LMAO what's with so many "just hatched" accounts spewing pure copium on this forum? So your best argument against Ukrainians losing Soledar is Russians complaining that the ground is too hard in trenches dug by engineering vehicles? Have you seen Ukrainian and NATO losses at this point? Let's be honest here, the entire Russian strategy here is just using overwhelming firepower to grind its enemy to exhaustion, and they don't mind giving up territories and equipment in doing so. Ukraine and NATO simply has shown that it is willing to be led into this type of warfare over and over again. It's not exactly the style of high-tech warfare that I am hoping for, but it somehow still works sufficiently for Russians for do it again and again.

Well, you see comments like this...
When one side has superiority in firepower, including artillery, control of the skies, etc. What makes these people think that side would be the one with the most losses? You should have 3:1 advantage to press an attack, but the thing is, it does not mean you take more losses. That depends on a lot of factors. Otherwise the US would have lost the War on Iraq and had horrendous losses no? They were outnumbered too.
I'm detecting some salt in this thread.
Anyway saw this last night:
Sumy is pretty far from Soledar and I don't see how 500 td troops would help much in a counter-attack. I would watch out for movement of vehicles though if a counter-attack is coming. Seems onbrand for AFU.

You know this how? I'm rather impartial to the war and I'm not going to jump to conclusions about who's going to win the war because frankly everyone loses by the end of the war. Making such claims and the only evidence you continuously provide is from the same dude on twitter. Dude is twitter your only source? You've got to at least think for yourself and remember the biases of each poster on the site. The Echo chambers on both sides are extremely stupid.
How are they even maintaining coherence of command by completely changing the chain of command every 2-4 months?!?
internet-wide information control initiative.
U only need one guess about who’s funding it
When Organisations need to get rid of people, they often ask employees that they can voluntarily resign to keep face or else they will be fired. Surovikin whether fired or 'resigned' doesn't matter. He was at the top of the food chain, now he isn't, that's a demotion, just a simple fact, nothing complicated.
So many leadership changes means there is alot of political interference at operational level from Putin and or Shoigu. It is not a good sign, it also means goal posts keep changing.
News of the Polish Leopard 2s going to Ukraine is not breaking new. But there are some more details.
Only 12 Leopards? I don't know what 12 Leopards can do for Ukraine at this point. They need hundreds of new MBTs.
Looking at the Polish pattern of sending their troops into Ukraine and then rebadging them as Ukrainian troops. speculate that these Polish Leopards will be manned by Polish crews. Probably an entire Polish tank company, rebadged as Ukrainian. No Ukrainians are gonna trained fast enough to crew them and fight now.
It'll be good battle experience for the Polish tank forces, even if they get killed. But for the Russians, it'll be a priceless opportunity to fight against a defacto company of NATO Leopard 2s. Even better if they could capture some intact units.
I don't know about all the talk about foreign soldiers fighting in ukraine but about the 12 leopards i think it could be so other country's can add there leopards without losing too much of their stock of leopards so you can have 12 from one country like Poland then 12 from another to the point they reach a total of 100ish or more or less.
Putin, Shoigu, Gerasimov are of same generation. Surovikin is junior deputy.
Gerasimov always involves whether in Syria or anywhere else. you can see him in diplomatic suit. and i have no doubt he studied IDF.
