    I would expect the outer most advances to be taken back for
    Russians rather quickly. As Ukraine wouldn’t likely have had time to build up strong defenses and logistics.
    Ukraine would be digging in and preparing hard defenses well back from the furthest advance into Kursk. Picking the best ground to build up and force a grinding fight. Goal should be to make Russian pay for every inch but give ground to preserve your forces.
    Key to success of this operation is how much material and equipment is going to be needed to take back and hold the northern front. This isn’t something that will be seen on the fronts right away. It will be months before we see the effects on Russian offensive actions as the forces relocated we’re likely reserve unit.
    Russia will have to divert limited equipment and experienced troops to guard the northern boarder from now on. Which means they aren’t on the main fronts.
    With Russia air defense already showing signs of being over stretched this is going to be a major problem for them going forward.
    End of this year is when Europe and America start hitting their production goals. Should be hitting around 2m 155mm shells end of the year. Ukraine Air Force will gain far more capability as f16 start to come into the fight in numbers and Ukraine will gain access to longer range strike missiles.
    Russia is advancing in the east but visually confirmed losses of equipment is staggering to say the least. People who have counted Russian reserve equipment numbers using sat pictures estimate they have around two more years at current burn rate. They won’t run out fully but won’t be able to keep up this pace.
    At best Russia ends this war with what they occupied so far 20%. It will have cost them 40% of their military equipment, 20% of the Black Sea fleet, 40% of the VDV, oils rate with Europe, Finland and Sweden joining nato, huge portion of their stock piles in munitions.
    They lack the economy to rebuild as theirs purchase price parity advantage will be diminished. Cost of labor is much more expensive and inflation will be an issue because of war time spending. Russia has the Econ the size of Italy so most of this lost equipment isn’t getting replaced.

    • @vojins9203
      @vojins9203 3 дня назад +1

      sorry to say, thats a lot of delusion and prejudices combined with wishful thinking.
      if one wishes the ukrainians well in this conflict, best avoid that when analyzing and assessing capabilities of the opponent.
      the russian economy according to gdp ppp comparison is vastly larger than the one of italy and now even larger than that of germany according to figures from the world bank. also it is growing at ca. 4-5%, while germany barely scratches above 0%.
      it is not the russia of the 90s that went bankrupt under jeltzin, that was 30 years ago. russia now has a state debt of less than 20% gdp, which compares extremely favorably to most western state debts which are at 100% or above or at least at 70%+ in the better cases. at the same time russia still has a very positive trade ballance overall filling the russian coffins with $100+ bln yearly for decades meanwhile. as one of the very few countries worldwide it is having a positive trade balance with even china. much of that money was saved for tough times like today, so they have a full chest of money for this war.
      also while gdp comparisons with ppp (per purchasing power) correction are more realistic than with the nominal gdp, that benchmark is still quite bad in comparing economies and production capability of different states, while being acceptable to compare the development of a single state along several years.
      if you look closer at the economy of russia you will find that 30%+ is from manufacturing/industry, while in the west that figure is usually at ~20% with a much larger service sector (lawyers, haircutters,...). for instance russia produces ca. the same amount of steel like usa, at half the population size. just because russian products dont show up to customers in our western markets, does not mean they do not produce them.
      such closer analysis makes it easier understandable how russia can outproduce the combined west regards artillery shells by a multiple factor.
      also the sanctions against russia have not been done very cleverly. when the sanctions in 2014 were introduced, their answer with sanctioning western food imports have shown, that russia had the capability to become a big food exporter within a few years, while being on balance a food importer before 2014.
      this time imo a big mistage of the west was sanctioning the russian oligarchs. while before the sanctions the oligarchs have siphoned yearly dozens of billions worth of usd to the west to buy luxury stuff and to invest, this money now stays in russia and looks for opportunities to invest there, increasing the russian economy size and tax income of the state for probably 2%+ per year. the oligarchs shouöd have been lured to the west instead.
      if one is waiting for the russian economy to crumble and be their achilles heel in this war, that is wishfull thinking and thus not helpful.

