Too much noise in the network because of some active events

in Zaporizhzhia region. Almost all Western media outlets have managed to make a mark,

proclaiming "It's started!", and the adherents of the "counteroffensive" cult exclaimed "Amen!

I have said more than once that a counter-offensive always consists of

different phases, and only the last one will be the big offensive that everybody is waiting for.

But that is not the phase that is being realized right now.

In fact, it was strange to see how everyone stirred up, using not official information,

but anything and everything from anywhere, with mediocre conclusions and dubious content.

But, most importantly, all this bedlam was arranged not in connection with the start of

the big offensive, but against the background of what is called a reconnaissance of the battle.

Moreover, such actions from the Ukrainian side are not uncommon,

and even more so in Zaporizhzhia region.

But the current actions of the Ukrainian side do have a difference.

This reconnaissance of combat was carried out not in a single instance,

but at several locations at once. The same "pearl necklace" I mentioned in the past videos. This

gave the impression of some large-scale action on the front. In turn, the scale is quite consistent

with the requirements of reconnaissance combat or operational reconnaissance.

Thanks to these actions, the Ukrainian command received enough information about the enemy,

which was forced to reveal its positions in a panic. He engaged the field arsenal and

began to move in the rear, thus giving away his targets, previously unknown.

And the autopsy went perfectly, although not without casualties on the Ukrainian side.

But in war there is never without losses, especially in the offensive.

Combat reconnaissance is a method of obtaining up-to-date information about the enemy,

the idea of which is to impose combat contact on him by specially trained units.

This method was widely used not only by the Soviet Union, but also by the United States during the

World War One. Each unit that participates in reconnaissance combat is well aware of the

risks that lie ahead and the objectives of such activities. So they are bowed down for

their dedication. But, these are the realities of war, which cannot be won without casualties.

The actions of the Ukrainian side at this time, within the framework of battle reconnaissance,

not only fully fulfilled their function, but also allowed them to take control

of a number of positions, liberated a number of locations from the occupants,

forced them to retreat, although this is not even the task of battle reconnaissance!

That is, were not only fulfilled tasks, but over-fulfilled.

Going beyond function is a rare occurrence.

And so while some continue to reflect on the footage of downed Ukrainian equipment,

others continue to do their job professionally, sometimes at the cost of their own lives.

This is the same footage that Russian propagandists are spreading,

trying to tell us about the failure of the counterattack.

From what we know, it was a column of one of the newly formed brigades.

There are a couple of dead, but most are alive or wounded. The photo shows a mine

clearance vehicle and a mine trawl, no one sent the column through a clear minefield.

Most likely, it was leading the column before the artillery started firing.

Again, as practice shows, the Russian side is trying to manipulate the data

and show allegedly huge failures on the part of the Ukrainian army.

But the scale they are trying to show does not correspond to reality.

What will happen next? It is hard to say, because no one knows anything. And the one who pretends to

know - even more so, knows nothing. The Ukrainian side does not make official statements and asks to

be silent, and the Russian side to believe - to deceive itself. So observe information hygiene,

patience and common sense are more important than ever. Ukraine will win!
