"Russia's Resilience: Adapting to Equipment Losses in Ukraine Conflict"

A new analysis suggests that Russia can sustain its current equipment loss rates in Ukraine for 2 to 3 more years, possibly longer, due to its production capacity and storage reserves, despite losing hundreds of armored vehicles and artillery pieces per month. However, some of the stored equipment is outdated. Ukraine has struggled to field new units with sufficient equipment, with US aid for Ukraine stalled in Congress, potentially placing greater strain on the Ukrainian military if support continues to be withheld.

"Milblogger predicts a renaissance of infantry combat in Russia's military"

Russia is increasingly relying on large infantry assault tactics in Ukraine, possibly due to widespread equipment losses and a lack of trained personnel. While some Russian milbloggers believe this strategy will lead to a "renaissance of infantry combat," others argue that it reflects heavy equipment losses and poor frontline coordination. The reliance on infantry-led assaults has increased as the conflict in Ukraine has shifted to static and attritional fighting. However, there are concerns about the effectiveness of these tactics and the ability to train a sufficient number of troops for significant advances.

"Russia's Shift to Infantry-Led Frontal Assaults Amid Equipment Losses"

The Russian army is increasingly relying on infantry-led frontal assaults due to a lack of adequately trained personnel and significant military equipment losses, according to a report by the Institute for the Study of War (ISW). Milbloggers have noted that this reliance on assault tactics is a negative reflection of Russian equipment losses and poor frontline coordination. The Russian General Staff appears to be heavily relying on frontal assaults as the predominant tactic in Ukraine, as part of their solution to the problems of "military parity" in positional warfare.
