We need to talk about the losses that the
Russian side suffered at Vuhledar.

Most often only the "elite" 155th Marine Brigade
is mentioned, but in fact it was not the only

one that was defeated there.

Up to 9,000 servicemen participated in the
first line, the reserve and auxiliary units

in that offensive.

As of today, almost all of these units, with
the exception of the rear component, have

lost their operational capability.

And a subdivision is considered to have lost
combat effectiveness when losses exceed 30%

of the regular strength both in soldiers and
equipment.

But there is a nuance...

This entire above-mentioned horde with up
to 9,000 servicemen has lost combat readiness

because it has losses exceeding 50%.

The only ones who escaped humiliation on the
battlefield were the Private military company

"Patriot".

They were not sent to the meat grinder, but
that is a separate story.

Thus, very cautiously, based on the given
parameters, we can say that the losses of

the Russian troops at Vuhledar, according
to the most conservative estimates, exceeded

5 thousand liquidated, wounded and captured.

Likewise, the number of occupants' equipment
taken out of action is similar.

At the moment, the Russian command is solving
the issue of the additional staffing of the

units, without withdrawing them from the combat
zone.

In other words, the pressure on Vuhledar will
continue to bring biomass directly to the

front line, which may cause another peak of
losses among the invaders.

There is also a lot of talk now about the
offensive from the Luhansk direction and indeed

certain movements are noted there, but let's
not get ahead of ourselves.

Yes, from Swatovo to Kreminna the enemy has
concentrated rather serious, though questionable,

potential of forces and means.

Also, the activity of Russian troops is noted
in some parts of eastern Ukraine.

But, what was this activity?

And it was the withdrawal of enemy homeless
groups, without artillery or even equipment

fire support.

It's not hard to guess that Ukrainian fighters
turned to flee those who were left alive.

Yes, this can be regarded as reconnaissance
in combat.

But a reconnaissance of combat is an offensive,
in the full sense.

What prevented this reconnaissance of combat
from being supported by artillery, or at least

tanks and Armoured fighting vehicle fire?

It could at least minimize losses of these
units and increase the effectiveness of the

reconnaissance, but no.

And all because the Russian side is now in
a severe economy of equipment, so it is not

being thrown at Svatove and Kreminna for mundane,
routine sorties.

Especially after the Ukrainian fighters have
recently successfully reduced the 27th tank

regiment of the invaders to the size of a
company.

And they are saving the equipment exactly
for the offensive.

Or what they mean by offensive.

After all, if at this stage there is a severe
economy of equipment, then it is easy to see

the overall picture of shortage of Armored
combat vehicles.

And in the offensive it will be destroyed
non-stop.

Well, where with such a limited capacity they
are going to attack?

Nevertheless, the activity of separate units
in the " live meat" legion suggests that the

offensive has not begun, but the preliminary
sluggish stage has already been realized.

And the apogee of reflection itself could
start just by February 24.

This is the date on which the front is warming
up.
