Ryuu96 said: Guessing this will be the tactic for the entire year, since American support looks unlikely in the near future. Stay on the defensive, inflict as much damage as possible to the attackers, retreat when ratio isn't favourable and repeat, it'll mean we'll see Ukraine losing ground this year but ground is just ground, it can be retaken, lives and equipment are more important. From every encounter we've seen like this, where Russia is on the offensive and Ukraine is on the defensive, the Russian losses are almost always horrific in numbers. Ukraine's offensive losses have been bad but on average not close to as bad as Russia's offensive losses. But Russia has a lot of equipment so it'll take a while to see a noticeable impact. |
I think there's three things at play here:
1. Soviet-era human wave doctrine tactics, which basically consist of throwing men and equipment at the ennemy until he retreats or gives up, and
2. A general "we have more reserves than you do" mentality combined with a low valuation on human lives.
3. A need to hurry before the west gets their shit together and arms Ukraine to the teeth, at which point all would be lost for little Poutine.
