also notice the Russian mil bloggers are frantically warning of a possible Ukr major offensive in zaporizhzhia, due to large amount of HMARs attacks there plus a bulid up of Ukr troops, yah the Ukrs are probably sacrificing their lesser units in Bakhmut same wit teh Russians, but the best Ukrs mian units are probably going to hit Zaporizhzhia in the next few weeks. That will suck hard for the RUssians.

also to add: The Russians are using bakhmut to distract the Ukrs and buy time for the Russians to build defenses. the Ukrs are using bakhmut to distract the Russians to build up a sucker punch offnesive in Zaporizhzhia, very interesting.

and while true the Ukrs troops many are straight out of boot camp, they are bit better motivated than the Russians they are fighting who are simliar in training quality. yah the better motivated Ukrs are fighting behind strong fortifications and on the high ground, the Russians have to advance on flat open terrain, that is why yes the Russians are gaining ground at massive cost and its taking them this long. and from what I hear, the Russians are not doing their human wave attacks at night but in the daylight since their conscripts lack night vision gear, however the Spetsnaz , wagner etc. more elite troops who do have night vision gear are carrying out recon in force to find weak spots in the Ukrs lines at night. The Ukrs forces have night vision gear. which counter these assholes. And even if the Russians take bakhmut , the Russians will have lost massive amounts of men, but not surprised thye are not able to use this as an advantage, to break out into behind UKr lines. since the Ukrs probably have fortified defense lines which they can retreat back, plus the Russians may not have enough troops to exploit the holes they made in Ukr lines. due again to logistical problems, yah its excellent the Russians may have thousands of men in the battle but if your logistical system sucks and cant suppy your troops then those troops are a massive burden, cant do their job properly.

well I also hear Russians are building fortified defenses manned by spetsnaz 20-30 kms behind the front lines. in bakhmut. both sides are preparing for a major offensive by their enemies.

@volkerr. yep they suck, the RUssians in bakhmut are basically using a similiar strategy as in summer of 2022, human wave attacks preceded by massive artillery and air strikes , yah they captured a bunch of Donbass cities, but had to stop due to very heavy losses. then the Ukrs hit them with a Kharkov sucker punch haha. Yah in this case. the troops the Russians are using are even lower grade. Penal troops and draftees. as cannon fodder. artillery less.
