Siege tactics
Bring the artillery forward and level every town city and forest they find Ukrainians in
Same as Syria & Grozny
And with some added Syria & Georgia play book material, chemical weapons attacks
Russias playbook is obvious to anybody paying attention
After two weeks the Russian military still doesn’t have air superiority, it’s suffered heavy aircraft losses, it’s done the majority of its laser guided munitions now relies of dumb bombs and while flying at 1,000 ft because Ukraines air defence is still majority active, it’s main columns are stalked due to food and fuel shortages because they can’t protect their supply columns, it frankly embarrassing
The only way forward is siege tactic and chemical & biological weapons, and I think Putins psychotic enough to use whatever means necessary to get his conquest of Ukraine in the bag. He probably gets his confidence from tucker Carlson and Woke’anon that he’s doing the right thing killing civilians and stealing an entire country
Doctrinally, the numbers make sense. An invading army should expect three times the losses of the army on the defense if the two armies are equally matched. These numbers suggest that the two militaries are fairly equally matched and that neither side necessarily has a technology advantage. The list of lost equipment also indicates the initial Ukrainian strategies for countering the Russian forces. At the start of the invasion, the Ukrainians targeted Russian tanks in an effort to stall the offensive. Once they succeeded in doing that, they shifted their focus to other Russian vehicles, including command vehicles and sustainment/support equipment. The Ukrainians seem to have specifically targeted engineering assets and recovery vehicles. By taking out these vehicles, the Ukrainian military is limiting Russian movements and further slowing their advance. By slowing the advance, the Ukrainian military additionally stresses the Russian supply lines, which must make sure that vehicles are fueled and soldiers fed.
