US don't have to notify Russia what they should have to do is to lunch ICBM to Russia and tell tell the Russia military to leave Ukraine with immediate effect and Vladimir Putin will understand much better

You didn't give me an example, you made up a fantasy in your head.
Nobody here knows how many troops were deployed in bakmut, you don't and I don't. What we know is is that Wagner took heavy losses taking very little territory in Bahkmut...
Prigozhin said he lost 20000 troops, only counting wagner soldiers, not including other russian troops. Add the wounded and they probably lost more than 60000 troops, just to take a tiny city.
We don't know how many ukrainians were deployed or KIA, but definitely not as many. There's no reason for the ukrainians to defend the city, if they were lossing as many troops. Ukraine wouldn't have an army left anymore, if they were taking as many losses as the russians.

Early on, the reported K/D ratio in Bakhmut was 7 to 1. 7 dead russians for every ukrainian. This probably got a little less favourable for ukr in later stages. Nobody can confirm those numbers but they seem realistic. The only value the city had for the ukrainians was that a ton of russians died trying to take it.

Why are u people such a big liar?
Prigozhin said he brought 50k soldiers to Bakhmut and lost 20% of them, which is 10k men. Please how did he lost 60k soldiers when his men is nt even up to 60k?
How can someone lose 60k men according to ur ratio: 7 dead Russian soldiers for every 1 Ukraine and still take over Bakhmut? Haba, do better now

There is no way Russia would have higher losses than Ukraine. It is impossible. Ukraine has higher losses in terms of personnel and equipment losses. It was a few months ago that the lady that leads the EU revealed that Ukraine had suffered over 100k casualties. That was the moment Western media switched from claiming "Russia is losing" to "Russia is fighting a war of attrition and both sides are losing".

As you correctly stated, the rule says the attacking force needs 3x more troops than the defender, if both armies are equal. But the figure could be reduced if one side is more powerful. Russia is the more powerful force here. Ukraine has lost the bulk of its navy, armor, and all of its air force. It currently relies on "defensive" weapons like anti-tanks rockets and manpads to counter Russia's offensive weapons like tanks and aircraft.

At this point, Ukraine easily has over a million troops in the war. It was like 600k before the war but they heavily mobilized. The numbers soon gave it an edge over Russia's 150k troops, which forced Russia to mobilize another 300k. Those 300k are not fighting. They're only used in defensive and rear roles to erode whatever advantage Ukraine got/will get from the massive mobilization.

That said, casualties are based on one thing only, which is firepower. The more powerful side has more firepower and can attack from longer ranges. This results in lesser casualties for the powerful side and more casualties for the weaker side.

But this strength factor can be affected by one other thing, which is "Who is attacking?" Let us assume the stronger side has 1 casualty for every 10 on the weaker side. When the stronger side is attacking, its casualties can easily go up to 2 for every 10 soldiers killed on the weaker die. If the weaker side is attacking, its casualty can easily go up to 15 soldiers for every one killed on the stronger side.

Now, you will be wondering, how is Russia still in the war despite being outnumbered by Ukraine?

It is because Russia prevents Ukraine from using its large army to its advantage. If you look at maps from this war, you will notice that Russia isolates battlefields. When it attacks an area/city, It blocks the flanks (sides) and then enters from the middle. Think of it as Russia drawing a letter U around a city. Ukraine can only send in reinforcements and resupply the battlefield using the open gap at the top of the U.

That is hard for Ukraine as Russia monitors the roads leading to that open gap and uses long range missiles, kamikaze drones, aircraft, and artillery to destroy any Ukrainian resupplies and reinforcements its spots.

The weird thing is that the strongest Russian units are the ones responsible for blocking the flanks. They are rarely deployed into the city to do the actual fighting.

We saw this happen in Bakhmut where Russia used its powerful armored units and the elite VDV to cover the flanks while Wagner entered the city. The same happened in Mariupol where Russian armored units, Marines, and VDV units covered the flanks while the Chechens entered the city. It also happened in Luhansk where Russian Marines, VDV, and armor covered the flanks while the Luhansk People's Republic and Chechens and Russian infantry soldiers did the fighting. Even the elite 1 Tank Army, which is responsible for protecting Moscow, was deployed to cover the flanks in Luhansk.

Mind you, the Wagnerians, Chechens, and Russian infantry fighting inside the city were outnumbered but they didn't have to bother about being attacked from the flanks, so they were able to focus on the battle. They had had heavy firepower too - way more than what Ukraine has. At the same time, the Ukrainians in the city had to put the Russians in the flanks into consideration cos they're even more powerful than the ones they were fighting with inside the city.

So how can Ukraine counter this?

Interestingly, the only way Ukraine could have won or at least prevented its destruction in Mariupol, Luhansk, and recently, Bakhmut, was not to focus on attacking the Chechens, Wagner, and Russian units inside the city but to focus on attacking the powerful forces protecting the flanks.

If those powerful units fall, the ones inside the city (Wagner, Chechen, and the Russian motorized infantries) will retreat. This was why the Wagner commander was shouting and fighting with the Russian general staff weeks ago. It wasn't because he wasn't been supplied as he claimed. It was because the Russian general staff planned to, and later withdrew the VDV from the flanks and sent in motorized infantry units as replacements. Motorized infantry is no match for mechanized infantry or armor.

I doff my hat.
You've just done what i don't have the time to do, hence my initial agreement with him, because I've been busy all day and don't have the time to lecture him.

This is a clear detail of what's happening and what happened in bakhmut.

The only problem is these western slaves who will rather remain myopic and emotionally dysregulated than accept reality.

What I've understood so far in this war is that every Ukraine supporter on nairaland that I've engage thus far can be classified as dumb.

A simple maths is like rocket science to them.

1. You don't understand the 'theory'. Obviously it referes to a situation were both sides are roughly equal in strength and not if one side has tanks and the other sticks and stones. This is literally understood by every military on the planet. The general rule is that the attacking force needs to have 3x more soldiers and equipment.
2. As one would expect, russia has had significantly higher losses.

Visually confirmed losses of equipment from both sides:
Ukraine - 3464, of which: destroyed: 2258, damaged: 216, abandoned: 95, captured: 895
Russia - 10500, of which: destroyed: 6920, damaged: 353, abandoned: 404, captured: 2823

lol visually confirmed by who? Where are the evidences of the confirmations? Who counted the equipment losses? With what did they use to count the equipments? . I hope you know no one takes that your link seriously?

⚡Moscow military analyst: “Once the Ukrainian army is defeated, the eight regions of Novorossiya will be inside 🇷🇺 Russia [Odessa, Nikolaev, Dniepropetrovsk, Kherson, Zaporozhye, Lugansk, Donetsk, Kharkov]. This is a war that has not seen a single ceasefire and there will be none.

This ends with the end-game. For the 🇺🇸 Americans a very substantial loss of face for Putin with a large number of casualties and some claw-back of territory taken by Moscow is victory. For the Russians, there are no half-measures. They have to seal it and they have to destroy or defeat the 🇺🇦 Ukrainian army on the battlefield. There will be no bargaining with anyone. Putin will not make the mistakes of Gorbachev to give back what has been won on battlefield. They [Russia] will come in and take the cities after the Ukrainian forces capitulate.”

I don't understand how some people never learn from history. RUSSIA has never lost any war. if anything, their empire and territory keeps expanding. Hitler and Napoleon learnt a bitter lesson not to confront Russia but Murica and her conquered vassals in Europe thinks this slow grind proxy will weaken Russia. They never learn.

Even if this war takes 5 years, all I see is Russian victory. Don't poke the bear 🐻.
