“The victorious Ukrainians are advancing relentlessly on Odessa, while the whipped and beaten RuZZians are retreating in terror west to Nikolaev.”
*****************************************************
Well, it’s too early to say for sure how this counteroffensive will turn out… it’s the first day and the Ukrainians are saying it’s currently conducting “shaping” operations. Maybe but it’s clear already that the Ukrainians conduct offensive operations very differently from the way the Russians have conducted theirs. The Russians relentlessly pound their objectives with artillery until the defenders are weak and demoralized and only then attack on the ground. That way there is minimum loss of Russian lives and limbs but a huge loss of Ukrainian defenders. The Ukrainians apparently are conducting their ground assault after only minimum artillery softening up. The result is that the Ukrainian grunts suffer huge, UNNECESSARY losses and apparently the Ukrainian leadership is OK with that. The Ukrainian “leadership” needs to remember that loyalty is a two-way street. The grunts will remember their treatment.
Offensive ops always carry the risk of huge loses.
The Germans held off huge forces with numbers way out of wack during WW2. Am still amazed they did not collapse completely way sooner.
The Ukrainians can not afford to loose men and equipment now.
The ratio according to the Austrian military academy is about 60 battalions for the UKE to about 110 plus for the RUS. The UKE are losing more and more while the RUS are building up.
Come to think of it, the giant Cossack reminds me of the mad monk, Rasputin.
Sure, buddy. The card carrying KGB, born and bred USSR guy isn’t a commie and I am. Whatever. What I do know is KGB Vlad doesn’t want Americans to have those good energy jobs, too. Birds of a feather...

No, that’s just Plan C. The Russians do because that’s all their corrupt and incompetent army is capable of. They do that after Plan A: Shock and awe and Plan B: wide encirclement failed.

Ukraine has NATO equipment in reserve. 500 HIMARS systems, etc. 10,000+ troops trained in NATO countries. Does Russia? The long game always favors the home team. Putin has done all he can and will try to consolidate what he has stolen.
De Nile is the river just west of De Dnepr River.
Next stop for the victorious Ukrainian cannon fodder after they drive the beaten RuZZians through Bakhmut and Kramatorsk towards Dnepropetrovsk.
The dirty RuZZians LoJacked the LOMARS.
The US military in 2021 announced it would look forward to getting more MIMARS to bring the total to 500. THAT IS THE US MILITARY!!!!
Now they simply make it up as they go.
The UKE has about 20. End of story.
And half of those got blowed up REEEALL GOOD by the dirty RuZZians...
Oh BTW..ten thousand troops are about ten battalions. Not all are front line troops although they might need all of them for front line duty.
Is this what they call a cluster fuck by the UKE?
I'll check in with Alex and Alexander presently.
Into the guns for Saint Zel's Miami condo, dear Ukie brothers!!
Hey.
How big are the finlander wood piles this year?
This one sounds like a land-war version of something like the Marianas Turkey Shoot, hohos apparently just tried to charge across open pastures like the charge of the darkness brigade and got slaughtered.
After the Special Military Operation is concluded, the surviving Ukie cannon fodder are gonna want pieces of The Piano Playa.
Reconstitution and training new forces is virtually impossible for UKR right now. Hopefully, that’s obvious to everyone. They should have gone strictly guerilla months ago. Afghans have taught this lesson multiple times.
I just hope all of this business comes to a final end a week or two prior to the november elections.
Funny thing that. What is it? All males from 17 to 60 are required to report for duty?
And on the MSN media videos spots, there are valid age males walking all over the place.
