Analysis: Russia using 'human wave' troops in Donbas

[@fg740]

“In the Soviet army it takes more courage to retreat than advance.”- Joseph Stalin

[@Stan_the_Belgian]

in that case, the Russians are very courageous and I hope they will show more courage.

[@1112viggo]

Its brutal but it works. Rome killed their own soldiers in gruesome fashions if they broke rank and Sparta killed them just for loosing a shield. Persia even used slaves to wear out the enemy and spend their ammo while the more experienced troops had a spear to their backs, similar to what Russia is doing with their criminals now.

Effective defense vs “more artillery”…. Let’s use the same logic with food: the food that exists is very effective in quenching the hunger, and the problem is being taken care of, the only minor issue is that there are many more hungry people and that they can always replace the fed people with more hungry people and thus the issue is not solved yet.

[@harrybuttery2447]

It's not true and it's something both sides accuse each other of, because it's just propaganda. Both sides are enlisting convicts, it seems to be more widespread within the Ukrainian army however, it seems that convicts are only being used by Wagner on the Russian side. But even then they are not penal battalions(to be fair I don't think they are on either side), they are being recruited to operate within Wagner group. The notion that they are using human wave attacks is pure fabrication with no evidence to support it, and believe me, there would be we have drones everywhere now. There is also far more footage of Ukrainian losing large numbers of men and equipment than Russian, during the Kherson offensive every day I would see one or more clip of a Ukranian convoy being hit or something of that sort. It's less common now but more so in the Donbass rather than the north. Yes Ukraine published some such footage but it's rarer. He also says the north is where most the action is but it's not, they are just launching probing attacks at each other there.

[@d.i.m.eproductions6925]

I guess Enemy at the Gates wasn't overdramatic after all with Soviet tactics.

[@LRRPFco52]

Russia has always thrown bodies at military problems, since they could historically soak up a lot of munitions with millions of soldiers. Now that they are in demographic collapse, they can’t afford to do that. 2022 was the last year where they could launch a massive invasion into Ukraine, forecast by Peter Zeihan for many years prior.

[@deanfirnatine7814]

That has been Russian tactics for war since Ivan the Terrible, they never change.

[@Feffdc]

Yeah Ukrainians got inspired from that movie for their tactics it seems

Running down on artillery ammunition, they are using shells made in 2022. Russians can always bring more artillery to the front, bit their ammo is running low.

The propaganda is out of control. They are losing track of what lies they have created.

[@G1NZOU]

Not really, the contradiction is Russia isn't sure of its clear goal or even of its reasons to start this war and continue it, they've given so many contradictory reasons that it's muddled the narrative. And what the military is doing is hamstrung by Kremlin micromanaging and a lack of a clear unified tactic. On one hand the Russian Army is resorting to block troops and protecting the more experienced troops by having the inexperienced conscripts and criminals at the frontline, while Wagner group operates in a different part of the country and selectively chooses battles it can win and make a propaganda show out of, this way Wagner makes the regular army look even more foolish than they are already and the Wagner group's chief gets more influence and power in the Kremlin.
