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.

My armchair general take is that Russia is just flinging whatever resources they have left

Maybe, but instead of wasting enormous ressources on a costly offensive, they could defend their existing positions at much lower cost.

I honestly think that these tactics are a sign of desperation,

Yes, I think it's a kind of desperation too, which makes you wonder, because Putin was always considered as this super cold calculating super sharp strategist.
Seems to me he is not, and he made a huge blunder with the invasion, and now he is panicking to try to make it work, despite it obviously doesn't.
