Only two countries in the world right now have first hand experience on how to fight a modern war: Russia and Ukraine

Cant fool us with that War Thunder SU-17M4 Thumbnail

It's nice to see there still are youtubers who are trying to do reporting in a professional manner, regardless of who has the advantage on the battlefield at the given time. The number of youtubers who are literally spreading BS and use childish mockery to gain viewers lately is ridiculous.

Quantity does have a quality all its own, and Russia has historically proven that it can "win ugly" if it has to.

The Russians are retreating forwards and the Ukrainians are advancing backwards

Talk about Krinky. Russian attack in karkiv made ukraine relocate some forces from the southern front.

Reminds me of the strategy used by Grant to end the Civil War -- tie down more and more of the enemies resources until the line becomes so thin a break threw to Richmond is achieved. Grant could do this because he had superiority in man power and in resources. It took a lot of man power and a "bloody" mindset, just like the Russians have, but it broke the back of Lee's forces and ended the war

The amount of Ukrainian military age men that ran away to all parts of the world to avoid fighting says alot about how this war will end,

What about the 1 million strong ukrainian army, and just 30 000 kia, the numbers are not adding up with the media, the west become so cringe over the years

The problem with this war is that Ukraine has no realistic end goal. Without NATO boots on the ground, there is no way they can win unless Russia give up. If their goal is to hold off Russia for as long as possible? Putin has stated this is an existential war for Russia, so they will not give up. At this rate, Russia will annex half of Ukraine. They need to make a deal.

We should triple the defense budget (satire)

Hypersonic ballistic shovels and shed tanks are too much for NAFO forces and weapons.

Hey Preston will you cover the Iran helicopter crash?

[alejandrocasalegno]

Underestimate Russia ALWAYS ended very

[ktw]

what end goal does slowing a Russian advance have for Ukraine? Surely their has to be an actual goal other than inflicting more losses to Russia. If they do not expect to take back any land, and they don't expect to be able to hold Russia, slowing down means over a long period of time means inevitable collapse of the entire country.

What point is being able to control a bunch of Donbas farmland when all your young farmers are dead or crippled.

Russia is basically doing what Germany did mid to late WW1. They've basically copied the Stormtroopers playbook. Back in WW1 the basic military unit of the German Army was the Battalion. Most early engagements involved either full movement of the Battalion or the entire Regiment, but when the war became a stalemate the Germans adopted the small units tactics. Stormtroopers fought in either company size elements to company size. The only difference today is Russia is fighting at the fireteam to platoon level and of course Drones!

Looks like the Russian military's advantages and capabilities are being accurately assessed for the first time instead of hubris and mockery. And while the Russians are consolidating their gains and expanding their opportunities, Ukraine is fighting without a clear strategy beyond holding the defense as long as possible. And what's worse is that with drones on the battlefield, maneuver is not really playing a deciding factor so manpower and logistics are going to determine the outcome of the war.
