Russia's Avdiivka Disaster - Invasion of Ukraine During the Gaza Crisis

In this comprehensive video update, we delve into the latest developments in the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. As the autumn transitions into winter, the Ukrainian military faces new challenges, and their efforts to counter Russian advances are under scrutiny.
The video explores the strategic dynamics of this conflict, detailing how both Ukrainian and Russian military forces have adapted to the changing conditions. We examine the Ukrainian counteroffensive operations and the formidable obstacles they encounter in the Zaporizhia oblast. Despite their determination, achieving a decisive breakthrough remains elusive, as they grapple with Russian minefields and well-fortified defensive positions.
The narration highlights the various fronts in this war, from the Dnipro River to North Luhansk and Donbas. It discusses the intense battles and counterattacks taking place, shedding light on the successes and setbacks faced by both sides. Notably, we analyze a major Russian offensive in the Avdiivka section and the subsequent Ukrainian response, which inflicted significant losses on the Russian army.
The video also delves into the critical aspect of international support for both Ukraine and Russia. We assess the contributions of several countries, especially Western allies, in terms of military aid and assistance, emphasizing the focus on bolstering Ukraine's air defense capabilities for the upcoming winter.
Furthermore, the video touches on the complexities of international diplomacy, including the impact of the conflict between Israel and Hamas on the allocation of resources and aid to Ukraine. We discuss the concerns and challenges regarding the continuation of military support for Ukraine, particularly in the face of changing priorities in Washington.
Lastly, the video provides an insightful breakdown of the visually confirmed losses of equipment suffered by both sides, as reported by the Oryx blog, offering a quantitative perspective on the conflict's toll.
Join us as we analyze the ongoing Ukraine conflict, providing you with a well-rounded understanding of the current situation, the strategic intricacies, and the international factors at play. Stay informed and up-to-date on this pressing global issue.

Seems like every modern war without either side having air superiority will end in a stalemate...

[@raetekusu1]

That's where the delayed effect of US fighter jets will come into play. Pilots need to be trained on them which will take time, but when the F-16s enter the skies, they should tip the scales in favor of Ukraine in terms of air superiority. Ukraine first and foremost needs to hold out until then. The war's not won just because of shiny new old planes, war ebbs and flows and Russia can always find a way to turn it around, but if they're in a stalemate now, what will better equipment do for Ukraine when it finally starts getting deployed?

It should also be worth mentioning, the republicans tried for 5 months to get a budget passed with Ukraine aid included and the democrats unanimously voted against it each time, it wasn't until the republicans removed the aid as a line item that the democrats voted for it, and then promptly voted to remove the speaker, which has completely stalled all budget and aid talks. So while yes some of the republicans favor isolationist policies it was the democrats that held up aid and then made it impossible to continue talks to get a budget and more aid flowing while blaming it on the republicans. Classic democrat behavior blame the other side for the problems you created.

Why does it seem like Russia is always at a disadvantage in K&G comparisons?

[@ts5924]

Cause K&G is not neutral. Same with the title, it is not a disaster, as of now, the Russians are actually succeeding in taking that trash heap.

[@ryanoglesbee1075]

Because they are. They practically never see any victories in offensive movements, except for the few weeks before outside aid started to reach Ukrainian military. Even then it took them how long to take mariopal, which was completely isolated for weeks. They've also lost numerous ships to a country with no navy, and resorted in weaponizing energy resources. Now they're selling Oil (their largest economic export) at record low prices. Doesn't really scream "advantageous" to me

[@kurteisner67]

​@@ts5924I like how it went from "Kiev in three days" to "Yes! We took the northern part of the trash heap North of Avdiivka in only 9 years!" Also, K&G clearly DID show Russia advancing towards that trash heap. But the losses Russia suffered in that attack are absolutely insane in comparison to that territorial gain.

[@ts5924]

@@kurteisner67 I'm neutral in this conflict so I'm not saying that. And the territorial gain Russia had this year is more than Ukraine during the counter offensive. Do you have numbers on casualties? Don't speak if you don't know. The trash heap is not a disaster but a win, having the hights and no more bombing donestk . Twisting it otherwise is spewing propaganda.

[@kurteisner67]

@@ts5924 "[...] I'm not saying that." Fair enough. I also didn't mean to imply you did, sorry if it came off this way. I rather wanted to mock Russian ultranationalist talking points. "having the hights [sic!] and no longer bombing Donetsk" Neither is true though? Ukraine's still in Avdiivka, supply is still getting there, the Russian plan to encircle hasn't worked (at least, so far). Neither has the plan to cut them off from re-supplying. I mean, I don't disagree that the ground gained by the Russian Forces on the trash heap is a small tactical and strategic win from a territorial perspective, but was it really worth the massive losses? "Do you have numbers on casualties?" Do you mean manpower or equipment? The equipment part is explained in this very video. Particularly Oryx has been proven to be very reliable in these matters as a baseline, since they visually verify virtually every piece of equipment lost before reporting on that (which of course leads to underreporting, but bulletproof evidence for the _lowest_ reasonable numbers). As for manpower, there's literally no way to know, not for me, not for anyone. I don't claim to either. We could of course make some educated guesses,.but that's about it.

