Shouldn’t you count the reservist BARS 13 & 16 as well as the 752nd Regiment of 3rd Mechanized Division? Or not?

I follow a bunch of Russian milbloggers and the minimum force in Lyman seems to be pegged at 2K-3K, and that's just Lyman. There was a significant attempt to reinforce the entire area east of the Oskil River from Svatov to Yampil, but AFU just keeps rolling. Of course trolls will try to play it off as no big deal, but Russian sources are doing no such thing. Some are even starting to question the capabilities of their Army:

The "legendary" 1st Panzer Army both began its flight from the Kharkov region and continued it, bringing down the front to the north-west of the Liman. And the power and strength of the "fire brigades" from other troops was not enough.

If we add to this the problems of interaction between formations and branches of the Armed Forces, then the picture is depressing.

It's time to admit that we entered the special military operation with a completely uncombat-ready (with the exception of individual formations) district. And start doing something to fix the situation.

Let's give a hint: throwing untrained mobilized people to plug holes at the front would be a radically wrong step. Other measures and other solutions are needed.

Lyman has served as a major logistics and transport hub for Russian forces and its operations in northern Donetsk, reported Reuters.

Securing the city is the biggest battlefield win for Ukraine since it forced Russian troops to withdraw from roughly the entire Kharkiv region in a major counter-offensive last month.

For a guy that claims generational family service in US armed forces gives you respect for the Russian military your comments make you seem more of a fanboy than someone who merely respects the abilities of an adversary.
