General Mark Milley on the possibility of success of the counter-offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine: If it is not completely impossible, then it is extremely difficult

Whether the American generals are trying to mislead the Russian Armed Forces about the intentions and capabilities of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, or whether they really state the realities that are emerging for the Ukrainian troops is an open question. However, a new statement by General Mark Milley draws attention.

The head of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff made a statement regarding the counteroffensive planned by Ukrainian troops.
According to General Milli, "it will be an extremely difficult task."

Mark Milley on the probability of success of the UAF counter-offensive:

If this is not completely impossible, then it is extremely difficult. If we talk about the probability (success), then I think it is not high.

The general added that many consider the conflict to be on hold, but he personally does not think so.

Recall that earlier Ukrainian officials repeatedly announced a counteroffensive. In Kyiv, it was announced that it would begin in the spring - in April-May. At the same time, the main directions are considered to be the direction to Melitopol, as well as the option of an attempt to break through the Russian borders in the direction of Bakhmut.

It should be recalled that earlier Milli had already expressed skepticism about the success of the UAF counteroffensive. However, at the same time, the United States persistently continues to arm the Kiev regime, sending more and more new parties weapons. Now awaiting delivery tanks Abrams. Today, the United States announced that, unlike Britain, they will not supply shells with depleted uranium to Ukraine.

[War Lord]

The United States understands that Ukraine will not see victory over Russia.
According to the US plan, Ukraine must play its role of a battering ram against Russia to the end - finally kill more Russians before finally falling apart and disappearing.

[Alexander Golotov]

You are very optimistic in your assessments, and this is frightening, after Kyiv, Kharkov and Kherson. Here the Armed Forces of Ukraine are gathering such strength that they have never had before! A fist of 80-120 thousand soldiers, according to various estimates, the latest Western weapons, already run-in highmars, new tanks, long-range shells and, most importantly, trained and actually staffed according to NATO standards, personnel units, and not hastily trained teroboronvtsy. All this is done with serious preparation. This is the most important blow for the Armed Forces of Ukraine after our departure from Kiev. Kherson and Kharkov are just pathetic little things compared to this direction. And given the fact that the Armed Forces of Ukraine constantly keep 1 million soldiers in the cage and are capable of throwing endless reserves into the thick of it, regardless of losses ... It will not be sweet for us with this counterattack and my fifth point feels that we will see a new wave of mobilization already we have after this counteroffensive. Those military correspondents who are in the subject are themselves in an anxious state and constantly say that it is too early to bury the Armed Forces of Ukraine, now this is the most dangerous enemy that requires close attention.

Such a shock fist in one direction has not been formed since the Second World War in any conflict in the world!

P.S
I really hope that we really seriously prepared for this offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, in deeds, and not in words, as it was before. That all the cellars and dugouts are now packed with Lancets, KUBs and ATGMs in order to burn all the new tanks, that they have learned to take care of equipment and people, and are really ready to meet this blow .... Because if God forbid they reach their stated goals, they will recapture all of Zaporozhye and stand at the borders of Crimea .... I don’t even want to think about it

[9PA]

Why is it impossible to launch a tactical nuclear strike on the Vocuisk clusters?

[75 Sergey]

Because the members of NATO and other "world community" will have a reason to go to war against us.
And nuclear weapons are far from a panacea, and it will be hot at the epicenter, but 300 meters from it is already tolerable.
Pakistan did not start a nuclear war with India only because the Indians concentrated a large number of tanks near the border and if Pakistan launched a nuclear strike, two hours later, the Indian tanks would storm Islamabad

[Maks winter]

And given the fact that the Armed Forces of Ukraine constantly keep 1 million soldiers in the cage

...
do you really think so, or do you have some kind of irrefutable information ??? where so much? - I'm embarrassed to ask)

[Maks winter]

Prigozhin says that the 404 pulled about 80t. to Artemovsk, and about 200t. they have a reserve. I trust him more than your words. the more the figure is more or less true.

[Mikhail Drabkin]

"It will be an extremely difficult task."

—-Streamlined, for all cases of the result of battles. I didn’t say that the Armed Forces of Ukraine risk disaster in case of failure - this is the key for me ...

—-The objective of the offensive is to isolate the Crimea and transfer the war to the Crimea. It will begin to saturate the air defense, with an objective point attack by HIMARS on the infrastructure of the Crimea, probably including Sevastopol. From several directions. In the areas of neutralization C300 ... - bomber aircraft, accompanied by fighters ... Clearing the direction of the main attack with these means (? Melitopol?). Probably the destruction of the Crimean Bridge.

