Beat the enemy first: why Ukraine attacked the Russian Federation in Kursk region and right now

The first results of the Ukrainian offensive in the Kursk region allow the military observer Alexander Karpyuk to draw preliminary conclusions. He sees this operation as a strategic response to the efforts of the Russian Federation in the Kharkiv direction and as a fully justified action. Thoughts on the judge. Subjective. Like many in the days, I tried to understand the meaning of the strategy of forming a bridgehead in Kursk region. Something began to form in thoughts. Answers began to appear.

Recently, the enemy planned an offensive on Kharkiv-Sumy. The Armed Forces formed a reserve for reflection of the offensive from that direction. But then the enemy chose in the Kharkiv region and no longer developed an offensive in Sumy, because he overturned the units from Sumy region to the Kharkiv direction. But the plan of the offensive in this direction is still, just the Russian Federation has postponed the offensive on the time when it predicts the group on that line.

Apparently, in the Armed Forces command they decided not to wait for the enemy to break the settlements in Sumy region, but went to the Kursk region to arrange a "buffer zone" there. It will give us time on our land while the enemy is ** to be aircraft. Answer: If you realize that there will be a war in this direction, then beat the first, until the enemy is waiting, and pass the initiative.

There are several important infrastructure objects in the Kursk region that need to be controlled by the ̶ ̶ ̶ ̶ ̶ ̶ ̶ ̶ ̶ ̶ ̶ ̶ ̶ ̶ ̶ ̶ ̶ ̶ ̶ ̶ ̶ ̶ ̶ ̶ ̶ ̶. In addition, work is underway to change the ways that the enemy can pull up forces and means. This complicates the deployment of columns in battle, because it is not a Donetsk direction, there is no organized bridgehead here, and to do it, it is necessary to spend time, means and living.

As aviation and artillery to knock out of the Armed Forces from infrastructure objects that are very needed by the Russian Federation and which, if possible, it is impossible to restore in reality in reality - well. Yes, you need, and first you need to negate the difference in the power. In the Pokrovsky direction "Pigdogies" are already throwing backup crews on the offensive, they have an initiative there.

It is better to force these reserves to transfer to a direction where they have no advantage than to fight an enemy in a city where they are comfortable and according to their rules, because there are no important objects here for the Russian Federation, everything is falling apart with aviation and missiles. If they can pull the reserves there and thus give us time here - it will be very cool. So.

At the same time, they will collapse many of their settlements, lose several infrastructure objects and initiative in the Kharkiv direction. In addition, they will still have to organize border protection, because now they are removing all units and throwing it into the Donetsk region, because we know that we will not cross the border.

The destroyed area will make them allocate some of the resources to protect the borders to prevent repetition, which is a difficult task, given that they are lacking. Well, what you do. Facebook is not about facts, it is about trade in emotions. At the same time, some people have dropped to the fact that Gerasimov almost quoted during evaluating this operation, indicates a lot of their moral state.

But such bloggers deliberately simplify the situation because they consider their subscribers to cattle. Such military operations have very careful planning. The fighters who went there had specific tasks, the command understood what steps should be taken, what they should achieve, how much to gain to exchange "pigs", at what time what objects should be replaced and which - destroyed.

None of these commanders got the task: "Well, go, shy, the main thing is that the attention of the people from the Pokrovsky direction is focused on this. " For two days, the operation goes, judging from the territory and lost by the Russian Federation (there are three helicopters and one aircraft from aviation, so it seems not bad. It can be anything in the future, it is a war. But all together to support the boys there, the only thing they need from us is support. So let's all focus on it.
