The Watchman On The Wall

The Watchman On The Wall
Eph 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Verse 13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) “Grand Kherson Offensive”: Lesson learned, Tactical Victories Can Contribute to Strategic Defeat



The Atlantic Council, the mouthpiece of NATO , stated that in Feb. 2022, when the war began, AFU had a total of 38 well trained infantry, armor and artillery brigades. The Russians have wiped out 27 of those AFU brigades or 71%!!!!!

 

I believe that if an army loses 10% of its core force it is ineffective on the battlefield.    

SITREP - Russian military operations in Ukraine for September 12, 2022

- Ukraine has committed what is left of its best troops and equipment to multiple and expensive offensives

- both around Kherson and in Kharkov, and rumors of offensives being prepared elsewhere;

- The Kherson offensive has failed, costing Ukraine multiple brigades’ worth of men and equipment with little territorial gain;

- The Kharkov offensive has cost Ukraine a large amount of men and equipment with significant territorial gains but failed to eliminate the Russian forces holding the region;

- Russia’s decision to withdraw from Kharkov conserves men and equipment for fighting later on and to be determined on Russian terms;

- There will be a significant strategic cost for Ukraine’s tactical gains - some of which are already being paid along the line of contact where Ukrainian lines have been weakened as Kiev cobbled together these offensive forces;

- There are significant parallels between this Ukrainian push and Germany’s failed Ardennes Offensive in 1944;

- Russia is targeting Ukrainian infrastructure including communication towers and power plants for the first time amid its military operations, signalling a possible escalation;
