What really pisses me off is that that bridges on Dnepr are still standing. Just today, according to Rybar, at Lozovaya another 7 SPG was delivered from the west. Granted ,maybe they didn't come from the west of Dnepr, but isolating everything east of Dnepr will speed up demise of Ukr army in Donbas. Diesel and ammunition will become very scarce. It is a no brainer. I really have a problem understanding logic behind some of the decisions.
The problem is that if you drop all the bridges and roads etc then Kiev will start whining about Holomodor II... Russians trying to starve Ukrainians again...
If the bridges were militarily significant, if effective and powerful weapons were moving forward in bulk then of course they would drop them or at least damage them... but the fact of the matter is that without Leopard Is and M113s a lot of the Orc forces are going to stay in their bunkers... send them these vehicles and load them up with Orc meat and drive towards the enemy... they will be trivial to destroy and max range... the Orcs wont even see what hit them and all the supporting troops moving forward with the armour will be taken out by air power and artillery... the result is getting Orcs killed faster and showing western support for what it is... just accelerating the deaths of Ukrainians.
Aside from local counterattacks Ukrainians are not changing tactics and most of their forces are on defense or use hit and run and ambush tactics.
They don't show any willingness to go on offensive and talks about one are mostly used in propaganda purposes. Your wishful thinking of them attacking amd getting destroyed is just that. I'm thinling that US is planning their operations and that they are showed more than willing to protract this conflict as long as possible and make Russians bleed.
Russians dexision makers succumbing to new Holodomor bs used for propaganda purposes, would be another victory for Ukraine in psychological warfare.
Your claim that bridges are maybe not militarily significant in a country that's crossed by major river with multiple dams, i will not comment.
Almost always ,in war, military is not only one that makes decisions. And many times military and politicians views clash. I believe this is one case of that. Instead of isolating to a largest possible degree Donbas and East Ukrainian groupings and destroying them easier, you allow them to replenish and bring fresh troops while increasing death toll and losses of your soldiers is a "3D chess", i don't want to even try to understand or justify.
Dancing around and playing "high moral ground" shtick has produced some really bad results in Ukraine so far.
The "high moral ground" is an excuse for the so-called "Russians" who are either partially or fully of ethnic Ukrainian origin, protecting their really own people.
Too bad that those whining ethnic Ukrainians do not care about such considerations with regard to other ethnicities/nationalities:

Putin himself is responsible for many of the bad decisions.
He has been a Ukrainophile until recently, perhaps he still is?
How come the major grouping of the Ukrainian forces west of the Donbas has not been carpet bombed?

They need to be hit ASAP plus beskid tunnels, the bridge in odessa which was previously hit, got struck again, this time it is destroyed.
A few tor m2 and some panstir s2, with s300/s400 should be set up there. Area denial.

Interesting that they are still using their TB-2 out at sea. Must have been important with 3 out at Snake Island.
Still got shot down. Functioning as suicide drones![]()

Do you mind telling me what are those best units? As fas as I'm aware, in Donbas we currently have 81st,93rd,25 th, 54th,79th, 24th brigades. I'm not sure where 95th from Zhytomir is, but those are some of the best units with extensive battlefield experience since 2014. Also, most of the neonazi units like Aidar, Donbas and Azov are there.kvs wrote:Hole wrote:caveat emptor wrote:I believe that destruction of forces in East Ukraine would be a final blow. It would completely destroy the morale of the remaining troops and reservists. Most of the troops in the East are best trained, with most experience. Almost all nationalist battalions are in Donbas and around Kharkov.
As long as the regime is getting paid they will try to fight. For show, at least. But the quality of the troops is getting lower and lower, which means the Russian Forces will achieve their goals easier and with less casualties while the casualties on the side of the Wehrmacht will skyrocket.
I think NATzO and its Kiev stooges are planning to organize a NATzO supported army in western Ukraine. I was initially
convinced that the LNDR cauldron would be the last stand but I now agree more with Mercouris and his South Vietnam
comparison. This goes together with the analysis that the Kiev regime is not using its best forces in the east.
So there is no clear progression to more poorly trained Ukr soldiers. Other analysts think that Poland will intervene.
This would be consistent.

Below for illustration where the North bank of the Seversky Donetk is (blue line). Russia want's to control the whole area towards the Seversy Donets. Ukrainian forces blew up a bridge towards Slavyansk from Liman, they can't be resupplied and the forces will be stuck.

You better get on to the Russian military right away and tell them what to do, they obviously haven't read the NYT about only 200 sorties per day, and don't know about the bridge and tunnel.limb wrote:Why didn't the Russian generals order the destruction of all large rail bridges on the dnepr? Apparently there are many functioning ones and the Ukrainians are still bringing reinforcements from the west through them. What would happen if Russia tried to destroy the rail tunnels in Transcarpathia ?
Also what's the reason that the Russian air force is only launching 200 sorties per day?
How do Ukrainian saboteurs pass through the Russian border too?
Look at this pristine Ukrainian tunnel that is the transit point for western weapons for 3 months now. The Russian generals are very merciful and don't seem to care.
