Very sad if true. I firmly believe this war could have been won long ago if the west and particularly the US was not so afraid of the Russians. Forcing Ukrainians to fight with one hand only while wetting one owns panties is not the right way.

Tango01 Supporting Member of TMP06 Aug 2024 5:18 p.m. PST

Agree… add some important betrayals that have recently been exposed by high-ranking officials and government functionaries… I consider it a miracle that the troops can stay on the front line against an enemy that outnumbers them 12 to 1 or more… they will go down in history as the bravest warriors at the level of the Spartans.

I agree, if the USA's top leaders were not risk adverse and feared escalation. And would have given the Ukraine all they needed. Things would be very different there …

The USA's enemies know of their predilections. And using it against it.


Looks like the Russians is losing ground along with bodies, etc. …

The Ukranian Forces are on the offensive. Even pushing into Russian territory. Again, they seemed to have beat the marginal Russian units in many cases. Just think how well things would have been if the US provided all the Ukrainian Forces needed a couple of years ago. They have attrited the Russians significantly as it is.

More blood on a few hands …

Ukraine's Incursion Into Kursk – Tactical Genius?

link


Armand

Personal logo Legion 4 Supporting Member of TMP20 Aug 2024 4:40 p.m. PST

Well it does not take much to "out genius" the Russians. However, this Ukrainian Offensive surely surprised the Russians. And demonstrated they have a pretty good working knowledge of how to fight modern combined arms maneuver warfare. The Russians have seemed to have "mastered" WWI tactics.

Tango01 Supporting Member of TMP20 Aug 2024 4:52 p.m. PST

Imho… The Russians in WW2 showed no creativity or science in their military tactics… resisting to the death like the Japanese and on the offensive sending tons of material and a cost of blood that never mattered to any General or Stalin… no tactics or strategy… just brute force…

Tango +1

The Russians overall are considered marginal at best with this invasion. Their losses of men and equipment is very high. Costing them many dead and wounded troops. And destroyed AFVs, etc.

They (under)perform like some forces in Africa or the Mid East … Not impressive at all.

williamb24 Aug 2024 6:00 a.m. PST

Tango, I am not a fan of Russia, but your post on WW2 Russian military tactics is incorrect and probably based on WW2 and post WW2 German misinformation. I would recommend reading Frank Chadwick's book, "Red Steel" which covers WW2 Russian mechanized formations. One section in the book mentions a Russian offensive that covered the same distance in less time than the Germans made when they invaded Russia. Also, covered in the book is Russia's development of operational tactics. Stalin's purge of the military halted that. The book is available from the Test of Battle Games web site.

Saying that … the Russian military is not competent to fight modern combined arms warfare. Based on everything they have demonstrated since they invade Ukraine …

Tango01 Supporting Member of TMP24 Aug 2024 5:08 p.m. PST

Let's agree that both Stalin and Putin are not/were not classified as military geniuses… not even as mediocre… their interventions only increased the carnage of their own troops… needless to say that both of them, and by tradition… seem to take pleasure in sending Russian soldiers to the meat grinder… not to mention the "internal" carnage they commit with civilian citizens…


Regarding the military strategy or tactics used by Russia… imho… they don't impress me given the amount of human material they use for their purposes… much less in the current war against a much smaller country that was attacked by surprise and that two years later they failed to not only dominate… but their own territory was invaded since WW2 with shameful results in its defense…

Thanks for the book recommendation

The more Russian territory the Ukraine takes will give them a big bargaining chip. Could get the Russians to leave occupied Ukrainian lands.

Plus, the deeper the Ukrainian Forces push and take more of "Mother Russia", the more losses the Russians suffer … The Russian masses may want a change of leadership, etc. But I'll admit that probably won't happen.

Tango01 Supporting Member of TMP12 Sep 2024 5:22 p.m. PST

Won't happen because Putin doesn't give a damn about his own people …
