Distracting strike: Russian troops undertook reconnaissance in force in the Zaporozhye region

10

Units of the Russian army this morning attacked the positions of Ukrainian troops near the city of Orekhov, Zaporozhye region. It is reported about the capture of the first line of strongholds of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in this direction.


Russian troops conducted reconnaissance in force. And they did it from two directions at once - southwest and southeast of the city. Such tactics brought local success and forced the enemy to transfer reserves here. They were met by Russian artillery.

Now fighting continues in the Orekhovo area. According to experts, it is possible that the Russian attack in the city area is just a battle of local significance. However, the variant is not ruled out, according to which the offensive actions of the Russian army are a distraction strike, which aims to pin down the enemy forces.

Distracting strike: Russian troops undertook reconnaissance in force in the Zaporozhye region

Experts note that such tactics are usually used before the main blow, which is being prepared in another direction.

It should be noted that until recently, Ukrainian troops planned to attack in the Zaporozhye region. However heavy losses in the battle for Artemovsk, they forced the Armed Forces of Ukraine to go on the defensive. Intelligence noted the construction of defensive structures by the Ukrainian military in the Zaporozhye region.

At the same time, American military analysts have repeatedly stated that the Russian army will launch a large-scale offensive in the coming days.

    Wagner in Artemovsk collects APU, destroying equipment and manpower, creating a constant influx of APU forces
    the army is trying with small attacks to calculate the logistics of the armed forces in the event of an offensive by the armed forces of the Russian Federation
    keeping huge forces in the rear for a long time is not logical for the Russian Federation
    after a series of small attacks, it is quite possible that a more serious blow will follow where the APU will move, and there is already a breakthrough by the main forces of the Russian Armed Forces in the direction we need
    there are points where the support force is concentrated, breaking which the structure loses its stability, this is not necessarily a fortified point

    Meaning? Attack head-on again! Well, let's turn the whole army into criminals. They don't ask questions, they don't think. Why not bypass these cities and not son-in-law in the "cauldron"? After all, according to the map, it suggests itself. Are we completely blind in the General Staff?

      there is such a military commander, Andrey Filatov, a quite literate kid, as he explained in an interview to Strelkov’s remark why you have to take the enemy head-on, because it often happens that on the ground it’s impossible for a number of reasons to take the line of defense otherwise, either they tried and got either stupidly because the relief did not allow

      or Voenkor Andrey Filatov. Dangerous interview about the MAIN MISTAKE OF OUR military (2023)

        because it often happens that it is impossible on the ground for a number of reasons

        This military correspondent, history must be taught how to attack the enemy in the forehead, and he apparently skipped lessons. For example, the storming of Berlin in 1945. This is studied in all academies, but it is only visible not in ours.

        By the end of April 25, 1945, the German garrison occupied an area of ​​about 325 sq. km. The total area of ​​the front of the Soviet troops in Berlin was about 100 kilometers. More than 450 thousand Soviet soldiers, more than 12,5 thousand guns and mortars, over 2 thousand rocket launchers, up to 1,5 thousand tanks and self-propelled guns took part in the storming of the capital

        https://topwar.ru/170812-kak-shturmovali-berlin.html
        The point is that in order to break through the forehead of the defense, it is necessary to concentrate artillery and aviation along the entire length of the front. To suppress enemy firing points not with "meat", but with artillery. The infantry only then cleans up. Where have we used such methods in the NWO. Maximum four self-propelled guns or Grad. Shoot back and run farther. That's half a year and storm the village. Or do you want to say that the Armed Forces of Ukraine built defenses better than the Nazis over 100 km.?
        Only now, not a single general, and even more so a military commander, is afraid to openly discuss with Strelkov.

          did you read the interview or did you replace it with half a liter?
          people answered that the shooters are right and when it is possible people go around from the flanks and when there is no possibility they go head-on
          why did you, sitting at home, decide that people (most) in the trenches do not understand how to fight and go to the slaughter like zombies, that the Wagner and their commanders do not understand this, since sometimes they go head-on
          rarely reading your thoughts, horses, the impression that you are always either drunk or in a deaf hangover
          then you have mediocre rulers, as if you lived under some other rulers whom you can recommend and who will be accepted by the people and you have your own army, which, following your strategies, defeated everything and everyone ..
          but in fact, an ordinary grumbling, drunken old man, dissatisfied with his existence, splashing out his nonsense into the people, not hearing anyone but himself

            did you read the interview or did you replace it with half a liter?

            In this case, I took your word for it. And you, it turns out, are a master of lies and you don’t need a hangover. And the fact that you could not retell the meaning of what was said just speaks of your rude education.
            The fact of the matter is that in the trenches they understand everything. Military correspondents in the field have long been indignant and even say the right thing themselves, but are forced to follow orders. This is the army.

            that Wagner and their commanders do not understand this

            Watch the movie The Best in Hell. These commanders removed compromising evidence on themselves. There are no complaints about the soldiers at all - they are heroes. But the commanders .. Having tanks and attack aircraft, send soldiers in the forehead to take buildings in the industrial zone? That is why we have been fighting for 11 months, because such commanders command us.

            as if you lived under some other rulers

            Learn everything in comparison, compare yourself with others. The fact of the matter is that I remember a lot and I have someone and something to compare with. And how has our life improved over the past 30 years? Here officials, deputies, thieves can boast of a better life, but not the people and not pensioners for sure. What group do you belong to? And I forgot, there is still a special caste that does not identify itself with Russia - Muscovites.

    "Reconnaissance in force" is a bad term. It means the fiasco of all other types of intelligence. And here is some local butting in the style of the First World War.

    the Armed Forces of Ukraine will have a very serious offensive, it doesn’t matter how many territories the Russian troops liberate, because they will not be able to seriously strengthen them. Therefore, it is more important for them to keep the fortified areas, apparently, and not Zaporozhye

    For starters, you should familiarize yourself with what reconnaissance in force is before writing nonsense! The combat charter will help you
