Everyone compares Putin to Hitler, but the Nazis showed up with a plan and were often successful. Putin has way more in common with Zapp Brannigan.
“In the game of chess, you can never let your adversary see your pieces.”
“If we hit that bullseye, the rest of the dominoes will fall like a house of cards. Checkmate.”
“When I’m in command, every mission is a suicide mission”
“Knowing their weakness, I sent wave after wave of my own men at them until they reached their limit and shut down.”
Late war Hitler, maybe ?
Goal is cause interger overflow in Ukrainian drones.
Somebody in russian high command really just looked at a map, noticed a section of convex frontline, and decided that it’s a great place for encirclement, without giving too much thought on why it stayed like this for almost a decade or even without looking at topographic map. Apparently putin wants Avdiivka encircled before November 4th, so we’re potentially in for more braindead activities in that area
They’re trying to encircle the Ukrainian advance?
Advance? If you mean Avdiivka, then no, frontline has been there all the way back in 2014 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Avdiivka_(2022–present) Avdiivka is basically a suburb of Donetsk city
btw where can i see the topographic map?
Google maps
It’s fucking huge
Are you Russian, friend?
What is this referring to?
The recent wave of Russian attacks that use little to no armor/vehicles and sends waves of people at an unbreakable defense to become bodies.
they did, but it didn’t help them. there’s a claim of 91 destroyed APCs and 34 tanks in single day, granted not all in Avdiivka, but it’s highly anomalous
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Avdiivka_(2022–present) (top and bottom) and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Vuhledar (middle)
under vuhledar, russians lost well over 100 armoured vehicles overall, with such gems like: russians losing a tank with mine roller to ATGM, but pushing through minefield anyway and losing entire unit piled up in one place and blown up with AT mines, like 5 APCs burning next to each other. all caught on video
under avdiivka 2, the recent one, they lost 91 APCs and 34 tanks in single day, per ukrainian army, and it’s not over
Truly a meat grinder.
Russian meat storm is a pretty good band name
