Some good old doomposting on Avdiivka: "The current results of the offensive, which has been going on for almost 10 days, are in no way worth the losses incurred."

It may be early to make conclusions, but it could be noted that the first major operation by Russian MoD without su1cide squads (Wagner convicts) did not bring the expected and advertised results. Turns out you need a bit more than throwing human waves at the enemy.

MoD forces were unable to achieve a major success. The myth about the ever-strengthening Russian army proved questionable.

But the battle is likely to continue in an attempt to save face.

Russian channels continue commenting on Avdiivka with some fascinating levels of doom:

"Judging by the enemy’s video recordings, we have ALREADY lost no less equipment than they did during the entire summer campaign near Rabotino. And if they initially did not intend to hit with all their might, but only imposed local activity all summer, then the plan is quite workable."
