Sellest rünnakust akf-id siis eile kirjutasid, et keegi tuleks kohtu alla anda, ma saan aru? Tom soovib allpool sama ja peab kokkuvõttes põhjuseks, et kiiresti suurenevale sõjaväele polnud pädevaid ohvitsere lihtsalt kuskilt võtta ning sellises olukorras sama auastme puhul kõrgema ea või varasema kogemuse eelistamine on viga.One way or the other, the lead company of the 118th run into two Russian fortifications and stopped almost atop of them, while still mounted on its vehicles. That with stopping was a bad idea then hardly that the troops started exiting the vehicles, they’ve been hit by ATGMs of the 1430th MRR, 45th Spetsnaz and the 810th Naval Infantry Brigade - all still entrenched ‘on that hill above Robotyne’ - plus by RPG-29s of the entrenched Russian infantry in front of them, and then Lancets….
Result: 4-5 knocked out T-72s, some 13-15 BMPs and BTRs, and almost the entire company either killed, wounded, or captured (apparently including the Major in command of that attack). That’s what the Russian PRBS-machinery then converted into ‘attack by 100 tanks of which 50 were destroyed’…
Sure, immediately after, the 47th Mech then cleared that hill, collapsing the 1430th MRR, and driving its and the survivors of the Spetsnaz and the 810th Naval Infantry back to Novoprokopivka. Moreover, on the eastern flank of that attack, the 15th Kara-Dag and the Azov NG Brigade then hit the 70th MRR in and around Novopokrovka so hard, its survivors run away to Verbove to complain about its incompetent CO.
But, because of the losses of the 118th Mech, it was a pyrrhic victory… I’ll analyse and discuss this further below.
On the contrary: in such a situation one must expect the incompetence and communication failures (plus resulting intrigues) almost everywhere one goes – which, I guess, is also the reason why the ZSU has no divisional-level of command and organisation: a small number of experienced generals (see: those in charge of five major territorial commands) is, essentially, running lots of inexperienced colonels, lieutenant-colonels, majors, and captains appointed to command a large number of newly-established brigades, battalions, and companies.
Only one thing is sure: appointing people just because they are older, or had some sort of military training in the past, or higher civilian education, or similar reasons is, definitely, the wrong way. Pick the youngsters who excel: they’re eager to exploit the chance and demonstrate their skills – which they are also quicker to obtain. And they have far more stamina in doing that than any middle-agers: whenever in doubt, mind that Alexander the Great ‘conquered the (known, to the Hellenes) World’ at an age of 18-23.
Juhtum on loomulikult väga halb, aga kas sobiv üldistusteks?

Minu meelest Ukraina enda kommunikatsioon on siin kohal ka vale. Budanov, Reznikov ja mõned teised tippametnikud tihtipeale esinevad mingite täiesti utoopiliste tähtaegadega (a la Krimmi piirini pidid jõudma 2022 jõulud, Krimm vabaks 2023 suvi jne), et millal on kogu Ukraina orkidest vabastatud. Need hõisked võetakse iga kord suurte Lääne meediamajade poolt üles ja saavad suurt kõlapinda, mis võib tekitada tunde, et sõda on kohe-kohe lõppemas ja Ukrainas kõik lilleline. Reaalsus on paraku teine. Väga raske on.Chupacabra kirjutas: ↑31 Juul, 2023 12:16
Läänes aga on juba väsimuse märke näha. Ja kuna Lääs arvab, et kohe-kohe saab läbi, siis pole tehtud ettevalmistusi pika sõja pidamiseks.
Kas just üldistuseks aga sõnum just lõuna suunal toimuvuga.
