The experts are divided, some say the Russians are on the brink of exhaustion, others say Ukraine is losing the war as the Russians roll on with their endless supply of equipment and men. I look at it with common sense and try to take in as many factors and opinions that I can.
I've surmised that at least, America, the UK, Poland, Ukraine and several other NATO members and non members, want the Russian army destroyed or severely disabled. They see this as a opportunity to remove the Russian conventional threat from Europe for a decade or more and lead to liberal democracy spreading to Belarus too. Humiliating Russia is not a factor, the use of nukes is however and a direct confrontation is to be avoided as are attacks on Russia itself, except around Ukraine for military purposes and then confined to rail bridges and troop concentrations.
I don't think they are going to let Ukraine fail in this by not delivering sufficient arms that they can use to make a difference on the battlefield. More ammo, more guns and MLRSs are things they can implement on the battlefield quickly and training on other weapons and combat support systems is ongoing in the west. Things can can change though and they could also be using MLRS to keep Vlad in check, piss us off and the number of MLRS and the range of the rockets could change quickly. According to some reports Vlad was pouring in more T80 tanks and rocket systems, so he must be stripping his cupboard bare.
In a month or so, the Ukrainians should be able to begin offensive operations I figure, depending on how much we are throttling them. The Germans have promised much but delivered little to nothing so far, there seem to be long delays for everything with them. If the Ukrainians can avoid becoming encircled in the east and cause the Russians a lot of damage there, then they could rapidly go on the offensive in other places where the Russians are weak.
Right now is the critical time in the battle when the fighting and losses are at a peak, if the Ukrainians are losing 200 men a day, the attacking Russians are losing a lot more. The Ukrainians can replace their loses and have been training new regiments for 3 months with waiting lists of volunteers. If we supply them with artillery, drones and MLRSs, they should be able to do the job, better and more weapons equals less of their blood though. So I don't think we are gonna leave the Ukrainians hanging out to dry or stab them in the back. Vlad thinks he can win, must win and is throwing far more into the gamble than it is wise to do so, 85% of his total ground combat power. Quite a bit of his equipment is destroyed already and more might be either destroyed or trapped and captured. I think now the Ukrainians are picking off their artillery, as the Russians shoot up the cities and towns, the Ukrainians are using counter battery radars to take out their guns. Over time they can whittle the number of enemy guns and crews down, since they will be the biggest threat when offensive operations begin.
