Brig Gen Oleksandr Tarnavskiy estimated Russia had devoted 60% of its time and resources into building the first defensive line and only 20% each into the second and third lines because Moscow had not expected Ukrainian forces to get through.
The hubris is shocking
Guys don’t forget how amazing it is already just by saying the word Russian defensive line. Russia was supposed to be the top dog, but it is now in defensive position.
Yeah if we’re talking about the aggressor’s defensive lines somebody done goofed
I wonder how far out of the norm this is. I’d imagine the first line is usually going to have the most time and resources dedicated to it, but ignoring the fallback lines because “nah theh won’t breach it” is just stupid
It has probably less to do with ignoring the fallback lines and more with the fact that they simply don’t have the recources and time to build any kind of foolproof defensive lines. Their troops are stretched quite thin there and by strenghtening one part you’re just going to make the Ukrainians attack you elsewhere.
Russian command underestimating their opponent and/or being incompetent. No, we haven’t seen evidence of that anywhere in this war so far.
Slava Ukraini
Very good news! Godspeed for those in the front.
To be honest, if I was Putin, I would have killed myself at that point. He has no reason to exist for the future. Just pure suffering and humiliation.
But somehow ofc he will turn this into a “it’s NATO’s fault” or another narrative to turn the hate elsewhere for average ZRussian copium
He doesn’t have to kill himself, he has enough money to disappear and live in a mansion in a 3rd world country.
