Det är nästan som man tror sig förflyttad till förra sommaren då samma spinn från Enceladus-kollektivet omgärdade Ukrainas misslyckade offensiv.
Detta
påminner mer om Charkiv-offensiven, d.v.s. ett blixtkrig snarare än ett skyttegravskrig:
Konrad Muzyka skrev:The first obvious difference between the current operation and previous attacks on Russian territory (May 2023, March 2023) is that the ongoing operation is organised and commanded by the Ukrainian General Staff and involves conventional forces. Previous HUR-organised (HUR: Military Intelligence) raids were just that. They involved mostly lightly equipped units centered around RDK and PDK (Russian and Polish Volunteer Corps). The purpose of these attacks was to infiltrate the border, capture POWs, obtain intelligence, and inflict a PR blow on the Russian political-military leadership. But forces involved could not make these attacks move beyond short-lived raids.
The current operation involved tank and mechanized subunits, supported by artillery, air defense, and EW capabilities. The most obvious consequence of this change was a much higher tempo of advance. On Thursday, Russian sources reported the presence of Ukrainian troops in Anastasevka, some 27 kilometers from the border. We have not been able to confirm this development. Secondly, although Russian forces did have fortifications near the border, a relatively large-scale troop deployment coupled with thinly manned strongpoints resulted in these fortifications being quickly overrun.
Looking at the current operation, we see striking similarities to the 2022 Ukrainian Kharkiv Offensive in which General Syrsky was also heavily involved. A surprise attack on poorly manned Russian lines, a very high tempo of advance in a combined arms operation. In Kharkiv, Ukrainians used vanguard units in a fast maneuver to sow confusion about the scale of their presence and the tempo of the advance, further compounding the collapse of Russian presence in Ukraine. A strong PSYOPS (disinformation) effort was also applied across Russian Telegram channels. The current operation could thus be called Kharkiv 2.0 regarding surprise attained, capabilities used (HIMARS excluded), and tempo achieved.

Ukrainian troops successfully maneuvered around Russian positions and reportedly reached the towns of Bolshoye, Soldatskoye and Ivnitsa.

P.S: Compared to the offensives in Ukraine, it is unusual to see that equipment can move so freely deep into enemy territory along roads and fields without fear of mines. Something that hasn't been seen for a very long time
Ukraina
tänker däremot inte göra ryssarna samma gentjänst:
