Ukrainian forces conducting 'very clever' offensives against Russia

- Опубликовано: 5 июн 2024
- Ukrainian forces are advancing on both fronts, whilst Russian forces are just "digging in" and "playing for time", according to a defence analyst.
Speaking to Forces News, Professor Michael Clarke, a former director general of defence and security think tank RUSI, said that the Russians, are in a sense "playing for time for the winter".

What many people don't understand is that currently Ukraine is not really focused on taking land. Ukraine is focused on getting better tactical and strategical positions and cutting off enemy's supply lines. Which will subsequently enable them to dramatically improve the personnel and materiel lost ratio compared to the enemy's. Which mean that this war will become a black hole for Russian army. And once Russian army capabilities deteriorate just enough, Ukraine will most likely strike on ALL fronts at the same time to make sure everything crumbles. And then this war will turn into a whack-a-mole with a billion moles popping at the same time for the Russian brass. Welcome to the quagmire Russia. Giggity.
Very good assestment .
And in that way, Ukraine should be able to make Crimea a living hell from a safe distance, to the point where Russians will just leave.
They trying that from day one. Btw Ukr still are in a hurry to conquer land.
western tanks (leo2 and Marder) are the missing part
For sure. They aren't playing to gain ground but to win. Not even playing to win fast just to win and drain Russia. Russia has already lost 60,000 troops in this war. To put that in perspective the USA lost 58,000 in 20 years in Vietnam and that was enough to drop morale at home. Remember, numbers and technology don't win wars as much as Morale and Logistics. In Russia, since the mobilization was announced, there is already record number of flights going out of country. There will come a point where the people have had enough and Putin will be "removed" from office. The thing is he has to make a play for some victories. I don't mean total victory just yet but he needs some wins to increase moral (both at home and in the soldiers) and to save face so he isn't removed. This does, however, make his play transparent. He is forced into a position where he can't afford a war of attrition. He will have to do something bold and win some objective. The sad thing is we won't see peace with him in power. He can't afford to back out of this war with less then he went in with. He just can't. That's loosing too much face and he will be done for.
Greetings from Belarus!
As for offensive from our country there is no any sings of it. Before 24-02 railway system in Belarus was full of Russian carriages and platforms with troops and military equipment, but now we are observing completely different story: ammunition and tanks are being removed from Belarusian warehouses and being delivered to southern regions of Russia. I'm completely agree with Mr. Clarke that preparations for future offensive will be noticed by Ukrainians because it's just impossible to cover such a huge mass of troops and equipment.
As for participation of Belarusian armed forces in it I'm not completely believe in it due to the fact it would be a political suicide for Lukashenko. Public opinion in our country is strongly against any participation of our troops in any war and this idea dominates among even those who support so called "Special military operation". Also I'm convinced that a significant part of our soldiers will refuse of it or will surrender to Ukrainians. In other words, if a professional Russian army failed to conquer Kiev in February 2022 in my opinion there is no way for mobilized to do it.
Thanks for that - pretty much what I had suspected. Stay safe and all the best from (I'm almost embarrassed at my good fortune in this time of peril) New Zealand.
I appreciate the honesty. Thanks for Intel friend. Stay safe out there.
I did wonder how much support the Belorussians would be ready to support Russia as they can see from the outside looking in that it's been a catastrophe based on a lie in the first place.
Good to know that there are many reasonable people in Belarus. Because if Belarus would join that war, it would loose a big part of it´s young generation - and for what? For primitives like Lukaschenko?
Sounds good, hope Lukashenko just making face for Putin to earn more money.

I don't think Russia has much to counter with let alone do another offensive. I also don't think Ukraine will ever stop even in the winter.
The ukranians has stopped. They are allmost out of manpower and material. And the russians is bringing 300K to the show and the troops are not under restricktions anymore.
In november, maybe december, when the ground is frozen, they move in without resticktions for the final blow and clean up the last pieces of the ukranians millitary.

