• It seems that the Ukranian strategy of baiting out the responsive back-line troops and then hitting them with advanced and precise artillery and with drones is working.

    High reported Russian losses of artillery systems in these last weeks, and the deployment of KA-52’s to compensate is interesting.

    Hopefully what will happen is that Ukraine will continue this way, with the minimum necessary losses during probing attacks, until a weakness in the back line is found. A force concentration attack backed by heavy drone and artillery strikes might then prevent the Russians from patching a hole in the line.

      • It seems unlikely that Russia will have the wherewithall to refocus their strategic defense if the lines are broken, and the third-lines weakened by continual strikes.

        Perhaps they will be baited into overcommiting to one direction of attack, and then be swept in another.
