These Russian "successes" seem invented.
Would make sense in a propagandistic way to create an offensive where there is none and then repell it. Or blow things up disproportionally.
Pics or it didn't happen when Ukraine repelled attacks you could see the wrecks and corpses.
Easy goal to present to the Heimatfront.
Petraeus says the offensive will be "impressive".
Lets see fingers crossed. Hope they have long range stuff to destroy everything in the back once the front is breached nurturing further collapse and takes reinforcements away.
Getting accurately shelled 200 km behind the frontlines makes things complicated
I have an impression that the Russian front will collapse fast once breached.
You then need manoeuvre warfare to contain it.
Which Russia is bad at.
Speed and agility doesn't seem to be their strength.
