Western media all as one are now talking about
the second phase of the Ukrainian defense

offensive, and everyone who is not lazy has
picked up these theses....

Although, the second phase of the offensive
has been underway since mid-June, and the

implication is most likely the third phase
- the breakthrough of the main line of defense.

But even here - miss...

To understand what and how it is more correctly
called and what is happening in general, a

little introductory information.

The first phase can and even correctly be
considered those actions that began in the

first days of June in the Zaporizhzhya and
Donetsk regions and which represented a reconnaissance

by combat.

Within the framework of these actions the
positions of Russian artillery of the second

line of defense were uncovered, warehouses
with ammunition, fuel and lubricants and other

objects were identified, the main logistic
routes were determined and the analysis of

the supply line and not only was carried out.

In mid-June, the process of breaking through
the supply line began.

In general, this process can be considered
the second phase of the offensive, when, after

the battle reconnaissance, a range of activities
to progressively reach the second line of

defense was deployed.

And, at present, this process is not yet complete.

Yes, the Ukrainian forces have driven a wedge
between Robotino and Verbove and have indeed

reached the main line of the enemy's defense,
but this is only in one area, in a certain

location.

Only after the flanks are equalized, the dominant
heights are occupied and the villages playing

the role of Forward Operating Base are liberated,
the 3rd phase will begin.

In fact, we can talk about the preparation
of the breakthrough of the second line of

defense when you have reached this line not
in one section, for example, a kilometer long,

but when you have created a convenient front
for the breakthrough and the appropriate conditions

to support this process.

For example, control of the same heights.

Therefore, someone in the West is rushing
things very much.

Either because of unprofessionalism or out
of malice.

After all, when the second phase of the offensive
is announced, everyone expects something new,

and when it does not happen, Russian propaganda
immediately turns on with the narrative "the

offensive has failed!".

There is no need to rush things, no one promised
to liberate Ukraine in 3 days.

Everything is going according to plan !

Now we can already summarize the results of
the second month of the offensive.

In July, the Ukrainian side continued to systematically
destroy enemy equipment, with an emphasis

on artillery and air defense, which are traditionally
placed in the second and third lines of defense.

And for the third month in a row, the indicators
of this work are showing records.

In terms of the number of artillery pieces
destroyed in July, the Ukrainians fell just

a little short of the absolute record and
the figure amounted to 677, the second for

the entire period of the full-scale invasion.

Overall, the pace of Russian artillery removal
is bringing the moment of acute compensation

crisis closer.

The number of destroyed MLRS demonstrated
an absolute record.

This was also due to the fact that the enemy
had to pull MLRS closer to the line of battle

because of losses in the artillery, but after
a sharp jump in losses, they abandoned this

idea.

The air defense also showed an absolute record
in July and it is not surprising.

Clearing the rear zone of air defense is now
no less of a priority than clearing artillery.

At the same time, compensation of air defense
is a problematic process and the loss of each

unit, in the current conditions, is conditionally
irretrievable.

Thus, 3 months of increased load on compensation
processes within the framework of record destruction

of equipment, as well as growing logistical
problems, lead to a progressive loss of combat

effectiveness of Russian troops on certain
bridgeheads.

And we continue to watch and think, where
will the first line break?