    3:55 I disagree that the opening is a defeat for the Ukrainians. When they cut off Glushkovo, they gave the Russian a dilemma to create bridges over the Sejm or fight to open up the land route. Obviously, the river crossings didn't work out for them and they probably lost a sizable amount of men and equipment fighting for the land route. BUT! ... Ukraine still holds the heights to the east of the road to Glushkovo and can easily target any vehicles trying to resupply or reinforce there. Another advantage for Ukraine is that the "open" road gives any panicked glushkovo defenders an exit to desert their posts and flee (I'm sorry "redeploy to more favorable positions" lol). Further, Ukraine having now launched an assault across the border will give the russians more urgency to resupply the pocket (under the guns of the Ukrainians) as well as more urgency for the trapped defenders to break and run.
    Overall this looks like brilliant operational planning by the Ukrainians to cut off Russian lines of communication in their initial assault. Now the Russians have to go on the offensive (while taking their typical outsized losses) just to maintain the defense of an area that has no strategic value for them at all or else continually be humiliated by the Ukrainian occupation of their territory.

    This situation in Kursk demonstrates once again that Ukraine is lacking in manpower not weapons. Without a good depth in reserves Ukraine will not be able to hold territory in Kursk much less stop advancements in the east. Many of the Russian gains in the east are accomplished the old fashioned way that require only men equipped with light to medium arms. Russia has plenty. Ukraine cannot use shell starvation lack of aircraft or air defenses as an excuse. Unless Ukrainians step up and join the ranks Russian meat waives will continue to succeed.

      "Maneuver warfare, or is a military strategy which emphasizes movement, initiative and surprise to achieve a position of advantage. Maneuver seeks to inflict losses indirectly by envelopment, encirclement and disruption, while minimizing the need to engage in frontal combat."
      Essentially its not a quick run for 4 -5 days and then months of attrition style. It is a constant stick and move attack. Not letting your self get pinned down but constant sometimes sweeping attacks from multiply locations.

    When I started watching this channel, I knew it was biased towards Ukraine, but the bias was pretty much under control. Recently though, it has gotten out of control. The benefit I had of only needing to watch Torsten to get a summary of recent events is fading and now again I have to start watching other channels to complete a more balanced understanding. This is a clear negative for me and it has depreciated the value of this channel, to the point where I may skip some of the videos.
    I understand that the new approach is profitable, but if integrity is still a priority, then please take note.

A whole lot of copium for the Ukrainian side despite numerous setbacks, every "neutral" channel I used to watch have all been much more pro-Ukraine lately (Preston Stewart and this channel). I don't know if there's something I do not know because the typical pro-RU channels are showing a different picture (DPA, Weeb Union, Military Summary).

      If you are interested in the frontline map, I think Weeb is a good source because he basically copies Suriyak, who, in my experience, has been very reliable over the course of this war. I also like his overlay style.

    Again, loving your maps coverage. "Other channels" will barely show the maps when things aren't going so well, thank you for refusing to mindlessly spout US propaganda and your dedication to the TRUTH of a situation, hard as it may be to hear.
    We don't hear you constantly plugging "forbidden" combat footage from your own 3rd party gore-site (of course while advertising it on RUclips still).
    You don't try and pawn off your 50$/pack "super-gum" every 30 seconds, often in the cringiest ways.
    Oh yea, and when you quote somebody, we can generally be pretty confident that it's what the person ACTUALLY said... Jake-quotes crack me up, dude just goes off the deep-end adding random little remarks and tidbits he WANTS to hear! It's absolutely ridiculous honestly, and that's all just the tip of the berg... it's a laundry-list with this guy.
    Just repeating the line "Russia will lose this war guys" at the end of every episode like it's some kindof spell DOESN'T MAKE IT SO, actually on the contrary - it lulls allies into a premature sense of victory (the very definition of underestimating your enemy). I accepted his BS before because I figured "well he really does care at least" with the Birthday donations, but the thing is... what is he actually doing? It's the people legitimately donating (which they can already do anyhow, whenever they want) who are contributing! It just makes dude look like a hero on the surface-level with minimal effort. I guess you can't really be wrong if you only say what everyone wants to hear though so whatever...
    Really though Tors, you're a light of truth in this mess. Never let those with more... 'infantile' minds guilt you into coddling them/facilitating their attempt at coping. This channel should serve as a prime example of proper, unbiased (well... as much as possible obviously) wartime reporting. Hope you have a great day mate!
