"Seven-Nine Weeks": NATO compared the Armed Forces counter-offensive in Normandy (video)

According to Lieutenant-Admiral Rob Bauer, during the Second World War, the Germans also built a strong defense, which, thanks to the titanic efforts, managed to break through. After that, the territory was released in a short time. NATO compared the counter -offensive of the Armed Forces, during which new territories should be liberated, with one of the battles during the Second World War.

This was stated by the head of the Alliance Military Committee Lieutenant Admiral Rob Bauer, Reuters reports on July 3. According to him, the offensive actions on the front are extremely difficult for Ukrainian defenders, but there is nothing like that. Russian invaders have built obstacles on the battlefield that do not allow the defense line quickly. "A counter -offensive is difficult. People should never think it's an easy step. It will never be," the message reads.

Separately, Rob Bauer praised the tactics of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and remembered the battle for Normandy during the Second World War, where the Allies needed more than two months to break through the German defense line. There were also minefields, the use of combat aviation, and other various engineering barriers, but as a result, the plans of the enemy failed.

"We saw in Normandy during the Second World War that the Allies took seven, eight, nine weeks to actually break through the defensive lines of the Germans. So it is not surprising that it happens quickly," Lieutenant Admiral continued. As a result, the operation of 1944 ended with success and the enemy's troops had to leave the positions, and the territories were released one by one in a short time. It takes a little patience and faith. Now the situation can turn the same.