@@inconvenientfacts8896 Come on Russia!
@@madsolsen9184 where’s your information from? Rz propaganda? It’s untrue.
@@lilacscentedfushias1852 what is untrue ?
Russians 'digging in' in my mind, would be a series of fixed defensive positions along the line of actual control to wait out a miserable winter, an inept Russian command would assume Ukraine is doing the same. Russian positions will be heavily surveilled during the winter months and at a moment of their choosing Ukraine will execute another 'Thunder Run' in Kherson.
Indeed. General Frost may actually favor Ukraine this winter with an ass kicking Christmas. It won't end by Christmas as the battle for Crimea will take at least an entire season, but with the winter gear that Canada and Norway have been sending since August, they will be in a good position to exploit the cold.
Ukranian forces will receive the best quality Winter clothing from the West, on the other hand Russian soldiers will receive very little to protect them from the cold.
Expect Russian morale to plummet as Winter sets in.
Thanks' for bringing in Michael Clarke!! He is always a pleasure to learn from!
Michael Clarkes analysis is always amazing.
Right up to predicting that Ukraine would cross at nova khakhova, over a bridge that they've already destroyed. That would be a suicidal bottleneck if Russia even let them repair the bridge.
@@LordofTheFallen that bridge is narrow and Russia is in lack of precision missiles
@@thexperimenter88 where is your proff of that ? Some foo1 told you that And you ate i raw ? 😂
@@madsolsen9184 hahaha
@@madsolsen9184 check latest crux video, it looks like Russia only has about 800 missiles left. They would not be using S300 missiles to bomb Ukraine if their precision missiles were plentiful, its elementary
The play is to cut off the water to Crimea, now that the bridge is vulnerable. Watch what comes next brilliance.
Ukraine's earlier battle in the Donbas resulted in massive casualties to the Ukrainian forces due to the overwhelming artillery and manpower of the Russian forces across the open terrain. However, Ukraine learned quickly to reorient their strategy in their counter-offensives in the northeast and southeast: to drastically weaken the enemy by: first destroying command posts, ammunition depots, fuel depots, logistics (bridges, railways, and roads), and concentrations of troops, artillery, and rocket-launchers; meanwhile, deeply demoralise the enemy by constant 24/7 guerilla attacks, sabotage, and forcing surrender; acquiring POWs and intact military hardware from the Russians to be used against them; and, liberating oppressed Ukrainian citizens in previously Russian-occupied communities.

The front lines won't stabilise when the winter comes, the frozen ground becomes perfect for mechanised advances, probably better even than the summer as there is no choking dust. A well prepared force will love the winter and trust me the Ukrainians are on home territory and have been planning and waiting for the coming of the cold since March. It will be the Ruso/Finnish winter war all over again.
If you believe it enough, it MAY become true.
Trenches will be easier for the Russians to dig once the ground is frozen........haha....just kidding. Sorry Russians.
I'm not sure your statement has a lot of validity
@@marshallmintz7564 they're not digging trenches, they're digging their graves.
@@dave.p153 Oh ....I think it does. The Russians do NOT wish to be there. Why would they? Do you think anybody actually likes the deranged dwarf?
*i don't think Ukraine will back off for winter.* They have better winter equipment. Their offensives use lighter equipment less likely to get bogged down in soft terrain. Russian morale will be even lower, Russian supply lines worse, fewer aircraft and drones operating. This is an advantageous time for Ukraine offensives.
*We might be overstating the difficulty of moving equipment in winter shy of deep snow.* Most military equipment, including tanks, APCs, and IFVs, exert less PSI on the ground than a person walking. When you see stuck vehicles, it is typically in a wetlands, or where vehicles have been following in a long line over unpaved, ungraveled roads
Indeed. And since Canada and Norway have been sending winter gear since August, that puts them in a good position to exploit the cold.
@@davidford3115 This is exactly what I was going to say.
Ukraine doesn't have a lot of specialist winter offensive vehicles, but what they have should be enough to punch through in a few places and then territorial defense forces can hold the line behind the advance.
I don't think Russia cares about how many people they send to die either. I hope they lose but Russian history is full of "victories" where tens of thousands die and they win. They lost 80,000 in the battle of Berlin. In the Battle of Kursk they lost 800,000 men to the Germans 200,000.
@@Bradimoose Take away Russia's advantage in military equipment, and Russia loses both of your references. If Russia still had notable reserves of equipment, they wouldn't be spending resources to Frankenstein together T-62s.

