7 September 2022 13

Ukrainian troops have initiated a new offensive in the Kharkiv region, which could threaten unpleasant consequences for the allied forces. This point of view was expressed by military correspondent and expert Alexander Kots.

According to the analyst, the Armed Forces of Ukraine are not currently facing the task of occupying Balakleya by any means. At the moment they are trying to take control of the highway connecting Balakleya with Volokhov Yar. From the latter there is a direct road to Izyum and Shevchenkovo, through which a direct route to Kupyansk passes.

In addition, if the Ukrainian army moves south from Volokhov Yar, the road from Kupyansk to Izyum is under attack. If the Armed Forces of Ukraine go through Mikhailovskoye to Kupyansk, the Izyum grouping of the RF Armed Forces will be cut off from the main forces. In this case, the Russian units will have to leave in an easterly direction through Oskol.

However, the military commander is sure that if the Armed Forces of Ukraine fail to build on the success of the last XNUMX hours, such a development of events will be avoided.

I don’t know what to say now to those Warriors of the Ministry of Defense, the National Guard, PMCs and reservists from the LDNR who are heroically defending themselves in this sector. Any words spoken from a distance will not seem very sincere. Hold on guys...

If you are lack of initiative and not ready to attack, then sooner or later, the enemy will show the initiative.

    Don't sweat it. For the Moscow Region, the opinions of the petty are not interesting, even if offered, the most sensible proposals. They don't read it. They are in an undercover fight, it is more important who has "wider stripes", and not a real solution to problems.

- In general - to discuss the "offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Kharkiv region" - without discussing the "offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Kherson direction" - somehow does not fit !!!
- These are "two communicating vessels"! - We will not discuss Donbass yet!
- I do not want to say seditious things - but:
The strategic initiative by our RF Armed Forces is lost, and lost in many areas:
- our aircraft - just went on the defensive! - And what else could be expected - with such an "insignificant number" of our troops involved !!!
- Practically now our Armed Forces of the Russian Federation are fighting only with artillery; and she needs a lot of shells - and how to ensure their delivery if the supply routes are destroyed (bridges are destroyed) - and this applies to almost both directions (Kherson direction - to a greater extent!)! - I already wrote about this in several of my comments - now everything is happening like that !!! - Where is our aviation ??? - In the Kherson direction, our airborne forces are delivering pinpoint strikes - instead of carpet bombing!
- Why this is happening is incomprehensible - especially since the Armed Forces of Ukraine have already come out "from under the umbrella of their air defense" - and you can more or less - boldly bomb them! - And near Kharkov - something quite occasionally our VKS manifest themselves!
- It is reported that near Kherson, the Armed Forces of Ukraine pushed through the defense of hastily mobilized fighters from the DPR; approximately the same is reported about the hastily mobilized militias retreating near Balakliya (Kharkov, for example)!
- In general - to know that the Armed Forces of Ukraine are accumulating huge resources for the offensive and wait without pulling up reserves for counterattacks; nor for blows to the flanks; nor for organizing coverage and encirclement of the APU that have broken through - that's somehow everything !!!
- After all, even now there is such a paradoxical fact - this is that the Armed Forces of Ukraine can now simply fire their artillery and MLRS on the Kherson bridgehead, even without any offensive - and inflict damage on our Armed Forces and shell Kherson - already from this side!
- Well, now there is hope that the offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine has run out of steam and after 08.09.2022/XNUMX/XNUMX it will completely weaken! - But now it is necessary to knock out the Armed Forces of Ukraine from the territory that they nevertheless occupied !!!

  Where is our aviation???
  
  This is how your aviation works (Message from the TV channel "Military Informant"):
  
  This is how the arrival of unguided missiles at Ukrainian positions, launched by a Russian plane or helicopter from a cabriolet, looks like.
  
  The whole volley fell on landing far from the trenches of the Armed Forces of Ukraine , however, the Ukrainian calculation with the FIM-92 Stinger MANPADS could not catch the Russian aircraft during the attack.
  