—-The offensive will not be identified as the main offensive at first. After the suppression of air defense - an offensive by armored forces with the aim of a quick breakthrough to the Sea of ​​\uXNUMXb\uXNUMXbAzov .. Mariupol ... NATO headquarters take part in planning ...

—-The task of Russia is to prevent the suppression of air defense, to keep the Crimeans from fleeing, to break the armored forces either until the barriers are broken, or to keep them in reserve positions, to destroy HIMARS everywhere, to prevent the flow of weapons and combat forces to continue the offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Use APU errors.

HIMARS attack on Crimean infrastructure, probably including Sevastopol

I’m embarrassed to ask, where can you hit Himarsami on Sevastopol from? From Kherson, if straight from the bank of the Dnieper, even to Armyansk, more than a hundred kilometers, and almost 250 to Sevastopol.
If the blood-warriors could shoot Himarsmi at such a range, they would have done it a long time ago.

Quote: Mikhail Drabkin

bomber aircraft, escorted by fighters

SHIELD? What other bomber aircraft escorted by fighters? Even the promised tanks have not yet arrived in Ukraine, and you have already provided the sheltered military with full-fledged aviation.

finally kill more Russians before finally falling apart and disappearing

the usual logic of the behavior of classical imperialists is to stay on top at any cost ..

[multicam]

Is he trying to create a skeptical attitude towards the counteroffensive in the General Staff of the Russian Federation in this way ??

[estate]

create a skeptical attitude towards the counteroffensive in the General Staff of the Russian Federation

Americans are masters of psychological sabotage - they will throw in and analyze the reaction ...

[Lt. Air Force stock]

Well, the general cannot directly say that this is impossible, so he is trying to express himself politically correct like this.

[Trapp1st]

Well, the general can't directly say

What should he tell you directly? Our enemy is cunning and smart, he pours misinformation through the media into his ears. Mark Milley is more than worthy to represent the warrior caste.

better to be overdressed than underdressed

the ideal option is to respond adequately ... in conditions of uncertainty - to overdo it a little, but without fanaticism ...

[Edik]

The general added that many consider the conflict to be on hold, but he personally does not think so.

The general understands that the world is changing before our eyes and there can be no talk of freezing the conflict. Everything is just beginning.

It turns out some kind of strange general, don't you think? Judging by the position of the chairman of the joint committee of the chiefs of staff, this pretzel is directly involved in the development of the plan for the upcoming Banderlog counteroffensive, because. directly listens to Zaluzhny's reports on the state of affairs at the front. However, at the same time, he publicly expresses uncertainty about the success of the operation, which calls into question the competence of the structure he leads.
This Millie is stirring up something, or is trying to bring our side into a state of relaxation, or is already insured trying to shift the responsibility for the impending failure to the performer, that is, to the banderlogs.

1. Throwing dust in the eyes and pushing misinformation.

I think it's one and the other.
He received an order and carries it out to the best of his ability.
War has always been and is the art of deception.
And he doubts not in vain about the victory over Russia.

a hot armed conflict is always accompanied by an information struggle, and this Millie drills in such a way as to mislead, not clarify ..

[Jsem_CZEKO68]

Ne Marku.., platí tvůj bod číslo jedna, je to zcela nemožné porazit Rusko!

[Jsem_CZEKO68]

No Mark .., apply your number one point, it is absolutely impossible to defeat Russia!

Of course. Unlike the Latin alphabet. We have plans for 6 letters more))

But they keep trying.
Apparently it's time for planet Earth to reset to zero, radioactivity will push mutations and maybe it will be better.

It would be better to say when, and in what directions. Well, thanks for the uranium, of course, we will put you second in line for this, after the British.

[Andrey Moskvin]

I doubt that the Britons are sending these shells without a go-ahead from the States. Radish horseradish is not sweeter.

[Ozark]

General Milley is an indecisive coward and a traitor who is swayed by political winds. Lots of Americans feel that this conflict is a territorial dispute that we have no business being involved in. I can only speculate as to why we're not killing Nazi's, but seem to be propping them up. My beloved Uncle was a paratrooper in the war, and spent a significant amount of time in Europe chasing Nazi's, and retired 5th Special Forces. He would vomit if he were alive today. I cannot believe how our world has changed.

