Attrition as a Viable Strategy for Ukraine

Attrition is considered a viable military strategy for Ukraine, despite its unpopularity among some military theorists. It contrasts with the maneuver-based offensives previously favored by the West, which have proven ineffective under current conditions. The podcast underscores that large-scale conventional warfare often devolves into a battle of attrition, where manpower, ammunition, and the ability to reconstitute forces become critical. Without the capability for sustained offensive operations, focusing on attrition allows for the maximization of enemy losses, thereby increasing Ukraine's chances of holding the line against Russian forces.