Yes, as General Grant did in the American Civil War to the Sothern forces: Don't engage in expensive pitched frontal assaults. Instead, flank them out of their defensive positions and make them move back to new ones constantly.
Poetin has no clue what hé is doing, thats a absoluut lucky thing.
@@yellowstone2ndtrumpet304 agreed
There was one French general, from the times they were still fighters, that wrote: You can win the war without fighting any pitched battle. Just whittle them away, little by little.
@@panan7777 that can not be Napoleon as he got whittled away himself. To and from Moskou...
France was dug in pretty well at the start of WW-2 Germans just went around much of the line.
And that is pretty much how Ukraine has dealt with Russian positions: out flank them with superior mobility. Guderian would be proud.
Professor Clarke said that the Russians would bide their time for a potential offensive, probably next year in the Spring. Aren't Spring and Autumn the worst times to conduct an offensive in that part of the world, due to the rain and soil conditions? Isn't the best time of year for an offensive in the middle of winter when the ground, and perhaps rivers are frozen solid? The attacking side can maneuver, and the defending side, unless already dug in, cannot dig in because the ground is simply too hard for shovels and diggers.
Battle of Kursk, Operation Barbarossa?
@@RobinPhillips1957 in Barbarossa Germany did actually have large early operation success however Russia was already very dug in and fortifies
I am from the US, but believe that the ground does freeze in parts of the north, but not in the south.
Smart response
“Better to conduct military operations in middle of a frozen freezing cold winter” you say??? Wow, that’s enough Internet for you mate. Pfffft what a moronic statement. Fought a lot of wars in the frozen winter have you? This isn’t COD mate!
I can't help thinking a cold winter is likely to cause mass desertion and surrender among the Russians given the state of their equipment and logistics.
What on earth do you know about Russian equipment and logistics?
Btw, Hitler said the same:)
@@a.brekkan4965 Ukraine is not the invader. Hitler was, and he should have taken a lesson from Napoleon, invading the USSR / Russia was just too big a job. Defeating a Russian invasion is possible though. New conscripts just are not being given the equipment they need and logistics is one of Russia's downfalls in this invasion. I've had a good look at Russian equipment, their felt boots are great if they are going to get them that is!

I could listen to this Man forever! Thanks.
Yes, he is good at fairytales.
This is the first major 'good vs evil' was since WW2. Glory to Ukraine.
Why don't you go then big man.
Actually I agree and as a Canadian it's easy to see what's evil.
I used to think American foreign policy was evil, (still do), but I always believed American foreign policy didn't reflect true American values. I'm wrestling with that and am currently undecided but getting close to changing my mind.
In 1994 Tonya Harding (American figure skater) destroyed (broke her knee) Nancy Kerrigan because she couldn't win fairly. Was that an anomaly or is that how most Americans compete?
That's exactly what America is doing with Russia, Europe, China, and virtually every small country they deal with. If America can't compete, it destroys.
Everybody knows it and they silently support it. Remember when Pompeo bragged at a Texas A&M university that the CIA "we lie, we steal, we cheat,' ? Well that's not really news but what I found scary was how the entire audience laughed and applauded.
Americans seem to support cheating and lying and destroying anyone who might succeed.
Americans stopped their government in the Vietnam war. Why have Americans not stopped their government from the continuous regime change, invasions, sanctions, and proxy wars that kill and impoverish people every day?
So either America is not a democracy or the majority of Americans are as evil as the CIA and their foreign policy.

The Soviet Red Army made its greatest gains against the Wehrmacht in winter. I could see Ukraine doing the same, especially as Canada and Norway have been sending cold weather gear since August.
What if they spread out and have 2 guys per trench. Ukraine wouldn't waste a Himar to kill 2 soldiers
@@Bradimoose Yeah, but then that would mean they are weak enough for the Ukrainians to break through their lines. It is a balancing act where you don't cluster you guys, but then you do want to spread them out too thin either.