[glock-17]

Who plans offensive operations with great doubts about success? We can say that a big offensive is planned with high expectations, most likely in the direction of Melitopol.

[estate]

a large offensive is planned with high expectations, most likely in the direction of Melitopol

there these faces are washing ...

[tralflot1832]

"Comrade" Milli knows a lot more than we do. First: how many SSBNs of Russia are at the berths. When there is not one submarine that is out of schedule, the United States begins to persistently look for it. but this is not accurate) "Zircon bearer" That's why, he went around Africa? And in order to freely enter from the rear. Suez is not the place to roam there. Now he is at gunpoint, the Persian Gulf, but most importantly - the US strategic base Diego - Garcia. Do you think Gorshkov goes only with the Kama tanker? Our south is partially closed. US satellite intelligence will not give exact information where we have missile brigades. And in general, when the chief of staff is allowed to speak, this is not just like that. Recently, the Americans are the first to call when they are in a stupor and do not know what to expect from us.

[Vladimirovich_7]

Honestly, this counteroffensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is starting to piss me off. It's more of a psychological attack. All tickets sold out, popcorn bought. We will see how the Armed Forces of Ukraine will advance in orderly rows. Buy caps :)

[ozon34rus]

The enemy should not be underestimated. It is better to prepare for the worst if it will be easier later ..

[kakvastam]

War is the art of the possible, just like politics.
Resources and goals should be evaluated, not the statements of individuals.
So far, the Ukrainian command looks more responsible for its words than ours.
With the beginning of the autumn offensive, they did not deceive, and probably will not let them down in the spring either.
Hopefully, their impact will not be as unexpected as the snowfalls every winter.

[75 Sergey]

This bastard says that Ukroreykha would be allocated the most - supposedly they gave little!

[Menshoff_D_V]

I wonder when it will blaze in Africa, South America and Europe. That's when it will be clear how from Ukraine, the weapons of the brook spilled into the hotbeds of tension. Already, the Saudis are proving that the ammunition in Yemen is from Ukraine. hello old buffet

[opposite28]

Mark Milley on the probability of success of the UAF counter-offensive:

If this is not completely impossible, then it is extremely difficult. If we talk about the probability (success), then I think it is not high.

The closer the US presidential election is, the more clearly optimism is heard in the mood of the American generals, more sober views are observed in assessing the situation that has developed in the Ukrainian theater of operations, the scenario of evidence of which dementia cannot predict.

[Kok_Ivanov]

Are you serious about sobriety?
There is a thirst for profit and optimism only from the anticipation of the coming profit, and the sobriety of the mind is now out of fashion ...

[Alexey G]

Mark don't go to Russia! There are evil Russians! You have already fooled them once and gave them shitocracy and impoverishment!
We will not step on this for the second time! Go home, Mark, to your wife and grandchildren. Save your family and US Marines. You will not leave Russia alive and you will lose your homeland! And so live another 2 years of retirement. USA is no longer a super power Mark! No. Just power, but not great.
Russia, China and Iran together Mark. And then you and your friends will not shine Marco!
Ukraine is our business Mark is not yours, you crawled here in vain! Each Leopard, Challenger and Abrams will receive a bouquet of Chrysanthemums in the side and in the tail! You will be hurt! Save honor!

[Suhoy]

Yes, he does not collect to us, he has a conditional Bogdan & Co. for this.

[estate]

We will not step on this for the second time!

eternal friendship has already been sold .. now what?

[Kaufman]

It is felt that they think, plan, everyone weighs and evaluates the risks. They hold staff games, identify weak areas, and strengthen them. Grind.
I think it is necessary to take the upcoming events more than seriously.

[JonnyT]

So Millie is one of the sane US generals, the grandfather of the old school and thinks in terms of the Cold War.
The US General Staff is well aware that the military potential of the Russian Federation exceeds the Ukrainian one (as well as military assistance from the EU and the USA) by several times.
However, the Americans think "military categories" and we have a "special operation"

NATO, even the same Poland, has no desire to get into this conflict, so to speak, with its head, and here it doesn’t matter if we use tactical nuclear weapons or strategic nuclear weapons against Ukraine. The non-use of nuclear weapons is the unwillingness of GDP to go down in history in this capacity. Although, who knows what the General Staff advises him there and what they agreed with Xi behind the scenes.

NATO, even Poland, has no desire to get into this conflict

in this case, the exchange of vigorous loaves is INEVITABLE ...
