"Deplete, stretch and strikes": Western media about the Armed Forces and War War - CNN

According to CNN, many circumstances will affect the future of this conflict next year. Both sides should withstand dirt, frost and fog of winter months. Winter is coming to Ukraine, but Kiev adapts its tactics of war, using small groups of mobile infantry to check the fortified Russian defense. This is stated in CNN. According to CNN, the forces of Ukraine's defense are now intense war on exhaustion of larger Russian forces at the front of almost 1000 kilometers in length.

The publication suggests that the Russians will probably launch another campaign to destroy Ukraine's energy infrastructure as well as that the occupiers on the battlefield have adapted, and they in Ukraine, for a long time - the defense budget of the Russian Federation next year will be 70% higher than this year. Despite this, but Ukrainians adapt after the unsuccessful start of the counter -offensive.

Western military analysts Franz-Shtefan Hadi and Michael Coffman claim that "the ability of Ukrainian soldiers to quickly master Western technologies has led to an optimism about a short period of time required to create cohesive combat units. " Now Ukrainian defenders have returned to the style of warfare, which is known best by using small groups of mobile infantry to check the fortified Russian defense.

In a big interview with CNN last week, Ukrainian General Alexander Tarnavsky said: "Both the enemy and we use mostly not mouths, battalions or crews, but assault detachments. Groups of 10-15 people. The main skill of each commander of any level is Personnel preservation. " According to him, Ukraine is not ready to risk the victims that the ambitious mechanized offensive will bring, and this tactic of war is less affected by weather conditions. "The weather can be a serious obstacle to promotion.

But given how we move forward, and we are mostly moving without the use of equipment, I do not think that it will greatly affect that stage of the counter -offensive," Tarnavsky added. Admiral Tony Radakin, Chief of Defense of the United Kingdom, described this strategy for Ukrainians in a few words "exhaust, stretch and beat. " Such attacks will probably continue and intensify, but winter weather will complicate them.

If Ukraine is expected to receive an ATACM with several warheads, it will be able to cause much more harm to the Russian goals such as air base. Lieutenant General Kirill General Kirill Budanov said War Zone: "To fight Russian aviation with air defense systems-it is very expensive and ineffective. Aviation needs to be taken to aviation. " Its elimination will be a titanic task. The Russian army has learned from its mistakes.

"It is believed that the Russians quickly study our tactics - this is confirmed by their actions on the battlefield," said Tarnavsky CNN. The moral spirit of the Russians, writes the publication, is difficult to evaluate. According to Ukrainian officials, many Russian prisoners of war do not understand why they are fighting and discipline is often bad.

Last year, Russian missile shelling damaged or destroyed about two -thirds of Ukraine's energy objects, but could not break the determination of citizens. The series of blows this month indicates that the repeated campaign is inevitable. But just as they seek to worsen Russian air defense, Ukrainians have succeeded in improving their own. "Last year, there was neither patriot, nossams, noris-t nor samp-t nor many others," said Prime Minister Denis Schmigal last week.

"Our air defense system has become even more complex and experienced . . . By winter it will become even stronger. " Energy production has also increased. Seven nuclear reactors now work, two more must be launched. The internal production of natural gas has increased.

NATO Secretary -General Jens Stoltenberg, US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken and others spoke about the "stable progress" of Ukraine on the battlefield, but among many Western analysts and officials there is a feeling of an inevitable deadlock. More and more are saying that the conflict will stretch for 2025. Mick Ryan, the former Australian general, says that the Western partners of Ukraine should admit it and plan it.

"Having pledged to support Ukraine during the conflict, the West can undermine Putin's efforts to survive the patrons of Ukraine," he said. Europe and the United States remain committed to Ukraine's support for battle and financial support. But there are signs of fatigue. There are doubts and quarrels. The spring of 2024 can be a potentially important phase of conflict. Both sides will use winter to re -equipment.

Then the first Ukrainian F-16 will be deployed, and perhaps more ATCMS and other missiles of a greater radius of action (except for growing domestic production lines in Ukraine). In Russia next year, war can have greater economic consequences. According to CNN, many circumstances will affect the future of this conflict next year. Both sides should withstand dirt, frost and fog of winter months. Recall that the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation enhance the storms in the Tavriysk direction.
