American TV channel: The strategic goal of the spring counteroffensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is the elimination of the land corridor to the Crimea

The spring large-scale counteroffensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine will nevertheless take place, Kyiv intends to radically change the balance of power on the battlefield and achieve an intermediate victory over the Russian army. The most likely direction of the strike is Zaporozhye, CNN reports with reference to Ukrainian intelligence.

According to the American TV channel, Kyiv intends to cut and eliminate the land corridor between Crimea and the Russian border, reaching the Sea of ​​Azov. This is the main strategic goal of the spring counteroffensive. Zelensky’s future plans are to “liberate” Crimea, but Ukraine must make this decision on its own; in the West, not everyone supports the use of force with the peninsula, as this means an even greater escalation of the conflict.

It is planned to strike south in the direction of Melitopol and in the regions of Kherson adjacent to the Crimea

- writes CNN

Earlier, Ukrainian sources reported that the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, together with the Pentagon, was developing a plan for a counteroffensive into Crimea. According to the plan, the offensive will be carried out in two stages. As conceived by the Americans, and they play the first role in planning, at the first stage it will be necessary to carry out two operations: one ground operation with the task of taking Tokmak and Vasilyevka before attacking Melitopol, and an amphibious assault with the crossing of the Dnieper to Golaya Pristan, Staraya and Novaya Kakhovka, Kamenka and Energodar before the attack on Armyansk and Genichesk.

The second stage is planned to begin 10 days after the capture of the main bridgeheads on the left bank of the Dnieper, it will consist in reaching the Sea of ​​Azov and capturing Melitopol, Genichesk and Armyansk. The best time to start the whole operation is the first half of April.

Definitely don't underestimate them.

It is absolutely necessary to destroy their reserves in the rear or in the third echelon. But unfortunately, our highly educated commanders prefer frontal attacks and do not even try to use tanks and aircraft for their intended purpose.

[Ivan Ivanov]

Regarding the reserves in the rear, Putin explained yesterday: "That's how they bring them in at night, they hide them." In conjunction with the usual "we were counting on a peaceful outcome," it is difficult to comment on this, for such an answer the good authorities are expelled by the evening, without a golden parachute. At the same time, the question about bridges and tunnels was never asked for some reason.

[Al manah]

Putin explained yesterday: "this is how they take it at night, hide it"

Indeed, where would night vision devices come from on military satellites?

[Egeny]

I consider it unlikely that the Ukrainians will break through to Mariupol, but if this happens, then the price for our General Staff and "highly qualified" commanders is zero

[Cicerist98]

@vbi007: "But unfortunately, our highly educated superiors prefer frontal attacks and do not even try to use tanks and aircraft for their intended purpose."

In my opinion, these people can't be so stupid as not to be able to think of such things that even a moderately intelligent 10 or 11-year-old could easily surmise; you do not need "high education" for this. Hence, at least some partial treason and sabotage are involved.

[Egeny]

I consider it unlikely that crests will break through to Mariupol, but if this happens, then the price for our General Staff and "highly qualified" commanders is zero

[AAK]

Only the faces mentioned by Lavrov constantly laugh without stopping, I believe that the first two reasons will be more than enough for our command

[Maz]

As long as they get a zilch, not a counteroffensive. It's one thing to tear up an unprepared defense, but here there are several echelons, prepared positions. Targeted fields and forests, minefields. Aviation. The whole sky is ours. In terms of artillery, we have priority in Russia, in terms of tanks, priority, in terms of shells too. How are they going to attack, suicide or what? Although, according to recent events, it is quite possible that this is so. And their place is in the cemetery, or, as it seems, they are in tsvyntari .....

[incognoto]

you apparently don’t follow the news .. they have assembled a strong fist of 200 - 400 thousand with Western weapons

[alovrov]

What is our sky? Aviation does not work, the maximum for which is enough nurses from a roll-up and air defense assistance. Consider that there is no aviation.

[nik-mazur]

Quote: alovrov

What sky is ours

You made such a show off, as if the sky is Ukrainian and Ukrainian aviation is raging in the air, like the Luftwaffe in the forty-first ...

[alovrov]

In general, the ferocity of the Luftwaffe in 41 is somewhat exaggerated. Our aviation resisted and itself worked well in certain areas.
Now the situation is about the same. Excluding, of course, strategists with their generally useless CR.

[nik-mazur]

Quote: alovrov

Actually, the ferocity of the Luftwaffe at 41 is somewhat exaggerated

That did not interfere with the complete German air supremacy.
Therefore, the fact that our aviation does not have dominance and does not work is also an exaggeration. What is not small.

