      The author of the report deliberately photographed Kharkiv from the Ukrainian borders only, but it is surrounded on two sides by Russian territory, which Russia can easily encircle from the north and east. Now in the winter stage we have entered the stage of logistics. Snow in Ukraine is cumulative, meaning it falls on top of each other, and therefore only public roads are suitable, and this is a big problem for pedestrians on both sides.

    I think video is quite informative beyond its niche. Most people know being the attacker in an Urban setting sucks, but few (including I) have never considered urban conglomerations and how you move your forces in or around said city zones.
    There’s certainly no shortage of major cities a stones toss away from multiple mid sized cities.

    • @Zogerpogger
      @Zogerpogger Год назад +12

      Yes, I found the video to be interesting.
      I think the talk of Urban-conglomerations applies to many hypothetical situations. For instance there are many individuals, or at least there used to be, who argued that just taking Moscow would have been the coup-de-grace to the USSR in 1941. The whole question of whether taking Moscow would have won the war for Germany is one thing (I don't think it would have), but the issue in that statement implied by this video is with the "taking Moscow" bit. Those who argue for this see that a German unit was within 18km, or something like that, and think "If things had been a little different and the main force had been able to advance a few dozen more km, they could have won". This I think is especially prevalent in documentaries and such which try to make it seem very dramatic and as if everything hung on a thread, when in reality taking the city of Moscow would have been a huge undertaking in-and-of-itself even if they had reached it.
      Looks like I went on another comment section ramble again when I have work to do...I just thought this example was an interesting illustration of how people sometimes don't consider urban geography and infrastructure when considering hypotheticals.

    As a citizen of Kharkiv, I can tell that we were afraid russians would occupy the city pretty quickly considering it is near the border, but after the first week, it became clear they can not break in (actually they managed but it was a suicidal mission), so they just started to shell city with artillery. Barbaric tactics to destroy what you can't gain.

    It's amazing how each side forgets happened the last time every time fighting around Kharkiv, over and over again.

      Considering that the two wars took place about 60 years apart, it's not that surprising. There were no jet fighters, combat helicopters, satellite imagery, or computers and radio communication was completely brand new.
      Plus, there's always the chance in war that your opponent is dumber than his grandfather was.
      That said, it's kinda scary how Donbas and Kharkiv have the same strategic relationship as a "fortress and ravelin".

    Kharkiv was also the first capital of the Ukrainian SSR in contrast to Kiev, wich was held by the Ukraine's People's Republic, independent from Moscow. It's currently also Ukraine's 2nd largest city. If Russia were to capture the city, they would most likely proclaim it to be the capital of their "Novorossija" project.
