Yuriy Podolyaka is not sure that the Russian army will be able to hold Kherson

October 21 2022 65

Ukrainian armed forces are rushing to Kherson, trying to capture the city. Communications are the main vulnerable point in the defense of allied forces, and the enemy can take advantage of this. So says, in particular, journalist and blogger Yuri Podolyaka.

If the Armed Forces of Ukraine manage to destroy the Kakhovskaya dam, vast territories will be flooded, and the right bank will be cut off from the left for a long time. At the same time, Russian units will not be able to fire from the left bank due to the flooding of the floodplain.

And in this case, taking into account the funds collected by the enemy, we definitely won’t hold the city

- Podolyaka noted in his telegram channel.

If such a scenario comes true, then the RF Armed Forces will be forced to leave the combat machinery and to save people. A similar situation arose when leaving Izyum, but this time it will be more difficult to hold positions.

The key issue here is the dam of the Kakhovka reservoir. And not even its destruction itself, but its constantly hanging threat. How serious it is, I do not know ... And hence I have no confidence that we will keep Kherson. I tell it like it is, no bluff

– emphasized the blogger.

At the same time, Russian troops have a chance to defeat the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the battlefield, since the Ukrainian side will have to attack head-on.

Earlier, Ukrainian militants attacked a civilian crossing near the Antonovsky bridge in Kherson with HIMARS missiles. Sources report the death of four people and a dozen injured, including children.

And why is this "expert" talking about it only now, when it is obvious to everyone around? What did he say in the summer, remind me? Oh, this faith of the Russian people in experts and false soothsayers - as in the late 80s they stared at Kashpirovsky and Chumak, now we listen to "experts" (every three months - a new "expert" pops up on TV)

  It is worth looking at Yuri's "analytics" at the beginning of the year (January), where he predicted that Russia would be able to start some kind of active actions against ex-Ukraine only by 2023.
  But there was an embarrassment with the forecast - february came and all the "analytics" had to be urgently adjusted to the current moment ...

    Kherson is not just Kherson - it is fresh water for 2 million inhabitants of Crimea ... There should be only one solution: drive the Ukronazis away from Kherson further north along the right bank of the Dnieper from the existing front line for another 100 kilometers and to the west, then per 100 km. To exclude the possibility of shelling crossings and bridges across the Dnieper. And strain all the possibilities to realize it, and not engage in verbiage.

  If you undermine the railway in the west of Ukraine and bridges, i.e. reduce the supply of the Armed Forces of Ukraine by the West, then the war would end in 2-3 weeks. But for some reason this is not done.

        Judging by the downvote for my post (which is higher than yours), where I asked the same question in a slightly different form, tkot973 has a very vague idea of what a weapon is and what it is made of. And his pearl about the uselessness of underwear made of NATURAL cotton was especially amused. Most likely, it was an ordinary cisco who was unsuccessfully erupting, thoughtlessly chewing a training manual.

  Because the full-time employees of the Ministry of Defense do not take on this work at all.
  There is not enough clear, thoughtful, informational activity on the part of the Ministry of Defense.
  This was especially observed at the beginning of the company.
  That is, a certain information vacuum is formed, and where will the citizens of the Russian Federation go for information?
  Not on Ukrainian resources?
  Podolyaka Yuri and others, this is our information militia, civilians who have taken over the work of the Moscow Region.
  Just as the militia was gathered by Minin and Pozharsky, a merchant from Nizhny Novgorod and a townsman, who were not at all regular military men.
  And we listen to him with some hope, he is invited to TV on a regular basis. Mind you, not some retired military from headquarters. And we are listening. Because prof. experts were not quite competent in reality. Or just take water in your mouth.
  Yuri also gave out very accurate analytics. Definitely a talent. It's a pity that the YouTube channel was blocked, the videos for the past years would prove this well.

The time has come for the use of tactical nuclear weapons: a few shells with low-yield nuclear charges against the concentration of Ukrainian troops could well cancel all offensives, as such. In any case, taking into account the upcoming large-scale hostilities between NATO and Russia and the tenfold superiority of the Alliance, without the use of Russia's nuclear weapons, already a week after the start of hostilities, there is a high risk of losing all air defense and a direct threat to the launch positions of strategic nuclear weapons, therefore, one way or another, the use of nuclear weapons is our only chance to balance the forces, the only question is when to do it? Or wait until the Ukrainians take all the liberated territories and NATO armadas destroy our starting positions, finishing off the scattered units of our armed forces in the Moscow region, or is it now, while we have not completely lost the initiative, the army and the hope of victory? In my opinion, it’s better now, it’s better to cool off the ardor with the help of tactical nuclear weapons now, until Kherson is taken, than in a couple of months, when, having screwed everything up, having a train of incompetent managers and top-level strategists behind him, convulsively brush aside the pressing enemy, trying to be in time at least something to launch from the remaining combat assets. The stupidity of the state scale is manifested precisely in the duality and catastrophic delay of the right decisions, which was shown by seven months of the NWO.

Yes, during the reign of Medvedev, his minister Serdyukov sold out most of the schools, for four years there were practically no sets at all. The only Tambov communications school in Russia was closed and has not yet been restored. I didn’t work much.
