Near Bakhmut, UkraineCNN —
Southwest of the city of Bakhmut, Ukrainian soldiers Andriy and Borisych live in a candle-lit bunker cut into the frozen earth. For several weeks they have been confronting hundreds of fighters belonging to the Russian private military contractor Wagner throwing themselves against Ukrainian defenses.
Disguised in a balaclava, Andriy recounts one seemingly endless firefight when they came under attack by a flood of Wagner fighters.
“We were fighting for about 10 hours in a row. And it wasn’t like just waves, it was uninterrupted. So it was just like they didn’t stop coming.”
Their AK-47 rifles became so hot from constant firing, Andriy says, that they had to keep changing them.
“It was about 20 soldiers on our side. And let’s say 200 from their side,” he says.
The Wagner way of war is to send a first wave of attackers that mainly comprises raw recruits straight out of Russian prisons. They know little of military tactics and are poorly equipped. Most just hope that if they survive their six-month contract they can go home rather than back to a cell
“They make the group – let’s say from 10 soldiers – reach 30 meters, then they start digging in to keep the position,” Andriy says of Wagner.
that ruskie tactic of feeding their soldiers like cannon fodder ..

The comrades in TLR really believe Russia has the upper hand right now
More Western propaganda

Screwed up... till tha casket drops!!
This or their whole fleet getting destroyed by the Japs at Port Arthur..(or was it tsushima?).
They got their shyt pushed in initially by the Nazis but that was mainly because Stalin refused to believe Hitler would betray him so early.
And the Russian Army back then were more than capable..they'd hit you with the cannon fodder blitz. But also had Generals who could plan and had studied tactics. They appeared to have a solid NCO corps. Nowadays they're losing Generals at an alarming rate..leads me to believe their NCOS are useless...someone posted an article confirming this from a US General giving his opinion and a Russian saying as much.
