and now we confirmation they made it across with intact beachheads
You realize that Avdiivka is probably going to be lost?Looks like another "attrition trap" for the Russians where the Ukrainians will use this to blead them white with artillery, again...
A high casualty ratio and lots of destroyed Russian equipment is what they want, let them attack if they want to, or force them to and let artillery, FPV and other drones do the work from a distance. The drones are making up for a lot of shells and they can get them faster than the shells, so give them the funds or buy them the parts they specify. $4 or 500 bucks to destroy a tank or other equipment is not much money compared to military grade stuff, and dropping grenades on troops from DJI drones is cheap too.
Russia could suffer "significant losses" in bid to take Avdiivka plant: UK
The key tactical area in Ukraine's Donbas region is being sought by Russian forces in their latest offensive.www.newsweek.com
Elon is in way over his head, people are dying like flies in Ukraine and Israel and because Elon is so rich and making so many enemies, some of them might perceive him as a threat to their nation or cause... Friends come and go, enemies accumulate. Uncle Sam has been known to basically take over outfits like spaceX in the interests of national security, arranging their "sale" to reliable partners. If he makes an enemy of Israel, then the republicans in congress will turn on him. It's the same for Russia, if Israel perceives them as a threat or enemy, they will use their influence in America to support Ukraine.Waaa....
At an enormous cost to the Russians, the chemical plant is a tough nut even for the glide bombs. However, with airpower fixed defensive positions don't work too well. It is a place the Russians will pay dearly for and that is the idea, war is Hell.You realize that Avdiivka is probably going to be lost?
Basically, they have enough infantry and drone operators to cover the place, but artillery does most of the work when the Russians advance. The Ukrainians have stripped away their artillery support in many cases and they are attacking and dying. They will trade ground for advantage as they always have, even counter attacking, but only when it makes sense, unlike the Russians. With those glide bombs in play, they don't want to mass troops in defensive positions, they don't need to with artillery support and on the defensive with automatic weapons and drones for longer range work.You realize that Avdiivka is probably going to be lost?
How do you know what the Russians are thinking? The cost will be dear but the win will be worth 10-20k lost come election time (in March). It is not like Russia is telling it citizens how many are being killed and wounded.Basically, they have enough infantry and drone operators to cover the place, but artillery does most of the work when the Russians advance.

I dunno what the Russians are thinking, only what they did in the past and are doing now, dying in large numbers, it's another Bakhmut for the Russians. The Russian elections are a farce anyway and if that is the political motivation for the Russian stupidity, that is fine with the Ukrainians. It's not so much about territory yet, as it is about destroying Russian military power while preserving as much of your own as possible. Once they reach a point they can begin offensive operations again, when they accumulate supplies. Right now, it is a pretty dynamic situation with dozens of combat engagements over the entire front, including south of Kherson now, and that would be a major threat to the Russians in all of southern Ukraine.How do you know what the Russians are thinking?
