If rusnigger generals had any sense left they would do everything in their power to conduct a major offensive from the south to capture zaporizhzhya and dnipropetrovsk, then renew the kharkiv attack, encricle the city, and take the entire m-29, the war would be effectively over if they pull this off within 2-3 weeks, with constant airstrikes and bombardment of the areas east of the m-29 of course, they should stopp trying to take the donbass bit by bit from the east.

I would agree that the defense of Ukraine is hardening, the longer they wait the more shelled it becomes. The sea outside Odessa may be cut, but the holding of forces has led to a loss of momentum. I wonder if it is a matter of number of forces, that numbers are too low to proceed on advances.

The more rushits wait and be cautious the more they lose in the long run, they're afraid of suffering major casualties in any big operations which has effectively left them paralyzed, but this just means the small scale casualties will add up to become even more than what they would be had they just conducted large scale attacks, stupid officers, stupid military staff, outdated military doctrines that they half ass, just fucking shit really, i would honestly do a better job than gerasimov.

They don't even have the material and men needed for something of that scale, Russia does not even have 500,000 in the shitshow and keeps treating the affair as a ebbin special operation than that of a major war. They will lose.

i know, just wishful thinking on my part, i dont understand how a country that big with such a supposedly important army has command structure this abysmal, after russian signs the humiliating peace treaty putin should hang the entire stavka.

It reminds me of Libya, Haftar was on a time limit too, the more time that passes, the more foreign partners move in assistance

russia can not do that and probably wont be able to win this war any way unless they either 1. declare war and go full war economy and do general draft or 2. use tactical low yields nukes

you faggot shia tranny , urdoni is a aljoulani supporter

this

russia would be giga fucked if they lose the war , they would need to go full orthodox north Korea if they dont want to become a American poppet like the rest of Europe

>. declare war and go full war economy and do general draft or 2. use tactical low yields nukes

This is not hoi IV , russia doesn't have the option of going "full war economy", and using le small nukes is the same as using a fucking tsar bomba, you let the cat out of the bag and its over.
its not even that anymore, western support will get in no matter what russians do, what they can do is actually put that great war mentality that i dont know how they got in the fucking trash and get their battlegroups moving, fast, i mean the time they're wasting is just baffling to me, the men will die, no way around it, at least let them die in a useful offensive.

>I wonder if it is a matter of number of forces,
yeah it obviously is

>aljoulani
Who? Sounds like another ISIS organisation to me. Just drop some barrel bombs on them!

I guess these are the perks of getting invaded, you get unlimited manpower without losing political power and getting shat on by your people, it makes sense for ukraine to have more soldiers.

Algerianbro just ignore the nameflag, let him talk to himself.

When they had Kiev threatened on multiple sides was probably the high point of the invasion, when they pulled it back I think they put the whole thing in jeopardy

Supplies too; still, the army is an army, they could just have limited objectives set as a low bar, maybe they are capable of more. I think without a new offensive like Kiev, Ukraine can be expected to take the lead, especially if some of those new trained units pay off. I would say they're underusing RuAF

>russia doesn't have the option of going "full war economy"
if they cant then they are fucked
>and using le small nukes is the same as using a fucking tsar bomba, you let the cat out of the bag and its over.
wrong i doubt the west would go full suicidal and declare a nuclear war just because russia used small yields nukes on the Ukrainian front line , you need to understand the west and their ruler are pragmatic utilitarian materialist , and are not honor based leadership that are willing to suicide for their principals

You guys argue about strategy and tactics and forgot Russia has nukes! They can just drop some strategic nukes and fuck the Ukranian forces.

The west may not be willing to fight, but I'm somewhat convinced they are ready to lead a big portion of Ukraine's male population into open combat with Russia to hurt Russian interests across the globe. Ultimately NATO is fighting for NATO's interest, weakening Russia by proxy

Having nukes and using nukes is two very different things, algerieanon makes a great point

>nameflag
What a newfag! It's called namefag.

>I would say they're underusing RuAF
i think the Russia dont want to lose their air power because it will be extremally hard and costly for them to replace it due to their small economy
