The War in the Ukraine

So I've been hearing a lot about how Russia has lots "hundreds" of armored vehicles in the latest push, but also a lot of rumours about them making pretty big gains in the south and near the coke plant

What's the consensus? Is this another Bakhmut where Russia will have large losses but end up taking the city?

I don't think there's any consensus on Bakhmut.
You can either frame it as the Russians sending human wave attacks, trying to overrun the Ukrainians with superior numbers.
Or the Russians methodologically clearing the city with superior firepower from a semi-surround, while the Ukrainians kept sending in new forces to hold the line. While restricting the Ukrainians in terms of logistics - in particular healthcare transportation - effectively leading to much higher mortality than under normal conditions.

Truth is obviously somewhere in between, but any notion of "consensus" seem impossible.

Show me on a map those "pretty big gains". Make comparison between 1st October and today to see enormous few hundreds of meter gains.

Jihadi Julian at the Bild:


"▪ BILD military expert Julian Röpke reports that Russian units advanced to the railway line north of the city and occupied a one-kilometer-wide strip. As a result, the width of the corridor through which the VSU group in Avdeevka can be supplied has decreased from 9 to 7 km, which greatly complicates the delivery of everything necessary to the city.
"The Russian army hopes to gain a foothold in the plant and use this springboard to enter the city. If the Russians succeed, then the southern, civilian part of Avdeevka will be practically surrounded, " considers Röpke."

Not anywhere near the wildest ammo, you've yet to see the rat fpv.

Dunno if the pic can be posted since ig it is animal cruelty, even though most of us probably have at least seen rat bodies or even killed rats out of necessity.

Footage of the Russian Terminator combat vehicle in combat work in Ukraine is rare. There are constantly rumors that they were destroyed, but this is not so, several Terminator combat vehicles are now working in the Donetsk direction. The car, one might say, is being hunted by Ukrainian units, because any destruction of this car is a significant event and a cash bonus for Ukrainian soldiers. One of its crew members spoke about the work of the Terminator BMPT.

Anyone has links to latest map?

There are also maps from Rybar and others.

Looks to be from a more Ukraine leaning source. Some more progress has been made according to more neutral sources like Suriyak.

Yeah I know. But it is easily accessible and regularly updated. And it is not as bad as the ISW maps or something like that.
