This tales and numbers are interesting, but there is 'but'. One big 'But'.
I have been hearing about similar numbers since the May of the last (!) year. When according to Russian milbloggers, the Russian command switched to the tactic of eliminating the UAF's manpower.
But. If these figures were true, then where is positive dynamics for the Russian army on the battlefield? And I don't mean tactical advances here and there, that happens for the both sides, btw. I mean a deep breakthrough on at least one section of the frontline.
In the course of these 18 months, Russia mobilized 300 000 of reservists, created or enlarged a number of PMCs recruiting inmates (it is estimated that the Wagner alone had 50 000 of people at its peak), signed almost 400 000 of contracts with 'volunteers' to be enlisted in the army. And where these tons of people, why haven't they caused the UAF to literally run?
Yeah, one might offer an explanation based on Ukraine's forced 'mobilization'. But with such disparity in the losses, even an additional million of severely undertrained and underequipped 'draftees' wouldn't have made any difference.
What on earth do you read ? And Why ?
Why would you bother about advancing one inch if you could kill at least 10 UAF for each man you lose?
Let alone ordnance where an even worse ratio exists ?
That has been clear Russian strategy , and even a year after its inception the insane Midget creates huge holes in his front line to shore up losing positions --- Bakhmut and Ardviika being the clearest examples .
It is almost beyond belief that this mad man found this crazy strategy in the first place but he has continued with it against all advice until he has now run out of men , guns and ammunition .
This why every expert has said time and time again that there is absolutely no way Russia could fail as long as the Lunatic forced those ideas on his military .
The war became simply a matter of letting numbers rule . And they have .
Even more amazing is that Moscow called up 300 000 reservists but has essentially not used them .
For what ?
Now Russia has started to go on the offensive and , in simple terms, because they are running out of pathetic untrained targets to obliterate by just sitting in their trenches and letting long range artillery cause mayhem. .
Whether they try to cross the Dneiper before Spring is another matter . There are arguments for and against . But you do know that Dear Uncle is calling on another major man power increase . So you know at some point he wil finish the SMO with all objectives achieved plus a likely few bonuses .
The US has run out of BS excuses . Himars and Patriot systems were soon dealt with and Bradleys turned out to be very vulnerable . I have serious reservations about F16s ever being seen because insiders know they would be dealt with very quickly .
The US is Fucked and now needs any strategy to slip away quietly and to minimise further humiliation .,
buddies left Ukraine already?
