I would call our main strategy such a specific phenomenon - steel Ukrainian thresher.

As in the mill, the millstone is constantly ground with wheat to flour, so we need to grind the enemy to dust, ”the military expert said. At the same time, he noted that, unfortunately, this process will last a long time. "I share your opinion that there is a risk around the Kharkiv region, but there is a certain restrained strategic optimism that they have no resources for a full capture at this moment," Chernik added.

According to the expert, Kharkiv will be under serious artillery and missile shelling, as it is located 40 km from the Russian border. “Installations such as the 237 Pion Caliber have an active-reactive projectile that can shoot up to 50 kilometers. Moreover, they are now C-300 anti-aircraft missile complexes, which are designed to knock down high-speed air goals, reconfigured for landing at land, which is about 100 kilometers, quite a lot.
