En intressant analys som de facto stämmer;

🇺🇸🇪🇺🇺🇦 “If you were to create a new military unit and you had a large number of soldiers with the most military experience in the world (some Ukrainian officers are 8 year veterans), you'd figure that if you were going to make a new brigade that you'd mix some of them in to help.
I think one of the more interesting EUCOM pathologies you see is that they seem to genuinely believe that a freshly-trained "NATO standard" brigade would perform better solely on the basis of "NATO training" than a veteran Ukrainian equivalent.
You have the actual best tanks available to Europe (insofar as the 2a7 is mostly vaporware) being given to brigades commanded by 28 year olds with no military experience. Meanwhile the territorial gains that have taken place (all 3 villages!) have been accomplished by 128th.
I think that at the end of the day the resolute smugness of EUCOM planning will be remembered as the biggest flaw of this offensive.”
"NATO standard" betyder ingenting, "NATO" trupperna har lidit störst förluster medans "sovjetdoktrin" (inte Rysk doktrin) trupperna är de som gjort framgångar i "våroffensiven".
Framgångar = erövrat några öde byar i ingenmansland och blir mål för Ryskt artilleri. De hann iallafall hissa flaggan för lite PR bilder för att lugna pessimisterna (en liten stund iallafall).
