Fighting in the Kursk Oblast: In ISW, they told how the invasion of the Russian Federation can change the war

"The Ukrainian Kursk campaign is a key moment in the war with the potential to change its trajectory - emphasizes several critical aspects of the battlefield," the message reads. Analysts noted that Ukraine has surgical surprise, using the lack of readiness of the enemy to defend the border areas.

"This campaign has shown that surprise is still possible even on a partially transparent battlefield, where the enemy may observe the concentration of forces, but cannot reliably recognize the intention at these concentrations," the ISW emphasized. In addition, Ukraine can win from the fact that the occupiers have attacked almost all over the front for months, and did not build large fortifications in the rear.

Therefore, the defense forces can restore the operational maneuver through the planning and conduct of a series of smaller consistent counter -offensive operations instead of inflicting one decisive blow.

The fighting in the territory of Ukraine became the first Great War, which "witnessed several technological phenomena", namely: "These technological phenomena are only the most noticeable features of the current conflict, which is likely to become central in any future Great War-there are many others Examples of modern systems and methods that are first used on an enemy-level scale with similar opportunities, "analysts said.

The ISW emphasized the importance of experiments on the battlefield observed in the Kursk region. In particular, this "contrasts with the danger of continued defense and emphasizes the need for constant adaptation in the modern war. " We will remind, on August 12 a spokesman of the operational-strategic group of Tavriya troops Dmitry Likhov reported that the Russian Federation moves units from the Dnieper direction to the Kursk region.
