So Ukraine is basicaly out of guys in their twenties? How with such small losses of 31.K ? Those infinite-military-cemeteries Zele has forbiden filming of, might give you an answer.

[@roark8009]

No but Ukraine never had many guys in their 20's so under 25 has been exempt from mobilization. That's due to the very low birth rates 15 - 25 years ago and needing to repopulate the country after the war. Even now that would be impossible so Ukraine will be another European country who will have to import people. Since the average monthly wage is only $500 per month, probably only Africans will want to go there. Can you imagine the Ukrainian nationalists when that occurs. They already hate the Russians living in Ukraine. Germany tried to import cheap labor 30 years ago and it was a failure since the refugees mostly didn't want to work. Germany then exported their refugees sharing them with the rest of EU to fulfil vacant positions like pickpockets, pimps and drug dealers. Apparently pimping underage girls then extorting their customers forever is an excellent business model operating very successfully by Asian gangs in the UK. Most of the Ukrainians who left Ukraine will not return. Ukraine is f'd.

[@TheTruth-vi1nf]

Deep state is surprisingly accurate. Considering it's Ukranian. Indeed it's one of the sources I use. Then there is the issue I noticed where they delay reporting on battlefield results if they are not in favor of Ukraine, and over estimate Ukranian success. So like everything else I take what they say with a grain of salt. Obviously they are being influenced in some way by the Ukrainian government Yesterday I mentioned that there were many sources that were reporting Russia destroyed several F16's with Kinzal. I spent a long time researching this. As everyone knows Ukraine has made a statement saying this is not true, and Russia has made no statement what so ever on this. At least in regards to the destroyed F16's. That means I had to rely on other sources. I have seen videos of destroyed F16's and many anidotical accounts from telegram sources and some unofficial Russian ones. There are also some statements from pilots wife's in the US that indicated some loss at this Ukraine Airforce Base. I can't be 100% certain but I am ready to make a call on this. Feel l free to trash my research , if you can find any basic flaws. Russia would not have used 7 of their most advanced Kinzal missles unless they were attempting to hit some very high value assets. From my own knowledge they are 10m a piece. There were several hits becouse I saw the videos of them . That in addition to the fact that Kinzals are capable of penetrating reinforced concrete shelters for aircraft leads me to believe that it's at least 70% certain that Ukraine over the last few days has lost up to four F16's , Three SU-24s and some pilots. I stand by this.

New draftees “run away at the first shell explosion,” a commander told the British newspaper: The Ukrainian military has been so depleted by attrition that new infantry troops are often unfit for combat and flee at the first sign of fighting, the Financial Times reported on Friday. In some units, around two thirds of soldiers are reportedly killed or wounded within days of arriving at the front. Manpower shortages have plagued the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) for well over a year, according to reports in Ukrainian and Western media outlets. After multiple rounds of conscription, the average age of a Ukrainian soldier is now 45, and many of those sent to the front are unfit for combat, multiple commanders and soldiers told the British newspaper. “When the new guys get to the position, a lot of them run away at the first shell explosion,” a deputy commander fighting near Ugledar in Donetsk Region said. Another commander whose unit is attempting to hold the nearby town of Khurakove said that “some guys freeze [because] they are too afraid to shoot the enemy, and then they are the ones who leave in body bags or severely wounded.” The commanders estimated that 50-70% of new infantry troops are killed or wounded within days of starting their first rotation. Experienced soldiers “are being killed off too quickly” and replaced by older and less fit men, another commander told the Financial Times. “As infantry, you need to run, you need to be strong, you need to carry heavy equipment,” he said, adding: “It’s hard to do that if you aren’t young.” As of May, the Ukrainian military has been drafting 30,000 soldiers per month. However, AFU Commander-in-Chief General Aleksandr Syrsky admitted earlier this month that these new recruits are often sent to fight with as little as six weeks’ training. The commanders who spoke to the Financial Times said that they consider this training worthless, as many of the AFU’s instructors haven’t seen combat themselves. “Some of them don’t even know how to hold their rifles,” one officer said. “They peel more potatoes than they shoot bullets,” he complained, explaining that he had bought paintball guns in order to teach his new men how to shoot without wasting ammunition. Those who survive often go AWOL after their first rotation, while others are so shell-shocked and exhausted that they are checked into psychiatric wards, the newspaper reported. With the AFU under no legal obligation to demobilize troops, joining the army or getting conscripted is viewed by recruits as “a one-way ticket,” a ten-year veteran told the Financial Times.

