What went so wrong? Why didn't Kursk offensive succeed?

Nothing. Change of priorities, Ukraine began to scale down that front after the victory of the orangutan, they did the same to refinery strikes and switched to depot and fuel depots strikes for some months. Obviously they are destroying more of those because it's obvious that you can't waste time with schizos.

3 days to Kiev?
8 months to push Ukraine's pocket out of Kursk...
And it took crawling through a carcinogenic shit pipe.

>>64264506 (OP)
because Nato-ukraine logistic is shit. Plus Russia is better at long long attacks.

>brownie freakout
ok what is the issue
>Summer 2025's Grand Russian Offensive into Sumy has essentially collapsed back to the boarder in most places
ah

The funniest part about all this is that Ukraine is actually gaining ground and advancing into Kursk again

>>64264540
Those retards finally accepted that Ukraine had prepared a killing zone for them in Ukraine during the +6 months they were in Kursk.

>>64264538
You guys get paid to do this shit. Could you at least work on your grammar?

>>64264506 (OP)
At the end of the Kursk campaign, 1 in 10 of Russia's casualties for the entire war took place in that 1% of the line of contact.
It did exactly what it needed to: got Russians out of the Donbass and into the wood chipper.

>>64264545
That feels more like a grey zone where the Ukrainians occasionally enter to raid Russian lines.

>>64264538
>Footage of ANOTHER Abrams . . .
Is it 2023 again?

>>64264506 (OP)
The offensive did succeed and russia almost lost even more of Kursk. A last minute rush in of several thousand meatwaves if mobiks prevented the Ukies from taking Koronevo and cut off a salient below a river west of it. Zigger seem to memoryhole quite fast how close they were to a big catastrophe.
UAF got the following out of it:
>forced russia to divert a lot of resourced and meat to Kursk instead of the donbass
>Showed the euros, that all the ukies needed was money, resources and trust to hold and force Russia to the table.
>Gave russian high command a good scare and forced a lot of the lazy border mobiks to build fortifications.
>Norks of all people were the tip of the spear to end the Kursk incursion and force the ukies out. While suffering horrible losses too, they still managed to maintain discipline, cohesion and momentum. Everyone except mobiks praised them, even the fucking UAF.
>Made russia look even worse as the seethe by mobiks about Norks being gentlemen that got pussy and the giga seethe about nice looking trenches and accomodations by hard working nork soldiers getting spammed everywhere on telegram.
>Chechen blocking detachments got a taste of their own medicine, as norks thought they were bandits and just shot them. Lol.
>Donnie really wants to be Putin's pal, so he turned of SIGINT for some time so Putin could get his Kursk clay back.

It was a fun adventure and we're kow seeing russia getting lazy again. Watch out for abother UAF gut punch, if the EU sends logistics troops to Ukraine and sends more money to dial up even more factories. Unbeknownst to russia, Ukraine actually now has a surprlus of arty shells each month and the draft age is still at 25. There's still plenty of fallbacks, despite jeets and ziggers spamming the opposite.

>got Russians out of the Donbass and into the wood chipper.

But anon, if u followed war thoroughly u would know that russian offensive on donbass sped up immediately after Kursk campaign

>>64264571
Anon, they still haven't captured a single major settlement in the entire Eastern front since fucking Bakhmut two years ago.

>>64264582
Kupiansk is starting to worry me, but yea, it's kinda not a great performance by the RuAF.

>>64264571
The "sped up" was a slow advance on empty zones but they are avoiding most settlements. Another thing that gained "momentum" are shahed drones and the reason is the same, Ukraine stopped receiving certain classes of weapons from the US because Trump is delaying the deliveries approved by Biden. It's specially noticeable in Odessa because Ukraine can't use pick ups in the sea.

>>64264506 (OP)
Those are some interesting contraptions on the vehicles, what are they called?

>>64264586
Kupiansk is basically meaningless in the grand scheme of things. Losing it would be bad and give western media another week of "LOOK, RUSSIA US FUCKINGBUP UKRAINE AGAINE" spam, but it won't open the road to Kiev and it won't end the war. It'll just be a bombed out ruin with a russian flag in it.
We've reached a point in this war where Russia is advancing for the sake of it and the leadership does not really understand the reality of it all. Once some part of the frontline will be sufficiently weak, the UAF will pounce and force a rout. This is when the pain will begin for the russians.
As of now, the ukies are doing their best to fuck up russian logistics enough to force dilemmas after dilemmas on the russian leadership.

>>64264538

Fucking skaven getting hired to shill are awful.

