Russian KIA+WIA losses in conservative estimates were 40K but as more and more info came out its likely closer to 60,000+ casualties because of how many storm troopers were needed to overwhelm defenses. This means a Russian died for every 15 CENTIMETERS of Bakhmut. Do you understand that it's only the 56th largest town in Ukraine? It's a baby compared to other locations, and it crippled Wagner.

People in general simply cannot grasp the scale of this war. Especially in Europe. When the last one in the Balkans, throughout the 90s (edit) caused over 250k casualties in 10 years. Including dead, missing and wounded. That figure most probably happened in the first year alone in Ukraine! This is insane!

*''Just don't tell Mom that I'm going to Bakhmut''* - Whenever I hear Bakmut mentioned I always think about that soldier singing a song surrounded by ruins. Countless lives were lost in just one city. The reality of war is grim.
Song is a parody on another song 'Don't tell mom I'm in Chechnya'... russians have a funny pattern of singing sad songs about war in destroyed by them lands
What surprises me about such videos. Literally every few seconds, they show us broken Russian technic, talk about monstrous losses, problems in the army, but at the same time, Russian troops are advancing and seizing territories on the map. At the same time, according to the author, everything was fine with the Ukrainian side, they repelled the attacks, but for some reason they had to leave the city, they are generally silent about the losses.
I am Ukrainian. Here is what I can say. Yes, Ukraine loses soldiers every day and we currently have a shortage of soldiers, but Ukraine's losses are 2 times less than Russia's simply because there are more Russians and their military strategy is based on this one advantage. Only recently they stopped using armored vehicles during attacks because they are the highest priority target for drones. If it were not for Ukraine's strategy, Russia would have had much greater success than you think. In addition, on Google maps you can see how military equipment warehouses are emptying, this only means that Russia has lost almost the entire base composition that it had before February 24.
You can loose ground, but still be victorious. Lets say you lost 50 men to capture a squire kilometer of land. I lost 20 men defending the land. You lost 50 men because you needed to cross an open field to get to my trench, and you were successful only on your third attempt. I lost 20 because my men did not have to leave their trenches and when the battle was almost lost they managed to retreat. You got your pyrrhic victory, you gain something at a great loss. I got strategic victory, because you are suffering way more to attrition.

RUclips always leave Ukrainian propagandists alone, they are an American corporate with links to the USA government and security service, keeping the war grinding and the population of the west ignorant is their main thing.
The Slavs would rather die than surrender. Mercenaries from Europe and the United States are used to fighting civilians in the Middle East. There are quite a few videos on the Internet of how the vaunted mercenaries are shocked and want to go home.
Good presentation, badly sourced and very biased. Summarizes the events OK, but there's a clear effort to present the Russians in a bad light, and I'm fairly certain there's multiple instances where the analysis is plainly wrong for exactly this reason.
ага, русские настолько бездарно ведут боевые действия, что украине приходится перебрасывать подкрепления одно за другим, а прорывы при этом не прекращаются. фантастика

