In our prior episode we explored the True Size of Russia's Defenses in Ukraine ( • How Tough Are They? Th... ). This involved a review of both the macro and micro features of the Surovikin Line. In this episode we discuss what it will take to defeat them. This begins with general game theories of attack and defense as well has high level strategic moves which must be considered to increase one's chances of success. Ultimately however the battle must be fought. To this end we cover the playbook for modern breaching operations.

It looks that way, yes. Ukraine is (very sensibly) keeping quiet about their losses but if the few slips they've made are accurate - and they have 300,000 casualties* - then it looks like it's all over for them. * unclear if that was just the counter-offensive or the whole war. Russia claims 120,000 Ukrainian deaths in the counter-offensive alone, but have obvious interest in playing that up.

[@kharnthebetrayer8251]

​@ilmari1452 I don't think it's all over. Ukraine are still managing for the most part, and making small gains. The difficult part is that the Western countries are losing interest in providing aid, which they need to counter the size difference between Ukraine and Russia. They're in a position that the West won't provide aid unless they get successes, but Ukraine can't really get successes without aid. So they're not in a great position, but it's not done just yet

Ukraine can use a higher percentage of its population with less risk of demonstrations against the government.

[@lightworker2956]

That's actually more or less realistic. simplicius76 on substack is an amazing source for the Russian - Ukraine war, and the number of Russian vs Ukranian soldiers are actually somewhat close. The problem in Ukraine isn't endless hordes of Russian soldiers. The problem in Ukraine is that Russian soldiers are more highly trained (because Ukranian soldiers die all the time, and the current crop of Ukraine's soldiers are often 60 year olds or pregnant women taken off the street and sent to the front after a month of training). And Russia has something like a 10 : 1 artillery advantage. And Russia has advantages in tanks, airplanes, helicopters, drones, anti-air, electronic warfare, missiles, mine-laying, mobile emergency care for soldiers and basically everything.

[@VarietyGamerChannel]

Russia has not even mobilized for general warfare apart from a regional mobilization of reserves back in march. Ukraine has undergone multiple general mobilizations including total mobilization. Most Russians aren't even feeling the conflict, ukraine as a whole is on a total war footing. @@v.Toro.

[@v.Toro.]

@@VarietyGamerChannel the Russians are definitely feeling the conflict lol. The main difference between the two is that there is a much higher cost for Russia to mobilize men than in Ukraine - national unity is strong in Ukraine and extremely fragile in Russia (think Wagner revolt and the local support it received) You're very wrong about mobilization, even St. Petersburg and Moscow are feeling that. I've received first person accounts for that, from upper class citizens. - it's not just the minority regions, which again, risks further fracturing the federation because these regions are thinly held to be loyal to Moscow. Because of this, Ukraine and Moscow are on par with how many people they can bring to the fight. (Again Ukraine is much more willing to defend its homeland : they've seen firsthand the genocidal behavior of Moscow, they won't just give in) Ukraine has been slowly winning as we've seen, the only thing that will change that is if support from allies ends. Putin has gone all in on that wager. He has plants and kompromats throughout the west so it's possible. e.g. in the US it's the Trump cult who also regularly threatens insurrection but at the very least cutting support for US allies. 👈 are Putin's hope otherwise it becomes time for Rus to seek a peace treaty

reportedly yet to be committed? i thought everyone knows the 82nd was supposed to be the reserve and it had been committed weeks ago thats why there are challenger2 destroyed on the field as they are the only unit that field them. yes, ukraine has other forces available but those were not the forces allocated for this counter offensive. a lot of people knew back in june this would end in failure, including myself, many said ukraine should call off the attack back then. honestly i dont understand why its worth discussing how to breach the russian line, ukraine has exhausted their troops, and advancing power, they spent nearly 4 months just to see the first russian line, and the russians kept fortifying all these time. russians been holding these lines and positions with mostly second tier troops and made ukraine work for every single village, VILLAGE. most of their superior troops are positioned just behind the main lines. its likely that the russians may start an offensive in winter, or early next year. ukraine simply ran out all their offensive potential. when urkaine retook kharkiv, the russians were under man, they didn't build a line or lines, but since then, they learnt from their mistakes and mobilized, according to them, 300K men, and built the line that stopped the ukrainian army. lets see what will happen.

