Russias economy is extremely far from full war mode. Not even close. It is producing extremely few tanks, but is rather refurbishing old ones from storage.
The rest of the post is fiction
- lukan 3y ago"It is producing extremely few tanks, but is rather refurbishing old ones from storage." That is effectivly the same. They can bring more tanks (100+ every month according to british intelligence) in, than they loose. Not the case for Ukraine. And if you mind telling me, what of my post was fiction in your perception, I might consider giving you sources.
- jncfhnb 3y agoIt’s effectively the same for the short term. Basically every single sentence was fiction
- lukan 3y agoWhat solid roads leading out, are under ukrainian control in avdiivka? They lost the last one some days ago. Now they try to fall back through the mud.
- jncfhnb 3y agoThe Russian positions are weak and also largely mud. This is an operational challenge for sure, but the apparent strategy appears to be a localized counter attack to support the withdrawal.
- lukan 3y agoThe russians don't really have to move. They are already close enough to shoot with small arms fire at the whole withdraw area. But the ukrainians have to move, the counter attack and the withdraw itself- it is a total disaster. The order came way too late, probably because of stupid symbolic reasons, because too many cannot handle unpleasant truth. And you did not tell me yet, what exact statement of mine were fantasy.

Some dark highlights: "The second line of defense, a few kilometers behind the front, is still being built, according to nearly a dozen interviewed soldiers." "To reinforce infantry units after heavy losses, Ukraine has transferred soldiers from units specialized in artillery or logistics to infantry positions, according to the soldiers interviewed by the Kyiv Independent. This means soldiers deployed on the first defensive line may not even know the basic survival skills of an infantryman"
- jncfhnb 3y agoI did tell you. Everything you said is fantasy. The withdrawal is already complete. It went pretty well.
- lukan 3y agoI really don't feel like I need to convince you of anything, I am just curious, did you read that article and still hold your opinion? https://kyivindependent.com/avdiivka-defense-uncertain-as-ukraine-struggles-with-fortification/ https://kyivindependent.com/avdiivka-defense-uncertain-as-uk... Because I did not made up anything, you can claim that the Kyivindependent did, but they are probably closer to the events than you. "The withdrawal is already complete. It went pretty well. " Information is still chaotic, but apparently they left the injured and many men and equipment behind. Not my definition of "pretty well". https://www.nytimes.com/2024/02/17/world/europe/ukraine-avdiivka-withdraw-despair.html https://www.nytimes.com/2024/02/17/world/europe/ukraine-avdi...
