Russia - threadbanned users in OP

Well , carlsbergs russian assets are likely to get "nationalised"anyway, and then farmed off to some government crony -

Welcome to the war in Ukraine

Not really. The public company's managements job is to maximise shareholder value.

There's been talk of a potential Russian offensive for a while,even some random bloke Sean bell was talking about for a a week or two on sky News

The Russian Late Late show host is not happy about the bridge.

Not saying Russia won't be able to launch a counterattack, but the 100k numbers don't sound very realistic - has anyone seen a picture of even a single large concentration of Russian troops?

Important to stress that this offensive if it is in fact true and not simply reserve movement: Will face the same issues that Ukraine has faced in the south except much much worse. The lines in this area haven't moved in 9 months. Ukraine has had all that time to build lines and mine the f**k out of the area. Russia have no air superiority. Ukraine now has or will begin to receive hundreds of thousands of cluster munitions. Russia does not have the same ability to target and disrupt Ukranian supplies since the east of the country is not supplied by a thin landbridge and a couple of rail lines.

On top of this where is the ammunition for all these systems going to come from? The only real gains Russia has been able to make in this entire fiasco has been when their artillery advantage at any given point has been at 10:1, their entire strategy revolves around it. Himars brought that to an end. So unless they somehow pull a few millions shells out of their ass(I guess we don't really know how much they have) I don't see how they'd even manage to take Lyman.

If I was to guess this is a strategy to distract the current Ukr counter offensive and bait their reserves away from the south and draw the war out longer. Maybe it'll work. Who knows.

@Virgil° Ukraine now has or will begin to receive hundreds of thousands of cluster munitions. .

Hundreds of thousands of cluster munitions?, not so sure about that ,yes they have received clause munitions recently but hundreds of thousands of them ?

Something needs to be done before these guys get moving or it could be why some we have not seen some of the Ukranianian divisions yet.

I'd say it's been photographed and analysed by every NATO satellite and multiple strategies pondered.

I genuinely wonder if the Russian Army has the Will to actually go on a major offensive.

Ah well, those Tungsten warheads would be put to proper use.

I guess we'll find out Very soon how many missile's Russia has stockpiled when Putin gets his revenge in the next few days.

What Ukraine may have possible used against the bridge.
