the past few months I am no longer as confident.

For anyone interested, Perun did a pretty decent video showing just how corruption can rot a military organization. Nothing earth-shattering in it, but a decent analysis.

Anything Russia does at this point is not success. By almost all estimations, this should’ve been over weeks to months ago so there is nothing Russia can do that they should be proud of. Similarity, POS supporters of Russia in this war should never be talking shit because of how pathetic it is.

So Russia masses forces, launches massive artillery barrages, attacks with 7:1 advantage and makes small gains and this counts as success? Meanwhile sucking in troops from other regions opens them up to Ukrainian counter offensives in Kharkov and now Kerson.

If there had been anything worth commenting on lately, I would have. I could also share the articles talking about Ukrainian success in the south, but we've likely all seen those as well, so, what's the point? If you would like me to comment on either, here it is: Let's not blow taking small bits of territory with the majority of a nation's combat power out of proportion. We're seeing WWI level of territorial gains with modern weapons and resources. The entire war has bogged down, and while both sides certainly are capable of taking territory, how much territory they can take seems to be very limited, and the casualties they take are ridiculously high in the process.

Once more, however, the glee that you show when talking about a dictatorial regime attacking an independent country is sickening.

A Washington state Guardsman received a phone call from a Ukrainian who has an issue with the Javelin. Guardsman talked him through it. 30 minutes later, Guardsman gets a call from the Ukrainian who just blew up a Russia vehicle.

This Guardsman and Ukrainian befriended each other during a relatively recent Washington deployment to the country before the war.

Yes, sounds like a true story.

Next up - Ukrainian dials a call center in India, they launch a ballistic missile on his behalf and in 15 minutes completely stop a Russian offensive and destroy a statue of a communist leader in some unknown and abandoned Ukrainian coalmine town.
