The failure of Ukraine's 2nd attempt at a counteroffensive confirms new info for army generals around the world. Tradition says the attacking force needs a 3:1 ratio advantage of men to the defending force because 3:1 attackers will become causalities.
Defenders sit with a minefield in front of them, the attackers must clear it first, they do that by using air power and artillery to subdue the defender's artillery, and here's the lesson.
If the attackers don't have air or artillery power they need a ratio greater than 10:1, because that's the ratio of Ukraine troops killed or wounded in both these counteroffensive attempts.
Meanwhile, as Ukraine gets closer ''to the last Ukrainian'', Russia starts gearing up.
