5k Ukrainian troops are stuck here and another 5k in Kupiansk. What happens next will shock you!
>>519850511About to be encircled and BTFO filling the internet with another huge wave of rerkt vids.
>>519850511>stucktheyre just temporarily closed zigger
>>519850511Shitty weak ass arrows, and yesterday it was 60k ukrops, what happened?
>>519850792Ask the fingols that update the map. They err on the side of caution a bit much desu but are fairly neutral.
>>519850792>60kThe lines are so undermanned on both sides I bet it's not that hard to sneak out.
tud
>>519850511>What happens next will shock you!Russians get lured into killboxes where they suffer at the very least 10:1 casualties. No it doesn't shock me, Ukraine has used strategic retreats very effectively throughout the war to inflict maximum casualties on the russians
>>519851272nigga...
>>519851272>strategic retreats>getting encircled and hit with fabs
>>519851707Yeah, same as what happened over at kurakove or however it’s spelled
>>519850511Russia advances another 10 inches.
more lebensraum for churkas
Will the Ukrainian counterattack relieve the Kupiansk bastion? Weak ass blue arrow tho ngl.
>>519851924Pretty sure that's the column that the Russians posted videos of them destroying yesterday
>>519850511>What happens next will shock you!they get out ok like every other couldron vpn slavniggers harp on about?
>>519850511>200k!>60k>5k <-- you are here>0k>we lost
>>519851707When have they ever actually been encircled - they just hold and then pull out and then hold again and it take Russia a whole year to take the next 10k pop town
>>519852221>pull outthats the joke, they dont
>>519852525Source?
>>519850511Ruskies not being subhuman slaves would be really shocking
>>519852110Already? Kek>>519852221The only full one I've seen was in Mariupol. Seems they leave a 1% chance of escape gap nowadays and just spam it with drones when something moves instead.
>>519850511>What happens next will shock you!No. They will die or surrender as expected.
>>519852221The only successful encirclement of Ukrainian forces by Russia this entire war was Azovstal in Mariupol at the outset of the conflict, where Azov paramilitary refused the order to retreat and held out for months.Since then, Russia has tried and failed repeatedly to form encirclements. Though amusingly Ukraine has done so successfully a few times in smaller scales.Kotelposting is just Russian propaganda cope because their entire national psyche is still preoccupied with WW2
>set up defensive perimeter>waves of Ziggers come and die as recon>Russians eventually figure out the defenses>they send the real attack>Ukrainians already retreated to the next positionRinse and repeat. This is how Russia lost a million men.
And then the pigkraine will collapse and all the hundreds of thousands of young russians who've been maimed or killed in this war only to be replaced by import BRICS niggers and jeets by BASED vladimir putin will have been 100% worth it!
>>519850792thats the theory when all units involved are 100% manned. the fact that were at 10-15% unit size is not the flex you think it is
>>519853213Actually smart from Ukraine considering they have 3 times less manpower. Just a question of how many men will Putin throw at the problem until he gains whatever made up territory in his head.
>>519850511>What happens next will shock you!nothing?
>>519850511>5k Ukrainian troops are stuck here and another 5k in Kupiansk.Anyone believes this? It's just what Putin said after the negotiations kabuki theater. Are we sure 6 million is not a bit far-fetched?
>>519850511>What happens next will shock you!200,000 more Russians will die, and the Ukrainians will do a tactical retreat out of the pocket with limited casualties when the front lines get too close?
>>519852221why go for a full encirclement and have the ukrainians fight to the death? if you leave them a way to retreat they'll eventually take it and you can hit them with drones and artillery the whole time as they're running on foot through open fields
>>519851272You're delusional my dude
>>519852197More like >Russia lost!!!!1They’ll never admit defeat
>>519851272Since ukraine is the one surrounded doesnt that mean they are all already in the kill box?
>>519853139>Azov paramilitary refused the order to retreat and held out for months.They hid in a bunker behind women and children you retarded shill
>>519853596Correct answer.
>>519850511>>519850728>>519853045>>519853596>>519854746The 'ol pincer and then carpet bomb the fuckers to fertilize the kike ass raped land. Looking forward to more jewlinski death kino videos.
>>519856604How many Russians do you think are “surrounding” the Ukrainian forces?
>>519857390There's no Jewlensky death kino video whatsoever up until this point All the deaths have been goyims
>>519850511blah blah blah two more weeks and russia/ukraine will collapse muh kettles muh encirclements we captured/liberated another shithole village with a prewar population under 50k people!!!!! it's over for russia/ukraine!!!1who fucking cares. kill yourself.
>>519854746If you full encircle, the enemy can decide the location of the breakout. If you leave them a small "undefended" gap you can decide that for them. The catch being that it's under heavy fire control but there's still a chance of escape.>>519857489~100,000 around Pokrovsk.
>>519857694>100,000 around PokrovskHUNDRED THOUSAND SOLDIERS AND THEY'VE BEEN STUCK THERE SINCE LAST YEAR?KEKAROOOOOOOOOO
>>519857694Do you have a source for this number? I ask only because all of the footage coming out of this region only shows very small groups of Russian soldiers, which would make sense given that only around 5k Ukrainians are holding this circle
>>519852221Never, this war is too slow for actual encirclements.
>>519857760Yeah but the Ukrainians have about the same and it's white people fighting, not sand apes. Urban warfare takes time I guess.