[alovrov]

Complete air supremacy is Yugoslavia, Iraq or Afghanistan. The Germans in 41 did not have complete air supremacy, just as ours did not have it in 45.
If aviation cannot even fly close to the front line, cannot hang on communications, cannot fly over crowded places and over strategic objects - it does not fulfill its main combat mission. Work as air defense, this is air defense. Our aviation cannot solve the main task now.

[nik-mazur]

Quote: alovrov

Complete air supremacy is

Learn the materiel: air supremacy is not Yugoslavia, but “the decisive superiority of the aviation of one of the belligerents in the airspace in the theater of operations (theater of war).
In terms of scale, "air supremacy" can be strategic, operational and tactical.
Although, of course, no one can forbid you to use some of your own definitions that allow you to think that Russian aviation does not have decisive air superiority.

Quote: alovrov

If aviation cannot even fly close to the front line

You are confusing, cannot and does not want to not suffer losses, since minimizing losses is one of the main conditions for a war in Ukraine ...

[alovrov]

There is no need to quote the wiki here. The essence of this does not change. If aviation does not want to suffer losses in a war, then what is the point of this aviation. You probably think that the infantry really wants to take losses. Or, not by night, be remembered, the fleet.
Read for yourself what you wrote. It's funny.

[nik-mazur]

Quote: alovrov

No need to quote the wiki here

No need to come up with your own definitions of what air supremacy is ...

[Andrei Nikolaevich]

nik mazur, judging by the comment, do you have a military education? I personally don't. But I am categorically against various "Stalinist blows", I hope that our army is fighting with the mind and not with slogans.

[kill the fascist]

At the expense of aviation, it turned out funny. One hope for the planners is long-range high-precision bombs. And so the whole shooting of our aircraft from a pitch-up. Underestimating the enemy is one of the most serious mistakes in war. The beginning of the NWO is a vivid confirmation of this.

[nik-mazur]

Quote: Kill the fascist

At the expense of aviation, it turned out funny. One hope for planners - long-range high-precision bombs

Another thing is funny: in fact, the same people admire American or Israeli aviation, which strikes without entering the air defense coverage area, using missiles and such a miracle as high-precision planning bombs, and at the same time, they vilify Russian aviation, which uses missiles and planning bombs, instead of bombarding the enemy with antediluvian free-falling bombs. It’s even funnier that when our aviation in Syria used this same cast iron, the same people spoke about our backwardness and ridiculed the Hephaestus aiming system.

[alovrov]

Israeli aviation operates in the air defense zone in Syria. Only it is very difficult to shoot them down, because they use the terrain wisely. Americans in Yugoslavia and Iraq also worked in the air defense zone, whatever it was. Or maybe tell about Vietnam? More than 5 thousand lost aircraft and turntables during the conflict.

[nik-mazur]

Quote: alovrov

Israeli aviation operates in the air defense zone in Syria

No need for la-la - Israeli aircraft operate exclusively from Lebanese airspace, where Syrian air defense cannot shoot them down for political reasons.

Quote: alovrov

Americans in Yugoslavia and Iraq also worked in the air defense zone, whatever it was

Yeah, but there was practically no air defense.
Vietnam here, in general, what side? And what does all this verbiage of yours have to do with the definition of air dominance?

[vbi007]

Tanks are used as self-propelled guns. Artillery works singly, there are no fire shafts, the destruction of single strongholds is still the basis of its work. Aviation is applied piece by piece. Look at the picture on the TV when a single gun is working. How many craters in front of the enemy's trenches, and these are uselessly spent shells. The landing force and the marines are used as ordinary motorized rifles, instead of working behind enemy lines. Something similar to the tactics of the First World War.

[nik-mazur]

Quote from: vbi007

Something similar to the tactics of the first world

A real war does not have to meet your expectations after watching Hollywood films about modern warfare...

[Ivan Ivanov]

There is no offensive yet, but the front is still standing, although for almost two months they have been talking about our offensive, that is. the number is obviously insufficient, the grouping is not growing, and it is not clear what plans the authorities have in this regard. Again, no one expected that they would catch up with meat and weapons?

[Al manah]

The whole sky is ours.

It’s good that their air defense has ended and they are not being brought new ones.

According to art, we have priority in Russia,

It's good that they don't carry art.

by tanks priority

It's good that we have a lot of old tanks against a small number of new ones. The fact that one new tank will destroy many old ones, you can't give a damn.

