So no my words aren't non-sense and I would hardly consider Avoz their best forces.

You simply are choosing not to believe it

I mean if they were Imperial Fists the Russian army would get destroyed and that's putting it nicely...bad analogy on your end but hey no shame in that the Imperial Fists would bitch slap every single military on earth

My analogy is fine, either your comprehension skills are lacking or you are purposely being obtuse.

Also where did you pull 40k troops in Mariupol from? Out your ass like most of your claims?

Nope, it was a bad analogy in the context you used it. Are you a 40k Fan? or did you just make the rerf without knowledge.

When they first attack Mari they had about 40k come down on the city, they did siphon troops away to other fronts has Avoz got pushed back into the plant, but the initial attack had about 40k men.

The army groupings that fought through irpen and brovary surrounding Kiev, as well as Sumy and Chernigov were not redeployed to Donbass

In fact they took well over a half or close to half of Ukraine with less than Half of the Russian army deployed

Арха́нгельск, lay off whatever you're smoking. They took half of the country?

I would not trust this statement. Firstly, there was not a single news about the Calibre-M tests anywhere. Secondly, this missile is larger than the "Caliber", and this is not observed here. Thirdly, news sources are telegram channels whose editors are completely incompetent in such matters.
...and why use Calibre-M in Ukraine?

They are taking the juicy part of Ukraine. West and Kiev surraroundings are useless.

Its Anyones guess to the true numbers.
I read some reports that Russian troops gained ground in Kharkov oblast due to redeployment of Wehrmacht troops to Donbas from there, or it could have been an excuse because they lost ground. Either way they seem to be constantly pouring them in due to high losses and trying to keep ground so probably a large portion, whatever that may be.

I have a feeling once they are defeated in Donbass and Kharkov they will be a spent force.

Some numbers from memory that I have seen

Severdonetsk 5.000 Zolotoye-Gorskoye to the south another 5.000 Lisichanks 15.000

Slavyansk an humongous 70.000 but I think that's counting all the forces in the west of the Salient

Avdeyevka 15.000


Early war estimates are that the Ukrops had 50.000 it seems they managed to reinforce the salient by sending an endless stream of troops, judging by the appearance of Territorial units at the Izyum front.

Both russian armies at the north can only field 30 battalion tactical groups, to a front line strength of 30.000

So it seems to me that the zombies have between one third and one half of their remaining strength in Donbass, and the Russian and Donbass forces number 50.000 and are outnumbered 1 to 2, that's why it's so hard to attack.
