Cedric Leighton: Moscow army has 'basically failed' in Ukraine | Their organisation and their ability to carry out their operations SUCK!
During the Second World War the Ukrainian army and fighters fought ferociously,nothing much has changed except Putin had forgotten this minor fact
I very much doubt that Russian units, the way they are currently fighting, have casualty rates of more than 10%. Russia is regularly rotating units in and out to give them some rest and to let them replenish. It is a classic Russian artillery war now and infantry only comes in when the Ukrainians are already defeated.A very long established contact forwarded this message from a former senior US military official:
Just in from an Army Colonel in the building:
“Spoke to someone today who said that the Ukie basic training is 10 days and then off to the front. 65% casualty rates. At least double or more the losses of the Russians but you don’t hear anything about it.”
Russian doctrine doesn't call for units to be pulled from combat until they have taken losses so serious they are combat ineffective. That's usually considered to be sixty percent losses or more. Then units are broken up and reconstituted into new units.Lol. You’ll believe anything if it fits your narrative.
The truth is the Ukies are in big trouble. Expect the porn star Z to runoff to a Caribbean island soon, with his millions of dollars stolen from American taxpayers.
The Ukrainian army has moved seven brigades of its Territorial Defense Forces from the west into the area east of the Dnieper. If these were fully maned each will have had some 3,000 soldiers. That are a lot of troops but they are pure infantry without heavy weapons and with extremely little training. Col. Reisner also showed a collection of 15 videos in which members of such and other units describe hopeless situations, declare a retreat or call out their commanders for neglect.
Morale is so bad because those troops do not fare well.

As this permanent grinding continues the Ukrainians will soon reach a breaking point.

Russian doctrine is not to rotate a unit out of combat until it suffered enough casualties to become combat ineffective. I believe by Russian standards that’s sixty percent losses. Then they consolidate the remains of the units into combined units, replace destroyed equipment and re-commit the unit. Based upon that, the Russians are taking horrendous casualties.Lol. You’ll believe anything if it fits your narrative.

I don’t know about that, but have no reason to doubt it. However one needs also analyze the losses incurred by their opponent, to understand what is occurring.Russian doctrine is not to rotate a unit out of combat until it suffered enough casualties to become combat ineffective. I believe by Russian standards that’s sixty percent losses. Then they consolidate the remains of the units into combined units, replace destroyed equipment and re-commit the unit. Based upon that, the Russians are taking horrendous casualties.
It's not a 'war' in Ukraine, it's a 'special operation'. And for peacetime special operations the Russians usually use approximately 3 months' secondments. So yes, they must have been rotating since May, 24.Russian doctrine is not to rotate a unit out of combat until it suffered enough casualties to become combat ineffective.

They are. And the longer it keeps up, the less Russia will be able to bother NATO nations later on.Based upon that, the Russians are taking horrendous casualties.
Yeah sure the Russians are taking horrendous casualties, and Putin has cancer and gone insane.They are. And the longer it keeps up, the less Russia will be able to bother NATO nations later on.