Source?

>>64264604
The southern front has been "quiet" for so long, that I'm mentally primed for something to happen there.

>>64264604
>>64264586
Reminder that this is what the past three years of Russian advances look like.

>>64264571
> that russian offensive on donbass sped up immediately after Kursk campaign
yes, their losses have sped up a lot in the last 6 months.

>>64264612
Reverse engineering. EURCOM's Estimate as of the start of April was 750k, while Ukraine's claims in totality were 900k. Ukie claims for Kusk as a whole were about 77k, plus 4.5k Norks.

Does Russia have any equivalents to EU development/reconstruction funds? Because their "new territories" are gonna need them.

>>64264642
Is that Avdiivka? Looks surreal with the grass back.

>>64264506 (OP)
Ukraine is weaker than russia so the offensive was doomed from the start
>>64264642
They are doing some sort of reconstruction in Mariupol but a full rebuild will take years if not decades

almost 2 years... 10km

>>64264655
>They are doing some sort of reconstruction in Mariupol but a full rebuild will take years if not decades.
How fucked did Kherson get?

>>64264604
Supposedly Russia has recruited roughly 37k men this past financial quarter which isn't good for them since if it's remotely true, then Russia is now losing twice as many men in a month than they are recruiting within that same time frame.

>>64264672
Yeah, that sounds pretty out there. Like
>Russian numbers
still stands, but damned if it doesn't look like they're making the 40-50k a month they say they are.

>>64264642
That's just Ruskiy Mir. Perfectly fine to move in (if you are a vatnik).

>>64264655
>full rebuild will
Never happpen.
Grozny was less-fucked after the Chechen Wars and still has rubble laying just off the main streets. And Chechnya has had quite a bit of money poured into it over the decades, plus a growing population.

Occupied Donbas though? Depopulated, defunded, and deported to Siberia. It will never be restored by vatnigger hands. If it remains in their dark clutches it might be re-settled by Turkmen in some generations as the Russian ethnicity (and state) will have long disappeared by then.

>Day-D losses
10k+
>Bahmut losses for ziggers
40k+
Just imagine this.

>>64264659
>2 years to capture what I could walk in 2 hours
jesus

>>64264716
The Americans pushed further into Normandy on the literal first day of the invasion than Russia has pushed in the last two fucking years.

>>64264506 (OP)
Ukrainians are still in the Kursk region.

>>64264557
That almost makes it funnier. At any given moment, Russia may not have the most capable army in Russia and they have no way to be sure.

>>64264604
Hohols are fucking delusional

>>64264571
The frontlines barely moved anon

>>64264545
>Ukies have retaken Krapivishnu
Two weeks until Moscow (the city, not the boat), friends!

>Why didn't Kursk offensive succeed?
It did, it preempted and fucked over the incoming russin operation and forced them to reallocate their forces

>>64264570
Don't forget:
>Prevented the pending Russian push into Sumy Oblast by forcing the forces intended for that to redeploy to Kursk
>Forced Russians to drop a shitton of bombs on Russia instead of Ukraine
>Seriously boosted Ukrainian morale
>Directly challenged the "red line" of Ukies gaining "officially Russian" territory, proving that Russia wasn't going to make good on any of that (note that the Ukrainians already held, and currently hold, "officially Russian" territory in the "officially annexed" four southern oblasts, but everyone ignored that - Kursk was a clear and unambiguous overrunning of the red line that everyone could agree happened).
>It was really, *really* fucking funny

>>64264540
Why do so many towns have the same name that close to each other

>>64264642
You've asked the wrong question. It's not "do they have the funds", it's "how much of the funds actually make it to reconstruction efforts".

>>64264716
>Bahmut losses for ziggers
>40k+
40k was just the cadre army, not taking into account the convicts

>>64264742
proofs?

Propaganda move
100k of the best ukrainians died here so westoids on reddit and /k/ could celebrate for few months

>>64264873
6 million actually

>>64264873
It was 400k you disrespectful faggit, never diminish the great russian army cock bitch

>>64264872
slay queeen yasss

>>64264873
And yet they’re still holding out

For those wondering, Russia has been losing territory for days now, Ukraine is starting to deploy flamingos which have a reach of 3000 kms, so Mosquew is now on the menu, expect more smooking accidents to moscovite infrastructure.

It fulfilled its purpose: scare the fuck out of Russia. Keeping it was out of the question with how psychotic ruskies are, besides Ukraine wants Russia out of their territory, not take over russian land.

>>64264889
