They have enough Javs and NLAWs to waste every tank in use and storage twice over. I am guessing plenty of them are overkilling APCs and other non tank vehicles.

However in a combined attack, everyone one that is taken out means a better tank lives longer. Also minefields like the old trick of marching penal battalions over minefields but more tanky.
I think they ran out of prisoner cannon fodder.
The winter offensive is complete and the goal of almost taking Bakhmut gloriously close to declare victory.

Lets hope Putin's general continues his winning ways and doesn't get too close to a window.

How Ukraine is still unable to defeat this chaotic and pathetic Russian war effort, is beyond me, Why wont the west supply them with enough equipment to secure a resounding victory as soon as possible? Or call for an end to the war ASAP? One of the two instead of this destruction on an everyday basis.

Ukraine updates: Wagner boss says Russian army fled Bakhmut

Yevgeny Prigozhin, head of the Wagner mercenary group that leads the ongoing assault on Bakhmut, on Tuesday accused the Russian army of fleeing its positions around the city.

"Today one of the units of the Defense Ministry fled from one of our flanks ... exposing the front," said Prigozhin.

Nice to see you quoting MGen(Retd) Ryan. I read a few of his white papers when I was in. I'm sure the folks on an escort review forum have their own expertise, but Gen. Ryan is a bonefide expert who has literally written the book on the topic. Unlike our friend Stolen Valour, Gen. Ryan actually did go to Staff College (and in fact went to the one Stolen Valour would have gone to if his CV was real). I cannot recommend his book "War Transformed" enough to anyone that's got even a passing interest in military and strategic studies.

But and with all due respect, 'kreal' swears by the shiny, highly polished, MoskyWood propaganda productions, placed for a price and now playing on the HT website.

Penal battalions are still cheaper, komrad.
Sure but soylent green isn't much good for setting off anti tank mines. Unless they start recruiting at an American Wal-mart.

Ah though wouldn't that be a site to see, a bunch of 400 and 500 pound fat guys waddling across a field with tuba players behind them.


Such a site would warm my heart, if it was not clogged up with decades worth of cholesterol.

I believe Komrad Beria once suggested exactly that to Komrad Leader Stalin in 1942. But of course, Komrad Leader Stalin was by far the cleverest as always and he said:

"But where in Soviet Union exist such 400 and 500 lb men, except in Party Leadership?!.... And then are such men too valuable to explode mines.... Unless of course I am very bored and want to watch very bad (but very funny) show!" And both Komrads had good laugh and then Komrad Leader Stalin punch Komrad Beria hard in belly for joke and laugh even more.

I am surprised it hasn't happened a while ago.

They blew up a buddy of his at a bar a few months back, which may - or may not - have been a "gentle reminder" to watch his P's and Q's. Maybe he figures his catering skills will keep The Poo on his side. 🇷🇺

At least Beria didn't take a swan dive out the window of a high story building. I guess that technology only came in Poutine times.

Going to the Sea of Azov cutting off Crimea [via bridge and port attacks] would be a wonderful thing.

However an attack at Bachmut and that Adekva or however you spell it would be a nice short training run for those new assault brigades. Make a wide encirclement, don't go through Bachmut but around it and starve them out cutting off elite unites hopefully. Total embarrassment if they pull it off, and they wouldn't have to do a 75 mile drive if they went south.

The later on when more western gear shows up and they get more used to it and iron out the winkles, time to drive south around Sept.

Much like the Spanish Inquisition, nobody would expect it... well maybe a bit.

Seems just some nibbling at the southern flank right now. They have also begun crossing the Dnipro in the marshy land near Kherson.

If I were to guess, I'd say that they are part of a series of probes designed to cause Russia to shuffle reinforcements and either identify a weakness or to catch forces mid-move.
That's silly. Attacking across the Dnipper will just cause complications. The front line is sufficiently extended and the Russian defenders sufficiently depleted that they can pick a better spot.
