Why did Russian forces in 2022 withdraw so far, beyond the most fortified regions of Ukraine? Wouldn't it make more sense to keep supplying the forces that are in front of fortified lines while attacking through the north of Ukraine? It really seems retarded to pull back your troops beyond most defended lines of the enemy and grind through their defences losing thousands of troops and millions in equipment over the next few years.Someone please explain because actions of Russian military smell of sabotage and treason.
>>65139934Where do you think the 40km convoys got stopped?
>>65139934>explain4 decades of institutionalized corruption, weaponized incompetence, and a pathologic need to never take the blame for anything. Almost a century of gulag homo culture. Four centuries of viewing Ukraine as not a real country.The war was supposed to be over in three days. All trying again would have accomplished exactly one thing: an even faster destruction of the russian army's mechanized and armored abilities.
>>65139934unironically because a girkin doompost said they should
>>65139934They just don't seem to be very good at war.
>>65139934>Why did Russian forces in 2022 withdraw so farBecause they were close to being routed completely.
>>65139934Your average Russian soldier is some conscript that doesn't even want to be there.
>>65139934It's called a panicked rout for a reason, anon.
>>65139934>Why did Russian forces in 2022 withdraw so far, beyond the most fortified regions of Ukraine?presumably because the Ukrainians made them
>>65139934their advances in the north where fairly deep but also not very broad.their drive to the east of Kiev being a prime example, they where advancing on a couple of roads and that's it, several hundred km deep, no more than a dozen km wide.if at any time the Ukrainians had a brigade to spare those groups would have been wiped out.this was due to the russians assuming they where going to pull of a desert storm 2. the US and it's allies managed to pull of deep, narrow penetrations like that. but they had functional logistics, had manged to suppress AD and had complete air control
>>65139934They didn't have the man power to hold it and were losing a lot of personal and equipment trying to hold onto it. Then Ukraine had a large break through and that was right before Russia abandoned that front.
>>65139934The native soldiers meant to hold those fortification built in their lands were instead sent out to die.You still need to man fortifications and so supplied their own men, you now have less muscle for the northern fronts. They gave up on the northern front because they had to stop the eastern front from collapsing.
>>65139934>“It really seems retarded”Try this on for retardedness>26 April 1986, Chernobyl nuclear disaster happens>35 years later, Russia starts military build-up along the Belarus / Russian border with Ukraine>Russia stages it’s troops in contaminated areas that received 70% of the fall out from Chernobyl>9 months later Russia invades Ukraine, moving troops through the Chernobyl exclusion zone
>>65140297Don't forget stopping in the zone and digging up spil which had contaminated stuff buried in it.
>>65139934>It really seems retardedthat's just par for the course in this retarded invasion
>>65139934It was like one of those tower defense games. But ukraine had years to build defense and ziggers only had one wave to send.
they never managed to form a coherent front there, choosing instead to simply drive towards Kiiv and run out of fuel/ get routedpainting a map online doesn't mean you actually have units over every square kilometerplus they were getting btfo by random hostile territory events like: random grandpa pulling RPG from his garden shed and blasting the fuel truck, running out of fuel and gypsies steal your tank, stuck in a 200km convoy of vehicles out of fuel, grandma giving everyone rat poisoned vodka, the list goes on
A simultaneous offensive across multiple fronts was the Red Army's golden rule.
