One of the Ukraine commanders was commenting recently how Russia isn't running out of man power any time soon, contrary to the impression/opinion of some, but it is increasingly composed of poorly trained troops with low moral. They still have a lot of effective artillery and counter-battery capability, anti-tank and anti-air though making assaults hard.

Lots of guns for sure but have you seen the state of some of the ammo that's making it's way to the front? Boxes of rust would be an accurate description.
 
Somewhat relevant:


Doesn't surprise me as there are a few videos around of the Ukrainian BTR-4 with its 30mm able to disable and even destroy Russian tanks from the rear/sides including the T-72B3.

Just watched a convoy of tanks and ifvs moving down a winding single track just shows how much they can just throw away!

Russia is in a bit of a race against time currently between exhausting old stocks of tanks, artillery and IFVs and getting new stuff into mass production (VPK-7829, reworked T-80 for war time production and various mobile artillery systems like the 2S40 - many of these seem to be old is new again kind of modernisations of previously retired/obsolete platforms) to replace them, possibly one of, though not the main, reason they are churning out a lot of disposable troops currently.
 
The assaults around Andrivka are certainly showing in the numbers. Attrition rate has been 300-500 a day during Ukraine's counteroffensive but today it's spiked to nearly 1000.

Interesting they've taken out more tanks in one day then they have delivery vehicles.

Edit:
I've posted a jpeg as some of you don't seem to get the feed from X (X seems problematic on mobile devices)

This is what happens when the Russians are no longer protected by 50 metre deep minefields.
 
I'm not sure what Im watching here but some of those shots look like my lag prediction shots with a 300 ping on HalfLife AG back in the day. (added the AG to see if anyone remembers)

I read somewhere recently that one of the things hampering the Russians is a lack of counter-battery radars, which Ukraine now enjoys an advantage in with more and more being delivered, while Russia’s have suffered attrition that they can’t replace. leading to events like the spectacular HIMARS strike last month, where in the space of about a minute, 4 Russian MSTA 152mm SPG’s were struck, one by one.

Unfortunately these armour penetrating simulation videos have a lot of problems, the videos are for war thunder nerds and not real life

Oh yeah but there is something to them - as mentioned there is footage from Ukraine of 30-40mm cannon being able to disable and even in some cases destroy tanks from enough rear and side hits.

Dunno, there have been a few cases of the armour layout and thickness being revealed by serving members in a bid to show off and the ap rounds
