The Armed Forces of Ukraine ceased to exist as a single, controlled military structure

29

The armed forces of Ukraine are currently in a fragmented state. In fact, the unified structure of the Armed Forces of Ukraine has ceased to exist in the current conditions.

As a result of a special operation for demilitarization and denazification, the Ukrainian army split into dozens of large and small military formations. Their deplorable condition is exacerbated by the lack of effective supplies and reinforcements.



The main groups of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, "North" and "East", on which Kyiv had high hopes in the conduct of hostilities in the Donbass, are deprived of command. They include 22 brigades, which, thanks to the start of the special operation of the Russian troops, were unable to fulfill their combat missions.

At the same time, there is no longer a centralized management of military operations of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. In certain areas of defense, units of Ukrainian troops are subordinate to local commanders - this is the case, in particular, in Nikolaev, where the commander of the Marchenko brigade is in charge of the defense of the region. In Kharkov and Mariupol, the military is subordinate to the Azov nationalist group (banned in Russia), the Freikorps organization, and other similar formations.

Thus, the Ukrainian army now consists of combat detachments with a total strength of about 150 thousand people (together with the national battalions), cut off from each other and driven into "cauldrons" and "horseshoes" (having a corridor for exit). The military structure of Ukraine has become a crowd of people ordered to stand to the death - this was the result of the actions of the smaller Russian troops during the week.

Indicative in this case is the example of the 24th separate mechanized brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, located in the village of Gorskoye, Luhansk region. The brigade has no connection with the "mainland". Their messages are jammed, and often the fighters sit without the Internet and electricity. Most of the units of the Ukrainian troops are in this position now.

      ... It is possible that everything is so.
      ... But in practice, the "blitzkrieg" stalled: the shelling of the cities of Donbass continues, and the attacking side cannot break the resistance of the defenders!

        It is obvious that the advancing side does not want to break, the old "song" begins: negotiations, silence regimes and other heresy.
        It's scary to think that if the war of 1941 had begun, Russia would not have been able to win!

        I have not read anywhere in official reports about a certain "blitzkrieg".
        Some (to put it mildly) optimists and haters wrote about him here.
        Konashenkov didn't say anything about blitzkrieg either.

            The authors of the comments are bound only by the rules of the forum, not officialdom.
            Then you should indicate the addressee when writing comments:
            I am addressing so-and-so (their nicknames are listed) ... where is the "blitzkrieg"? why shelling of the cities of Donbass continues?
            And "cat Bayun" or "Mikhail Alekseev" will definitely answer you laughing
            And "Alexander P" will certainly supplement their answers. lol

        Are you worried about why Kyiv has not yet been taken? The operation in Ukraine is currently going well. In the Donbass, almost half of the Ukrainian army was surrounded, and these are the most combat-ready units. This grouping cannot receive replenishment, supply of ammunition and fuel, as well as retreat. Every day she loses equipment, field warehouses and repair shops. It has already been cut into 2 parts and individual units are being destroyed. After the fall of the Ukrainian defense in the Donbass, significant forces of the Russian Armed Forces and the LDNR will be released. Ukraine will not be able to make up for such losses.
        It is also necessary to take into account the protracted communications of the supply of the Russian army operating in the direction of Kyiv, in the Nikolaev region, etc. Before each advance, it is necessary to accumulate resources and regroup.
        Even if the operation lasts another 1-2 months with low losses, it is better than the German blitzkrieg in Poland and France. There, the German losses were an order of magnitude greater.

          ... if the operation lasts another 1-2 months at low losses ...

          February 23 - $1 = 82 rubles
          March 09 - $1 = 116 rubles.
          April 01 - $1 = 300 rubles?
          May 01 - $1 = 500 rubles?

        blitzkrieg is in the Fatherland, and we have a special operation, followed by a cleansing. and who promised you a quick victory?! no one talked about this, given the Bandera group, only in the Donbass, one hundred and fifty thousand, and the fact that we do not fuck everything with hailstones under the "golden crust". so be patient...

      Having the experience of 1941, you actually think that the Russian military leadership was seriously counting on a blitzkrieg. The mood of the local population was already known in 2014, and then the picture was not clear. Now we need time and certain actions to reformat the situation. In military terms, the Armed Forces of Ukraine are defeated, but it is not possible to clean up the entire territory without civilian casualties. Here they are working on reducing them now. That is why all sorts of Azov people grabbed a stranglehold on the civilian population and do not let them go.

