The event signal? How will the course of the Armed Forces success in the Kharkiv direction change the war

Frank Ledvodzh, a military intelligence officer, a teacher of military strategy and law at the Portsmut University, author of the book "Investment in the blood" of Kharkiv offensive is of great importance and outside the battlefield most people outside Ukraine, even military analysts, have never heard of Alexander Sir. But Colonel-General Syrian claims the title of the most successful General of the 21st century.

The success of the operation in eastern Ukraine, which he commanded, is the largest Ukrainian victory in the war today, along with the defeat of the 57-year-old commander of the Russian troops at the gates of Kiev in March. Video of the day tactical offensive on Kupyansk and Izium was well planned and perfectly executed on a poorly held part of Russian positions. Success can be partly explained by bad Russian and excellent Ukrainian intelligence.

One Ukrainian official commented: "They are blind, we all see. " It is likely that this happened at least partially because Ukraine has taken over temporary control of air by destroying Russian radars and using its Germany's Anti -aircraft Systems to bring down their aircraft and drones.

The multi -year telegraph on the operation ("successful" and "long") after the return of Kherson in the south of Ukraine has led to the fact that the Russian command relocated considerable forces to protect this sector. This was the weakening of the East's positions.

All this was followed by a rapid all -military blow that combined tanks, infantry, artillery and aviation into a predominant forces, which could be considered successful, even if it was possible to capture only the vital supply base in Kupyansk. But the case went much further, and now the more important Izum knot is in the hands of Ukrainians.
