The point of Russia's meat wave tactics - eviltoast

Russia takes huge losses with the so-called human meat wave attacks that they use on the frontline. In this video I discuss the meaning, and why the Russian commanders may see the casualties as a benefit rather than a problem.

    Tl;dw:

    In the videographers opinion, there are two points:

    a. They work and provide battlefield results.

    b. Russia is trying to signal determination.

    Then a rant that the same signal probably bolsters western aid, as it creates a sense of urgency for aiding Ukraine, where a static war would not.
