[@Yoda300YearsAgo]

Worst part of this war are the drones on either side, very effective but so gruesome. You can be the toughest soldier on the field but if you rolled the wrong dice, your faith is sealed. Sleeping in the open, you get targeted by thermal vision drones. Sitting in a 40 million $ armoured vehicle, you get destroyed by equipment worth a couple of 100's of dollars. You sit in a dug out, you can expect a little bomb in between any opening. Crawling into a house undetected, you're watched by a drone 2 km away, directing artillery on your head...

[@jorgebarriosmur]

Bet somebody is developing right now a "personall jamming-device" in order to neutralize cheap oncoming drones before they can reach you. Surely in the future, sqauds of the US-army, the UK, or the IDF will have one soldier carrying such a device...... What I don`t get is why the rusians even bother to attack without a jamming device in at least one of their vehicles......they must know what they are going to face, right? Perhaps they haven`t enough yet......althoug I am sure they are probably producing them 27/4 right now........

Perhaps better than closing pincers, Russia will simply reach the much closer supply line and force surrender or a bloody retreat through the mud south of the supply line. Likely, Ukrainian supplies are low inside Avdievka anyway, so once the supply line is cut surrender could come quickly. Surrender, such as in Mariupol, has greater propaganda effect even than taking the town by storm.

Doubt it, The Ukrainians could withdraw in Bakhmut and delay the Russians with a rear guard and that was Wagner their best troops.

[@charlesiragui2473]

@@user-qo1us9oc7gI believe the distance between the tips was greater in Baxmut than the distance between the Avdievka supply road and the Russian southern flank here. This will seemingly make escaping more difficult. In any case, the Russians can also make a push from the south to meet the forces taking the supply road from the north. Complete encirclement obviously prevents escape.

[@user-qo1us9oc7g]

The only time the Russians did an encirclement was at mariupol which Ukraine got cought offguard and possibly by treason. Russia cant seem to close the ring or they dont want to, leaving the Ukrainian army to escape and fight another day. @@charlesiragui2473

I wonder what would be happening now if Ukraine had retreated west of the Dneiper to conserve their manpower, stand-off attack assets and air defense assets as soon as it became clear that Bakhmut was going to fall?

Ukraine cannot. they can't stop fighting because they would have to give Up land and their freedom from Russia Me, i live in canada and am pro NATO because my Homeland is part of IT.

7:42 The Vostok Battalion ( former 11 DNR regiment, now 114 OMCBR of Russian Army) is very bad ass unit. Among other, they engaged heavily in Mariupol, and its the ones that storm the Terikon Hill three months ago.

[@kamikaze2009]

Formed in 2015 during the nascent years of Donbass’ fight for liberation as the evolution of the famed Vostok Battalion, the 11th Separate Guards continued in Vostok’s role as one of DNR’s spetsnaz (SOF) formations, due to their great number of veteran soldiers and post-Maidan Ukrainian intelligence defectors. Now, following DNR’s 2022 referendum, the unit continues its mission to protect the people of Donbass, and now, all Russians, as the 114th Separate Guards Motorized Rifle Brigade of the 1st Donetsk Army Corps of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.
