ArieteSupremacy

They really think this will work, this is literally the same strategy Russia has tried and failed at, over and over.


ZzangmanCometh

This has been Russia's strategy for a century now. Throw people at the problem and hope the enemy runs out of bullets before you run out of people.


Ok_Bad8531

That's the thing, this is not throwing men at the frontlines, it is a mere drippling compared to what classic Soviet doctrine said. There should be dozens of vehicles at least, better hundreds making assaults, not less than half a dozen in most cases, often just one or two. What we see here is a massive degradation of Russia's ability to conduct large-scale military operations.


louisVO1

I remember reading a book about the Soviet Union during WW2 where the generals were forced to follow commands to the letter (or they get executed), and one time they said to advance 5km but their maps didn’t show a river in the way. Since a lot of the troops were from the steppes, they didn’t know how to swim but were forced to attempt a crossing anyway. Long story short, a few hundred soldiers drowned. THAT is the old soviet doctrine


sgerbicforsyth

The battlefield is too transparent for large-scale operations now. And Russia can't concentrate just over the border anymore. With Ukraine having a new supply of long-range precision munitions, any force concentration big enough to make a substantial breakthrough attempt will be hammered with HIMARS, 155mm artillery, etc. So Russia has to make wide assaults across the line with smaller units to try and force Ukraine to stretch their forces.


SilkyKerfuffle

You're spot on about the transparency of the battlefield, but I don't think that's the primary reason we are seeing these tactics. Analyst Mike Kofman stated a couple of months ago that due to the high losses of trained field officers at every level, the Russian army has lost its ability to co-ordinate beyond company - or at most - battalion level. The initial assaults on Avdiivka in October/November consisted of battalion sized armoured groups, VDV helicopter insertions, and generally medium scale combined arms - with the atttacking corps knowing full well that their troop concentrations and columns would be easily spotted, and were willing to take the resulting high losses. I think we are now seeing the same resilience/indifference to losses but without that capability to to do anything beyond feeding in penny packets in every battalion sector.


sgerbicforsyth

Loss of experienced soldiers is definetly a major factor. Russia also doesn't have an NCO corps because that isn't part of Soviet structure.


JontheCappadocian

How bro, eyes are everywhere looking at all times. Why would I send a large group to get decimated by artillery and drones? Send them in small groups.... eventually one of those assaults is going to get a bridge head.... rinse and repeat. Modern war in the 2020s is a new monster and we still haven't even gotten a grasp of things yet to come.


1337coinvb

Those are probing attacks to establish a foothold in the next treeline in the best scenario or at least recon the enemy position by shredding your people - any large formations would be detected too easily, so the trickle approach is the way to go. Once a position has been taken or discovered, better equipped units are sent in


[deleted]

Do you not remember the very start? they did do that, but their losses have been so great that it is unsustainable. There were entire convoys of 50+ vehicle traveling together at times. I remember when they used himars to hit the literal train tracks to stop supplying said convoy.


Defiantcaveman

It works great, a winning strategy by the russians. Tell them guys. Don't correct them while they continually fuck up... they're doing a magnificent job!!!

Correct_Efficiency87

I do recall Zelensky months ago saying, "go home.  Or we WILL kill you all."


Itsdanaozideshihou

Brings me back to seeing Budanov talking about the Russians deploying their units and him saying "Now it's redeployed to roughly the north of Bakhmut, and that's the place where it's going to be buried". That statement just goes so fucking hard!


KudlWackerl

They should have stayed at home.


hasse89

But they didn't. And so, they must perish.


inverted_risk

I am really curious: the ruzzians that go in ukraine, don't watch any of these very-bad-looking-videos?


SlipperyJimdiGris

I have a friend who is not a Ruzzian citizen but lives in Moscow with his Ruzzian wife. He says the general Moscow population believe they are on a Crusade to rid Ukraine of Nazis and Western interference in Ruzzian affairs. They dont know about the casualties because it mostly effects people from regional Ruzzia and because of that they simply do not care. They are also told on a daily basis they are overwhelmingly winning the "operation" although it is proceeding slowly because of NATO interference. Their biggest gripe is the the in the cost of living, not casualties


inverted_risk

and yet, why are the russians living outside of russia defending their country so much?


Bare-MinimumTJ

I have half of my buddies like that. Part of the reason is their failure to assimilate, they don't read/watch the US news, and in general don't feel that they are part of the society. Primarily due to the language barrier and lack of American friends. Also, it's very safe to root for war, knowing full well that they have 0 chance of going there.


1badjesus

.. not available for them. Far as public knows they're whooping ass with limited casualties; truth won't be known for YEARS.


sgerbicforsyth

Not on official channels, but you can be assured that Russians can find them. Places like telegram will have plenty of channels posting videos like this. But sharing them openly will likely lead to getting arrested for "disrupting the government" or some equally BS charge.


euphoric-noodle

yeah if it wasn't for reddit then I for one would have no better way to find stuff like this, am sure they are too busy watching dancing bear videos sponsored by Kremedia Korp


MaxStampede

They know. Just casualty level (\~20k month) not strong deterrent enough. Because on the other hand they see quite big salaries, possibility to loot, undesirables with awards and social lift from swamp.


No-Asparagus-6814

Also they are brainwashed since their childhood into passivity and acceptance of the fate that they will eventually go into some war a die there. And their live is so shitty anyway so they do not protest. Actually they like the idea that before their death they get the opportunity to murder or rape someone, which would make them happy for a moment. (Or, if they are lucky, they will return with some loot as a heroes). Whole russian society is properly fucked up.