Communication and initiative is so important, even at lower levels without any additional support. I'm fortunate enough to never have been to a war zone, but this is visible even in airsoft. Playing with old, fat, but trained conscripts is far easier than trying herd around young saplings scared shitless by even plastic pellets. Basic maneuvering is impossible, and acting on opportunities is a dream.

[@kerkonig5102]

​Exactly. thats why its is so incredibly importatn for a competent army to aktualy take prisoners and treat them at least decent. If the ukranians where the same kinds of monsters the russans prove to be then the war would look very different. Becosue then the russians too would think "well surrender is not an option so my highest chance of survival is if we actually kil all enemys" but as it stands now, even with russa doing its best to keep there troops from retreating, the amount of russians that surrender is high. This coimment is more aimed at the 16 year old edglords who are like "why should sodiers treat a enemy htat commits attrocities decntly, just kill them and take no prisoners, they deserve it" becosue remember, every enemy that surrenders is a enemy that no longer shoots at you and every enemy that thinks about surrendering is a enemy that dosen't realy aim that precisely anymore. While he thinks about stoping to shoot at all. The reason why insurgents usaly don't surrender is that even if they do, they will not get out of there country. Meaning at some point they are released, in ther country, and are target to revenge actions from there former commrads. Simply becouse insurectionists usaly view surrender as a kind of betrayal. and the punishment for that is mostly torture. But as long as there are survivors off insurgent asults on millitary units they will think about the option of retreat. If there aren't any survivors of such attacks, or only a very few, then they will start thinking "well it doen't matter if I try to runn I die anyways, so I might as well continue shooting"

Great video! On the point of complexity and fog of war. It was actually stated that both Ukraine and Russia have a amazing idea of how the battlefields are going and looks due to constant drone surveillance (This still doesn't mean perfect like a video game might). But it has opened up new problems for both side. That being tanks can't advance nearly as close any more because it can be spotted by drones and an artillery firing solution can be calculated and the tank destroyed before becoming a threat. This and so many other aspects has lead to effectively a stalemate. Because something that is forgotten a lot is that Russia has air superiority. Ukraine has great anti-air assets which in turn create another stalemate. This is the theater on which modern warfare is changing once again. Previous strategies are reduced in their effectiveness and new strategy and tactics have to be implemented and even technology has to adapt. This war is one that unfortunately is going to be slow and bloody, with a cost that measured in miles once more.

Seeing the hopeful comments by people hoping that Ukrainians will break through the Russian defences, all I can say to that is end that hope strategy (Yes that is a term seeing the entire Ukraine offensive was basically that) as real experts put it. This video gives a good general idea on how Ukraine can theoretically breakthrough but it lacks actual substance. What do i mean by the hope strategy? The experts from guys like New Atlas, Andrei Matrynov, Douglas Mcgregor, Scott Ritter and along a few others have consistently stated that Ukraine and its NATO sponsors operated on the assumption of a few things (too many assumptions by AFU and NATO i've been following them since the start of the SMO ill just state the general gist so u guys can understand ): They thought the Russians will simply melt away as they thought they will during their kharkov counter offensive (Didn't add Kherson since the Russians voluntarily withdrew to the other side of the bank as they rightly proved when Ukraine blew the dam with himars). What those Ukrainian and NATO officers forget is that the Russian army during their Kharkov offensive on that sector was basically so few that only dpr and lpr forces was apparently stationed there a couple thoudand only against tens of thousands of AFU. Naturally the Russians retreated fast and didn't bother trying to defend such an undermanned area with almost no defenses considering the Russian army at that time basically consisted of only around 60k plus active frontline troops out of 250 to 300k. And of those 30k men were apparently on Kherson area. Naturally the Ukrainians won with high morale though they paid a stepped price. They lost tens of of thousands of men on both kharkov and Kherson front. If your wondering how the AFU lost so much it's because they rushed out in the open where artillery and drones picked them off non stop until they met a solid defence where their offensive stopped. This costly victory will have a consequence as this lead the AFU and NATO to get really high and kept saying we will have vacation on the crimea right after they attack towards Melitopol. They forgot that Russia finally mobilized and got on some war footing exceptionally well that it doesn't even hurt their civilian industry (A western report stated that). This mobilization, rapid building of arms and the fact the Russia has been actively building defences even way before the AFU launched their kharkov and kherson attack, meant this time there will be no staged retreat as they have the men to actually be in the frontline to actively contest every single AFU advances.

