In the style of RDC: the Russian Federation has tested a new tactic of combat in Kharkiv region - expert

Ivan Kirichevsky said this in a comment to Liga. net. "The Russians managed to detain at the turn of the village of Liptsi. So it was possible to disrupt their main strategic intelligence - to try in small groups to break into Kharkiv," Kirichevsky said. According to him, the breakthrough did not become unexpected for the Armed Forces, and there was no significant number of military people in the border, because it is dangerous to keep them there.

At the same time, it is impossible to strengthen the border in the north, which was said in March 2024 by the spokesman of the State Border Service Andriy Demchenko. First of all, this is due to Russian shelling, which do not allow Ukrainian engineering groups to work in the area of ​​offensive on Kharkiv.

According to Demchenko, all directions in the north of Ukraine were intensified at different distances from the border (depending on the complexity of the situation, relief and features of the area). According to the canons of post -Soviet military science, the fortified defense line is built deep into about 30 kilometers: this is a lane, the first line and the second line. "So it turned out that Vovchansk was on the provision.

In his opinion, the lightning rates of the offensive on Kharkiv are not discussed. "On May 13, hostile losses per day - 1700. This is a mad record figure. The Russians fourth day go to the border Vovchansk, to capture (with subsequent exit to the Grade Kharkiv) on February 24, 2022, they needed several hours," - said the Defense Express analyst . Kirichevsky noted that the occupiers decided to test the tactics of fighting "RDC style", only on a larger scale.

"It is unlikely that the RDC and other armed units of the Russian opposition have 30,000 bayonets and an obscene number of tanks. But everything is much better than we can imagine," Kirichevsky explained. At the same time, the ex -staff of the General Staff, the reserve colonel, Seleznyov, stressed that in this way the enemy would feel Ukrainian defense to understand where there is a weak place that can be attacked during the offensive of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation on Kharkiv.

"The defense forces were alert. Just a few days before, Ukraine received the first artillery ammunition, so we sprinkle the enemy not only in this direction but also in other areas of the front," Seleznev said. In general, according to experts, the effect of strengthening Ukrainian defense and some weakening of the Russian army is quite noticeable. "The level of readiness for hostilities was higher than it is accepted now. The situation is complex and unpleasant. But better than it is accepted.
