[@SlackerBabel]

Russia had a massive amount of soldiers kept in reserve who hadn't seen a lot of combat. The AFU has peeled away from other fronts soldiers and equipment it can't spare, and is in effect just providing those Russian Federation reserves a few weeks of live fire exercises. They'll have losses, but less than 10%, and they'll come away much more experienced. The AFU will come away after getting near 50% casualties, and much demoralized, while losing or abandoning most of their armor and artillery. And they are both much needed elsewhere. Russia should have been better prepared for this, but part of its surprise is that the attack makes no sense. The AFU can succeed elsewhere in sending its armor into Russia, and that will be just as wasteful of them.

[@off6848]

Thats my analysis too. If all people care about is territory captured I could use utter stupidity to surprise most people in a game of Risk or whatever but it will eventually lead to a loss.

The Russians have several problems. 1. They have way fewer forces than was reported. 2. Their tactical leadership is extremely lacking especially in the battalion and company levels. 3. Their intelligence capabilities are terrible. They have no idea where the Ukrainians are building up. The Ukes are using NATO satellites to pin point Russian forces and positions. 4. The Russians have no more reserves. They are spent, and their forces are stretched out. That's why they are mobilizing. 5. Lastly, They have become too cautious.

Ukraine have right to defend itself but Russia also have same right in this case of Ukranian in Russia soil. Look some example in past wars... In Croatia indepencence war against Serbia, why was Croatia never do attack operations on Serbia soil? Because in that case Croatia was also will be agressor. Likewise, Croatia did not have a surplus of soldiers and military equipment to be wasted, like Ukraine, so all military forces had to be directed exclusively to the defense of its territory and the strengthening of forces within its borders, and not to be scattered around on military operations that divert the army from essential into non-essential positions and thereby loses military power where it is needed for defense. On the Ukrainian example, those few thousand elite soldiers with advanced military equipment who invaded the Kursk region would contribute more to the defense of Pokrovsk than to carry out such military actions, which have no sense, because the Russians will certainly not negotiate for peace until they regain their territory, and the Ukrainians regardless they can only count on unnecessary losses of the army that would be much more useful in another area.

In Kursk Oblast, the introduction of Russian army reserves halted the Ukrainian advance. Ukrainian forces were pushed back from crucial routes leading to Rylsk, Lgov, and Kurchatov. Attempts by Ukrainian troops to break through from Malaya Loknya to Kromskie Byki and to raid near Korenevo were also repelled. In Sudzha, despite their initial numerical advantage, Ukrainian forces failed to fully take control of the town. Russian forces in the eastern part managed to hold out until reinforcements arrived. As of today, Ukrainian forces have lost the initiative and are now hastily digging in to slow down the advancing Russian troops. The fighting in the region has shifted from a highly maneuverable phase to a more positional one.

[@deeem2628]

Ukrainian forces attempted an amphibious landing in what has been compared to a "Bay of Pigs" scenario, likely hoping to exploit the focus on Kursk Oblast. In the early hours of August 6, Ukraine attempted to land troops on 12 boats at the Tendrovskaya Spit. Three of the boats were sunk along with their crews, and the rest retreated. Last night, Ukrainian forces tried again, sending two boats with 12 special forces personnel to the Kinburn Spit. This landing attempt was completely destroyed

[@Jbo2000]

I assumed ukraine would attack after russia began sending T62 to the front

[@carick235]

​​@@HerrSpoons yes but after this strike Russia will be forced to allocate drastically bigger troops along the border to prevent anything similar. It can be a good thing for Ukr with less troops on the Eastern front, but also it can turn ugly if Russia decide to push some 20-30 km inside to create a buffer zone.

[@GluteSerenity]

​​​​​@@Dimension37 The keyboard strategists write down their own phantasies above after three years old SMO, my friend. Never understand the nature of atrition war's realities; Russia doesn't need to take more land in the long-run (say that in the 100 years' period); she needs to have empty fields with tiny population in the surrounding countries; she succeded in the strategic demographics level... Look at the all countries in the surrounding areas of the Russian Federation; they all lost their economic development perspectives according to the growing immigrant population crises, energy-linked crises, declining population in native peoples; economic recession like in Japan or hyper-inflation like in Turkey... Russia thinks with long-term trends, others thinks with short-term trends... Just look at Turkey's economic position (a NATO country since 1952); native population decline (1.52 population growth rate per woman); the huge immigrant crises (15 million ppl); the sticky hyper-inflation; a total decline in all areas of life... What was the starting point? The meddling to the Syrian politics in behalf of the West's interests; and facing with the Russia in Syria... The history repeats itself in Ukraine...

The age of vehicles is completely irrelevant i don't know why people keep talking like this. If it moves and carries men its 100% equal to any other modern vehicle because no modern vehicle sustains drone or ATGM hits either.

When you think about it, Kursk offensive break the argument that Ukraine is holding its sovereignty. Because if they did, they wont touch any territory that wasn't originally theirs, no matter how undefended that land is. That's the moral part. And we have past that point. Without moral ground, all that remain is might make right. And Ukraine aren't spending their (borrowed) might wisely.
