#КазачьиЛагери (maps.app.goo.gl/WdqwofAdoYok…), Херсонская обл., подробный рассказ о том, как проходила охота на "Солнцепёк". Везучий был, зараза, за 2 дня до уничтожения пережил 2 подрыва на минах (полное видео тут t.me/robert_magyar/715 или тут youtube.com/oT_sROdC8W0?si=JtEz…) #Мадяр

@J_JHelin: I think the greatest failure of the offensive happened during the planning phase by underestimating the Russians. US and other Western input should perhaps have been able to catch this but that didn't happen.

I have a hard time picturing any realistic alternate scenario leading to a vastly different outcome, in main due to the Russians and their defensive effort.

@Varsevan @J_JHelin: Those are valid points.

By alternate scenarios I'm mainly thinking about Western equipment donations which is what many bring up, that we didn't resource the offensive properly.

Yes, there have been deficiencies in Western support but more equipment alone wouldn't have solved internal Ukrainian issues.

@J_JHelin @Varsevan: And the Russians would have been the same, with a greater ability to generate replacements and reserves than many, myself included, believed back in spring.
