Soime key notes:

Russia will have had 5-6 million artillery shells available over the course of this year. Wetsenr production cannot compete.

The trench war is not static or frozen in frontlines, but is a merciless war of the ressources is being fought, its about attrition - and Russia wins it and gains more and more the upper hand in this attrition warfare.

The attack on Charkiv already has begun.

There is a big and ever growing risk for a real massive operational breakthrough by Russia sooner or later.

Ukraine has small successes only on the lowest, the tactical level anymore. Strategically, operationally, logistically, it gets eaten up by Russia.



In an earlier interview a few days ago he pointed out that Ukraine cannot equip its new five brigades with armoured IFVs and APCs anymore. These brigades in principle are only infantry brigades. Means: slow relocation speed with high vulnerabilty against artillery. So they are now running out of APCs, too.



The F-16s arrive too late - as expected. They were needed one year earlier.

Artillery shells or not, Both sides have gone through barrels with little in the form of replacements. I just don’t see the massive barrages we witnessed at the out set of hostilities ever happening again by either side. This is a battle of meat waves.
