The enemy has gathered a very powerful group of forces – more than 100,000 personnel, over 900 tanks, over 555 artillery systems, and 370 multiple-launch rocket systems – on the Lyman-Kupiansk axis.
For context, Russia deployed 120,000 personnel in Afghanistan at the height of its campaign there.
900 tanks?
Ohhhh, himars o’clock? Please 🥺
They can have as many soldiers as they like, but if they’re not properly trained, equipped, fed and motivated they will achieve nothing except further death and despair.
This is Russia were talking about: Their efforts will fail due to (a) graft (b) lies (c) vodka.
Ardennenoffensive?
Right on time for cluster munitions 🔥
They can do this because they have perfect sanctuary. No one can attack them on their own territory.
Really good time to test out those new cluster munitions
I hope a russian general gets them all in to one place to deliver a speech
This could be a big make or break moment for the counteroffensive, if Russia overplays their hand here and gets their asses handed to them, then Ukraine will be better able to commit their own reserves to follow up their successes in other sectors.
What decade did these 900 tanks come from?
what would be the rationale for amassing troups on this axis?
Of course they still want to steamroll to Sloviansk…
Seems the Kremlin believes Russian lives are worthless.
Hope these orcs return in bodybags.
🇺🇦 💪
Need to remember that its a 1 to 5 or 1 to 6 ratio tool to tail ratio…so for every one warfighter/infantryman, there are 5 or 6 supporting roles that enable that one soldier. This is called the tool-to-tail ratio. The USA’s T3R is 1 to 10, I imagine russias is closer to 1 to 5. My question is how many of that 100,000 soldiers are fighters vs support….knowing russia supporting roles will eventually be turned to front line fighters lol
Evidently, Russia is giving up on southern Ukraine.
I find elements of this report difficult to believe. 900 tanks, over 555 artillery systems, and 370 multiple-launch rocket systems – on the Lyman-Kupiansk axis.
First we have no seen reports or social media talking about moving this much equipment around Russia. We had a blow by blow account of Wanger moving near to Moscow and yet we heard nothing about 900 tanks ? On Wagner Russia had no means to stop them on the way to Moscow now we hear just weeks later they had 900 tanks sitting around ? How does that make sense?
We also know they have been sending in units under half tank strenght to the front line for months the idea they had 900 tanks ready to go ? Yet did not have enough to supply the troops already in the field.
Same with Artillery Ukraine said one minute Russia is running low on artillery and ammo. Next we are suppose to believe they have enough to support 555 new systems.
I dont believe what Serhii Cherevatyi said can possible. I have seen report of 100,000 Russia’s but I dont believe they have this much equipment.
*[cluster munitions has joined the chat]*
Hopefully Ukraine is able to deal with it well. There’s no under estimating what 100k troops can do in that area.
I guess this is to try to stop Ukrainians from going to mariupol and berdyansk? to keep the land bridge open?
where did they crap that many troops in that one area? I’m sure Ukraine knows about any movements in this area
slava Ukraini
100k dead soldiers very soon.. Fuck ruzzia
This sounds worrying, but at the same time this could be the last time Russia comes up with such a number of soldiers, tanks and equipment.
Ukraine has a chance to hit the Russian occupiers in the most sensitive place. And to give Putin his Waterloo.
Pootin: “I’m surrounded by assholes… Asshole! They have cluster munitions, we will outsmart them by clustering together, heh, they will never see us coming.”
Shoigu (covers testies with both hands): “Brilliant lord helmet, excellent strategy, any general (not me of cause), that fails to execute this to victory must be immediately defenestrated!”
How many more are going in the meat grinder, before that psychotic Dobbie the house elf looking mother fucker finally realises that he’s lost?!
Thanks for using the original source rather than a twitter link.
ITS OVER FOR RUSSIA.. CLUSTER MUNITIONS AND HIMARS WILL RAIN DEATH UPON YOU ☠️☠️☠️ THE TIME OF RECKONING HAS COME! 🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️
More untrained meat targets I assume.
Soldiers? Didn’t they run out of them months ago? They’re deploying sons, husbands, fathers and grandfathers. Autocorrect tried using the word deplorable rather than deploying but it’s not wrong lol
There has to be some anti armour weapons that can be used from a safe distance.and do serious damage.
If this was nato.all that armour would be gone in a few days. Why aren’t we giving ukriane a fraction of the capability.
Lyman-Kup’yans’k is 100km, 1000men per km. Target Kharkiv or to try to encircle and push towards Dnipro??
900 T34’s and 100k soldiers with shovels and sharpened sticks.
So we all know where the main force Is.
Cluster Munitions?
Maybe the same that Russia has been using on Ukrainian cities
How many soldiers does Ukraine have?
How they gonna feed them?
Ultimately those ratios seem suspect to me.
Why do they say they have far more tanks than artillery?
If that were to be accurate, isn’t that a little concerning?
I always assumed that tanks were important but most casualties came from artillery fire and as such, a lot of artillery was used still.
Perhaps that is the case and I’m not wrong but all that counter battery artillery fire the Ukrainians have been doing did impact this.
Though thinking logically, Russians said this so it’s probably all lies anyway.
If ukraine lose that part, again, will be bad.
Men, maybe.
Soldiers, doubtful.
Good thing we sent them cluster munitions this will be a sight to see lol
This could be any number of things, but there is a hope that, with so many more competent generals being fired, having terrible accidents, “resting” or getting blown up by the defenders, the political chicken hawks could be persuading Putin to give up the static defense strategy in favour of a fresh offensive.
While the only “good” change would be for Russia to just go home, this could be a positive strategic development for Ukraine.
Russia’s biggest asset is its defense in depth lines. It allows the Russians to hold off superior Ukrainian formations and inflict closer to equal casualties. If Putin orders his army back onto the offensive, it gives Ukraine an opportunity to tilt those scales again and hit the Russians hard outside the safety of their defensive lines.
Especially if the believe their own press and attack while Ukraine has the bulk of its Leopards and Bradleys left, this could be a very costly move by the Russians.
Just in time for cluster bomb deliveries.
Would someone please tell me where this is? I don’t know where Lyman or Kupiansk is, let alone where they cross for an axis. I tried looking at Livemap but was foiled by language issues.Thanks in advance!
Update, found Lyman – it’s north of Bakhmut and in territory held by AFU, so wasn’t even looking there. But at least that gives me a general idea.
That’s a lot of meat
Sure would suck for them if ATACMS was announced right about now….
