Russia-Ukraine War - News, Discussions & Updates

lol, even the best equipped Russian force didn't do any maneuver warfare at all, the only instant they tried is when they attack Hostomel at the very beginning of this war. They failed after they failed to secure the airfield, and then the famous convoy and withdraw happened.

If they can maneuver like that with a 2 points pincer, they would have done it in Mariupol, they would have done Izium, they would have done it in Bakhmut, they would have done it in Siverodonetsk, they would have done it in Avdiivka, instead of spending 5 month to take Bakhmut, spending 7 to take Avdiivka....

Fighting a war is not just drawing 2 lines on a map and then saying this is what we need to do. Everyone knows that, if they can do that, they would have taken Kyiv back in April 2022......

I am not military, but let’s assume the russians want to pull the trick.
For a pincer movement the russians need about 4:1 military strength as attacking force. Ukraine has about 5 attacking mech brigades in Kursk, probably 2 in reserve, in total 7.

So Putin has the choice.
(1) pulling 28 brigades out from the Donbas, and move them to Kursk. With the risk the entire Donbas front will collapse.
(2) moving the young conscripts to Kursk and let them die fighting
(3) general mobilization. all men are called in.
(4) close the eye, increase cheap propaganda. Putin tells the russian population “all will be good.”

That’s fantasy. the russians can’t do that. Almost the entire Russia army is in Ukraine. the remaining fighting force in Russia is underfed, underequipped border guards, national guards, they have no chance against Ukraine mechanized tank brigades.

That will take weeks to move large parts of russian invasion army to Kursk.

Less than 10% of the Russian army is fighting in Ukraine

Russia still has an active army reserves of nearly a million men! Some of the posters here are deluded. The situation in Kursk could get really ugly for the Comedian - Russians now have the justification to start considering tactical nukes...

This Kursk operation is either make or break for Ukraine, doesn't seem to have relieved pressure on other fronts. Very interesting indeed.
