A group of Russian servicemen recorded this video before being sent by Putin into a meat assault in Klischiivka, Bakhmut direction.

The men, counting 10 members plus 5 in support, were told to occupy a residential area in Klischiivka, where Ukrainian superiority was tenfold, in addition to firepower from Leopard tanks.

They added that in Klischiivka, Russians already lost 1000-1200 soldiers senselessly. This was necessary to enable positive reports on the news about Russian counterattacks in the area.

Recorded on 19 September, the video was meant to be released to the public if "something went wrong" with the men. Their fate is not known.

No, I've seen this phrase used increasingly over the past few months to describe this kind of thing. The meaning is as you surmised, it's an assault that is known to be simply feeding men into a meatgrinder. The hope is apparently to jam the meatgrinder with too much meat.

Also forces the Ukrainians to use artillery shells and ammunition.

The Kremlin has basically made the cold hard calculation that one Russian life is worth less than an artillery shell and some bullets and the chance of delaying the inevitable for a while longer.

Wouldn't be surprised that by the time this is over, half a million Russians are dead.

Of course, to paraphrase Stalin, it's not the dead that count, it's the people who count the dead. I'm sure they'll simply deny half of them died at all, and families will have to live with it. Just Russia things.
