The tactical reason for the Russian army's failure in Kharkov is visible to the naked eye. Almost all Russian troops in Ijium area are on the front line of Slaviyansk -Baravenvo, and the flanks are completely handed over to the reserve militia that Luhansk dealt with the matter. There is no defense depth and no reserve team. Therefore, nothing can plug the loopholes in the defense line.
Three days to capture the entire Ijum region and scare away the Russian army in northern Kharkov. This gift package surprised the Ukrainians.
monster flattening the general? In June, he proposed that the front line was insufficient and should be mobilized. Who rejected him?
is of course Putin .
This man who knows that Russia is no longer the Soviet Union or even the former Tsarist Russian has been afraid to mobilize the people in order to maintain its weak foundation. With just a little contract soldiers and mercenary , we also need to reinforce Khelson. Of course, we can't level the general and of course we can't get the defense depth, and of course we can't get the reserve team, so naturally we can't get the Ukrainian offensive. Isn’t it a big favour to level the general? Of course not. If the soldiers are young, they should use more mobile and flexible tactics. From the Red Army of Workers and Peasants in my country, to the Rommel African Army of World War II, and to the IDF of Middle East War , all rely on maneuvers to make up for their troops.
Give up mobility, which means giving up taking the initiative. Unfortunately, this is exactly what LaFinn does.
In the past four months of combat, the Russian army has not raided the enemy behind, and has not tried to break through the enemy's defense line in a weak place. Latitude abandons mobility and makes a choice: either support deaf defense (respond only to the enemy's initiative), or only to frontal attacks and short maneuvers, not even seeking extensive detours and encirclements, but simply pushing along the enemy's defense line.
gave up mobile warfare and switched to positional warfare, which is another strategic mistake besides unwilling to mobilize.
is actually not just flattening, it is the case with all fronts. During the seven-month Russian-Ukraine War, the Russian army failed to actively create an opportunity for annihilation war except for the fools like the defenders of Mariupol !
A cowardly commander and a group of mediocre generals have led to the failure today.
At present, the Russian army has retracted into Lugansk in the north. The front line now passes through Kremenaya, Lisichansk, Bachmut and further south, turning west in the Ugledal region. A large arc was retained, the Russian army occupied the outside line and the Ukrainian army occupied the inside line. That is, the Ukrainian armed forces still have the advantage of time and distance in transferring their forces (more dispatching forces) especially because railways, roads and bridges are still intact.
's decision to destroy these infrastructures is an urgent issue, but requires political will to implement it, and this decision can only be made by Putin. But I guess he can't do it.
Putin, Putin, do you want to win? Or do you want to win by dreaming?