[@mat3714]

Algorithm

[@ericsaul9306]

I think it has more to do with the fact that armored vehicles like tanks are now just used as mobile artillery to support the front from some distance, truth it's that all modern armored vehicles are incredibly vulnerable, they can be killed by almost everything on the battlefield, from drones to portable rockets to mines to planes to helicopters to even precision artillery, so rapid movements like on WW2 are just suicide, the Russians are learning this the hard way, but also when the sword becomes too sharp and the shield does not cover you, trenches are the results

[@chadwolf5596]

[@CondonDonova-gg6bk]

I wish your information on this conflict wasn’t so heavily biased. It’s a shame because your channel covers so many other conflicts so well. Pretty sure you could’ve titled this “Ukraines Disaster”, as again they’re losing quite a bit more men than the Russians in this battle.

[@scottkrater2131]

Is that why you still haven't gained ground in months? Against 'old men, children and women'.

[@ADPax10]

I completely agree. Reporting is lopsided. Barely any coverage of Russian gains or Ukraine asset losses. They're very unbiased about wars of the past (especially the further back we go), but as far as this present conflict, I can't help but feel slightly propoganized.

For who? Oh yeah Ukrainians. 🤮

[@swordsmith2576]

What we need to remember is that the Ukrainian army does not have the luxury of combined arms assault as they lack sufficient aircraft to combine with artillery and armor to achieve their breakthrough offensive we have hoped. Our own experience against a sovereign state was Iraqi Freedom in 2003 and the Iraqi military had poor equipment and morale. The Ukrainians have good morale and motivation, and understand the importance of preserving their tanks and armored vehicles from the minefields the Russians laid out. Reports suggest the Ukrainian infantry have made progress in the second line of Russian defense, and commando raids in Crimea and Russian naval targets shows they are creative. The arrival of fighter jets should help in the air war against Russia, and provide close air support for the infantry. This need for air support is the reason that cluster munitions are being used.

[@BalloonInTheBalloon]

The reason for using cluster munitions is that the west simply cannot produce enough ordinary shells, hence the US having to retrieve some of it's strategic stockpiles in Israel to send it to Ukraine. Contrary to western doctrine Russia outproduces the west by 7-1 in artillery shells. (source: Business Insider, September 2023). Another field where the Russians trump the west is that of missile technology and Air-defence and that too is due to military doctrine, that's why Russia (and the Soviets) who could not match NATOs navy and airforce instead opted for submarines, anti-ship and anti-air missiles. A rock-paper-scissors situation. IMO Ukraine did the right thing to switch to smaller infantry unit tactics - a tactic the Russians haven't trained for decades to counter. . Will it be enough? I doubt it, but we'll see. But no-one can take away the Ukrainians bravery and creativity on the battlefield

[@swordsmith2576]

@@BalloonInTheBalloon if they receive the fighter jets and additional helicopters for close air support it should make it easier to advance. If they are saving the tanks for the areas after the final defensive line and the Russians lack a strategic reserve, then the advance should be much better.

[@Rellana1]

It greatly depends what the Ukrainians get to go along with their f-16's as well,in the terms of weapons. There's a large amount of air-launched weapons that could be supplied,and we have very little idea what the U.S is willing to give.

Coupled with the fact that Russia has had plenty of time to dig in, and the west late delivery of armored vehicles/tanks, counter offensive was doomed to stall.

[@fnorgen]

It was obvious for a reason though. It was the only front where even a partial success would have resulted in meaningful strategic gains by pressuring some of the most vital Russian supply lines. Putting some blue paint on the map up north would have been satisfying, but it wouldn't have changed the overall situation much. If anything it would just have made the northern front more difficult to supply in the long run by bulging it deep into Russian held territory. Through somewhat rugged terrain no less!

In fact all the small gains with a high price are now being undone and Avdiivka is now in operational encirclement with russia having firecontrol everywhere in every direction bc they comtrol the heights around the "fortress" city and are also making gains their everyday with it bring closer and closer to official encirclement with nowhere to go for the soldiers and the russians are at the same time also slowly chipping away at the city in the south wich means while the noose is tightening for ukraine russia is also putting pressure on it

[@ultimaratio7373]

the West giving in to "war fatigue" seems unthinkable. As long as ukrainians are willing and able to resist, Western support will be forthcoming. Unfortunately the amount of aid provided sofar has barely been enough to give Ukraine a slight advantage, but not sufficient to decisively turn the tables on the battlefield.

