    So they’re going to use up their last available reserves in a desperate and pointless assault whereafter they still get curbstomped by their opponent who still maintains air superiority and controls large amounts of armoured reserves?

    Sounds about right.

      To be fair, it’s not like they had any real choice here. The regime in Ukraine is entirely dependent on western support to function. That means they can’t be seen to be losing by their western sponsors. When the front started to buckle in the east, they had to draw attention away from that, hence the Kursk stunt.