>>519857760>Stuck thereMore like dug in and nice and cozy in deep bunkers
>>519857905>Yeah but the Ukrainians have about the samefunny, OP says its 5k. Yesterday it was 60k.Which one is it?If Ukraine has 100.000 soldiers, why doesn't russia just bomb it then? I guess at the same time Ukraine has zero soldiers left, and is able to fit 100k into a small village.Funny how this works in ziggerminds>>519857957aren't they supposed to like, attack? move this forever war along sometime?
Lmao at the level of /k/ope posting from the nafoids
>>519857811Thats not how modern warfare works retard. The small groups are just looking for targets then they call in airstrikes and artillery
>>519857811https://united24media.com/latest-news/100000-russian-troops-near-pokrovsk-alarm-europe-ahead-of-ukraine-security-talks-11370Ukrainian source if that counts.
>>519858119Not sure why I would believe a Ukrainian source, but let’s assume it’s true. The Russians have a 20:1 manpower advantage but have been slowly grinding this pocket for a year? Come on Nigel, that obviously wouldn’t be true. The numbers don’t add up
>>519858008>aren't they supposed to like, attackWhy? They are in very secure fighting positions and the ukrainians keep marching their recruits twords them(at gunpoint and shooting anyone who retreats or tries to surrender).
>>519850511>What happens next will shock you!
>>519858113Given how small this pocket is and the existence of spotting drones and satellites, why would Russia put the lives of its fighters in danger for such a purpose? You don’t seem to know much about modern warfare yourself.
>>519858119Thanks but CIA run media doesnt help
>>519858008100k in the surrounding area for both sides according to that article. The frontline is long af. The city itself has 5k Ukrainian troops left in it according to the Russians so interpret that as you wish.
>>519858302>Why?i guess they'll just never take the city then. fine by me if they keep bringing in BMP wagons full of ziggermeat to be blown upstrange approach to warfare but then again I'm not russian
>>519858383You sound like a faggotAm I right?Imagine pretending this wasnt an artillery war.Its war, tranny faggot shill, people risk thier lives.
>>519858419But you are a massive faggot shilling for Zelensky and friends.
>>519858626You sound upset.
>>519858383this. Just sit back and chill while they run for the exits and get smoked. Not that getting to this point hasn't been hard for the Russians. Shits like Fallujah on steroids and there's no shortage of these well defended towns to go.
>>519858383>why would Russia put the lives of its fighters in dangerwhy indeed>>519858407>ukraine has 5k troops, no actually 60k i mean 100k. not in the city, around the city. but russia has 100k in the city, no actually around the city, but they can't attack because there's too many, no too few. no they don't want to attack actually.
>>519858407So Ukraine somehow has enough manpower to equal the Russian encirclement, but somehow still managed to get encircled? Again, those numbers just aren’t adding up
>>519851272Stop embarrassing yourself, Pekka
>>519858749Exactly, so the strategy being outlined earlier makes zero sense. Having pairs of soldiers wandering through fields to spot targets is far less efficient than squeezing the pocket and tossing artillery in the resulting highway of death. Plus, given how small the pocket is, the Russians could just play “Battleship” so to speak, given that they reportedly have a massive artillery advantage. If there are actually 100k Ukrainians in that pocket, every shell will score a kill no matter where it lands
>>519850511cauldron?
>>519858825>So Germany somehow has enough manpower to equal the Soviet encirclement, but somehow still managed to get encircled? Again, those numbers just aren’t adding upStop being obtuse or am I missing your point you're badly making?
Gayest war ever.
>>519859109The Germans did NOT have sufficient manpower, which is precisely why they were steamrolled. Who lied to you about this?
>>519859109>>519859344
>>519859475Fair enough, bad example, but what's your point? Spell it out for me.>>519859015>squeezing the pocket and tossing artillery in the resulting highway of death. Encirclement 2.0
>>519859962My point is that the numbers are clearly bogus and if the Ukrainians actually had 100k soldiers in that pocket, there wouldn’t be a pocket. To further that, if there were actually 100k Russian soldiers, there wouldn’t be a pocket either, as the two cities would have already been captured. Based upon what we have seen, the number of soldiers being fielded here is clearly much lower, indicating far less of an initiative than online discourse may have suggested. Why else would the capture of Pokrovsk have taken over a year? The Ukrainians are abducting men off the streets to fill manpower shortages, so the Russians would have leveraged a manpower advantage to take the cities if it was their priority.
>>519855203I speak only facts, its you who have not spend any time studying ukraine's tactics>>519856604Russians are too incompetent to take advantage of encirclements. Instead they get lured into ukrainians traps>>519858996Not an argument
>>519860351I agree with what you've said, it's a fair analysis. There's definitely not 100k troops in the pocket, the civilian population of the city is only about that. 5k encircled at this point seems reasonable though. The 100k number only comes from that Ukrainian article I found pre Pokrovsk battle so I assume both sides have a somewhat equivalent force in the area otherwise one would steamroll the other. There's lots of back and forth, especially to the north of the city itself (bunny ears part) but the Russians have the advantage overall.
>>519861020>they get lured into ukrainians traps
>>519860351>Based upon what we have seen, the number of soldiers being fielded here is clearly much lowerBeing fielded absolutely. The frontlines look very low density, historically speaking. Not that there aren't reserves to exploit breakthroughs/plug gaps etc.
