Russian special military operation in Ukraine #53

Firebird wrote: I say this with caution, but the forum's sane sections seem to be quietly optimistic with the direction of the operation right now. I think th next 6months should see significant progress if not the actual collapse of the Bandera regime. Sadly fighting the war in the Donbass means this is actually the hardest area to liberate in some ways. Hence my suspicion the Bandera regime should have been suffocated far further West, far earlier, with far more troops. Instead of incursions to Kharkov and Kiev with small troop numbers and a "nicely nicely" approach. But anyway, the collapse of Bandera fortifications SHOULD make the job much easier over coming weeks and months.

This is excellent time for Ukraine to implement widespread conscription and flood the frontline with bodies

Things are looking good on CNN do hopefully it happens sooner rather than later

Widespread conscription....... They already have, and the last wave consisted of amputees, people with mental health issues, people with learning disabilities, 14-15yrs old boys, old men over 70yrs old, and women, what would the next wave consist of????????? Wildlife?(animals)Or hiring a necromancer to raise the dead it's about only options they got left :

It will depend on the tactics they employ to capture the big cities, it took three months with more forces focused for Russia to take Avi, and by respects that is a smaller sized city. How much would seizing krakrov etc take?.

If the Russians keep at this pace I don't see a collapse anytime soon let alone six months, maybe in 2-3 years. People here have been saying oh Ukraine will collapse in months for over a year now

 it took three months with more forces focused for Russia to take Avi

Because the city and her surroundings were prepared in the last 8+ years for their role as "fortress".
Didn´t work so well.
There is nothing of that kind in any big city, not even Kijüf.
But there are a lot of roads leading into those big cities that a "defender" has to look at.
At lot of roads an assault force can use to bypass those units and attack them from behind.

Here is why Nato weapons have failed so much.



tl;dw: Their military industry is profit driven, not purpose driven.
