You'd think by other long post that Russia is running over Ukraine positions but reality is the Avdiivka offensive will likely be worse than the Vuhledar offensive. If Russia continues this trend by the end of the month when you add up all the armored vehicles lost in this offensive it will total to a divisions worth of armored vehicles.
The War in the Ukraine

You mean Avdiivka offensive? That alone is staggering/mind blowing.
I mean the whole war and on both sides! I am surprised they aren't reduced to using sticks and stones.
The Russian attack on Adivikka is proven costly. It was heavily fortified since 2014. The troops stationed are the finests of Ukraine, as opposed to the conscripts elsewhere. Attacking it at this point might be reckless.
Ukraine suffered much of its artillery, anti air in the region, along with recent destruction of supply trains. However I fear that is not enough. It is always hard to defeat enemies dugged in. Even Israel vs Hezbolah is not one sided. Therefore at current situation I don't think Adivika is falling soon without big casualty involved.

Combined use of ATGMs, artillery and FPV drones against these series of AFU APCs and their occupants.
Russian tank in Kupyansk rushes a Ukrainian position and takes it out at close range.
120mm self propelled mortar 2S9 Nona S with cage, shelling Ukrainian positions and scooting in Artemovsk area with the aid of a UAV spotter. The front doesn't have enough mortars due to the trench warfare.
Vehicles being repaired at a facility in the Central Military District. Recovery and repair is a never ending process.
Leopard blows up in Verbove courtesy of the 104th VDV Regiment. A second Leopard was reported destroyed later but not in the footage.
Compilation of Krasnopol strikes at Ukrainian positions in Novomikhailovka Kostiantinivka line. Though not exactly Krasnopol but similar, these are using laser guided munitions from a 240mm Tyulpan self propelled mortar that have been modernized to use the Krasnopol guidance system. The mortar trajectories makes it perfect in taking out dugouts.
Recent vehicle kills near Verbove. Marder, Strykers, a T-72 with it's turret blown and with a mining trawl.
AFU tank gets knocked out somewhere in Kupyansk.
Orthodox Ka-52 strikes again. After taking out an AFU tank, a BRDM and an MT-LB tries to recover the tank and both were taken out for their efforts. This vlogger operates in the Zaporozhye region and so we assume this took place in that area. The tank itself was destroyed in another footage.
There's a Russian drive through Priyutne between Donetsk and Zaporozhye that's usually not covered. Here the 34th bombards Ukrainian positions and scouts for troops.
AFU tank taken out by the Sudoplatov Battalion using VT40 drone, along with attacks on AFU troop hideouts.
DPRK shells both 122mm and 152mm start to appear with Russian forces.
Ukrainian missiles reported being shot down towards Sevastopol, including converted S-200s.
Ukrainian artillery in the Torsky salient gets taken out by Lancet courtesy of the Siberian Association.
Another Polish Krab down on the count thanks to a Lancet.

It is the most fortified area in Ukraine. It is right next to Donetsk. It was never going to be easy.
Oh really? Like what. It is kind of obvious they were doing a reconnaissance mission. That BMD-2 dismounted the troops before getting to the line of contact and tried to draw fire to itself so they could spot the Ukrainian firing positions. Unfortunately a 30 mm autocannon will never outrange ATGMs so it was destroyed by two Ukrainian ATGM strikes. Without being able to spot Ukrainian firing positions there is little else they can do really.
In game you can just send a drone and it will use thermal cameras to spot infantry. But reality is never as easy as that. Infantry can be in entrenched positions not spottable by thermals.

Making fun of soldiers dying on this forum should be a bannable offense in my opinion or warranted a warning, regardless of which sides you support
This is an analytical forum through the lense of both sides of support, not a circle of campism
They are calling it Vuhledar 2.0.
This is what happens when two armies with no air force go on the offensive against fortified lines.
