Russia-Ukraine War - News and Developments PART 2

[Paul2]

Putins strategic military obsession with Bakhmut is a great mystery? Maybe the deal with the Wagner chief is to just burn through the Russian prisoners as cannon fodder, to make the Ukrainian's use up men and materials , whilst the new Russian conscripts get some basic training?

A small update from stuff I can tell from what is known to public already:

• RUAF committed serious amount of cannon fodder to the frontlines, true. Because of that, much of AFU's Sep-Oct offensive plans been called off.
• Western promise to deliver more armour been failed again.
• Overfocus on air defence been a major screw-up. It was made to divert allied attention from Ukraine's more important armour, and artillery needs.
• Bakhmut is a slaughterhouse not making any side any good, but it spoils AFU's attempts to divert a significant portion of its better infantry to cutting RU logistic infra in the North, and breach preparation in the South. Everybody sure it's a very deliberate action on Russian side
• Russian mechanised been pulled back to reform behind possible Ukrainian breach targets.
• Still a f##ning critical shortage of artillery, and APCs, which NATO donors could've filled in 1 week with ease. Men are fuming, completely furious at that. This made AFU to lose enormously good opportunities to take more territories by walkover in Sep-Oct, and trying to attrite Russians retreating from Kherson more aggressively.
• Russian mine warfare going extreme, literal tens of tons of mines are being planted across all frontlines every day. AFU will need tens of engineering vehicles for demining to resume breach attempts.
• All of above made AFU GHQ to take a hard decision to forego all offensive operations in favour of building more massive reserve, and hope for a stalemate breaking in the spring.

I have a better suggestion. Some PDF warriors should join the ranks in Ukraine.

Somal is a guy genuinely warranting deeper inquest into his identity. Allegedly, an American Somalian out of all people, but with very poor English, registering within week after Russians have started this war, seemingly able to understand Russian, using Russian language Windows on his computer, having Russian locale in his image metadata, being active online close to 24*7, and, after all of that, vehemently denying having any Russian connection.



And so does closing eyes on overt propaganda. Failing to filter your input from known disinformation will distort your analysis.

Administrator/mods need to look into his true identity. I still remember when one of the biggest posters on PDF, Nihonjin, claimed to be Japanese for years and was found to be a fraud.

Transparency is important to unveil true intentions.

Should we have your identity checked?

Yes .... and they shall immediately be despatched to Bakhmut.

Meanwhile, Ukrainian troops are getting ready to take Kreminna; when that happens the Russian defence (as it were) will collapse, and the Russian offensive on Bakhmut will be open for attacks from the rear. The coming months will be VERY costly for Russia...

Unfortunate. I have heard that this menace is of colossal proportions.

The question you should ask is why Bakhmut is so important to the Russian.

For the Ukrainian, their goal is to hinder Russian offensive, either to slow their advance or to buy time for their own counter attack. Which mean for the Ukrainian, any fight is welcome because it take resource and focus off what they are doing. As long as Russia keep attacking Bakhmut, Ukraine will say "Why not"

For the Russian, Bakhmut is not important AT ALL since they loses Lyman and Izyum, because before you need Bakhmut to secure a flank to attack Sloviansk and Kramatorsk which is the only way you can take both city, but now with Izyum and Lyman under Ukrainian Control, that is no longer possible, on the other hand, Bakhmut would be sitting duck even if Russia took it if and when Ukrianian broke thru Svatove.

What Russia is doing now is basically wasting resource and stringing up their troop for some land you don't need to have or have no purpose at all, they already did it twice, focusing on Mariupol means they blunted their Northern Advance and give time the Ukrainian build up their defence to withstand the Russian Assault, which is why it lead to the current situation to begin with. The other time they so focus on Siverodonetsk and Lysychansk they lost both Kharkiv and Kherson because of that.

This is not a smart way to fight.

As if you Australians know how to fight, if it wasn't for the British Indian army and the Chinese you guys would be eating Sushi everyday.

Maybe you should learn some history or Military Tactics or maybe some Geography before you open your mouth??

British Indian Army were in the different side of the globe. They were in Burma and Africa and later Italy. The only campaign the British Army in general conducted in South Pacific is the Singapore/Malaysia Campaign, which lead to 94,000 British and Commonwealth Troop (Including Australian) being captured by the Japanese and the loss of Singapore. The Chinese on the other hand, were being bogged down by the Japanese in Manchuria and Kanton area. They weren't ever in South Pacific.

The Campaign that credit to saving Australia directly is the Port Moresby Campaign, that is the port directly opposite Cairns and to a lesser extend the Battle of Coral Sea which make Naval Blockade of Australia (in the Pacific only, not Indian Ocean side, hence lesser extend) impossible. The first one is a joint US-Australian campaign, while the second one is a US-Dutch-Australian campaign.

And yes, I do have sushi every day, as if Sushi is not a thing even if Japanese loses WW2.

A woman soldier can be so good like a man soldier.

Not really.
They generally need way lighter loads and way less physical demand.
