Inside the trenches on the Ukrainian frontline | ITV News

They were places of hell in the last century and time has done nothing to ease the horrors of trench warfare.
Technology may have allowed us to see their reality better, but it has not made this style of battle any less brutal.
They remain some of the worst places to live and die.
Now they tear into the Ukrainian countryside as they tore into other parts of Europe in wars of old. Mile after mile of muddy deep red in green fields beneath blue skies.

I've seen this on another source and there is even more to it. He literally just got there and doesn't know the men yet. He was sent to take over command for a friend of his who got injured. The second he shows up they come under attack and he almost single handedly fought back the advancing Russians until he started commanding each person in his squad/group where to go and what to do to set up defensive fire. Give that man a medal and a promition.

Our US company makes artillery pieces, artillery shells and tank ammunitions. The US government buys our products, then resells them to Ukraine (by cash, but mostly by credit). Obviously the more we sell, the better it is for our business. We thus don't like the Ukrainians to change their tactic from large scale frontal attacks (that make them die more easily, but importantly also consume more of our products) to small-unit surgical operations. Actually, whether the Ukrainians are winning or losing matters little to us, as long as they consume more of our products; and thus the Ukrainian tactic of large scale frontal attacks suits our business objective better. Therefore, we hope, and in fact encourage, the Poles to participate in this Russia - Ukraine war; to put it bluntly, we prefer and encourage the enlargement of this war (the Russians must be prepared for this) Thus, the Ukrainians winning is good, but the Ukrainians losing is even better, because that would provide a good excuse for Polish troops (and possibly other NATO troops) to enter the war to help the Ukrainians. And that means we sell more of our products (and of course make more money !)

[@Ivan-wp1ne1]

Why do the APU lose so many people and equipment during attacks on the "Surovikin line": analysis of the Military Chronicle The Ukrainian offensive has slowed down so much that after a while it may turn into positional battles. Why is this happening? Have the APU reached the "Surovikin line" or not yet? The defensive structures of the "Surovikin line" along the entire length are built along the dominant heights and ridges. The defense is installed at a depth of 25-30 kilometers. Several separate protective zones have been erected between the defensive lines. In zone No. 1, closer to the front, there is an advanced line of defense consisting of several dozen platoon and company strongpoints. Those Ukrainian units that managed to break through the minefields came across these areas with a huge number of ATGMs and surveillance equipment. Between the advanced fortified area and the main line of defense there are about 25 kilometers of minefields, anti-tank ditches and other structures, it is almost impossible to break through them. The only achievement of the APU offensive at the moment is the advance in the "gray zone" - an area that does not affect the combat capability of Russian troops. At the same time, artillery and aircraft from the depths of the "Surovikin line" strike the advancing Ukrainian troops long before the main forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine approach not only to the front line of protection, but also to minefields. What is wrong with the advance of the APU to the "Surovikin line"? Despite the transfer of German Leopard-2 tanks and hundreds of Soviet-type tanks to the offensive area, Ukrainian formations interact poorly with each other. Often they engage in battle in an unfamiliar area, without coordinating actions with neighboring units, without up-to-date intelligence information and without fire support, as well as without centralized management. In a number of cases, instead of units prepared for the assault, mechanized brigades that had already lost parts of heavy equipment were thrown to break through to the front line of the guard. The main task of such units is to occupy captured positions and hold them, as well as to clean up pockets of resistance, and not to storm positions controlled by the enemy. Such cases are not uncommon due to the shortage of experienced commanders who die during strikes on command posts of battalions and brigades. Due to misunderstanding of the situation and incorrect orders, elite units, such as the 137th and 88th battalions of the 35th Marine Brigade, as well as units of the 37th Infantry Brigade of the AFU, are suffering particularly heavy losses. These formations advanced to the assault of the advanced guard lines exclusively on light vehicles - Oshkosh M-ATV and HTSV Wolfhound armored vehicles, as well as French AMX-10RC - equipment not suitable for breaking through echeloned defense. The scheme with the creation of local, seemingly safe paths, but essentially representing a fire bag has already been used by the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation both during the battles in the Sukhoi Stavka area in the Kherson region, as well as in the "Bakhmut meat grinder", a hand in the creation of which was also applied by General Surovikin. What losses did the APU have in the offensive and what reserves remained? During the 17 days of the offensive, the losses of the AFU amounted to approximately 17-20 battalions killed and wounded, which is equivalent to 16 thousand people or five brigades of 3,500 people each. In total, about 5 brigades out of 9 trained and equipped according to NATO standards were allegedly involved in the APU offensive, which means that more than half of the reserves prepared for the strike have already been destroyed. In fact, the "Surovikin line" is gradually becoming a "second Bakhmut" for the Ukrainian army - more and more troops are needed for combat operations in this area, which, in addition to sending reserves, have to be removed from the front in Limansk, Kupyansk and other directions.

Respect to that Russian soldier for having balls of steel running up to the trench throwing the grenade

[@1GTX1]

I remember this video, it was near the road going towards Khromove and Bakhmut, both sides lost the same trench few times

[@Nikolaievich9837]

@@1GTX1 the fighting around Bakhmut is like a tug of war one side pushes then the other side counterattacks and the other side counter attacks again and just keeps repeating. That’s been mostly the fighting in Klecheevka however Russia is inflicting much more losses on Ukraine because of the artillery numerical advantage.

russians cannot be convinced of anything, no matter what facts you give them, no matter what logical arguments you tell them, they will still repeat their zombie manuals, Because their zombie television said so. The conclusion is simple - russia must be destroyed and divided into areas of responsibility, like Nazi Germany after the end of World War II.

Bruce Tucker asks ".... how the leadership of your company has the slightest effect on decisions being made in Moscow or Kyiv, or even Washington." -- Not sure of Moscow. But with Washington and Kyiv ? Easy ! Money, Money ! I have money, lots of money ! I (we, the company owners, the capitalists, the corporate directors, ....) CONTROL this country (USA)'s MONEY; we use lots of money to influence the politicians, the bankers, the generals, .... to get our ways. In extreme cases when our Business-Profit is at risk, we could use our money to hire people to do virtually ANYTHING we want; there're always enough people who are desperate for money, and do whatever we ask of them. Remember the assassination of President John F Kennedy along with nearly the whole family of Saigon puppet regime's president Ngo Đinh Diêm ? Try to remember how they presented obstruction or potential obstruction to the enlargement of the American war in Vietnam (that is, thousands of billion dollars to make), then you'd see my point.

This support of Ukraine people from USA is one of the best feats they have ever done... also it was the best investment in the history... it costed surplus weapons to destroy russian army... lol

[@branislavspasojevic7432]

@@martinja9953 Rusku vojsku je nemoguce unistiti kao ni Americku, ni Kinesku ni bilo ciju. No siguran sam da to nije bila dobra investicija jer vidimo da Amerika gubi dominaciju u svetu, dolar gubi svoju snagu i uticaj u svetu, da je energija sve skuplja a da je Rusi imaju u izobilju. Niko nikada nije pobedio Ruse pa nece ni nato. Hitler je imao mocnu vojsku cele Evrope i Rusi su ga rasturili.