1:13:55 Pyrrhic victory? That remains to be seen, the war is far from over. The main force fighting for the russians in this battle was the Wagner group, which consisted of mercenaries and convicts. They where, as you stated in the video, expendable. Perhaps there was a tactical reason to sacrifice this force in this way, in order to gain an advantage in the long term? The russians have used the time this battle has lasted to recruit more soldiers. And they have worn down the ukrainians, and some of their equipment. The ukrainans are almost entirely dependent on the west for new equipment, weapons, amunition etc. The russians have their own production, and they have been increasing it. So it's easier for the russians to replace the losses in equipment than it is for the ukrainians. This goes for soldiers to. Obviously Russia has a larger population. It seems to me that some of the most motivated soldiers on the ukrainian side, both ukrainian and foreign in origin, have already volunteered to fight. It's an advantage for the russians in the long term that the most motivated ukrainian soldiers are killed and wounded, even if this means taking higher casualties themselves, if these casualties are mostly mercenaries and convicts. For the russian leadership it makes sense to exchange 7 convicts/mercenaries for 1 higly motivated and trained ukrainian soldier (even though i doubt the ratio was this severe in the ukrainian favour). The dead costs nothing.This is of course a highly cynical view, but this is war. The russian leadership are of course aware that the ukrainian morale is an important factor here, especially in the long term. And there seems to be cracks in morale appearing as we speak. Let's see what the mood is in Ukraine in 6 months or 1 year.
The actual choices Ukraine has at its disposal to win are pretty much nil, its best strategy is a fighting retreat making Russia pay for every meter. The strategy of Bakhmut was bad but the alternative is only relatively better. Ukraine has bad demographics but remember that, while both sides have easily lost 100k+ men respectively, Russia is destroying its economy (Ukraine's is already destroyed) for basically nothing important as Crimea is already taken. It's not a Pyrrhic victory though, no.
@@FINSuojeluskunta Friendly reminder that ukrainians consider victory a return to 1991 borders. So if they stand their ground is not because is a tactically sound option, but because each time it push them away from their goal.
What is crazy to me is that the bloodiness of this battle is comparable to WW2. Namely both the bloodiest battle in the western front (Battle of the Bulge) and the bloodiest battle in the pacific (Okinawa). It's just crazy to think that there is any event comparable to worst battles of WW2 today.

A reasonable assessment 😂 That is, Western sources, recognizing the superiority of Russian artillery over Ukrainian artillery by 1/9 and 100% superiority of Russian aviation, say that Russia lost 7 times more The Ukrainian Armed Forces are semi-encircled
Yes, after all, the aviation and artillery of the Wagner PMC worked, and I’ll remind you that the “Prigozhin Rebellion” began precisely because they were not given shells, which is why they suffered catastrophic losses, and this is not an invention of the “West,” but almost a direct one quote from the leader of PMC Wagner - Evgeniy Prigozhin And the good old tactic that the Russian army always fights with, “Women are still giving birth,” is still used
@muver4918 То бишь не уничтожать десятки городов и тысячи сел под 0,а так же не бить целенаправленно по гражданским в том числе детям как это сейчас делает российская авиация? 🤔 Это действительно было бы правильнее с точки зрения международного права Просто для сравнения - за все время бомбардировок Югославии по обе стороны погибло 1.500 - 5 700 человек. В одном Мариуполе из-за использования термобарических ракет(что кстати запрещено женевской конвенцией) было убито бомбами или сожжено заживо около 75 000 гражданских в том числе тысячи детей и Ванда Объектова которая пережила немецких нацистов,но российских к сожалению нет,а 90% города(с учётом частного сектора)уничтожено и удары были целенаправленно по гражданским(Как например в драмтеатре)Так же были уничтожены под 0 десятки городов как например Бахмут,Волчанск,Красногоровка,Марьинка,Авдеевка,Попасная,Торецк и тд,тысячи сел в числе которых теперь так же Любимовка,Ольговка и Плехово в Курской области
The war and the Ukrainian army changed after this battle, the Russians learned a lot to contain Western tactics and avoid massive casualties. The worst mistake was holding a lost city for nothing, Ukraine lost many good veteran soldiers and quality equipment. I can't explain how NATO simply can't give Ukraine enough artillery shells and vehicles to stop Russia. the war is lost. a shame for so many young people and families destroyed
This is nonsense 1) Brigades using NATO equipment were practically not involved, what can we say if most of the assistance began to arrive in the summer 2) The RF Armed Forces have not learned anything, they have always fought with the Soviet doctrine “Women are still giving birth”, not counting their losses 3) The war is not lost, the situation is better than in 2022. Let me remind you that Russian armed forces have approached Kyiv, and now Russia has to ask for help from the Koreans to protect its territory.