@@e_x_c_u_b_i_t_o_r_ejiysb7169 The ukrainians made two fatal mistakes - underestimated their enemy and waited for their enemy to dig in good. If they kept throwing some random units constantly just to harass the engineers and buy time for their assault units to train and equip, the result might've been different today. They decided to disengage active advance and send their troops to train half an year, all the while the russians had time to prepare by the book defence and bring in reinforcements to fill in the defence.

[@huntclanhunt9697]

Ukraine has already attempted these tactics. The problem is, they don't have air supperiority. As a result, Ukraine gets spotted from the air and hammered via artillery and air strikes whenever they attempt to manuever large numbers of troops into position. Furthernore, Russia has been effectively using defense in depth tactics. Ukraine has been bogged down by picket lines and smaller, mobile defenses hidden among trees and small trenches, which have delayed them for 3 months with heavy losses tp the point that they're just now reaching the main line. They've also lost a lot of their best troops and vehicles while clearing out these less important outer layers.

[@monadsingleton9324]

The whole problem with this video is that it is premised on obsolete, WWII-era maneuver warfare. Russian defense-in-depth warfare (which they are the masters of) combined with innovative ISR tactics effectively neutralizes any and all attempts by the Ukrainians to make major strategic movements against Russian defenses.

I think it’s time for Ukraine to take that step to end this, Russia has already tried many times! And someone going to have to force Ukraine to the negotiating table! Best way to do that is to stop sending weapons to them, so they can’t continue to fight! (The civilians of Ukraine and the DOR and LPR and Russian Crimea and Russia itself would appreciate this) I’m sure there sick of being bombed and shot by Ukrainian forces on purpose, then they blame Russia for it! (Unlike the Russian forces who killed civilians on accident) The quickest way for this to end is to negotiate and make a peace that both sides can agree on!

And unlike Russians, AFU is much more diligent in not using CMs near civilian areas and record their use and location…stop with the misinformation and fear-mongering! 🙄 Russia has been using CMs since day one, didn’t see any outrage til now 🙄🤦🏼‍♂️

The video gails to capture: 1) there is practically no fog of war, due to 2-4 drones doing intelligence gathering 2) Russia has coordinates for thier trenches, so once they are breached, russians quickly retreat and shell thier positin. 3) Any big Ukraines force gathering is hit with cheap guided bombs due to air superiority 4) Requirements for UA to show progress or they will meet a support cut, thus suicidal attack for little to no gain 5) Remote mine field creation was utterly skipped in the video, which provides constant pain for armored assualts. 6) UA being unable to use mine clearing viehcles, because they simply get hit first, so they stopped using them. 7) Russians allowing the disembarked troops to leave thier carriers befor destorying the vehicle and effectively living them to die trapped/surrender, because they will be shelled. Honestly, with the lack of AA support, almost non-existent air support and Requirements from "their allies" to achieve progress....I don't know how they can win.

From the NATO perspective, there's no gain in Ukraine winning.

I'm not a big fan of Games Theory. Once removed from the simulation environment, it so far needs an additional 18 theories to hold it up in the real world. It still has a few flaws in it created by the assumption that both players want to win. What if a player only wants to play for a draw? The battle of Verdun in WW1 is a historical example of this. The German plan was to keep the battle to bleed the French white. Winning the battle for the Germans was not in their interest. Rather, they needed to keep the battle going to create French casualties going. The Germans failed in implementation as they took nearly as many casualties. The meat grinder needs to be one-sided to work. Game theory does not consider that one player wishes to lose a battle. The counterattack would certainly consider the loss of the first battle. It is to start creating casualties and resource consumption in the attacker. Battle is lost, and the defender withdraws. The attacker must keep contact, ensuring the defender does not create a new defence line. The defender is actually funnelling the attacker into a battle of annihilation that the counterattack is aiming for. This is similar to the game of chess, where a piece is sacrificed to create an advantage that is greater than the loss. Politics, religion, and culture must also be heavily considered as well. Many people are happy to die for politics and religion. With this war, it must be remembered the Soviet culture ingrained into both Ukraine and Russia. Historically Soviet culture is prepared to endure crippling casualties to win. This brings us to the final flaw in games theory in that it expects the losing player to accept their loss. In WW2, both Germany and Japan refused to accept that they had lost. This just extended the misery for up to 6 months. While in WW1, the Germans could see that they had lost and requested an armistice, saving thousands of lives. On the other hand, game theory impeded into a simulation is a great way to teach the fundamentals. You did a great job here, especially getting the basics across with historical examples to help digest them. I look forward to your next instalment.

