Thanks Ryan, I very much appreciate your expertise here. Personal aside, I sure wish we’d hit when Russia was weak. Thinking particularly when Prigozhin went rogue. We’ve squandered so many chances to seriously smack-down Putin and his bizarre delusions of grandeur.

I think the Ukrainians coined the term for this war. I never took it as a Red infantry tactic AKA Chosin Reservoir style. Russian POWS have described tactics of sending groups of a dozen or so to advance until they could not go further and dig in. Maybe they have all been killed, but nonetheless, they send it in the next dozen. Rinse and repeat. This is just the way I interpreted the term.
