      @Luka__1 Před měsícem +30

      Well, given that Russia's initial war goals were to completely replace the government of Ukraine, and the fact that pretty much everyone thought that Russia would easily win the war, but are still struggling since 2022, the fact that Ukraine is still standing, and has even recaptured some territory would definitely lead many to believe that Russia is not winning the war. Ukraine is not winning either, but it's not losing, so as of now it's a stalemate.

      ​@@Luka__1yes that's right. At the same time we can say that this a war between Russia and Nato, which is going positively for Russia, as the triumph of Russia could very well mean the fall of Nato. If that case it would not be a pirric victory of Russia, but a massive sand decisive triumph instead.

    @Stacie45 Před měsícem +54

    It has seemed intuitive to me that the SMO itself only makes sense if Russia was truly determined to build a Cordon Sanitaire on its border with Ukraine. How is this possible if the portion from Karkiv north and west to the border with Belarus is not secured? For example, the alleged attackers of the Crocus Hall in Moscow attempted to flee west to Ukraine across this part of the border. Thus a major offensive in the north must be commenced at some point. Considering the West is planning to pour more weapons into the fight soon, it seems logical that this part of the operation should happen as soon as possible.

      You are seeing the collapse of their military right now. The 67th mechanized brigade refused to carry out their orders at Chasiv Yar and was disbanded and 47th did something similar at Ocheretyne leading to the collapse of the defense there. There just hasn't been a major front collapsing breakthrough yet. A major offensive would be hoping to give it one last shove over the edge and that's what we may be seeing now if these reports are correct.

He's not General Armageddon for nothing -- he's always about using whatever munitions one has to blow up everything in front of you, and only then cautiously advancing. Really what Russia has been doing on offense for 2 years, after the initial days, has been following Surovikin's approach.

    Amongst all 4 previous operations to take Kharkiv, only those have been successful where the forces have gone to take Kharkiv from the North. Whether it was the German operation in 2nd WW or rhe Soviet counter offensive I'm the same. For Russia, Belgorod is the door to Kharkiv.

  • @Luka__1
    @Luka__1 Před měsícem +9

    Some people are saying that taking Kharkiv would be pointless for Russia, because it would "spread their front lines," I beg to differ. Opening a new front is a great idea for Russia. The Donbass has a ton of fortifications, and there is no real way to break the stalemate there right now, however there is a tactic that general MacArthur used in the Korean war. When the south Korean forces were at a stalemate in Pusan, the Americans decided to navally invade behind the North Korean lines, which sent the North Korean army into chaos, forcing them to retreat to avoid encirclement. It was a complete military catastrophe for North Korea. If Russia pulls off such a move by opening a new front, it would allow them to conquer the Donbass, if not more than that.

    I remember once on youtube, there was a video of Russians on a talk show discussing the attacks on Belgorod and the Ukrainian shelling of Crimea with missiles from the West. The presenter asked a guest what the solution was? He answered after about 10 seconds: If they are shelling Belgorod and constantly attacking with no real chance after losing some symbolic battle and trying to distract from it, then we simply have to move the line further west. If their missiles are in range of Crimea and other Russian towns, then we just have to move further left.

    Kharkiv is 10 times larger than Mosul -- just the main city, not even counting the whole metro area. The latter is 9 times larger than Gaza. Now think about how long it took to take Mosul (9 months), despite the attacking force having total air superiority, a 10 to 1 manpower advantage, and better equipment. Or how long the Gaza operation is taking. I'm not saying Russia can't eventually take the city, but you'd be crazy to think it will be a quick operation -- there's zero chance of them taking the city in this calendar year at the very least.

    It's true that I'm very much an armchair general but in my opinion poltova should be their end goal, however it's better for them to take things slow and steady in terms of getting there.
    Both to make sure that there's few if any embarrassments from trying to rush things along in order to fulfil a strict timetable and also because the element of surprise clearly doesn't matter so much anymore in a war of this nature, although yes it still plays a role on the tactical level it just doesn't make sense to rush things strategically speaking because the enemy is going to have a fairly accurate idea of what you're probably planning and up to any which way you intend on going about a major offensive operation like this, unlike in previous timeperiods where the fog of war was thicker because more limited and crude surveillance methods.
    So ideally they'd do something like focusing the majority of their efforts on the Kharkov oblast and what remains of Ukrainian occupied Donbass this year and then either in the upcoming winter time or next spring once they've achieved most or all of the objectives they've set out to they can move onto capturing Sumy city and the southern half of that oblast before rolling onto Poltova from both Sumy and Kharkov presumably next year some time (I assume the Donbass will either be entirely under Russian control or just barely hanging into a thread by then so that will be a secondary direction in which the main objective is merely keeping the bulk of the Ukrainian army fixed in place and their supply is threatened up north at Poltova).
    Another reason for going about things in this more measured manner is to try and not to provoke the increasingly desperate neo-con hardliners in the West into making any rash decisions that would bare disastrous consequences for everyone involved, not to mention that if Russia reaches the Dneiper too quickly and the bulk of the Ukrainian army is able to be salvaged somehow and retreat behind the river it will be increasingly difficult from that point on to attrit their army at the same pace as they could if it were still fighting in a futile effort to the east beyond that river.
    Obviously who wins the next U.S. presidential election matters as well as to how this thing plays out over the next 1-2 years or so, but it would be illogical to gamble by betting on any one candidate winning and planning accordingly under that assumption so that shouldn't have any significant impact on Russia's strategic planning and I don't think it will.

    Turtle tank is very interesting and appears to allow the tank to regain some of its purpose. So it is now close to impervious to drones but what about traditional anti-tank weapons such as RPGs and ATGMs? I assume they would be very vulnerable against standard tanks if their own drones, etc don't keep enemy tanks away.

    not convinced about this so-called offensive.
    i suspect it's aimed at diverting as many Ukrainian troops into the Kharkhov region as possible so that some real progress can be made in the Donetsk area.
    don't be surprised to hear Russia makes little progress in the Kharkhov direction. it's Donetsk they want.

    The Kharkiv offensive starts once again ... like it already has a hundred times before on Weeb Union. So what does Weeb Union mean concretely by offensive? - "small battles in some villages" in Kharkiv, while the real offensive is expected in the end of May ... how the he** does this add up to the title "Russian Kharkiv offensive has started"? It doesnt. The gap between reality and wording is simply to big to be a demonstration of strength - its rather despair

      The offensives in Avdiivka, Bakhmut, Orechetyne, etc. are all a series of small skirmishes and positional fighting. Satellites and Drones pretty much reduced all battles to be small by default.
      Of course, whether this skirmishes in this new front is indeed an attempt of the Russians to grind their way to Kharkiv or just the Russians stretching the Ukrainian armed forces to worsen the Ukrainian's manpower problems will be seen in the next few weeks.
