REFRAIN FROM INSULTING ANOTHER USER. This is your final warning.
I think its fair to say that the Russian defensive lines in that front have collapsed.
What's stopping Ukraine from further attacking is probably supply lines and to avoid getting overstretched. I would suggest getting back all those places left by Russians, consolidation and then further attacks.
They were delivering old hulls they had built years prior but couldn't between manufacturing defects, lack of industrial capacity and the coup.
aero-derived maritime gas turbine and vehicle-based gas turbines are two very different beats. If Ukraine could have reverse enginered the GDT100/1000, they would have done so years ago instead of coming up with the T-80UD.
Ah yes, a Proxy that most of it ISR were handle by NATO and operated with key NATO weapons
They would get bogged down before even meeting the Russians because of the terrain
What makes you think that those equipment were operational especially those BMPs that were stored in and the ones abandoned in the middle of the forrest?
Pretty sure at that time Ukraine send only 1 T-84 and even then they couldn't finish the deal completely and the deal was signed many years ago!
I think it is very early to celebrate Ukraine's victory.
It isn't a complete victory, but it will likely galvanize support for Ukraine in the coming winter months. More precision guided weaponry will no doubt find their way into the UkAF growing arsenal, adding to the woes Russian forces already face. It'd seem that Ukraine now demonstrated the capacity to interdict supplies before they arrive at the front lines. This has allowed for a fairly spectacular advance. How long before we see that bridge to Crimea being hit cutting the island off from the Mainland and drastically increasing the distance resources have to travel to get to Kherson Oblast.
Ultimately, this was was decided in the first few days when Russian forces failed to take key objectives. Everything since then has been a colossal failure and I now believe will culminate in Rusexit. I had my doubts about Ukraine being able to pull off a successful counterattack.
Now I read in a Russian analysis that the Ukrainians, by attacking the least fortified area of Kharkiv, were hoping that the Russian defense ministry would panic and start transferring manpower and equipment from Donbas and southern Ukraine to defend Kharkiv, and that would expose those two fortified strongholds.
According to the same article, by rough estimates the two counter-offensives in Kherson and Kharkiv in the last ten days have already cost Ukraine 9,000 dead soldiers.
