”War in Ukraine...
Ukrainian soldiers in Mariopol are surrounded. Yet they are still resisting and Mariopol is not fully in the hands of the Russians. Here's why...
In war, there's nothing more expensive than taking a territory with fantasies (foot soldiers).
Taking a city with fantasies, against fantasies, causes a lot of losses to the attacker. This is why it often takes at least 3 times more soldiers to attack than soldiers to defend. When the ground is easy to defend, sometimes it takes up to 10 times more soldiers.
In the case of Mariopol, the Azovstal industrial complex is easy to defend and its defenders are motivated. The place even includes many tunnels and nuclear shelters!
The Russians have another problem: they don't have enough infantrymen to take over cities and villages. It's not to mention occupying and securing these territories in the long run. If the Ukrainians start an insurgency like the Taliban did in Afghanistan, the Russians will have an even harder time maintaining order. They will then have to employ soldiers to take new territories and employ others to secure the territories they occupy.
The Russians don't have the luxury of losing too many soldiers. That's why they prefer bombing, artillery and heavy weapons.
So, to conquer and occupy territories, the Russians will have to use a lot more fantasies. This will lead to more Russian losses. This is one of the reasons why from the start I was convinced that the Russians couldn't get away with all of Ukraine.