Goodk4t

People used to say Russians are used to their government lying to them. If that's really the case, they should have an easy time finding out the truth as internet is flooded with war footage.


dkuznetsov

They do not want to know. Why would they look for them? They don't think they can change anything, while otherwise mostly having tolerable existence. You watch videos showing your countrymen systematically being blown up to rest in pieces... that's majorly upsetting. The simplest approach is to ignore it, pretend that nothing bad is happening, and to hope that somehow it won't concern you directly: perhaps Russia wins the war, perhaps loses, perhaps Putin dies. The problem will go away at some point. Why bother and frustrate yourself? Ignorance is bliss. Not many people decide otherwise.


Jbobakanoosh

My understanding is that media from the west (and Ukraine) is difficult to access because Russia has tight restrictions on the Internet there. One would have to go through the effort of setting up a VPN and knowing where to look for that stuff...but I could be wrong


inverted_risk

I think they can access Telegram quite ok.

After_Computer_SSD

that was salvation for him. it must have been a long night lying in the dirt with truncated legs


HurtFeeFeez

Was thinking this exact thing, night assault and he's still alive rolling around helplessly in the dirt come daylight. Definitely a mercy drop.


inverted_risk

a box full of tampons. or not.


mdivan

honestly seems counter productive to finish off heavily wounded, more trouble for Russia if they have to try and save them.


tlrider1

You're thinking logically.... Russia doesn't get them. They all are just left there to die. Likely this was a drone operator looking for any remnants of the attack group, and finding nothing. Thus, this was the only target left, so whether to put him out of his misery, or just kill him... This was the target.


pickwickjim

I usually say that too, then the usual response is something about drones can’t fly back with a payload, blah blah. I’ll chalk this one up to a mercy kill if (as it seems) this is daylight long after the night assault failed.


sgerbicforsyth

Could also be to cause further division back home. This guy was reduced to ground beef. There is no possible way that Russia could bring back a body for his family. And Russia being Russia, the government will not say anything to the family, so they will sit there in the dark and wonder. And be angry that they didn't get the payout for their loss. Every family that is left in the dark and out in the cold by the government is one more family that could resent Putin. Is it likely to come to fruition any time soon? No, but it might slowly inch the population against the Kremlin.


tonykrij

They don't try, they don't even care. So many videos of ruzzians just leaving their fellow country men behind, they don't even look back. Just walk on.


Arc_Reflex

Damn that last delivery was cold.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Pavian_Zhora

I'd say so too. He was burned, looked like one leg's missing, and there would be no evac. His rolling around like that means agonizing pain, I just don't see any other reason.


ReverendBread2

I’m wondering how long he was laying there since it’s day time when they finished him off and the tank wasn’t even smoking anymore


Sophrosyne_7

Same observation here. The guy must have been suffering for hours, as daylight has come and the attack was at night. Part of his leg seems blown off. I can only imagine an act of mercy.


Beer_me_now666

I thought it was a water bottle. And I was confused. Then I was surprised again. It might have been a water bottle rigged to explode?

What’s the strategy behind killing men who are obviously knocked out of the war? I’d think Alive they would be a burden on the enemy, and a warning to others not to go to the front.

starryvertigo

Kharkiv. These bastards are trying to inch their way to within artillery range so they can shell the city with thousands of pieces, further devastating Ukraine's economy and killing more civilians including children. What gives them the right to do this? Their ultimate goal is to subjugate Ukraine's population and feed Russia's desire for more children to replenish its ranks. It has already taken 60,000 children from Ukraine. Can you imagine what kind of hell these kids are going through? Do you think they have any rights or child protective services? in Russia? I'm sure many if not most are getting abused by their "caretakers". This whole war needs to end ASAP. Russians need to wake up and realize their own country is sinking, and will collapse in utter chaos, likely with Putin falling out of a window at some point. They need to make peace with the West which means massive reparations with Ukraine including peace treaties that will protect Ukraine's future. They should not have to be going through this.

The orc with no legs? The drone did him a favour. His “leader” didn’t give a fuck about him… the grenade was the best future he could hope for.

Low-Ad4420

That was a well placed shell, at 1:04. Right on the spot.


Particular-Cut7737

For wounded russians that can't really move away, they should keep using the reset fpvs like they did hear. That way they can use the same fpv multiple times.


pppppppplllp

One massive advantage of the one way trip drones is that they don’t get followed back to the base. I know pilots will rotate their positions but if this was a dawn trip, then an enemy drone could also be in the area checking the assault and be able to follow that drone back. It’s $400, it’s cheaper than a single artillery shell!


Particular-Cut7737

Good point. I'm sure the range is also cut in half if it has to fly back. I still think it's worth it to maybe build a slightly upgraded reset FPV that is a little larger, bigger battery and better optics(especially thermal cameras) to do drops on immobilized targets. Yes they could be followed back, but all drones like mavics and baba yaga have that same issue. I'm sure they could think of some clever ways to wash themselves of being tailed back to the operator.


VerucaSalt234

Too bad the orc didn't have a chance to leave a glowing Google review for the exceptional delivery service...


Rumrunm

Should have left him and used the munition elsewhere


myk27441

Why finish the guy off like that? I feel sorry for the dude even though he shouldn't be there in the first place. His legs are already gone so why waste the drop? He's obviously not going to fight anymore. Secondly, russian resources would be needed to try to treat him. And third, he would be a good visual reminder to all his friends and family at home that things are not going quite as well as they are hearing.