[@MrPooky-jl6oz]

Game theory is about making strategic decisions based on the outcomes of different actions. While yes it can be more theoretical than practical it does not expect the losing player to not accept their loss. It's about evaluating the current position and making the best choice possible. In the case of Japan the best choice was surrendering as there was just no hope in winning against atom bombs and taking another path would simply result in unnecessary damage. Germany didnt surrender until hitlers death due to unique cultural reasons to the time period (very basically extreme nationalism and the want to restore Germany former glory) Not surrendering and extending the damage was the irrational choice for both Germany and Japan. (basically game theory says they should have surrendered or else they would end up in a worse position. Plus surrendering earlier probably gives them more leverage over the terms of surrender)

A braindead take that doesn't even consider the obvious from earlier events of this same war. Ukrainians announced their offensive before and succeeded despite everyone's skepticism.

What's stopping them is not disclosing a massively obvious intention, but the russian defensive lines built by a semi-reasonable russian commander whose name we don't mention once he felt his offensive capabilities were largely exhausted.

[@chrishoff402]

Rule of thumb in war is the attacker must outnumber the defender by an absolute minimum of 3 to 1 over perfectly flat, open, unprepared ground. Across a river or rough terrain the minimum goes up to a minimum of 6 to 1, against cities and mountains 10 to 1. Force multipliers like tanks, artillery, air support, naval support and drones can shift the odds to a degree, but those odds are the minimums. The Ukraine population has fallen to 18 million in country vs 145 million Russians, attacking against a defender that outnumbers you by a minimum of 3 to 1 is suicide. In order for Ukraine to successfully attack Russia, they have to do so in a completely out of the box, novel manner with either a totally new type of weapon system or a less commonly used weapon system available in enormous numbers but employed in an unconventional way. It has to be done employing the element of surprise, with sufficient speed that the Russian defenses are unable to react in time. If I was in charge of the Ukraine military, and I had just received 33 Billion dollars over 1 year ago, I would have placed an order to be filled in 1 year for 5000 AT-802U Sky Wardens. They can take off and land from a hastily prepared roughly flat dirt runway of only 400 meters length, there should be plenty of land that meets that description just outside the Russian exclusion zone but within striking distance of their air defenses, with the qualifier they have concealment sufficient for 1 crop duster. Sky Wardens come in kits, can be disassembled, smuggled into position one piece at a time and reassembled in a day, along with fuel and ordinance. They can carry 60% the loadout of a A-10. During the year they're being built, train the aircrews on simulators and crop dusters across the planet, even with firefighting crews as cover, because that's how their used in a civilian role. When the time for the attack comes, all 5000 launch at the same time in a low level assault to destroy the Russian air defenses in and around Ukraine, then go on to crater the Russian airfields. Losses would be huge, but once Russian air defenses and air power are suppressed for at least a week or two, there's plenty of time for the survivors to degrade Russian artillery, armor, drone and missile batteries, logistics. It would be more in keeping with the Japanese kamikaze attacks on the U.S. Pacific fleet during WW2. Notice the ground defenses, the minefields, artillery kill zones, entrenchments and bunkers are dead last in order of priority, completely bypassed. When their supporting elements in the rear are defeated they are no more useful than the Maginot line in 1940.

[@jakubchalupa8510]

18 million? More like 37 million, compared to 44 million pre-war.