[@rightwoke]

SENT tons of aid. Just keeps disappearing somehow. No idea how thos can happen as according to some channels, like this one, Ukraine losses have been so light. There has appeared, in Canada, lots of fighting age Ukrainian male refugees. Don't know how that happened, but the few I've spoken with have no desire to go back and rebuild. The Ukrainian women who have come are finding Canadian men and arranging to stay. Canada has announced special fast track to citizenship for them and all I know are taking advantage of that. I have to wonder what they are fighting for as everyone I meet doesn't want to return and looks forward to a new life in the west. So yeah. I'm wondering why send all this aid when the refugees I have met don't seem to care much.

[@jeremywerner9489]

Honestly, the only actual 'war fatigue' is coming from right-wing pieces of shit intentionally undermining the long-term national interests of the country both domestic and foreign. These same undermining elements keep spewing lies and misinformation about the entire situation, including what our foreign aid actually 'costs' us.

[@atanasorama]

Bullshit

[@captainharlock3998]

More and more voices against sending more help in USA, UK, even Germany. Slovakia announced it stopped sending help, as well as Hungary and Poland, and they'll stop sooner rather than later. No, there is absolutely no certainty that the West will keep sending enough help to Ukraine. It's not about the will to fight, but the West also weights if Ukraine stands a chance to make progress, or if they'd be better suing for peace. More and more countries start to see the later, rather than the first option.

[@ultimaratio7373]

@@captainharlock3998 The pro-Kremlin voices are by and large marginal in Europe, with some notable exceptions like Hungary and Slovakia. A majority of the population support Ukraine, in some cases more than 90% (Poland, Baltic & Nordic countries) as do all major political parties, because there is a deep historical memory of Russian/Soviet aggression. Certainly, many of those countries would have to fear for their own security, if Russia were to prevail in Ukraine. There's a general consensus across the political spectrum to provide support in those countries, in Sweden for example, all political parties are behind it.

if a drone is designed to ram into something and blow up is that considered a loss when it does that, or only a loss if destroyed before it can do that?

Those drones are not counted, I think. The list has only the Bayraktar type drones which have their own weapons or heavy recon drones like Russian Orion.

[@a12shotman]

I'm not 100%, but I think the drone losses are like reaper drones, or maybe even the smaller quadcopters they use to scout and drop nades on one another, not the suicide drones that are essentially controllable bombs.

All you keep hearing is how Russia doesn’t care about their men exactly they don’t because they have much deeper barrel then Ukraine. It’s literally a military strategy when you have more men then the enemy you throw as many men as you have too to kill theirs because you can replenish them faster then the enemy

[@Adam89111]

The thing is while this channel did their best to stay neutral, in the first episode the channel pledge its allegiance to Ukraine. So the news will feel biased towards Ukraine, even though Russian are indeed back at the offensive and Ukraine are indeed back on the defense. I'm not support Ukraine or the other, I only want to know the news from the front, but the thing is this is one of the best channel for covering the Ukrainian war, even with some words clearly twisted to support to other. So take some words with a little bit of salt, including Ukraine gain, Russian failure, and when he said 'according to some Russian blogger' is more like people who comment on the Facebook or something that mention some narrative that they support. But I'm not against this channel or anybody (please don't burn me for this) its just what I learn when watching this type of news, is that it will try to be biased towards some group and that's ok. People that making this channel are humans too. Again I'm not supporting the war, I don't take sides I just want to know what happen in the front.

@@TfJedisuper if you twist his, the writer of this video, twist his meaning hard enough and then assume the gaetz group are relatively speaking the farthest right in the GOP and therefore by definition extreme then we can pretend you have a point. we can pretend don’t see what is obvious. He, the writer, is using the phrase extreme right as an insult and in the same propaganda type way the media does. It’s only ever used as a perforative to paint someone as negative without having to defend why. This is standard tactic of the letarded nowadays. They throw labels instead of arguments. I don’t know if you are sincere or not with this comment TfJedisuper, but this is not first or last leftarded take in otherwise he’ll made comment. I would put forward only the “extreme far left” even use this phrase, so it says more about the writer than it doesn’t about the congressmen. Matt Gaetz doesn’t self identify as extreme right, it’s bullshit smear merchant nonsense from Top to bottom.

[@TfJedisuper]

@@shanekennedy5420 I see your point, but I would say it’s fair that the trump wing of the party is broadly the furthest right on most issues - if you feel that’s good or bad is irrelevant - so to brand them as the far right of the party is accurate, but to go into detail about why that is utterly irrelevant to the content of the video. That same wing is also the most vocal about ending aid to Ukraine, so I don’t see this as some wild smear job or distortion of facts and certainly nothing so egregious as to call it propaganda . Extreme certainly adds a negative connotation, but IMO it’s at best a jab from the video’s creator and/or writer who has made no secret of their general support for Ukraine in this conflict, or quite possibly a broad but still basically accurate summary of the situation from a non-American who isn’t clued in or overly interested in the minutia of our political landscape.
