[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just to add:

- Ukraine now plausibly claims a standing army of 700,000 in-country.

Russia’s military is spread thin, over the entire RF, Syria, Kazakstan, Armenia, all borders with NATO, etc.[/quote]

And it can equally plausibly be claimed that up to 70,000 of those 700,000 died in just the last 72 hours.

Ukrainian forces are being slaughtered from 60 miles away by rocket barrages that spill cluster munitions over 20 acre parcels at a time. Russia has finally figured out how to fight a war (after 3 months of getting it’s ass handed to it) and has now abandoned the use of armor at the leading edge of battle and is now instead sanitizing the front one barrage at a time.

Launch rockets at enemy positions, kill or wound everything within every square meter (look up how cluster munitions work if you doubt this) then move forces in. Kill the wounded, rinse, repeat.

This is how Russia will be fighting this war from here on, and they’ll win by end of summer. Bookmark this post. [/quote]

What you describe is not happening and you really have no understanding of how this war is fought. The Ukrainians are in dug positions. You need a direct hit with very large munitions to destroy just one position. Cluster munitions does nothing to a dug in position. Massed heavy artillery is ineffective against these positions because the Ukrainians defense are iin-depth. It is the Russians who are suffering huge loses.

The Russians are unable to maintain the supplies they need for this operation, they have not abandon armor because the Ukrainians would easily destroy non armored forces, the Russians have to attack the Ukrainians who are in defense, etc. The Russians losses are so great their units are not combat effective. Estimates of Russian casualties are around 100k with 3 times that wounded. Russia is preparing to draft more men. It’s a quagmire with no end. [/quote]
