Even now, we have enough people and ammunition to reliably stop front, - Butusov
At this point, the stability of the front line depends on the stability of the combat formations, particularly the UAVs tasked with providing cover for their infantry.
This was stated live on air by Yurii Butusov, commander of the unmanned systems platoon of the "Chartiia" brigade, according to Censor.NET.
The elimination of 50,000 invaders
He noted that Russia mobilizes about 35,000 to 40,000 people per month.
"I am confident that even if we eliminate 30,000 Russians—35,000 a month—they will not be able to advance. Any serious offensives are impossible if, as Minister Fedorov announced, 50,000 occupiers are eliminated per month; if we organize it that way and restructure our army so it can do this—50,000 per month—it’s achievable. In principle, the enemy will be unable to take any active action; moreover, with such losses, they will be unable to advance or even defend themselves—they simply won’t be able to," Butusov explained.
According to the commander, the Russians will attempt to launch active offensives across the entire front line: in the Kharkiv and Sumy regions, in the Donbas—specifically in Sloviansk, Kramatorsk, Dnipropetrovsk, and Zaporizhzhia.
"They will no longer launch attacks on all fronts as they did before; instead, they will try to create relatively narrow strike zones where they attempt to force us into intense combat."
"In other words, a firefight—they’re trying to force us into a firefight in an area that’s tactically advantageous for them, where they can force us into a firefight, where they can increase our infantry’s casualties, destabilize our battle formations, and exploit problems in our organization, low troop strength, or poor troop management, and break through our lines right there," he noted.
In his view, the stability of the front line now depends on the stability of the combat formations, particularly the UAVs, which are tasked with providing cover for their infantry.
Front
"The situation on the front lines is far from stable, and as we understand it, for Putin, even 35,000 Russian casualties are absolutely no reason to stop. On the contrary, if they’ve already sacrificed 35,000 to capture 160 square kilometers, Putin would sacrifice another 200,000—he’d sacrifice another 50,000 without a second thought.
Therefore, this strategy of accumulating losses must be implemented, but it is equally important that we halt the advance. Halting the advance right now is primarily an organizational and managerial issue that depends on commanders at all levels, starting with the highest. And I have said many times that even now, right now, we have enough people, enough drones, enough ammunition, and, most importantly, enough people to reliably halt the front, reduce our losses significantly, and greatly increase the enemy’s losses," he concluded.
