    Judging on how fast the southern flank collapsed afterwards, Vuhledar might actually have been more strategically important than Avdiivka, we're talking about a month or so of fighting and velka novosilka is encircled, the entire suki yaly river chain of villages has been captured and kurakhove is gone.

    • @martinhuhn7813
      @martinhuhn7813 2 дні тому +9

      None of those pushes on its own did the trick, what really made the advances possible was the continuous strong push at all the adjacent frontlines in the whole region.
      The fall of Avdiivka came first and without the massive breakthrough there, the whole Vughledar region would have been far better defended. Also, the attack on Kurachove largely came from the Avdiivka direction, not from the Vughledar side.
      And more importantly, don´t just look how much ground was captured, but also consider what places have been captured as a result of the fall of each frontline. If you look for captured ground within settlements, the fall of Avdiivka and what directly followed was more than an order of magnitude bigger then what the fall of Vughledar did. And if you take captured fortifications as the metric, you get a similar result.
      But most importantly, look at the implications in the future. Vughledar leads to the fall of Velyka-Novosilka in the near future, but after that, the offensive would be pretty much stuck south of a main ukraininan line of fortifications. The push which originated at Avdiivka however, is going to continue north of that line of defense and beyond all prepared ukrainian lines. And together, they are set up to break the whole ukrainian southern frontline, including most of the Saporizia defence.

      @@esense9602 well that makes zero sense, if there are heavy defense lines behind somewhere that can be held that makes the place less strategically important, not more.
      After avdiivka fell the semenivka defense line held for 2 months, in 2 months after vuhledar fell the front was overrun over with 400km sq captured 3x the area taken in the same time in the avdiivka front.

    I have read about the salient battles of the eastern front in WW 2 and your mapping shows the ground maneuver just like how it was done then.
    Just a suggestion.

  • @lexicdark
    @lexicdark 2 дні тому

    I would like to say first, good work on researching and presenting all this data.
    The biggest issue is that mapping only shows a quantitative physically occupied land - the front line.
    What would be nice is to assess more of the qualitative aspects and how they can impact positions - which includes things like: all infrastructural elements, resources, bases, etc and their ability to deliver. (eg. damaged power station delivers 0%, if one gas turbine is repaired then 25% an how it impacts on the operational status of the country - what region does that power station provide for? what are the impacts of this?). So there are many 'non front line' aspects on the ability to deliver military operations. Road access is only one part of this (also when going cross country ground conditions and seasons. some areas are bog, some soils get soggy etc).
    Also of note is the variation/changes in tactical operations 'lessons learnt'- eg tanks are not that directly usable as drone warfare is now to the fore. Similarly ground based anti-air keeps out the dreaded air superiority. The us of FABs retrofitted as glide bombs means that old ordinance can be used in news ways. etc
    Highlighting these issues and tactical changes over time would be good.
    And we haven't touched much on 'defense _politics_' which includes other dimensions- like the gas pipeline issue which has massive external impacts, use of propaganda (black, grey, and white), sources of info for mapping: quality of source, validation, etc
    I would love to see you broaden your discussion scope in these and more areas.
    Even the issues of keeping objective to minimize bias so you can keep a clear indication of what is _actually_ going on.
    Keep up the work on this complex and quite demanding work.

    what a great year on this channel...best analysis on UA-cam...Wyatt within the coming year I would suggest the following...what if the ukraine war is viewed more as a battle in the overall WAR of the west versus russia. I b believe that russia even winning a stalemate, frozen conflict is not the end of the war , nor is it something that russia might even want...russia's economy before the war was an energy exporting economy and many of their buyers are no longer buyers , certainly in the same amounts...and over the coming decade less still...russia's economy now has massive inflation and is in a war time economy...once the war ends...how do they deal with this they are producing weapons which serve no purpose anymore and have to completely dismantle their huge military weaponry producing infrastructure that they have built up for what?...all those factories, workers have to be directed somewhere else....massive payments to families for dead soldiers and pensions come due....all of these soldiers now need jobs once the war is over...and just because the war in ukraine, or BATTLE in ukraine is over...what is next for russia...or maybe russia continues the war for that reason...keep draining Western Europe and the United States of weapons and money,,,push towards Odessa....push for a complete ukrainian collapse.....this seems like an economic war of the 29 trillion gdp usa vs the 2 trillion gdp of russia...seems obvious who will win that...and then you have Russia's positions in other parts of the globe, syria and the Middle East, Africa, Georgia, Moldova, etc etc....and then we need to look at the rise of BRICS versus the petrodollar,,,,and of course Israel reshaping the Middle East and challenging iran...and china' and Russia's commitment to iran...and North Korea will they make a move against South Korea...and china with Taiwan...it seems to me that ukraine is just one battle in what is likely world war 3 right now...and many interesting things will unfold in the next year...and I look forward to your analysis...

      Fun fact:No Pro ukie will make a video like they did for 2022 and early 2023.It does'nt fit the narrative. Even Armchair historian did not make anything about the ukraine war when russia launched it's counteroffensive.Then ofcourse there is also the youtube cencership
