Russian Spring | The Ukrainian-NATO Forces Prepares More Attacks. Military Summary For 2023.06.10

Conflict update with maps from the Military Summary Channel. This guy, and a few other channels, speaks using chess terms: "possibilities", "forced to step back" ... basically the Ukrainians cannot now breach the Russian front lines. Their objective seems to be to get to the first line of fortified defenses and they can't get there. As pointed out by people like Col Doug MacGregor, the war is one of stand-off precision fire. Things like drones, artillery and missiles (ground or air launched) are destroying any heavy equipment, and infantry, at the front line positions. Unless the Ukrainians can stop the Russian drones and launch their own artillery to cover their advances they will always be walking into a storm of flying metal. Meanwhile the MSM constantly serves up an unrealistic account of the fighting, underplaying the fact that the Ukrainian side is being massacred (in a meat grinder).
