[@CyanTeamProductions]

It is also rumored their defensive lines are further back and that the land the Russians took was a buffer zone essentially. This could be media cope though, I have no idea.

[@siyar-mc1xz]

To be honest in hindsight the second Ukrainian offensive was a colossal waste of manpower and equipment. The first offensive was a combination of luck, good deception and high morale. However the second one had none of these elements. The Russians knew exactly what they were up to and had months to prepare their defences.

[@BM-wf9uf]

The other issue is traitors leaked the counter offensive plans to the Russians prior to it happening.

[@flackstar007]

Sometimes a military has no choice but to push for an unsuccessful counter when it has mounting expectations from internal sources and external sources alike. The internal sources expect periodic counters in order to keep the average citizen committed to resisting the invasion. And the external sources expect periodic counters to justify to their voters that the aid was being put to use. The problem being the average citizen and voters abroad have no real concept of tactics and see the conflict purely in terms of who is attacking and who is defending. As such if the Ukrainian military avoided a costly counter, it would of cost them even more internal support and external aid and possibly could of been more damaging then not losing the offensive. A possibility of the counter offensive could of been to leverage the the attempt and overstate the loses as a means of appeasing the various stakeholders while buying time for the next real offensive. It's risky but if played well could also give external stakeholders more reason to send bigger aid packages as to preserve the value of the aid already sent and as to appease their voters for pushing a military into making a failed operation.

[@siyar-mc1xz]

@@flackstar007 I mean I agree with your reasoning but the Ukrainians don't have the manpower to be this bold. As I said the first one was an exception because they managed to deceive the Russians about their main objective whereas the direction for the second one was clear. So the Ukrainians had to overpower a numerically superior and well fortified enemy that knew that they were coming. In my opinion the second offensive was a major failure and gave Russia the initiative back. To be honest I think that Ukraine had exhausted its military capabilities after the first offensive.

[@konsyjes]

I think we should remember what led up to it. THe sequence of events. After the success in Kharkiv already the RUssians employed stalling tactics, and the Kherson operation was not as smooth as Kharkiv. And immediately the RUssians started pushing in the East. Lysichansk and then Bakhmut, sacrificing manpower for strategic initiative like at Rzhevsk, where they kept attacking Model's prepared positions for 6 months, losing 400K kia and stalling til winter. Then in winter it's Stalingrad and the Wehrmacht's momentum is broken. Meanwhile, Ukraine's hopes go from an all-time high to an impatient expectation of further victories. Under this sauce Zaluzhny publishes his list of needed weapons and equiment to continue the "streak" and when they get what they get, after losing ground in the East, after losing "fortress" Bahkmut to which significant resources were committed, now it is spring of 23 and EVERYONE is expecting them to strike. I personally think the key decision was made my Zelensky. I think Zaluzhny, as well as many advisers abroad, might have decided differently, but they were all overruled. THe divergence between Zelensky and Zaluzhny also becomes noticeable at this point. Of course history has no conditional tense...

[@LEFT4BASS]

Plus, during the first Ukrainian offensive, Ukraine was at a big manpower advantage, caught Russia by surprise, was in an offensive posture and had failed to establish air superiority. By the time of the second offensive, Russia had mobilized far more soldiers, knew where the attack was coming, gained air superiority, and was dug in for defense.

[@buinghiathuan4595]

I do think there is a fourth cause. Russia has made some improvements tactically and operationally. They have changed unit size, used armour in new ways, have improved their deployment of EW, better utilized FPVs, upgraded old dumb bombs with glide kits, and ramped up domestic production. Russia is still not an army capable of mobile warfare on multiple salients, but they are becoming more effective at attritional warfare.

[@Chickymasala]

because europe can't give what they don't have. An american sneeze can pump out more weapons in a month that many european countries combined make in a year (for many key systems it's a divide by zero error). You want to talk footing the bill? The eastern european states are pouring their arsenals into ukraine. But their economies are smaller than US states. People are pissed because the US giving a quarter of a shit would shove this war in a locker yesterday. Hell, just handing over your recycle bin of cold war retiree equipment would end this war right now.

It’s too late. Only two digits of the Western countries' main tanks have crossed over to Ukraine, and the supply of artillery ammunition is not far behind Russian production. There is still no sign of delivery of fighter planes either, despite the fact that the need for them has been crying out for two years now. And yet, the Western countries are saying that they will cut off aid if Ukraine does not produce results, or that they will not allow attacks on Russian territory, and it is very doubtful whether they are serious about supporting Ukraine.

[@isaacnorman6686]

The details doesn't really matter. None of what is sent is a deal-breaker and the Russian army also isn't exactly organised and trained well enough to quickly adopt their tactics to small changes on the battle field.

Who will operate the equipment? Russia has won the war of attrition. As soon as the initiative was lost at Kiev this became a war of attrition. For the past year and a half it has been a war of attrition. Majority of Ukrainian front line units now operate at under 50% capacity. The units around bhakmut are averaging 30-40% capacity. These breakthroughs are proving tough to impossible to plug. The equipment that is also being sent over has not been as effective as the media has made it out to be. The Abrams and Leopards are definitely superior to a T-72. It is a double edged sword however they are extremely outnumbered. It is like instances in WW2 where the Tiger tank went against a dozen Sherman’s or T-34’s and knocked several out but a few managed to break through and take the Tiger out.

[@Raguel1984]

Its actualy nothing like that. Tanks in Ukraine rarely fight other tanks, instead they are used for anti-infantry roles. Various missiles and drones are used to attack tanks. Here Abrams is not particulary better than T-72 nor is it better protected against anti-tank missiles or drones, its well armored up front but has very weak armor on top or on sides.
