All true, but 1 key point is, Putin is buying time.But that is really very old hardware, obsolete, the ammo so old, most will not work. Russia had to buy 1 million rounds for its arty from NK. They just lost over 100 of its best frontline tanks in Kharkiv. Many just abandoned, resupply for the Ukraine, thousands of tons of ammo, which the Ukraine needed. The same naturally will happen in Kherson, just a matter of time.
With what will those soldiers fight?
It is hard for me to understand all those tactical blunders, like the Kherson Oblast, moving all those soldiers from the NE and their equipment into a position where they could easily be trapped. That was predictable, them getting trapped.
Russia is running this with a mixture of WWI and WWII, not like a modern war. Its rather amazing
He cannot afford another successful Ukrainian offensive. And I do think that Kherson will see Russian lines cut, logistics hit hard, and a ton of Russian POW's.