[Hitriy Zhuk]

Kherson, on the other hand, was stupidly abandoned, there’s no way to win here, by any means.

[Bulrumeb]

Kherson, no matter what they say, was left for some political reasons, and not for military reasons.

[Rosemary]

Quote: Bulrumeb

Kherson, no matter what they say, was left for some political reasons, and not for military reasons.

One can guess and argue for what reasons they left Kherson, but as the British say, "The most objective thing in football is the score on the scoreboard."

[Ivan Ivanov]

Kherson, no matter what they say, was left for some political reasons, and not for military reasons.

Yes, many people talk about this, while it is interesting, what are the "political reasons", what is the benefit?

[Bulrumeb]

And who will tell them to us? They did not come out with a snout ... It was said for us - supply difficulties and that's it.

[ugos]

This exit showed that we have no plans for Nikalaev and Odessa, also a kind of ''good will''.

[Paul Siebert]

Will xoxly be able to counterattack?
They certainly can.
Will they be able to reach the Sea of ​​Azov?
Probably yes...
And then what?
Will Russia wipe itself out, raise its paws up and ask for negotiations on xoxlov terms?
It seems to me that this is not so ... This will cause powerful retaliatory strikes, the next wave of mobilization and ... strikes on Bankova (?)
Or do the forelocks think in terms of today?

[parabyd]

Now, everyone likes to remember the Kharkov counter-offensive, as if completely unaware of the fact that the territories lost by Russia are already beginning to slowly return back. Every day, cutting off a piece of the Great Peremoga ...

It is necessary not only to capture, but also to keep

[Uprun]

So let's see, in fact, 3 weeks separate from the time "H", they will not fly by noticeably. Wangyu that there will be many transfers, the second half of April, the first half of May, the second half of May, the first half of 2023, etc.

[Leonidych]

Wait and see. And we need to prepare to repel this offensive so that regrouping does not happen again. Well, I think that this time there will be no back. Victory will be ours. We have to break their back.

[fima_tut]

By the autumn they will go, so that later there will be no counteroffensive.

[rotmistr60]

reports CNN with reference to Ukrainian intelligence.

They live happily - Ukrainian intelligence shares information with CNN, reveals the strategic plans of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and the American media happily brings this to their viewers. Before that, the Ukrainian generals race to tell how and where they will attack, what to "liberate" and with what forces.

[blackGRAIL]

It's just so obvious that even the cleaners are aware of the plans of the Armed Forces of Ukraine for the spring/summer offensive. This is the only meaningful direction of impact. And the accumulation of reserves is impossible to hide.

Last summer, even the cleaners were aware of the plans of the Ukrainian Armed Forces for an offensive near Kherson, but the Armed Forces of Ukraine struck in the Kharkiv region instead.

[blackGRAIL]

You apparently overslept in the den of the battles in the Kherson direction, which began on August 29 (the Kharkov battles began on September 6). The fact that the direction of the strike will not be the same now is also obvious.

[BMP-2]

The response move, I think, should be a plan to eliminate the land corridor from Ukraine to Europe.

[Ivan Ivanov]

The most reasonable way out, it is not clear who is minus it.

[Andrei Nikolaevich]

I read the article. I read the comments.. The mood is zero. There was only one hope - for the army. And so it is in our history, always. Only evil takes for this "fraternal people" How much nasty things they were forgiven for. Mazepa, Khatyn, OUN... But when will it end?!

[dnestr74]

When will they break the RF Armed Forces so that they don’t even think about offensives?

[Mouse]

spring counteroffensive

spring exacerbation?

[rocket757]

American TV channel: The strategic goal of the spring counteroffensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is the elimination of the land corridor to the Crimea

TOO MUCH TALK and from all sides. Although it is the military, on most sides, that is kept within the permissible, almost reasonable....only Svidomo are waging an "enchanting" PR war, this is, in addition to terror, against the civilian population.

[blackGRAIL]

Taking into account the fact that they are provided with weapons and ammunition from outside, this is the only correct and correct behavior. PR and marketing.

[rocket757]

PR by ferry, but sponsors... you won't be full of talk alone. They can also ask for bills.
In general, we are waiting.

[kill the fascist]

The fact that bloomers are preparing an offensive is for "don't go to the grandmother." But the direction of the strike ... no one has yet canceled the disinformation of the enemy. If once again they miss the offensive and do not take countermeasures, then the incompetence of the leadership of the RF Ministry of Defense will be obvious and blatant. Mobilization after a rollback will only be a confirmation of incompetence.

