WNU Editor: For the past few weeks the Western narrative has been that because of the wet conditions on the ground, fighting along the front-lines will decrease. That has not been the case. There has been no let-up in the heavy fighting and high casualties continue to be the norm for both sides.
Decreased fighting?
ReplyDeleteWNU has not been reading Warzone, otherwise he would not have made such a fatuous statement. Does WNU take his job and his propaganda efforts seriously? I think not.
The Moscow property market will sink. We are nearing 300,000 dead or wounded for Russia.
We are also nearing 5,200 tanks destroyed. They picked the tanks in the best condition to refurbish. It only gets harder from here. 40% of the tanks have already been pulled from some storage depots . What is next? Pull the tanks without turrets and try to refurbish those?
The Russians cannot push a handful of companies for the left bank of the Dnipro. That handful of Ukrainians is sopping up like a sponge whatever mobility the Russians have left in Kherson.
More and more Ukrainians on the left bank. Soon there will be all sorts of Stingers on the left bank making it hard for heroes to glide bomb civilians on the right bank.
Warzone is a neocon rag, you fag. LOL
ReplyDeleteThat is kaufmans hideout. They re about as reliable as you are. Now we know where yo get your lies from.
You really are stupid believing them people. They get most of their info from the AFU and the AFU's former pervert announcer.
Warzone has a Russian troll presence in the name of Xavier and others.
ReplyDeleteI keep a black book of comments and predictions. So I judge the various commenters accordingly.
Good luck with that. BTW, we hear the 70th division is still going strong!!
ReplyDeleteSo the 70th is being enveloped, but is failing to dislodge the envelopers and you call that going strong.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the information. I will have to update my Russian dictionary.
So after many days on not making any posts on combat operations in Ukraine, WNU Editor returns with this. But no recognition of the immense Russian casualties at Avdiivka for little gain. Instead, only two very biased YT channels pretending this is some kind of Russian success.
ReplyDeleteSomething like an equivalent to an entire brigade has been wiped out in terms of armored vehicles and manpower. That's like one quarter or one third of the Russian forces originally committed. While before in Bakhmut Russia was sending in prisoners as storm battalions to be wiped out in human wave attacks in an attempt to overwhelm Ukraine, now they are using actual Russian soldiers to perform this because the prisoners stopped volunteering.
If Ukraine suffered such losses, WNU Editor would be crowing about how it means Ukraine should just give up. But since it's Russia, he cannot make himself talk about the scale of the Russian defeat.
While the battle is still ongoing, there is little chance the Russians will be able to take the city. Geography in this area much better supports the Ukrainian positions than they did in Bakhmut. Russia now seem to be out of armored vehicles all together and relying on mass infantry assaults which will result in even higher Russian casualties. Russia is transferring forces from the Kupyansk front to Avdiivka now, meaning they have run out of local tactical reserves and must now deplete from other areas. Russian wives are complaining that their husbands serving in territorial units that are illegal to deploy in Ukraine are fighting on the frontlines (with insufficient training and equipment).
Before their recent attack here, I thought it unlikely that Ukrainian estimates of Russian dead would reach 300,000 until 2024. Now it looks like they will hit that number before the end of October. Now I don't take Ukrainian estimates as accurate. Every military overestimates the enemy's losses. But even if you think the estimate is off by a factor of one third or one half of the real number, the actual Russian dead is well over 200k.
Putin clearly wanted some propaganda success he wanted to present to the Russian people and the world. It is likely no accident this was launched just before he went to China to meet with Xi. He likely won't get it. I think the best the Russians can do at this point is threaten things enough that force a premature Ukrainian counterattack that will lead to higher casualties to stabilize the front.

Thats exactly what they are doing. The russians will push the ukies and they ukies, as always, will take the bait. They will then die in mass because of the lack of indirect support.
ReplyDeleteThe battle field now will belong to the russians, due to the mud season. The russians have more robust lines of re-supply and communication. The Ukrainians? Their systems are broken and thier attempts of coordination suck. The ukies are also under artillery/indirect fire both in-depth and on the front . The Russians? Thier industry and lines of transport remain untouched.
This may be over by spring. Units of the AFU are now full of old men. There are NO volunteers lining up at recruitment stations. All the ukies have left is forced mobilization and press gang.
Those of you who predicted the taking of Tok man and the "interdiction of russian lines". were smoking crack again. It did not happen. This week the ukies had over 20 aircraft shot down and you do not see anymore storm shadow hits.
There has not been a russian defeat since last September's ukie offensive. And there will not be another one either. The Nato brigades got chopped up. The young men and trained crews are dead or wounded. But zelinski will fight on. Until the units finally break and it ends up a total debacle.
The Russian will probably then take the souther provinces as well.
I thought on the north flank there were 2 regiments in the attack and 4 MRRs in reserve. The first two attacking brigades got slaughtered.
ReplyDeleteThe attacking units and the MMRS are regulars not mobiks. The decision to attack and to continue to attack came from on high. That these were regulars and there were so many reserves shows how serious Moscow is.
As Chris said units were diverted from the Kupyansk sector to Avdiivka. gains that had been made around Kupyansk are being rolled back. The quality of troops or I should say the brevity and quality of their training shows. There was one tank encounter in particular with a T-90 that was pathetic and heart rending. The tanks was not driven well and got hung up on something. The commander propped the hatch and about that time the tank went up like a Roman candle. There went 5% of the monthly Russian production of T-90s.
To contain the Robotyne axis the Russians stripped Kherson. The Russians in Kherson really have no mobility as result and it shows. The Ukrainians are killing them there on a shoe string budget.
