To pass the second line: why fighting near Zaporozhye is of great importance to the Armed Forces - an expert
This was told on September 25 by a military expert Colonel Petro Chernyk on the air of a telecommunication. The commander of the Tavriya troops of Brigadiy General Alexander Tarnavsky in an interview with CNN told about the promotion of defense forces on this section of the front. "On the left flank under Verbov we have a breakthrough, and we continue to move on, not as quickly as expected.
The main thing is not to lose this initiative, so as not to lose it in practice, in actions," the general said. In this regard, the expert noted that the Ukrainian forces are currently near the second line of defense of the Russians - the so -called "Surovikin line" and are fighting to enter the operational space in the direction of the Azov Sea. "Why it is important. While dry weather is, we have all the conditions to touch the Northern Azov.
And every liberated settlement brings this strategic goal closer," the colonel explained. At the same time, the enemy has fierce resistance, and for this purpose the Russians also have a sufficient amount of living force and technical means. But Chernik noted that the second line of Russian defense is somewhat easier than the first line, which was strongly replaced.
Further, the expert emphasized, there is a rear line of defense, after which, in addition to the fortified cities Tokmak and Melitopol, there are no serious fortifications in the Russians. "We hope to go to the Azov," Chernik summed up. Earlier it was reported that according to Roszma, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation began to form intelligence and assault brigades for storming fortifications and reconnaissance in the nearest rear of the enemy.