Okay, here we go again. I watched the animated battle of Avdiivka and got out on the other end with a feeling that Russia didn't win, it was Ukraina who lost. That's the way it was presented. All the smart moves was Ukraine, details where AFU burned Russian tanks were picked out from the story like one pick the raisins out of a cake. Russia slipped on a banana peel and happened to win. Their casualties were "staggering", AFU's 200 and 300 wasn't mentioned. But I have watched umpteenth videos and read more articles about the battle of Avdiivka from the Russian side, the Ukrainian side and third party sides so I know pretty much what kind of defeat Russia inflicted on Ukraina in Avdiivka. Let's say that it was bound to happen sooner or later. It's not that the Ukrainians lack everything in the ammo department as much as the casualties they have taken through the war. It's up towards 600 thousand men now according to official American sources. Let's compare it to the British losses in WWI. They lost 800 thousand over 4 years. Ukraine is heading in that direction faster. A modern war in Europe is not supposed to have these numbers, but there is two, perhaps three reasons for it. First, the landscape is flat. There's no protection from the drones that have been introduced. The second reason is Russia's willingness to trade land for lives. They have given up land they can't hold, but it has cost Ukraine dearly. The third resson What one can say about the AFU claim of lack of ammo, is that it's legit. But perhaps not in the decisive way it's been presented. AFU had no problems to arm a force to the teeth and send it in to Kursk. a force strategy from the Russians to inflict those numbers of dead and wounded. At some point something gotta give. The sheer number of dead AFU in Avdiivka was horrific.
The tanks being used to clear the soledar salt mines were such a weird twist. I always wondered if they tunneled into the mines or just drove into an entrance
This is a good video but I did notice it is a little biased for Ukraine, like for example you sometimes show a specific battle where ukrainians capture a trenchline and how they defeated the russians yet there is no equivalent for the russian side.
I served on the frontlines of Bakhmut for 6 months as part of the International Legion Defense of Ukraine (Shown on video as "Idu"). This video feels really weird to watch because I'm watching it for the first time in the bigger image.😁 I never thought I would see the whole operation explained. Didn't have time to think of it at the time. Thank you!

Not comparable to Verdun, but deadly when put into perspective of WW2 still. Namely, the death count is similar to the bloodiest battle in the western front, the Battle of the Bulge, and the bloodiest battle in the pacific, Okinawa. This is crazy, but it's 'fortunately' nowhere near the appalling events in the eastern front most notably the Battle of Stalingrad or some WW1 battles.
Russia has captured the city about 550 days ago, the frontline has changed so little, it is comical. Even right now when Russia is gaining ground, the ground it is gaining is ridiculously small. Open deepstate map and see it for yourself.
@@dziugas2586 Well, what I can see from the frontline, the Russians are steadily moving it to the borders of the 4 regions. Yes, it is slow as it is not easy.

@@mmdirtyworkz But at what cost? Russian central bank says that it is doomed after 2025. Ruble hit the new lows even with the aggressively restricted trade of it. Huge labor shortages, .interest rate is set to reach 25%. One thing that Ukraine has on its side is time and European money to run its military and economy.

What surprises me about such videos. Literally every few seconds, they show us broken Russian technic, talk about monstrous losses, problems in the army, but at the same time, Russian troops are advancing and seizing territories on the map. At the same time, according to the author, everything was fine with the Ukrainian side, they repelled the attacks, but for some reason they had to leave the city, they are generally silent about the losses.
It's bias.
This guy is far from neutral but to be fair I don't think he claims to be.
Yea... Attacking seems to take more casualties. It is a war of attrition, Russia is taking losses but they able to replace those.
Russians don't need to take a million photos, they win not on the Internet, but on the battlefield))
I am Ukrainian. Here is what I can say. Yes, Ukraine loses soldiers every day and we currently have a shortage of soldiers, but Ukraine's losses are 2 times less than Russia's simply because there are more Russians and their military strategy is based on this one advantage. Only recently they stopped using armored vehicles during attacks because they are the highest priority target for drones. If it were not for Ukraine's strategy, Russia would have had much greater success than you think. In addition, on Google maps you can see how military equipment warehouses are emptying, this only means that Russia has lost almost the entire base composition that it had before February 24.
You can loose ground, but still be victorious. Lets say you lost 50 men to capture a squire kilometer of land. I lost 20 men defending the land. You lost 50 men because you needed to cross an open field to get to my trench, and you were successful only on your third attempt. I lost 20 because my men did not have to leave their trenches and when the battle was almost lost they managed to retreat. You got your pyrrhic victory, you gain something at a great loss. I got strategic victory, because you are suffering way more to attrition.