The left bank operations were said to be a raid over and over. That was a fortnight ago. What it reminds me of is the Shenandoah. The Ukrainians can play but the Russians cannot. the Russians have done played. They cannot be bigger dicks about other than to go full Babi Yar.
If you cannot push a couple of tanks along the M-14, a supply truck is not going to use it. The only reason to see the stupid videos of shot getting blown up is to do a scatterplot analysis and such. it is old. It is boring. It is stupid. It is a waste of life. The truth is the Russians pushed 2 tanks on the M014 and they got wasted. M-14 appears to be cut.
I am shocked. After they said it was a raid, that there is no bridge and that there is no heavy weapons. I did not expect the Ukrainians to still be there and for the MSR to be cut.
The Ukrainians evacuated the right bank of civilians and true to form the Russian artillery started plinking at house wearing out barrels and wasting ammo. At least Kim Junk Un made out on the deal. The Korean ammo seems to be decent BTW.
6 Regiments on the Northern Avdiivka flank 2 regiments mauled already 4 in reserve, but the Ukies taking the bait. Riiiiiiiiiight!
ReplyDelete3:11 is such an effective propagandists he has rubber lips, but at least his boss has not volunteered him to be a mobik.
Thats because you fools are getting your intelligence from the Ukie HQ and from a fing chinese fortune cookie.
ReplyDeleteSure they were wiped out and the we are winning in Afghanistan also.
Over 100 burnt out Russian fighting vehicles tells a different story vatnik.
ReplyDeleteYou are looking at photos that had prior burnt out hulks vatnikiii.
ReplyDeleteand you forgot to factor in UKie lies. Make the count around 10 and you will be about right
Since the mid of Octoberdaily reports claimed, according to my notes, the shot down of:
ReplyDelete17 Ukrainian Mig-29 fighter aircraft
2 Ukrainian SU-24 tactical bombers
3 Ukrainian SU-25 close air support jets
1 Ukrainian L-39 fighter jet trainer
3 MI-8 transport helicopters
That is a total of 26 air assets over just 9 days!
That sucks but you are winning , Right?
Russia executing retreating soldiers in Ukraine, White House says
ReplyDeleteBy Snejana Farberov
Published Oct. 27, 2023, 1:59 p.m. ET
Russian military commanders are executing their own soldiers who refuse to follow orders — and threatening entire units with death if they try to retreat from fighting in Ukraine, the Biden administration has said.
White House National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby told reporters Thursday that the US has intelligence that insubordinate troops are being put to death.
“We also have information that Russian commanders are threatening to execute entire units if they seek to retreat from Ukrainian artillery fire,” Kirby went on.
The Kremlin and the Russian Defense Ministry have not commented on the US claims.
Ukrainian officials said earlier this week that Moscow’s forces were ignoring heavy losses and pressing on with a hitherto unsuccessful offensive to capture the eastern city of Avdiivka.
Kirby said the Russian military was using “human wave tactics” by throwing poorly trained and underequipped soldiers into battle — and then killing them if they refuse to fight.

5:01 and I are on the same side on 5hthis, but what a useless wanker 5:01 is. Essentially brainless they are.
ReplyDelete501 and you believe that bullshit?
ReplyDeleteGood and by the way the Russians are......
using mass wave attacks
and they are using shovels
and they have no more tanks
and oh yea, they have more tanks but they are all T55s
and they have no air force
and their reserves are all spent
or they are all mutinying.
and that is why they beat the ukies at Bakhumut , Maripol and in the last Fdup ukie counter offensive.
Thats right. the Russians are completely defeated, but the keep beating the snot out of the ukies. How is this possible?
Because it is not.
What is possible is: this article and Kirby's lies are the same silly bullshit you all have been saying for the last 12 months. You want to believe this trash and that fool Kirby, you go ahead. It will end up the same...Ukraine will lose.
there is only one paved msr going into Avdiivka. It is now under Russian indirect fire control and that gap is closing . The ukies units will fight , but thier situation is more desperate than those that fought in Bakhmut or Mariupol. Soon it will be full winter and those people will be cut off from re supply. Not only food , ammo and heating but medical too.
ReplyDeleteThey will not last long under such conditions.
"there is only one paved msr going into Avdiivka. It is now under Russian indirect fire"
ReplyDeleteWe heard that about Bakhmut. There was never an encirclement. Wagner did revolt though as a result of Russia's glorious victory.
Things are going well for Russia. Russia pulled out its S-400 system from Syria. It pulled some elements of the S-300 system(s). Reloads or something.
The Assad regime is or was actually making headway against the Idlib pocket by itself. It remains to be seen if this continues after the Iranians stirred things up. The Israeli Air Force pretty much can go where it wants around Syria. Enough assets might be taken out that gains by Assad might grind to a halt. Idlib is supported by Turkey so we shall see.
Come to think of it if Turkey wanted to hurt Russia by helping Ukraine, it would kill some Russians in Syria. Not many. The usual we hurt you now lets call a cease fire. Of course with plausible deniability. Maybe some off the shelf drones. Keep the remains of the S-300 system(s) honest. A dozen or so soldiers that make Russia fear for its footprint.
Bottom line is Russia will take some casualties in Syria preventing it from drawing reinforcements from Syria to Ukraine or causing reinforcement that would go to Ukraine to be diverted to Syria.
What you did not add into you are gument because it is twisted.
ReplyDeleteThat unlike the Ukraine, the Russians have the ability to be in Syria and support / supply Syria and still beat the ukies to a standstill.
How do you explain that one Einstein?
Also the ukies are not under any sanctions, but the Russians are under significant ones and economicly doing better than the UKies.
How do you explain that one also?