Thanks sir Michael
Kherson is on the west side of the river, so they don't have to cross to the east side to surround Kherson.
they will if want to cross the dneiper river
Kherson is hugging the river. It can't be surrounded without crossing.
Russians are fleeing anyway; besides they been making light work of river crossings.
Kherson City is on the west side. Kherson Oblast is on both sides of the river.
At this point they may well be able to cross the river. If they can... F.
Russia will be toast.
Kherson probably doesn't need to be siege from both banks. However, if Ukraine gets a bridge head into East Kherson Oblast, they will be able to pincer the Kherson, and Zacharia fronts; effectively cutting off the land bridge, and supplies from Crimea. HIMARs will be able to hit Putin's bridge with impunity. They will push Russia back to the 2014 line.
Gonna push them to a point they can't retreat without bombardment
And then stop and let them fight each other for a chance to get out.

His ideas are 50 year old with a large Army
Ukraine is making better use of men and munitions
Agreed. The Soviet Red Army made its greatest gains against the Wehrmacht during the winter months. I suspect Ukraine will also enjoy that favor from General Frost.
thanks
I think that the attack to conquer the Kerson must be smart and slow without too many losses for the Ukrainians !
I think the biggest difference in the north from February to now. Ukrainians have better defenses, surveillance, equipment & most of all battle-hardened troops deployed. I wouldn’t doubt that Ukrainian commanders have a mix of freshly trained troops & veterans from the Eastern & Southern Fronts. Every day.. more Ukrainians are gaining actually combat experience. More NATO-trained Ukrainians return. Those will passed down their training to others. Even more NATO weapons are in the hands of the defenders. Much different military that the Russians faced in February. And, the Russians lost their northern offensive then.
One of my uncles was in a special unit during WW2. After they took Italy, the unit was broken up and the men scattered throughout the army to share their knowledge and skill. They were very valuable.
Solid analysis as always.
Yes, but without much reallity. He is totally gone.
I will never get tired of Professor Clarke, please have more of his analyst on this war.
Ukraine does have a large force in the North West that just finished conducting a training exercise code named Northern Storm in preparation for a possible attack from Belarus. Another 10,000 troops finished training in the UK and are headed back. a group that could help bolster the Ukrainian army in the north or switch out front line units at the current front who can then rest in the North West until Russia decides to attack from there.

True. It's a good thing having this nonsense to cover-off on in the north. Gives the Ukrainians somewhere to rotate to for a rest.

Offensives are still possible in Winter when the ground freezes.
Attacking in Winter will often catch the enemy off guard as they are not expecting it.
Canada took Vimy Ridge in the middle of a snow storm.
Marshall Mud has not slowed down the Ukrainians, so if that is any indication, shows General Frost may favor Ukraine. And since the Canadians and Norwegians have been sending winter gear since August, that puts Ukraine in a VERY good position as contrasted with Russia and its lack of proper gear.
In the Russian army they teach you to flee with confidence.
Advancing to the rear?
In Nato and US army they teach you to flee afgan peasants. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
It will be interesting to see if the Ukrainians wait for Spring. With Russian morale so low, poor training and poor supply of essentials like winter gear, equipment and food, and then digging in, it is going to be monumentally tough on the Russian soldier.
And with all the new precision long range artillery Ukraine have at their disposal now, this could turn into a nightmare for Russia, or a mass surrender.
Canada and Norway have been sending winter gear since August. That puts Ukraine in a good position to exploit the cold, unlike the Russians who don't have proper gear for even summer/fall.

If the Russian can't supply thier troops how are they going to do this in Winter... those CHEAP Chinese tires will disintegrate when the the temperature goes well below zero.

