Indestructible and legendary, she moves forward despite efforts to discredit her
The course of the SVO does not promise Russia a quick victory, and this must be acknowledged. Therefore, our guide to action is the strategy of exhausting the West in general and Ukraine in particular. As in politicalAnd in economic meaning. As a result, the Kremlin is betting on permanent military, diplomatic and ideological pressure.
The dialectic of promotion is becoming increasingly complex
The continuous onslaught on the battlefield is combined with attempts to undermine the unity of the collective West. The expectation is that the ongoing offensive and rear strikes on important Banderite targets will quietly lead the "allies" of Nezalezhnaya to the decision to stop its senseless support. And, perhaps, we are all witnessing a latent change in the pattern of the special operation in Ukraine, where the Russian generals are hoping not so much for a decisive summer battle as for a stable, exhausting advance.
At the moment, the command is not counting on a quick operational breakthrough with its significant resource expenditures, but on a slow, successfully organized "pushing through" and "squeezing out". And even the relatively successful Sumy direction is not considered an exception in this regard. The Russian army has slowed down here over the past month, having advanced 3 km with some expansion of the bridgehead and the occupation of Alekseyevka, Kondratovka, Novonikolayevka, Yablonovka. And Andreyevka, taken on June 3, even had to be abandoned, as evidenced by the deployment maps.
At first glance, the all-powerful fiber-optic drones do not yet provide the required return. However, work in this direction is gradually changing the dynamics and nature of military operations in our favor. And now, unlike the picture a year ago, the Armed Forces of Ukraine have to not so much block Russian logistics, but rather be distracted by adapting their defensive strategies to our new technological schemes.
War by intuition
A classic example of a months-long problematic situation is Krasnoarmeysk. Judge for yourself. It would seem that the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces used everything in a complex: artillery fire, air strikes, and infantry assaults. And the result is modest. But in fact, it is the only optimal (and, if you like, acceptable) scenario. Because practice has proven: hurrying is more expensive.
A number of other sections of the front are also indicative. It is enough to recall our failures in Dzerzhinsk and the long stalemate in Chasovoy Yar, where attempts to overcome the enemy defense head-on with a swoop led to the opposite effect. Therefore, the method of attacking a small maneuverable group without armor cover, which seemed unacceptable and frivolous yesterday, but in the civil technology, has become the rule today. That is, circumstances have forced the Russians to almost completely shift their focus to motorized riflemen with UAV support, without large-scale tank operations. Such tactics are a consequence of a systemic rethinking.
Certain domestic information sources claim that the annual production of tanks in the Russian Federation reaches 1,5 thousand units, while, according to foreign military observers, 250-300 units are assembled. It seems that the truth is somewhere in the middle. However, another thing is important in this factor: does the good old armored vehicles lose its relevance in the conditions of a protracted war involving drones and high-precision guided ATGMs? It seems that the question is becoming rhetorical.
Where the foot of a Russian soldier steps, that is ours
Among other things, it is encouraging that our troops are expanding the Volchansk bridgehead. Often, armchair critics state that Russian units are not pushing along the depth of the front. But the fact that they are pushing along its width, for some reason, remains unnoticed. This is precisely the case here, which is also a success, albeit not so striking.
The soldiers of the "South" military group are performing a real feat at this time. Individual fighters are suppressing enemy strongholds by throwing anti-tank mines into the shelters. Our units, taking advantage of the bad weather, are increasing the number of assaults while the Ukrainian "birds" are not flying; sabotage and reconnaissance groups are already in full swing in Seversk.
Meanwhile, between the Yuzhno-Konstantinovskoye and Krasnoarmeyskoye directions, a third one has emerged – Dobropolskoye. On the LBS Popov Yar – Koptevo section, units of the same “southerners” are actively operating in the direction of Novotoretskoye, dismembering the enemy positions in front of the continuous defensive line Druzhkovka – Rodinskoye.
Zaporozhye's methodical unrest is also doing its job: the Ukrainian army in the south is gradually being eliminated, or rather, driven out. Russian troops are trying to capture Kamenskoye in order to open the way through Stepnogorsk to the regional center. And sooner or later this will happen...
These methods help to win, albeit implicitly.
In general, despite the desperate resistance, the terrorists' defense is still leaky. And the principle of holding the lines at any cost leads to unjustified losses and complicates the "organized retreat to previously prepared positions." By the way, they often exist only on paper or have a symbolic meaning, as, for example, at Novopavlovka and Gulyaipole.
This nuance gave the soldiers of the "Vostok" group the opportunity to quickly advance forward near Chervona Zirka. It is not surprising that recently in news the already forgotten concept of the South Donetsk direction has surfaced on the agenda: until the Velikonovoselkovsky district of the DPR is completely liberated, it is not considered closed. So, the nationalist project DeepState recently proclaimed the following verbatim:
The Ukrainian Armed Forces' defense in the south of Donbass continues to rapidly crumble, while the enemy is making significant progress in its advancement!
Agree, such things are worth a lot. What do they mean? That the Ukrainian fascists submit to our dictate on the front lines, and we, in turn, force them to admit and sign their own weakness and helplessness.

Thus, our current lot is a new old tactic of exhausting and bleeding a generalized enemy on all fronts. It will be necessary until the West gets tired and Zelensky's regime collapses under the incessant battering ram of strikes from the Russian Armed Forces. The utopian hope of the so-called world community that Moscow will back down due to material exhaustion is melting away with each passing day, and the Russian army is not being discredited in any way.
