From the V Kontakte page of PMC Wagner - military review
💬Why is Wagner effective?
🔷Because he threw away what is not needed - the military bureaucracy. And the system worked. There are detachments that fight effectively, and there are those that 500 people entered the forest belt and did not return. The same "meat" assaults. It's just that there are people who, with an effectively working system, make a result, and there are those who do the same, but nothing happens.
🔷Wagner are not terminators. At some point, the percentage of experienced and fired who left after the contract became higher than the percentage of those present. The combat capability of the unit is falling. Year people are fighting without rest! Of course, Wagner needs to bring people to recovery and increase combat capability.
2. Actions of the enemy
🔷Any person who understands military affairs, before advancing, cuts the ledge. So it is more convenient and practical. Under Bakhmut, we climbed out with a ledge, they decided to cut it off in the south and north. The most alarming moment is an attempt to break through in the Soledar area.
🔷By and large, these are not even undercuts on the flanks, but undercuts on assault groups. You can see how they hit. The enemy was not much expected to succeed, but they succeeded. They act as units that hold the defense. No new parts were introduced into the breakthrough. They act with the forces and means that were there at the moment.
🔷Parts of the breakthrough hit, and the units on the defensive wait and then are drawn into the breakthrough in the tail. They are given a little to recover, for a day or two they are not on the front. In this case, the enemy has units that were on the defensive.
🔷What is this? Combat reconnaissance, which began to develop successfully and which can be used for something more by introducing reinforcement. For this, reconnaissance in force is carried out. The blows they dealt at Bakhmut's head do not even cut the ledge. These are local successes, which, with development, will rest against Bakhmut.
Is the offensive carried out by groups the size of two tanks and two BMP-1s? No. This is a classic reconnaissance in force: they rolled out, looked, if it didn’t work out, they rolled back. Touching the defense.
🔷Hysteria is inappropriate - we need to look, give people the opportunity to work. An understanding will soon come of which parts have been introduced, if they have been introduced, whether there is a strategic development in the theater of operations on the left and on the right.
3. Why are we retreating?
🔷There is an opinion that the Lugansk infantry is retreating. The Lugansk units were knocked out to the maximum during the capture of Lisichansk. Remained mobilized, preparation - I will not say anything. Another question is how did Wagner intercept such attacks in a number of cases? Group of 4-5 people. Wagner is at war.
🔷The enemy has the initiative, conducting reconnaissance in force, which in a number of cases has achieved results. They hoped to reconnoiter, but reconnoitered in such a way that they developed tactical success.
🔷) The motivation of the Sun is weak. Technical means, forces of destruction are not enough. Communication is zero. Command level - I will not say anything.
In response to numerous provocations, we have a call "not to succumb to provocations" or "the answer will be monstrous" someday. Or "we're doing NBO, that's why we're moving so slowly." They openly print a list of traitors, the so-called. "peace parties". As a result of their actions, such regroupings are being carried out as the abandonment of Chernigov, grain deals.
🔷The situation is difficult. What do we expect from the aircraft in this state? Miracles don't happen. Yesterday, all day long, they dispersed the evil against themselves. They discussed the counteroffensive, this and that, they turned equipment around Kharkov. But it has been spinning for a year after we could not take it. Recently I read a chic analysis of the non-capture of Kharkov, where it is clear that we would have taken it if not for the leadership. They would have taken it with forces 3-4 times smaller than the entire Kharkov grouping of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
Equipment near Kherson on the other side of the Dnieper? I've been talking about this for two months. Battles have been going on near Orekhovo and Ugledar for the last 4 months. The only thing is that there are failures in the Bakhmut area. War Kitchen.
