The Russian-Ukrainian War Thread

[Feanor]

This is a fantastic illustration of the current war effort. This is the change of front lines over the past two months. Red are Russian gains, blue are Ukrainian gains. A battle for the forest watchmen's hut is an overstatement. Storm in a teacup doesn't do it justice.

Продвижение ВС РФ и ВСУ за январь и февраль 2023 г. Больше всего ВС РФ (точнее, т.н. "ЧВК "Вагнер") продвинулись в Соледаре и южнее Бахмута, продвижение на Купянском направлении носило больше характер локальных боёв в лесу. На Южном фронте всё плюс-минус без перемен.

I ask the same question that Osint ask. Is this real? Are they keep pumping new forces to Bakhmut when they know the roads already under Russian direct fire range?

Bit contradictory when before Ukrainian sources and back by Western military sources downplaying the importance of Bakhmut. Even redicule Russian effort on grinding that area. Will Ukrainian going to use additional forces that supposedly being prepared for their spring counter offensive?

Note:
I put Osint tweet, that clearly not in any way Pro Russian. The Pro Russian telegram already talk differently and bit gleefully.

Moscow is losing their population at a rate of 50x less than other provinces. The question that needs to be asked is what do these smaller remote provinces receive which makes them gleeful at the thought of their population becoming decimated while the rich folks in Moscow and St. Petersberg benefit from that sacrifice. You have to wonder if those smaller areas will eventually revolt if they need to send more men to the war.

This is the same info I've seen in Russian sources, Ukrainian reinforcements pouring in despite the bad situation.

An interesting video surfaced of a Russian tank crew, one WIA, that had to hide in a crater for 2 days after their vehicle was knocked out on a land mine. Apparently they were rescued by elements of the 5th Tanks and 37th Motor-Rifles.

Just a thought, which side is having the most casualties and equipment losses during this phase of the conflict? If the Ukrainians are losing significantly less than the RU it may be a deliberate ploy on their part to drain the RU of men and materials prior to them bringing the new forces they are building up into the war and having the RU concentrated away from were the next intended thrusts are intended to be.

 

[Karl Franz]

Hey guys, was very busy transitioning to a new job so I couldn't follow the conflict as much as before so I was unable to post.

I was wondering if there was any more precise information about the size of Bakhmut garrison. The figures I'm seeing go from 5k to 25k which is a big difference. If it is the latter then even if the Wagner cuts them off entirely a breakout operation is not out of the question, depending on how big the Wagner blocking forces are. On the flip-side if the Ukrainians don't have enough ammunition, fuel, and no significant forces outside of the encirclement to help this may be exactly what the Russians want so they can destroy them in the open. I guess everything depends if there is a strong Ukrainian grouping in Chasiv Yar to help them break through.

I would also like to recommend a map of the conflict I've been following. As far as I can tell they are accurate (relatively, mistakes are always possible) and update regularly so you guys might find them interesting.

Good question. I don't think we will get a good answer. This apparently Ukrainian commander thinks Ukraine is losing a btln+ per week in Artemovsk/Bakhmut. This likely doesn't include fighting in other sections of the front near the city. He's calling for Ukrainian command to withdraw from the city and regroup on new defense lines. So Ukraine's casualties are anything but low. On the other hand we've seen terrible Russian attacks at Ugledar and Avdeevka that have cost significant casualties without accomplishing much of anything.

Can you explain why I see these videos every day? It seems like every day I see a new video of Russian tanks in the same field of Vuledar running into mines while there are 5 other tanks disabled. Why do they keep running into these fields knowing they are mined? You would think they would get the message after 2 days instead they keep sending these tanks to known death. This is truly baffling to me.

As the official Russian General Staff liaison to defencetalk, I definitely know the answer to this question.

On a serious note, I haven't the slightest. It looks every bit as stupid to me as it does to you. On the flip side, we don't really have the full video of what took place, just short clips of Russian vehicles getting hit. So I'm curious if there is a context that would make this look less ridiculous. There of course may not be, it's not clear. What's clear is that the 155th Marines have secured and expanded a foothold in the dacha neighborhood on the south-east of Ugledar, but the motor-rifles and 5th tanks have failed in all their attempts to hit Ugledar from the other side. We can't even be certain if all the videos released are over a span of time, or are slow releases of videos that all happened relatively quickly.

It could be as simple as rotating new parts of the unit through and not telling them. You would think they would send a mine clearing vehicle into the area while using smoke to cover it, but what do I know ?

Something interesting I found in both official and unofficial Russian reports, apparently the Ukrainians have been losing a lot more vehicles and manpower in Kherson region then they should. As far as I know the Russians pulled all forces across the river and there is no close combat only artillery duels, and yet Russians claim 30 vehicles destroyed in the last 24h. The number itself is not that important (nor possibly true) but its comparison to the rest of the front is. Such as around Kupiansk where they reported just five or six (can't remember the exact number), that's a pretty big difference and this is a region where Russians are actually pushing and trying to advance. Pretty weird statistic, either the Russians are making stuff up or for some reason their artillery has gotten very effective in this sector.

Regarding Bakhmut and looking at the deployment map I think that Ukrainians have accepted that encirclement is unavoidable and are sending units such as Azov, Chechens and free Russians into the city hoping for a Mariupol type siege which could last months as these units would fight to the end, that is to say would prefer death to capture as i doubt any of them would be treated well if taken prisoner.

Reuters reported that the second one was damaged by the Russian artillery and they are seeing more Ukrainian troops heading to the frontline: Russia close to encircling Ukraine's Bakhmut after months of fighting

Reuters observed intense Russian shelling of routes leading west out of Bakhmut, an apparent attempt to block Ukrainian forces' access in and out of the city. A bridge in the adjacent town of Khromove was damaged by Russian tank shelling.

Ukrainian soldiers were working to repair damaged roads and more troops were heading toward the frontline in a sign that Ukraine was not yet ready to give up the city. To the west, Ukrainians were digging new trenches for defensive positions.

Could be that the same is true for the other bridge as well.
