It seems that Russia had no choice but to withdraw from Kherson; the Ukrainians quite effectively constrained Russia's ability to provide logistical support to its troops after those very crucial bridges were extensively damaged by Western MLRS systems.
Russia withdrew 30k troops and more than 5k pieces of hardware in a matter of 3 days, so it looks like the withdrawal was planned a little while ago.
Russia's overall performance has been pitiful and has exposed the gaping weaknesses in their leadership and logistics; it has exposed weaknesses in their operational doctrines, intelligence, communication and reconnaissance.
I suspect that Russia will not stop at 300k troops for its mobilisation drive; more than 700k troops will eventually have to be mobilised; we will see big changes starting in December and the entire picture of the war will differ in March of 2023.

Lmao he will fall to a coup if he tries anymore mass mobilisations. It’s over. There’s such a thing called morale. The troops don’t have the will to fight and will be defeated even if he sends millions of zombies
Putin should get Erdoğan to negotiate him a face saving way of ending this war

The biggest weakness of the Russians has been a lack of manpower in relation to the task at the hand and the sheer size of Ukraine; that weakness will be plugged in a month or two.
It makes literally no sense for the Russians to remove their Commander-in-Chief at a time like this.
The most devastating phase of the war hasn't even begun, mate; you will (unfortunately) see what real devastation looks like in a couple of months.
The Russians are in the process of completing their first mobilisation whereas the Ukrainians are initiating their 5th round of mobilisation.
This is false info, the Russians repeatedly destroyed any attempts to take Kherson, with the successful defences they employed, the Kremlin top brass feared the Ukies would start attacking the dam, effectively flooding the city and putting over a hundred thousand civilians at risk. And the Ukies were at the time lobbing HIMAR missiles to achieve this objective.
Hmmm, let's see;
Leadership - Eh, I'd say they are doing very well so far, in so much as fighting and taking territory from the greatest currently armed force in Europe, supported by NATO. Remember, the goal of Russia was to retake lands inhabited by ethnic Russians, Ukraine didn't "take" Kherson with a fight, the Ruskies merely left.
Logistics - More PR words that don't reflect what's actually happening on the ground, the Russians have a considerably larger array of artillery shells than the Ukraine (which again, is also being supplied by NATO), their missile stocks haven't been depleted, in fact, far from it, Zelenski is still warning that more vital infrastructure is going to be hit very soon.

Operational doctrines, intelligence, communication and reconnaissance - Again, Russia GAINED territory, with a combined number of less than 250 thousand personnel, against a nation of tens of millions, who also have the advantage of defence (military doctrine states you at LEAST have to have a 3 - 1 manpower advantage to partake in effective manuevering.
Putin himself said in a recent press conference:
And after the Crimean bridge fiasco, the kiddie gloves came off (somewhat).
30% of Ukraine's energy infrastructure is gone and blown to dust, and that's STILL without the Russians going all in. Also, the Russians are effectively countering STARLINK, how's that for communication?

So, to recap:
- The UAF lost about 50% of its personnel (over 100’000 soldiers out of a total potential of about 200’000). With most of the Ukrainian weapons systems, which were of Soviet origin, having been destroyed.
- The Russians have been fighting this entire SMO with less than 10% of the Russian military and with a 3:1 advantage for the Ukie forces almost on every front.
- Most NATO satellite capabilities (70 military and 200+ civilian satellites) are being used against Russia as of this very moment.
- The Russian aerospace forces have achieved/maintained air superiority throughout the past 5 months of combat operations. The Ukies have been reduced to flying suicide sorties, they have no effective navy remaining whilst having zero or bare minimal access to the Black Sea.
The Russians absolutely have an advantage in
- Firepower
- Maneuverability (they can move under the protection of Russian airpower and artillery, which the Ukrainians cannot)
- Logistics
- Reach aka "operational depth" (the Russians can strike even in the far western Ukraine/Kyiv
- Morale (it's the Russians vs the entire (albeit declining) Global Western foundation.
And with winter around the corner, and the mass mobilisation almost complete, the future of Ukraine as a State is looking bleak, and I'm all for it.

Yes, pretty much. Those languages stem from an ancient common old norse. Ours from ancient common old slavic.
Where are the RussiaStrong. They left this thread
They always hide when Russians have a setback.
Now this is an in-depth analysis of the current situation. Let's see how things develop further from now. The war is still young as some might say.This is false info, the Russians repeatedly destroyed any attempts to take Kherson, with the successful defences they employed, the Kremlin top brass feared the Ukies would start attacking the dam, effectively flooding the city and putting over a hundred thousand civilians at risk. And the Ukies were at the time lobbing HIMAR missiles to achieve this objective.

I have been repeatedly telling this guy @Nilotic that the Russians have long ago established air superiority despite the limited efforts of the Ukrainian air defense systems and HIMARS equipment. They can strike wherever and whenever they wish in Ukraine.This is false info, the Russians repeatedly destroyed any attempts to take Kherson, with the successful defences they employed, the Kremlin top brass feared the Ukies would start attacking the dam, effectively flooding the city and putting over a hundred thousand civilians at risk.

The Ukies are taking big hits it seems
What's insane to me about this whole war is how every armchair analyst talking about how "weak" and "pathetic" Russian army is, when Russia didn't even mobilise its full force, not even 1% of their military potential on the field is causing the US/NATO headache, almost one-third of Ukraine is gone and they're still parroting the same old talking points since February.
Remember, these are the same folk who were telling us the Russian economy would be destroyed by sanctions, just to have it all blow up in their face. China/India refused to take sides and chose neutrality, I think this whole conflict has really shown how dire the West's economic situation is, they simply don't have the resources to continue the Globalist charade.
I fail to see what you mean by this vid sxb, care to elaborate?
Watch the video u will understand