Been waiting on this for awhile. I've repeatedly watched his videos. This guy's work is on another level
1:13:55 Pyrrhic victory? That remains to be seen, the war is far from over. The main force fighting for the russians in this battle was the Wagner group, which consisted of mercenaries and convicts. They where, as you stated in the video, expendable. Perhaps there was a tactical reason to sacrifice this force in this way, in order to gain an advantage in the long term? The russians have used the time this battle has lasted to recruit more soldiers. And they have worn down the ukrainians, and some of their equipment. The ukrainans are almost entirely dependent on the west for new equipment, weapons, amunition etc. The russians have their own production, and they have been increasing it. So it's easier for the russians to replace the losses in equipment than it is for the ukrainians. This goes for soldiers to. Obviously Russia has a larger population. It seems to me that some of the most motivated soldiers on the ukrainian side, both ukrainian and foreign in origin, have already volunteered to fight. It's an advantage for the russians in the long term that the most motivated ukrainian soldiers are killed and wounded, even if this means taking higher casualties themselves, if these casualties are mostly mercenaries and convicts. For the russian leadership it makes sense to exchange 7 convicts/mercenaries for 1 higly motivated and trained ukrainian soldier (even though i doubt the ratio was this severe in the ukrainian favour). The dead costs nothing.This is of course a highly cynical view, but this is war. The russian leadership are of course aware that the ukrainian morale is an important factor here, especially in the long term. And there seems to be cracks in morale appearing as we speak. Let's see what the mood is in Ukraine in 6 months or 1 year.
The guy would have changed the outcome of the battle as an ukrainian victory if he could get away with it.
The actual choices Ukraine has at its disposal to win are pretty much nil, its best strategy is a fighting retreat making Russia pay for every meter. The strategy of Bakhmut was bad but the alternative is only relatively better. Ukraine has bad demographics but remember that, while both sides have easily lost 100k+ men respectively, Russia is destroying its economy (Ukraine's is already destroyed) for basically nothing important as Crimea is already taken. It's not a Pyrrhic victory though, no.
@@FINSuojeluskunta Friendly reminder that ukrainians consider victory a return to 1991 borders. So if they stand their ground is not because is a tactically sound option, but because each time it push them away from their goal.

That is, Western sources, recognizing the superiority of Russian artillery over Ukrainian artillery by 1/9 and 100% superiority of Russian aviation, say that Russia lost 7 times more The Ukrainian Armed Forces are semi-encircled

The war and the Ukrainian army changed after this battle, the Russians learned a lot to contain Western tactics and avoid massive casualties.
The worst mistake was holding a lost city for nothing, Ukraine lost many good veteran soldiers and quality equipment.
I can't explain how NATO simply can't give Ukraine enough artillery shells and vehicles to stop Russia.
the war is lost.
a shame for so many young people and families destroyed
This is nonsense
1) Brigades using NATO equipment were practically not involved, what can we say if most of the assistance began to arrive in the summer
2) The RF Armed Forces have not learned anything, they have always fought with the Soviet doctrine “Women are still giving birth”, not counting their losses
3) The war is not lost, the situation is better than in 2022.
Let me remind you that Russian armed forces have approached Kyiv, and now Russia has to ask for help from the Koreans to protect its territory.

