Who is doing the lying in this scenario? Is it the Russian people who have been told that they have been winning for 4+ years while the frontline barely moves.
Both sides are being fed delicious propaganda buddy, don't act like your shit don't stink.
Truth is Russia has bitten off more than they can chew here, there is no obvious route to Russian victory and it's looking worse and worse for your boys as each day passes.
Which side has been reduced to kidnapping terrified teenagers and 50 year olds into predator vans and shoving them into the front lines with a gun in their backs? Winning armies don't need to do Volksturm or man infantry positions with robots.
Ukraine has not yet started conscripting those under 24, Russia is not killing enough Ukrainian soldiers for this to be necessary and at current attrition rates it is unlikely.
Loving the projection here, Russia does this daily. Good old Soviet doctrine!
I'd rather a robot blow up than a Ukrainian hero. The robots are also doing a better job than the untrained, toothless Russian meat being fed to the grinder.
Overall in 2026 it is the Ukrainians who have taken the most ground. It is starting to look like it is Russia who has the manpower problem.
There's more to attrition than just military casualties
It is possible to be against modern Russia without invoking Goebbels
Lol you got everything you think you know about Russia from watching Enemy at the Gates and you think you know more about it's military tactics than the people studying them.
I'd rather have the manpower to actually hold positions rather than having to leave robots laying around to be easily jammed, flanked and captured but that's just me.
Nevermind, you clearly got your delusions straight from Joseph Goebbels. Hey remember when you guys were swearing up and down that Russian troops were fighting with shovels and had never seen washing machines, paved roads or toilets? Remember when you guys were calling them orcs? Remember then ten different times when Russia was totally, definitely about to run out of ammo and collapse? Good times, it sure was fun watching you guys learn nothing.
Uh huh, and what color is the sky in your realty? How many videos are there of the Russian military kidnapping struggling uncs to be used as cannon fodder for a nazi government that's banned elections? Can you find even one?
Let's make this fun: You save my username, and I'll save yours. If Russia loses, I'll write a big mea culpa post in the community of your choice admitting I was wrong. If Ukraine loses, you'll do the same. How bout it?
By the way, these robots they're using don't have arms. They can't reload themselves.
If the robots can't reload themselves, and they're the only units there, what does that tell you about the expectations of the people using them?
It tells you that they do not expect to hold the position long enough for reloading to become an issue.
When you definitely understand how wars of attrition work.
This is such a lame excuse, the heaviest attrition I have seen so far (other than the attrition to Russian soldiers teeth) is to Russian tanks, APC stocks, Russian warm water navy, ammo dumps and oil depots.
Imagine if 4 and a half years ago someone told you Russia was about to get into a stalemate war of attrition near current borders that would last over 4 years. The whole situation is an embarrassment for Russia at this stage.
Wars of attrition are not about territory. The fact that you don't understand this basic fact shows that you have no business braying on this subject. The whole situation is an embarrassment for brainwashed westies who think a war between NATO and Russia would be over in a few months. One has to have an utterly infantile understanding of the world to expect that.
"The fact that we're not losing as fast as we expected is actually a victory"