[vbi007]

We (I mean those present) do not have complete data on the state of the enemy and our Armed Forces, we do not have intelligence data on the deployment of enemy troops and their equipment with weapons and military equipment. If the command has the fullness of all this information and does not respond, then this is a failure (possibly another). I think that we need to be patient and give an assessment after the actions of the enemy and, possibly, our preventive strikes in order to disrupt the plans of the enemy. Time will tell, but the success of the enemy will already be accepted by the people of Russia as a fact of the worthlessness of managers at all levels.

[alovrov]

The chances of the success of the spring offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are extremely high. According to the current situation, nothing can oppose the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation. A static defense with troops stretched out in a line breaks through in the first day, regardless of losses, with powerful support from artillery, rocket launchers and aviation. Further, the Armed Forces of Ukraine are moving on to maneuver warfare, in which the Russian Defense Ministry is completely incapable of the word.
Two blows - auxiliary to the encirclement of Wagner near Artemovsk and the main one to Melitopol, the matter of the next three weeks. Of course, the strike will be sudden and strong, there are no prerequisites for stopping it, since there are neither mobile reserves nor air support. But there is a leapfrog in command and constant clan graters. This is a real big help. Bandera.

[voice of reason]

what is it that makes you so hot? Three weeks left and we'll see. Who has a chance and who doesn't. And I think that you don’t know anything whether the RF Armed Forces have reserves or not. How are you supposed to know this? but that you drown confidently for the VFU is a fact noticeable to the naked eye. What makes you think that you are working out a throw-in about an offensive and without a chance of reflection. Of course, if this is a clear stuffing, then you should not give it any attention. something like this.

[alovrov]

stuffing about the attack? Seriously? So nothing will happen and the enemy runs/runs/runs? It’s really pleasing that there are both narrow-minded and incorrigible optimists in the world.

[parabyd]

What else is left for them? This is the last chance. They are all primitively the same, they believe in their white masters to the point of clouding their minds, completely ignoring the fact that the masters have plenty of failures.

Of the two autumn offensives, only Kharkov was successful. In Kherson, no matter how much they fought, they could not break through the defenses. Kremennaya could not be taken, the autumn offensive on Zaporozhye was not mastered. Again began to lose territory in the Donbass and Kharkov region...

And now, suddenly, raaaz, and everywhere they broke through the defense, but how did they enter the operational space, and how did they go ...

Well, there are people from our side who are already taking Odessa. The truth, as always, will be somewhere in the middle. It won't be easy, but it won't be a disaster either. Let's see.

The most important point is who is ready to fight longer. Spring, summer, autumn will pass. Who saves resources for the offensive, he will win

[Bulrumeb]

Kyiv intends to cut and liquidate the land corridor between Crimea and the Russian border, reaching the Sea of ​​Azov.

It would not be difficult, but then they will not break off.

[Kuziming]

Hello children! Today I will tell you a fairy tale about stupid Americans! These evil spirits do not know how to fight heroically at all, and are afraid of hand-to-hand combat. Instead of engaging in a fair and open fight, they take a piece of paper and a pencil and write down long and boring numbers, counting how many bombs, missiles, and cartridges they have.
And do you know, children, how they consider them?
They count in tons, and for some reason they count how many tons they can deliver daily.
Children, let's laugh at stupid Americans!
And these cowardly bastards count the amount of transport, fuel, and road capacity!
First at home, and then at the enemy.
Instead of practicing bayonet fighting techniques, they determine where the enemy has supply bottlenecks, warehouses, headquarters, communication stations, and fuel supplies.
And they are very harmful! They plan first to hit the supply lines, and consider how many more tons they can deliver to the place of their main attack.
And only when they get a tenfold advantage in these boring numbers, they begin to plan how and where they will shoot with their bad tanks and machine guns.

[ugos]

Don’t you think that all this is the draining of the SVO by the leadership of the Russian Federation, disguised as fierce resistance, and it began a week after the start of the operation, and continues to this day.
After all, it is clear to everyone that it is currently impossible to win with the forces that are at the disposal of the RF Ministry of Defense, it is even very difficult to protect the employed, and no action is being taken.
After the so-called "honorable" loss, it will be announced that it was not possible to fight against the entire West, but after the reformation of our army, we will certainly take revenge, remove a couple of generals, as it were, guilty of the defeat, but most importantly, the very top will remain in power.
The West, in gratitude for the surrender, will lift some sanctions, and everything will go on as before.
Well, it didn’t work out, didn’t shmogli .... it happens ....