Okay, here we go again. I watched the animated battle of Avdiivka and got out on the other end with a feeling that Russia didn't win, it was Ukraina who lost. That's the way it was presented. All the smart moves was Ukraine, details where AFU burned Russian tanks were picked out from the story like one pick the raisins out of a cake. Russia slipped on a banana peel and happened to win. Their casualties were "staggering", AFU's 200 and 300 wasn't mentioned. But I have watched umpteenth videos and read more articles about the battle of Avdiivka from the Russian side, the Ukrainian side and third party sides so I know pretty much what kind of defeat Russia inflicted on Ukraina in Avdiivka. Let's say that it was bound to happen sooner or later. It's not that the Ukrainians lack everything in the ammo department as much as the casualties they have taken through the war. It's up towards 600 thousand men now according to official American sources. Let's compare it to the British losses in WWI. They lost 800 thousand over 4 years. Ukraine is heading in that direction faster. A modern war in Europe is not supposed to have these numbers, but there is two, perhaps three reasons for it. First, the landscape is flat. There's no protection from the drones that have been introduced. The second reason is Russia's willingness to trade land for lives. They have given up land they can't hold, but it has cost Ukraine dearly. The third resson What one can say about the AFU claim of lack of ammo, is that it's legit. But perhaps not in the decisive way it's been presented. AFU had no problems to arm a force to the teeth and send it in to Kursk. a force strategy from the Russians to inflict those numbers of dead and wounded. At some point something gotta give. The sheer number of dead AFU in Avdiivka was horrific.
Thank you for all the hard work you put into researching and creating these videos covering these historic battles.
The tanks being used to clear the soledar salt mines were such a weird twist. I always wondered if they tunneled into the mines or just drove into an entrance
This is a good video but I did notice it is a little biased for Ukraine, like for example you sometimes show a specific battle where ukrainians capture a trenchline and how they defeated the russians yet there is no equivalent for the russian side.
I served on the frontlines of Bakhmut for 6 months as part of the International Legion Defense of Ukraine (Shown on video as "Idu").

Never thought I would see a Verdun in my lifetime.
Nowhere near the scale of destruction of Verdun but definitely one of the most brutal modern day battle
Combined total deaths in this battle are probably like half or less than what each side lost at Verdun
Not comparable to Verdun, but deadly when put into perspective of WW2 still. Namely, the death count is similar to the bloodiest battle in the western front, the Battle of the Bulge, and the bloodiest battle in the pacific, Okinawa. This is crazy, but it's 'fortunately' nowhere near the appalling events in the eastern front most notably the Battle of Stalingrad or some WW1 battles.

best made video I have seen in quite a while 👍
Nice video man
Thank you for the analysis!
I am always wondering where all the Ukrainian troops with nazi symbols you could see in videos went to.. did they all just changed their minds? 🤡
I still see a couple, one with 2 dudes with ss helmets in Kursk pretending to be Germans whilst insulting a random homeless guy that wandered past
There were handful of these soldiers in the first place in Ukraine. A couple of thousands. It was overblown by Russia to justify the war.
41:39 - why does it look like that BMP-2 is firing two autocannons at once? 53:40 - that’s one of the most badass tank commanders ever.
Thank you for this video. Great analysis 👍
Extremely good analysis. Respect for the time and effort you put into making this video!
Of course, it's biased. If you're going to make an analysis video, be neutral.
How are regiments successful at attacking brigades? Wouldnt brigade have more people ?
What's next?
Avdiivka? Vuhledar?
vuhledar
вухледар
Really really well made videos with all the clips i watched before. Now giving us proper information when those clips happened irl
Finally getting notifications for your videos again. Thanks 4 the quality content
Долго ждали нового видоса и не зря) величайшее рубилово 2023.
warning - the clip is heavily pro ukrainian and lacks non biased analysis.
Awesome channel and production 👏
I can’t understand why you don’t have more views and subscribers. I mean this is a quality over an hour documentary on a recent bloody battle. Everyone who pays attention to world politics would want to watch this. And it’s such high quality I can’t believe im here watching it for free!
Keep up the good work, hope you get more popular!
Bad English and very biased analysis are probably the main reasons
heavily biased to the thunderbolt battalion oh mustache men from Austria
@@Quicks1lvr Wagner group is literally named after Hitlers favorite composer
Thank you Zaika, your machine spirit will live on
59:53 The famous video of Prigozhin
I don't understand how you have less than 100k subs. Love your channel
the video opinion really favor the ukraine rather than russia
as much as i hate the war,could you please telling it in fair way, not favoring other side ?
he is from ukraine , of course he would be more leaning towards ukraine
@@franek335 do you know of anyone making videos like this with a more neutral stance?
