"Syrsky will seek the weaknesses of Russia": a military strategist predicts a new offensive of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation
Austral General Australia and military strategist Mick Ryan told this in an interview with Telegraph. "Putin can really take advantage of the combination of military and political instability in Ukraine, although such an opportunity is easily overestimated, because your country has repeatedly demonstrated extreme stability and unity. However, a shortage of artillery ammunition is an extremely important problem at this point. Secondly people.
Considering all the factors, I think that we will see a greater Russian offensive in the next few months almost inevitably, "he predicts. Mick Ryan added that Russia does not care about its people as Ukraine, so it should be expected that Russians will continue to throw in a "meat grinder", which will mean the capture of territories and at the same time the harm of the image of the government of Ukraine before the people and the international community.
The military strategist believes that the Russian Federation will continue to focus on the admiration of Donetsk and Luhansk regions and willing to control new positions and move to the areas that are easier to protect. "I think that 2024 will be mostly devoted to the Strategic Defense of the Armed Forces for the purpose of restoring forces. The Ukrainian army has grown significantly, but also suffered serious losses in two years, so it needs recovery. Mobilization will be crucial for this.
Huge supplies of ammunition, which I hope will become after approval by the Americans of the bill, which includes a package of assistance to Ukraine for $ 60 billion, and which is again under consideration in Congress, " - says Ming Ryan. He believes that there are a number of operational problems that defense forces have to solve, and which have not yet been solved by either them or the Russians: "This year there is a lot of work on the Armed Forces.
But that does not mean that Ukrainian troops should give up difficult , sophisticated blows on the enemy who have grown significantly in the level of the last two years. It is about marine drones, UAV Far Radius and Table Missiles. These blows are quite powerful and clearly aimed at reducing Russia's income from energy exports that are quite reasonable Strategy, "says Ryan.
As for the strategy that the Commander -in -Chief of the Armed Forces Alexander Sirsky will choose, he is convinced that he will look for weaknesses from the Russians. "It is extremely important to determine where Russia's weak place. He will try to do something like this, most likely at the beginning of 2025. But he does not seek fights like those that were in the south during a counter -offensive, "the expert said.
