Steamrolling the Defence — Ukraine and the Invaders
Ukraine has made great progress amid the most heavily mined warzone known to man. As we speak, the UAF is headbutting Putin’s wall of conscripts and disillusioned regulars.
Progress has been made in the surrounding hills of Bakhmut, Rozdolivka, and south of Velyka Novosilka. Much like the Korean War, the UAF is fighting to gain high ground for long-tube artillery to reach further into the enemy’s lines. The hills they’ve secured south of Bakhmut will allow them to hammer Russian positions deep into the oblasts.
This will make reinforcing Bakhmut difficult, and if the UAF continues to make progress north of the city, then retreat will be impossible.
However, the UAF has given up on trying to encircle and force the capitulation of Russian field armies. It has become clear in this war that the Russian army is poorly trained and therefore slow to recognize defeat.
This doesn’t mean encirclements are off the strategic table; rather, the UAF wants to deprive the enemy of ammunition and artillery support. In this state, capitulation will be moot, for the enemy will have no teeth.
The advantages of the UAF are ever stacking. As we speak, cluster munitions are decimating trench lines.
