There was a reddit-logo thread recently where people were unironically parroting "human wave attacks" and it all just felt so deeply unserious. Like, if Russia really was doing that doesn't that just imply how wildly inept the Ukrainians are if they can't even overcome a tactic that was solved the day the automatic weapon was established?

Weird how the billions of dollars we've sent them haven't been able to equip them as well as soldiers in WWI.

The human wave attacks imho are an exaggeration of a real phenomenon with the Ukraine war. Obviously it’s dumb to think Russia just sends dudes out to get cut down, but it was a legitimate strategy, especially earlier when Wagner was doing a lot of the fighting, to send men out to intentionally draw artillery/small arms fire in order to reveal enemy positions for counter batteries. Any western nation would have done the same thing given the situation.
