Of course there would be maps, but a minefield is only effective if it's blocking a major route of transit that the Russians still had to use to supply their own troops. I don't think at that point in time putting a massive minefield in the middle of Ukraine was really on the table since neither side even knew where the frontline was or was going to be.

I don't think Ukraine will go on a Kharkiv-like gains after penetrating the last Surovikin line. I've been reading Russia has been expanding the defensive lines the entire time. They're furiously building fortifications around Tokmak right now.

I suspect Ukraine has been taking a lot of casualties this whole counteroffensive. Probably going to be a lot of pain for every little bit of territory they gain south. I hope that's not the case, but just being realistic.

Regardless, the tides of war will turn on politics as opposed to loss of lives. Russia with it's logistics and supplies problem, conscription problem, and very low morale. Ukraine has the balancing act of trying to get continuous supplies and maintaining good relations with Poland and Slovakia. And the West increasing as opposed to decreasing support. Which will break first will determine the outcome of the war.

Poles have always been smart and tough. They have seen the light at the end of the tunnel in this conflict. They are now preparing themselves for their new neighbor to the East. Those boys put up a hell of a fight against Nazi Germany.

And how long did they put up a fight for?

Ukrainians may be illustrating Russia's lack of control. Russia has not been able to maintain peacekeeping force in Azerbaijan. It has been unable to secure its own air space. Ukraine is also illustrating that African warlords may not even be getting what they think they are...

Ukraine really is fighting a different kind of war.

True story, This war will change things forever....maybe UKR can take over or disrupt Wagner in Africa. This war even when it ends will never end and UKR will have to be at a state of war or ready for war on going because of Russian non stop BS.

Going to be interesting how the f-16 program evolves.

There's no supply or production issues for the most operated fighter jet in the world. I don't know how many f-16 missiles are in storage around the world but it's basically a bottomless pit.

You have got to stop with the airborne drop nonsense. It is truly beyond ridiculous.

No more ridiculous than a frontal assault on Russian defensive positions manned by machinegun, snipers, concertina wire, artillery, mines and trenches. How well did that work in WWI. You are the historian.

35 days, but time has nothing to do with it. They stood their ground and fought even knowing their chances were next to zero.
We (the US) fought in Vietnam for 8 years with a superior Army only to lose in 1975. Then we lost again in Iraq and Afghanistan with a superior Army. Ukraine did so well in early 2022 only to suck now towards the end of 2023 with superior weapons. You can't win a war with a diminishing Army, but the media does not want to talk about that.

...and now the regular Russian military are losing ground in the area. They lost the high grounds south of Bahkmut earlier this week and lost another colonel to enemy fire that was trying to salvage the situation.

Spelled Bakhmut. It is only a city. Conquering a city does not equate to winning a war. Ukraine still has to conquer 44,825 sq mi of ground from Russia. I don't see it happening. Not with the size of their current Army. Where is the Ukrainian Air Force in the middle of all this?

Everything you say is nothing but a hot bucket of horse shit, you have battles with over 20 people for a reason, do you really think everyone else is dumb and you are smart? You need help....
