Russia does have more people though. Eventually Ukraine is gonna start running short of dudes that are physically capable of carrying a javelin around the woods
And the javelin is a thicc bitch to be lugging around
They do have more men to throw at the problem, but it appears many of them lack motivation to be more than additional deaths or POWs or at some point possible defectors in larger numbers.

As a defense contractor, I selfishly want this war to go a long time.
As a human being I hope it ends quickly.

Real life Black Mirror: Drone chases Russian soldier back to his camp, then spots for an artillery strike on the position. LINK

1) that dude is in damn good shape
2) where is the arty strike?
This one doesn’t seem real to me. And I know I get downvoted here a lot for being skeptical but I think I’ve been pretty fair with my assessments and haven’t called out fake videos before

Idk if it’s in the linked video (I’m phone posting so too lazy to check) but the one I saw cuts to an image from a different drone that shows the same defensive position with plumes of smoke rising from it
It was at the very end

The overhead of the aftermath is at 0:58. Shown briefly but matches the culverts where the Russians were, gravel road, electrical lines, fields. Crater in the road and nothing left of small Russian camp. The fields have the right growth for the time of year. It looks like the Russians may be putting in gravel roads, the gravel looks fresh and graded.

Key Takeaways
Russian forces claim to have successfully captured central Mariupol, but Ukrainian forces retain control of the port southwest of the city. Russian forces will likely complete the capture of Mariupol in the coming days.
Russian forces are setting conditions for a major offensive in eastern Ukraine in the coming days, but damaged units redeployed from northeastern Ukraine are unlikely to enable a successful Russian breakthrough.
Ukrainian forces repelled continuing Russian attacks from Izyum southeast toward Slovyansk and Barvinkove.
Russian and Belarusian forces are conducting “demonstrative actions” to fix Ukrainian forces around Kyiv in place. However, these units are highly unlikely to launch new offensive operations, and Ukrainian units around Kyiv can likely safely redeploy to eastern Ukraine.
Western sanctions are likely successfully disrupting Russia’s military-industrial base.

Russian efforts to generate replacement forces and produce new military equipment continue to face challenges. The Ukrainian General Staff reported on April 7 that the Russian military began recruiting conscripts who have been discharged from military service since 2012 and is summoning them for a special three-month training period before deployment to active units.[2] The General Staff additionally reported that Russian units withdrawn from northeastern Ukraine are currently residing in tent camps and face declining morale.[3] Ukraine’s Main Intelligence Directorate (GUR) reported on April 7 that Russian military enterprises are unable to fulfill military orders due to inflation and supply chain issues, which it attributed to the effects of western sanctions.[4] The GUR claimed it intercepted a Kremlin report on the inability of several companies to complete state contracts and discontent over the Russian Ministry of Defense forcing companies to produce orders at a loss.

Immediate items to watch
Russian forces will continue reinforcing the Izyum-Slovyansk axis and attempting to advance to and through Slovyansk to encircle Ukrainian forces.
Russia is likely cohering forces in Donbas to attempt a major offensive in the coming days or weeks.
The Battle of Mariupol continues, and it is unclear how much longer the Ukrainian defenders can hold out.
Russian forces have fully vacated the Sumy axis and are regrouping in Belgorod for likely deployment to the Izyum-Slovyansk axis.
Some Russian forces are likely to return to home stations in Russia while others will re-enter the fighting in the east

Hey guys, what is the biggest difference between tactical difference Ukrainian soldiers and Russian soldiers?
Ukrainian soldiers can see in the dark while Russian soldiers will soon glow in the dark.
I still cannot believe that the Russians were stupid enough to make their soldiers dig trenches and encamp in the Red Forest.

Which just goes to show us why Russia was forced out of that area of Ukraine. I’m starting to believe the Russian military that people like myself that were born in the early 80’s isn’t anything close to what we feared.

Is this the longest thread in TD history?

Maybe I am just a peon, but this peon spent two years working at the COCOM (EUCOM specifically) level on over ten different CONPLANs. Gives you a bit of perspective on what it takes to fight a war.
I wasn’t a general, just an E-5 11 Mike, but I’ve read more about this part of the world than 99% on this board, and I love how smug most you are in your ignorant opinions.
Believe all the propaganda you like, Russia is going to come out of this just fine, because they have to, Putin has no other choice but to see this through.

Minus thousands of young Russians. This is going to turn into Afghanistan 2.0, just worse because of modern military advancements that were pipe dreams in the 80’s.