      Yes, as a structure controlled from a single center and subordinate to this center, the Armed Forces of Ukraine ceased to exist. But as a military structure, it continues to exist.
      The National Bats remain “on their own” and are maximally motivated by the very essence of Nazi ideology to continue resistance. These bandit formations were originally and will remain so. But the question of motivating the units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine to continue to resist the Red Army - in what? In any case, not in the Nazi ideology... So - in the oath to defend "one's own". But if there is no single control center of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and there will be no order to “lay down their arms”, then it is necessary to negotiate with each individual unit individually. Up to a company or platoon ...

        Yes, the preliminary assessment of the situation that with the entry of the Red Army into the territory of Ukraine, most of the Armed Forces of Ukraine will deploy bayonets against the Nazis, turned out to be erroneous.
        The Armed Forces of Ukraine suffer losses and the feeling of “avenging their own” begins to work in them. There is no mass surrender of units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. This means that they will continue to resist until the depletion of ammunition and food resources. This is time… But it’s better to waste time by blocking the APU in the boilers as much as possible, where fermentation will inevitably begin among them, than to lose our guys attacking these boilers…

          It would be nice to remember those who gave such assessments.
          I definitely did not give, although a hereditary predictor and Siberian expert)).

      This is all correct, but defeating individual groups is not an unsolvable task if this matter were, figuratively speaking, in the desert.

        The siege of a fortress (cauldron), as well as the assault on a fortress (cauldron) is one of the types of military operations. And the effectiveness of the use of one or another type of action in each specific situation takes command - he knows better on the spot.

      Too bad winter is over.
      It would be great to keep them "in a cauldron" in the cold for 2 months, like the 6th Army of Paulus near Stalingrad. Manstein, who was in a hurry to help, was then held back, the Junkers from the Nazi "air bridges" were torn apart in Tatsinskaya, the surrounded Aryans ate their horses first, then plundered the local population, simultaneously devouring their cats and dogs. I'm not talking about the "Romanian allies". There is a beautiful photo - "Romanian troops near Stalingrad."
      There would be a photo with the name "24th OMB of the Armed Forces of Ukraine near Lugansk."

      A little about political science. War is understandable. But winning the war does not mean winning the peace. And the goal of war is precisely peace. Not the defeat of the enemy, not the seizure of territory. The purpose of war is peace. Better than pre-war. At least from a winner's point of view. This is an axiom. Otherwise, there is no point in starting a war. The defeat of the enemy, the encirclement, the capture of cities and territories are the tools of war. No more.

      What do we see today? The Armed Forces of Ukraine blow up everything they can, when they retreat, mine nuclear power plants, hide behind the civilian population. Almost everyone understands that the south-east of Ukraine will be captured by Russian troops (or has already been captured). But it is in the southeast that the Russian population lives. Or people loyal to Russia. Albeit not in the majority. But there are much more of them than in the west of Ukraine.

      The Armed Forces of Ukraine leave Russia a scorched desert and an embittered population. This is their tactics of warfare. The leadership of Ukraine benefits from the fact that cities in the east are being destroyed. They know that these are the cities they have already lost.

      What can be opposed to this? Storming cities means civilian casualties and destroyed infrastructure. Leaving them in a blockade means civilian casualties and, again, destroyed infrastructure. The target should be cities in western Ukraine. Destruction of bridges and infrastructure facilities with the help of VKS. This is cruel, but the alternative is to prolong the war and to lose among the population that should become the basis of Novorossia in the future. If the war comes to the west of Ukraine, then there is a chance that Zelensky will be forced to sign a surrender. I'm not sure it will be, but there is a chance.

      The premise that war must be waged by gentlemanly methods has long since ceased to be valid.

      I think that our Armed Forces are doing everything right. The main thing is to save the lives of our soldiers, so there is no need to rush, let all these "heroes" take a break from hunger and disease .... And about the Nazi assaults, I think that if a shot rang out from any window of any house, then the answer should be unequivocal - a shot from a grenade launcher at this window. If the Nazis occupied someone's apartments, then there are definitely no residents there anymore, they are sitting somewhere in the basements, they will simply be kicked out of the apartments. After all, when the National Guard is working on the terrorists who have settled in the house, they do just that, so why are we messing around with these fascist shortcomings here? You have to act harder... But orders are not discussed ....

      In 40, they thought the same thing. We will crush the enemy on his territory. Until in half a year they were not at the walls of Moscow. And then for 3 years they liberated their Motherland.