[@ДмитрийСвергин]

Willie talks about the same thing so many times. That I'm coming to the conclusion that he's not capable of understanding anything. Why can't Ukraine create a line of defense now? There are two reasons why this is not possible. Firstly, there are not enough people. If the elderly and sick are at the front, where can Ukraine find enough builders to erect the necessary fortifications? This issue could be solved with the availability of a large number of construction equipment. But the available construction equipment of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is being sent to combat areas to provide urgent assistance. And there this construction equipment is destroyed. The second is the distance. It is impossible to build a large fortification covering tens of kilometers of plain with few resources. Ukraine can build several powerful fortifications. But this construction will not be a secret for the Russian army. These fortifications will simply be bypassed. It is for this reason that all the fortifications built turn out to be erected "in the wrong place". With the loss of the old line of defense, Ukraine has no chance of creating a serious line of defense. Ukraine has neither the time, nor the people, nor the resources to do this. Every army, like any serious business, has several basic ideas underlying these organizations. Today's Armed Forces were not created by specialists in the field of military tactics and strategy. The APU was created by people close to politics, propaganda and ideology. An army created by a propagandist is an army of people whose training consists mainly in indoctrination. They are trying to convince these people that they are omnipotent, that they represent an irresistible force. Their mere appearance will put the enemy to flight. Such motivation does not allow these people to cross paths with those who know about the real state of things. A propagandist is not capable of turning yesterday's farmer into a career soldier in a few months. No one is capable of such a thing. It takes years to become a career soldier. A propagandist can create a fanatic. It is for this reason that Zelensky could not allow the mixing of warring units and trained ones. That is why the Kursk direction was necessary for the newly mobilized.

Conscription is also about culture. Finland didn't gave up conscription model after the cold war like most of the european countries and Finland still has the highest willingness to defend one's own country in Europe. The finnish conscripts also perform very well in large multinational exercises against other countries professional troops. One reason for this is that by using conscription you also get to utilise the expertises of your population: for example the most of finnish medic officers are medical doctors by trade, people in logistic can be truck drivers by civial trade, and in generally the reserve officers have very high percentage of people with higher education.

[@Barmalay-hc1rt]

Freezing the war along the existing front line or along the borders of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions is not the most likely scenario. There's a lot of talk about it but nobody really wants it, the US didn't start this war to stop it, Europe and Ukraine are not asked what they want. The Ukrainian power is maintained solely by the war, and Europe can and would like to finish but the suzerain will not allow it. And in fact, the most important thing is that Russia does not need a freeze on the war, Russia understands very well that any freeze will mean deception and big problems in the future. This has already happened with the Minsk agreements. No tanks, planes or long-range missiles can save Ukraine and a direct NATO intervention (if it were to happen) would not displace the war from Ukrainian territory either. It's not a Russian-Ukrainian war, it's a war of the Global South against the Global West, it's unknown which of them will win in the end but for Ukraine it will be bad anyway.

[@RiseOfTheMachines-s7u]

And lastly, there are no great defensive works because the Russians have overcome the great defensive works. Do you expect the whole country to have defensive works every 10 Km across its whole extent ? Who does that ? Who can even contemplate doing that ? Eventually Russia will break through to where there are no more significant defensive works.

@@TheGreatAmphibian `This chapter argues that soldiers have a natural reluctance to take human life, even on the battlefield, where it is their obligation to do so, and this resistance to killing must be overcome by extensive training and even then often breaks down. To understand the nature of this resistance, it must first be recognized that most participants in close combat are literally “frightened out of their wits,” as the saying goes. Once the arrows or bullets start flying, combatants stop thinking with the forebrain (that part of the brain which makes us human). Instead, their thought processes localize in the midbrain, or mammalian brain, that primitive part of the brain generally indistinguishable from that of an animal.

[@GeoffDemarest]

Willy, you take a 2024 article written by a partisan about a currently ongoing war, and you call its contents "doctrine." It is not that good an article and it is NOT attritional war doctrine just because it has attritional war in the title. The Russians are busy maneuvering and taking land. Of course they have a great advantage in deep battle. Of course they are winning the attritional aspect of the war. However, every time you insist on the term "attritional doctrine," you make it sound as though pouring more materiel into this thing is a key. You fall into an argumentational, propagandistic trap that allows people to mentally avoid addressing the fact that what should be Ukrainian strategy-making elements are missing. Zelensky's objective is unreasonable, the means are not available, the methods have failed, the measuring of comparative strength has been corrupt and deceitful, the strategic grammar has been childishly sloppy, physical distance has been ignored in favor of hope and psyops. Our army used to have the correct word for how Zelensky's doctrine should be described. You might use it instead of "attritional." It begins with "Bullsh" and ends in "it." Constantly harping about attrition can become, has become the elevation of a single aspect of almost every war while what reducing to the status of interesting detail all that matters. Still, great that you're talking about the coal mines. I wish I could see a map of interlocking mine passageways. Very interesting detail that.

[@TheGreatAmphibian]

> The Russians are busy maneuvering and taking land Sorry: you are an idiot. You are not conducting maneuver warfare just because you advance occasionally, genius.

[@ad-ko5iy]

Russian are not maneuvering and taking land. On the map of Ukraine, the land taken are negligible since january. Basically you can't even say who's winning in this war by land taken. But we still know russia is winning because ukrainian losses are too heavy. That's the whole attritional stuff that made willy understood Ukraine was losing, the purpose of the Kharkiv offensive for russia, the danger of the kursk operation for Ukraine, the link between manpower shortage and lack of fortifications.
