You heard? Oh ok. Not trying to be a dick but it can be really amusing the way this war is talked about. Everybody knows all the details, everybody's a strategist.

That 60/20/20 split for the three main defensive lines was an Ukrainian military assessment when the offensive began...

Most likely russia calculated that surviving 1st liners would reinforce the 2nd line and the more elite reserve troops would counter attack when possible.

Lots of running away dropping weapons instead of organized controlled retreats russians are now known to be able to do. Maybe the competent commanders are really purged again.

Fair enough, there's propaganda everywhere and I'm just some random person (or dog?) on the Internet. But hey, I don't remember where I hear every single thing, it is what it is.

It was a commentary made by a ukranian official I think. But it was repeated by people that report on front line status which is where I heard it. How true is it however? Not sure.

I'm rather sure a UA military official told that to a reputable international news organization. Can't recall exactly which.