[@lightworker2956]

​@@jakubchalupa8510 I'm not sure I agree with 18 million. I think 25 million Ukranians is about right. Millions of Ukranians have fled, and also millions of Ukranians are in territory that's now occupied by Russia. The west may claim "those lands occupied by Russia are still part of Ukraine, therefore Ukraine's population is 37 million or something" but even if that's theoretically true, Ukraine can't draft people in Russian-occupied lands. So for the purposes of how many people Ukraine has available to them, you have to subtract the millions of people living in terrain occupied by Russia. In any case, I agree with Chrishoff that Ukraine trying to breach Russian defenses in the conventional way is a losing strategy. The US would never try to breach prepared defenses without artillery + air dominance, and Ukraine has neither (in fact Russia has about a 10 : 1 artillery advantage, and also the advantage in airplanes and helicopters and anti-air). Chrishoff: it's easy to say that you should just surprise the Russians, but with modern surveillance tech, thats not happening. Kudo's on choosing an airplane that can take off from a rough dirt highway, that's a smart idea, but I think by the time those 5000 planes have arrived and you have trained 5000 pilots, Russia will have long ago seen the move coming and greatly expanded their anti-air (which is excellent, by the way). Unless you're basically suggesting that say half the US air force should surprise-attack Russia, which yes may be effective, but that's also basically WW3 instantly. Also, you can argue about the exact figure used, but one site lists one such airplane at $3 billion. So having 5000 of them would cost 5000 * 3 billion = 15 trillion. Meanwhile, Russia's yearly defense budget is around $300 billion. So yeah, sure, if you spend 50x as much as Russia's yearly defense budget you may be able to beat Russia, but where is Ukraine going to get that $15 trillion from? I think the best move for Ukraine is to engage in peace negotiations today and to accept the loss of territory. I know that's not what Ukraine wants to hear, but there's simply no way for them to win this conflict.

[@goodbodha]

The main thing this war should be teaching everyone is that the side that dominates in drone defense and drone attacks will likely do better over the long haul. I think long term as drones get better it will become much harder to keep the logistics close to the front. That is going to be the big thing going forward. If the Ukrainians want to win this war probably the best thing they can do is to attack any and all russian trucks anywhere near the front. Devise a way to have anti truck drones that can loiter on the the ground waiting well off the road. Trucks are detected, drones go into flight and connect to a drone operator who guides it into a target. No trucks. No supplies at the front. Imagine them as being mines that actively seek out vehicles rather than just mines that sit on the ground waiting for a vehicle to encounter them. When that becomes a reality vehicles will either stop making it anywhere near the front or they will have to drive along a route that is hardened against drones. Folks in Ukraine need to develop the following: 1. Drones that can be deployed well behind the enemy lines by piggy backing on another drone. 2. Those drones need to be able to go into a power saving mode on the ground or in a tree etc. while still listening for targets 3. Drones need to quickly connect to an operator when their sensors detect a possible target. 4. These drones just need to be good enough to obliterate a tire, gas tank, or radiator on a vehicle. When they can make that work then focus on making it cheaper and more prolific. When the enemy is losing multiple trucks a day in an area the troops in that area arent getting fed, arent getting ammo, arent getting evaced, and they know it so their morale will tank. Then you can attack. Sure they might still be able to call in artillery support but that just means more trucks driving around for you attack. Sure the artillery might delay things, but pretty quickly those hungry troops will cave. Now imagine that once that becomes the norm of war how in the hell do you keep a tank fueled up or how do you keep plenty of artillery shells available for the artillery piece if the logistics have to pass through the area where the drones are interdicting the trucks. You simply dont. That means artillery has to be further away and tanks are struggling to be effective break out weapons. Sure they might punch through a point of resistance, but then what? They cant go far or they will be out of fuel before they can get back to a safe refueling location. All it takes is a small drone with a small amount of explosive combined with a few minor features that can be worked out.

The Russians may have a lot more people elsewhere. They may have a lot more old equipment elsewhere, but none of that will matter if they cant get it deployed into the area of combat AND make good use of it. Will the Russians get better at drone warfare? Yes, but the Ukrainians appear to be well ahead of them on that front and getting better faster. Provided the Nato countries provide them with the drones I think Nato will end up coming out on top by learning from this war AND not having to expend a vast amount of resources to do so relative to what Russia is losing.