Difficult to reconcile the comments made in the video wth the Ukrainian gains being made every day, sure the rate varies, but 'repositioning' doesn't really capture what's going on. Indeed, it's quite easy to envisage large elements of a Russian army increasingly reliant on the 1000s of poorly/un-trained, poorly equipped conscripts now being rushed into Ukraine to spend an entire winter living in trenches simply collapsing e.g. compare/contrast Ukraine receiving 100s of 1000s of winter uniforms with Russia discovering 1.5 million of theirs had gone "missing". Moreover, now Russia has ground it's way thru conscripts from the separatist regions, the actual Russian-Russian bodycount is going to race up with all that potentially means for domestic politics.
@Greece drawns in a Russian Cesspool of lawlesness Ah, so that’s todays thread is it?
I’m not too sure that The Kremlin is willing to commit suicide just yet, as they are still trying to chase down civilians and tampons to send into Ukraine.
Pootin: "Thank you for the information and analysis. It will help us prepare."
It's like a chess match between Bobby Fisher and a tardigrade.
Sorry, Prof, didn't you notice the new Ukrainian symbol's a take on the SAS? Their strategy's not one of winter quarters, they've set up a cascading series of dominoes aimed at Tokmak, with the entire supply line to the Crimea reduced to the coast road, air and ship.
Indeed. It is as if they forgot that the Soviet Red Army made its greatest advances against the Wehrmacht during the winter. With all of the cold weather gear Canada and Norway have sent, I see Ukraine doing the same.
It is not *Ukraine* , it is *NATO* . The war is not between Russia and Ukraine but between *NATO* vs *Russia*
Not true. It is between NATO supplied Ukr and Ru
@@adamz7038 you delusional if you think Ukraine the poorest country in Europe with GDP per Capital before the war at $3000 , which is less than average *African* country , could stand against Russia 🇷🇺. It is all NATO wopeans, intelligence, Supply management, Strategy, mercenaries and volunteers doing all the hard job... the war is between *NATO* and *Russia*
Very well exposed and clear the situation and possible advances of both bands,thanks
Oh no
God protect Ukraine.
I'd prefer to count on Ukraine's allies to do that rather than an extremely inactive god.
What you're talking about is a classic siege of Kherson. Russians would be cut off from supply but they could steal food and shelter from the Ukrainian citizens causing them to suffer. The Russians could hold out while the citizens starve. Because of this I don't think a standard encirclement will work for Kherson and it may have to be assaulted.
The Russians are gone already, stragglers only, left behind!
if that happen then normal fighting would happen which mean they wont come alive.
Russians seem more interested in giving up then dying for putin.
the tactic work because of the low moral of russian army
But the Ruzzians have announced the deportation of the Kherson population. What's that about? Flooding? Nuclear explosions? Fighting?
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Putin knows the bitterly cold winter in Ukraine’s cities without total electricity will be extremely difficult for the civilians.
Attend to disagree that the lines are going to stabilize during the winter. The Russians are limited where they can go because of all the wetland. If they stabilize on one front and dig in, by not moving Ukraine will just Hammer the hell out of them and it will be dead. As long as Ukraine can take over their drones easily and send them back on them, and use their own drones to terrorize and bomb Russian soldiers Plus show heavy artillery where to hang it will be just like last winter. Total devastation for Russians on the front line in my opinion. I could be wrong, but I watched a lot of wars heaven flow in my 65 years.
Don't forget that the Soviet Red Army made its biggest gains against the Wehrmacht during the winter months. I can easily see Ukraine doing the same, especially when you consider that Canada and Norway have been sending cold weather gear since August.
My Ukrainian cousin joined the AFU back in February, he had months and months of training. Now he’s on the front line. Yet 🤡face thinks giving someone a bit of uniform and a gun makes them a trained soldier. I said bit of uniform because we know there isn’t enough uniform, kit or weapons. The cold is coming, if the men off the street haven’t had experience of working or sleeping outside, they have an ordinary sleeping bag, dry rations. They will be surrendering in droves! 🇺🇦🌻🇺🇦🌻🇺🇦🌻🇺🇦🌻
I stopped at the clown face I don't think that represents an intelligent adult comment
@@dave.p153 It's a proper response to clownish comments...
No its something a five-year-old would say. And by the way you're talking to a professional clown lol
The noose is tightening and Putin is starting to cry “Uncle.” What all of that suggests is that they are getting to the point of absolute failure. This is not the time to lose resolve. This is the time to press militarily until Russia leaves all of Ukraine including Crimea. Once that is accomplished, negotiations can begin.
