      Russian doctrine is also that the main defenses are to be 15km behind the point of contact, with those 15km being filled with small outposts and mine fields.
      Basically, Ukraine managed to beat the picket lines, but was stopped from reaching the actual defensive line.

  • @Denkkraft
    @Denkkraft Год назад +556

    In military strategy, there's a fine line between a genuine breakthrough and merely pushing the frontline into a salient. While both represent a forward movement, the latter can be fraught with peril.
    A salient refers to a protrusion in the frontline where an army has managed to push forward but not break through enemy defenses, creating a bulge in the line. While this bulge may appear as a territorial gain on a map, it represents a potentially precarious position on the ground. Forces within a salient are exposed to attack from multiple sides, with flanks vulnerable to encircling movements. Moreover, the extended supply lines feeding the troops inside the salient can be easily interdicted by the enemy.
    When the attacking force only succeeds in creating a salient rather than achieving a full breakthrough, they risk being caught in a position where they are extended too far without the strategic depth or advantage that a genuine breakthrough would afford.
    Salients that extend into previously devastated regions further compound the risk. The destroyed infrastructure, whether it's roads, buildings, or other essential features, limits the defensive and logistical capabilities of the force inside the salient. Without adequate shelter or proper routes for resupply, the troops become vulnerable to concentrated enemy fire, ambushes, and potential encirclement. Essentially, what might initially look like an advance can swiftly turn into a trap.
    In conclusion, while a salient may indicate some form of advancement, without the full exploitation and momentum that comes with a genuine breakthrough, the occupying force can find itself in a significantly disadvantageous position. It's a situation that emphasizes the importance of not just gaining ground but understanding the strategic implications of that ground.

      Well said, a small advance into what are successive lines of defensive belts cannot be considered a breakthrough by any means. For such to be the case, the attackers would as the word suggests, actually break through the lines of defense and ideally perform the tricky maneuver of pushing fresh formations through their depleted ones to exploit it.

      We are seriously degrading Russian artillery and manpower. For the first time in the war we have artillery superiority not just in precision, effect, but also numbers. Russia cannot keep up the demand and they don’t rotate troops. Eventually so long as western support material roles in, the lines will break. Russia lacks the armor systems to do any kind of quick pincer or flanking movement so your concern, while sound, isn’t the case here. We can pull back at will. Russian counter attacks are piecemeal and with dated systems. Their artillery and suicide drones are difficult but not on the level compared to our combined artillery, himars, and fpv drones.

Oh, and a lot of it was quickly recaptured by Russia and in the last few weeks Ukraine made zero new gains while Russia has.

      Not yet. But it is likely coming. If Ukraine can take Verbove and secure the left flank of their salient they can strike south and west attacking of the remaining entrenchments from the flanks and roll up the entire southern front. As that gap widens, more and more mechanized units can pour through.

    Trenches are a double-edged sword. They provide enhanced protection across a large line utilizing a minimal number of personnel, but if the enemy takes it, they become a sheltered and easily defensible position with which so spread laterally up and down the trench. A small breach at a single point along the trench gives attackers a focused path down said trench to uncompromised areas that were previously heavily defended. So on the map, if Ukraine has ready access to even one part of a trench line, you matter as well turn the whole thing blue because the Russians aren't going to be stupid enough to try and hold a breached trench line nor leave forces in place with a compromised trench behind them.

The paras aren't called in so much to stop the breakthrough as they are better at killing, and these pockets are concentrations of soldiers. In a grind out war of attrition, by the numbers. Have your best in the most concentrated areas to get the most action out of them. The actual Russian defensive map is stupid in it's depth, with mines. This is going to be the winter soon and the Russians might be able to close these pockets and capture people.

    The reason for the zig zag layout comes from lessons learned in WWI and before. If a shell lands directly in the trench it only kills those in the immediate vicinity. The blast cannot ravel down the length of the trench. The Ukrainians are using drones and grenades to help clear each section once in the trench.

The grenades are where the zig zag really make a huge difference. They probably help a lot with just regular guns too, flamethrowers, shotguns and machineguns. Just having some cover to hide behind makes a huge difference.

      It will be pretty brutal but modern artillery shells also still have their blast limits depending on the depth of trenches, spread of troops and structure of the trenches. An indent can really redirect the explosion to a sphere smaller than what its actual potential is, or depending on the shell can also obliterate just the general area and bury men alive. One of the real dangers in the end from the trenches is actually getting buried alive in the mud and dirt from shells dislodging so much of the previous structure at once.@@nicklibby3784

    It's less of a breakthrough and more of a breach, Emil Kastehelmi has interesting threads on this, but basically a breakthrough is only such when the enemy is no longer able to mount an organized defense and the breaching forces are able to move with speed and exploit the flagging defense to make significant movements into the enemy's rear areas. That hasn't happened yet. Instead it's more of a slow slog from trench to trench and treeline to treeline. Even if a breakthrough is achieved I doubt Ukraine would be effectively able to exploit it given they've committed both breaching Echelons (9th and 10th Corps) to just getting to where they are now. They do have a Third Echelon reserve force but they're equipped for flank defense not being the spearhead. They might take Verbove, but reaching Tokmak is likely beyond Ukraine's current capabilities. Then Ukraine will find themselves in a salient they made around Robotyne, but the Russians also lack the forces at this time to conduct an operation of the scale necessary to attempt an encirclement so we're at a stalemate as neither side is able to advance the front.

    The term "breakthrough" confused the hell out of me for sure. I saw this video title this morning and said to myself b.s. they were still far from breaking through last night.

      They've breached the line in parts, but that's a long way off getting an army corps through the gap and keeping it supplied. I can't see it happening

      ​@@juliantheapostate8295line can not be breached in parts 😊 can be breached only first or second line. If they breached it would be breakthrough

      Well no. It's possible to take defences and then not be able to hold them against a counter-attack. Happened all the time in WW1@@drzavnalutrija