  @milinfolive
  
  Our / your infantry will go to this one - "plowed up by artillery and aviation" fortified, and will receive lyuli, with losses.

no matter how strange it may sound, but for the post-war pacification between Ukraine and Russia, the purely military defeat of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is not very suitable for us, to smithereens. That is why the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation at the beginning of the company did not rely on the defeat of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, immediately on the move, the flow of the 200s. A high level of fire impact on the enemy was established by the RF Armed Forces after the Armed Forces of Ukraine inflicted serious losses on the RF Armed Forces (mainly supply columns and army columns), shot from ambushes, finished off the wounded, etc.

From here, the combat morale of the Russian troops is partially born, which, perhaps at the beginning, did not quite understand why they were going against the seemingly fraternal people. The forces of the LDNR, they didn’t need such motivation, they knew who they were dealing with.

But now the problem of post-war appeasement remains in force. And here there is a difference for the soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine - they were simply smeared across the steppes or they fought with dignity. If there is a feeling that both sides fought with dignity, and there were victories and defeats here and there, then the end of the conflict will be easier to formalize.

It is still not clear what is happening with Balakleya, but somehow it was not there, after a long series of "sensitive losses", mostly non-contact ones, the Armed Forces of Ukraine received their small victory (due to the net drain of two brigades). This can become a valve for the Armed Forces of Ukraine of that transcendent hatred and anger (from huge losses without the ability to respond), which will reduce the desire to fight to the end if the situation returns to the impossibility of defeating the RF Armed Forces. For the Russian side, the Ukrainian "breakthroughs" are also a shake-up, which will give the troops greater motivation.

The main thing is that this Ukrainian victory does not inspire the enemy for further exploits. The harsh reality, the hopeless strife, must come again. In the end, there should be an understanding that this conflict was imposed by the West, unleashed by the Kyiv regime, and in a purely military confrontation, both sides fought with dignity.

  This is who else to mean by the concept of "forces of the DPR" ...
  Motivated contract fighters, or the same contract soldiers, but who came for a relatively easy ruble during the "Minsk" period, or hastily mobilized "reservists" torn off from Mom's / Zhonka's tits, who were in bad shape in the rear, and the vast majority of which are in the army they never served, they never held a machine gun in their hands.
  And how many were really crippled, chronically ill, unable to serve at all?
  
  Total mobilization...
  Laughed from Hitler's "Volkssturm"?

It is unrealistic to successfully counter the entire NATO bloc in the Ukrainian theater of operations, using limited forces and means, slowing down tactics, with the loss of initiative and understanding of what is actually happening and what will happen. The confrontation with NATO is a fateful moment of truth for Russia, and this deadly confrontation cannot be taken to extremes - to the forced use of WMD, which means that all-Russian mobilization is needed, the collection of all forces and resources, the immediate transfer of the country to a military footing, the creation of new consolidated operational-tactical military formations, urgent purchase of military equipment and equipment in friendly countries in volumes that our military-industrial complex will not master even in ten years. We need new missile carriers for the surface fleet, for example, saving only on one replacement of curbs in Moscow could give about 100 billion rubles. Hundreds of strategic and tactical drones are urgently needed (can be purchased, including from Iran), it is necessary to convert hundreds of enterprises for the production of military products, all-Russian checks on the condition of shelters, reactivation of military equipment and equipment from warehouses, replenishment of state stocks of food and medicines. It is necessary to conduct all-Russian exercises on civil defense plans, as part of working out the interaction of all services and departments in a global conflict. Fresh cadres are needed - to replace the bureaucrats of all levels of the state apparatus who have come up and stupid in business. Stop playing "cashbacks", "spot development", "tours for the New Year", etc. already. From now on, the tour should be the same for all of us: training-peron-front", it can be a family one, it can be with a semi-suite trench on the first line ... We need to prepare the country for a deadly battle with NATO, the Alliance has very substantive and very rabid, very serious intentions You need to know this, feel it and stop the bravado and bragging at all levels of government. new world order, for the very existence of the Russian state.
