The head of Ukrainian intelligence,
in an interview with the Economist,

said that Ukraine has a chance to break
Russia's land corridor to Crimea before winter.

Ukraine is conducting offensives in small groups,
platoon-company level, often combined groups.

First, enemy units are mopped up with various
means of defeat, such as cluster munitions,

HIMARS and others. Then they release
the Kraken in the form of many small

assault groups, which liberate
the settlement or other point.

This tactic will allow the Ukrainian liberation
forces to advance despite changing weather

conditions and this winter will be different
from last winter in terms of combat dynamics.

The attackers can advance through a destroyed
village, it makes no difference to them whether

tanks can pass somewhere on the field or
not. After all, tanks are hardly ever used

for their intended purpose now either,
because of the high density of mines.

This brings us back not only to the words of the
head of intelligence, but also to the statements

of other Ukrainian leaders that the Ukrainian
offensive will not stop and will continue.

Does this mean that for a few more months the
Ukrainian armed forces will use these tactics?

Yes, but at some point all these minefields

have to end and the Ukrainians
will be able to use equipment.

Western military chiefs keep dreaming
of this big land maneuver. Probably,

and the Ukrainian generals would
not refuse, if the opportunity.

Imagine a situation when one or another combat
section of the enemy's front falls apart. And

you manage to withdraw tank and mechanized units
with the support of special forces and various

infantry and sabotage units like the Kraken. You
get an opportunity to get out on a highway that

is not mined, that is used for enemy logistics.
And due to the fact that the enemy forces are

defeated in this area and he can not build a new
line of defense, why not take advantage of this ?

But I will immediately bring a counterargument
- Russian aviation and helicopters.

At the same time, aviation and helicopters
did not really save the occupants in the

same Kharkiv operation because of the speed
of movement of mobile groups of the AFU.

That is, the enemy is not very good with target
designation and time. When the airplanes flew

to the mission, there were no Ukrainian
units there, they were already far ahead.

The arguments and outrages of Western
top military officers and their remarks

towards Ukraine, including various
Western analysts and observers are

now slowly changing. A big analytical
report came out recently where the tops

recognized that the Ukrainian command
is doing everything right, in fact.

It says that the situation in which Ukraine found
itself, any other Western army, if it had found

itself under such conditions, would have behaved
in exactly the same way, and maybe even worse.

That is, the AFU, not having
superiority in the air still

advances and suffer losses one to one and
even less than the Russians in defense.

But according to all the books it should be 1 to
3 in favor of the defending side. This shows that

the Ukrainian tactics are correct and there is
not a single reason why the offensive should stop.
