Russia appears to have launched a “renewed offensive” against Ukrainian troops in the eastern part of the country as the war inches closer to entering its second winter, National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby said on Friday.
But Russian troops haven’t made much progress, Kirby said, adding that the new attacks are “not a surprise.”
“The Russian military appears to be using human wave tactics where they throw masses of poorly trained soldiers right into the battlefield without proper equipment, and apparently without proper training and preparation,” he said.
Great strategy Vlad, maybe Ukraine will just get tired of killing your meat puppets.
The issue is the meat grinder tactic can be very effective if you’re willing to use it.
Russia has more resources to burn so it may work out. But based on their previous strategic skill it’ll likely just be a huge waste of life.

Does it though? Modern Russia isn’t the soviet union anymore. Pulling subsistence farmers out of a town and marching them to the front at little to no cost to the economy doesn’t work anymore. Handing someone a rifle and telling them to move up isn’t really acomplishing anything anymore, other than losing people and rifles. Lets not forget Russia is not that much larger than Ukraine, they can’t sustain every loss.
You see, Killbots have a preset kill limit. Knowing their weakness, I sent wave after wave of my own men at them until they reached their limit and shut down.
Yeah I remember reading about how they lost like 100 vehicles in one day or something a day or two ago.
So standard Russian tactics then.
