human wave tactics being employed in bakhmut by the wagner PMC, I want to see such tactics in action what part of this is hard to understand?
Show me a wagner squad "charging" or attacking an ukranian fortified position with nothing but "sheer numbers" as you described

But that would just look like a regular firefight. If I sent you a video of something like that happening you would just instantly discount it as just a regular firefight.

no it wouldnt, normal assaults have artillery, drone or armored support, you just have no evidence

I never said that they weren't using additional supports though. You can use all those supports and still be doing human waves.

you said "their only advantage is sheer numbers", and no that would be a regular combined arms assault

As in, on an individual basis the only advantage of a prison conscript is that you have a lot of them and they highly expendable. They could also have the advantage of flanking or using a drone, but thats not what Im talking about.
There is literally no rule saying you can't combine this with human wave tactics.

A "human wave attack" is an offensive infantry tactic in which an attacker conducts an unprotected frontal assault with densely concentrated infantry formations against the enemy line, intended to overrun and overwhelm the defenders. Usually little or no armor is involved
Again, do you have any evidence of this happening?

So all you need to see is an attack of infantry without any support to believe there is human wave tactics?
