Learned from mistakes: the Russian Federation plans to slow down the offensive of the Armed Forces - WP

The occupiers were dug for months to delay the offensive of the Armed Forces as long as possible. They hope that Western enthusiasm will disappear, so they are ready for heavy losses. Three months later, Russia was able to partially retain their position thanks to the experience of past mistakes. About it reports Washington Post. Russia has restored the destroyed units and brought new units to the front.

Also from the major attacks of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation went to defense on highly fortified front lines. Despite significant losses, Moscow is ready to dig and wait for a long time until the determination decreases in the West. The author believes that a relatively well -ordered defense marks the return to the ancient Russian military doctrine.

At the same time, Ukrainian troops have limited success in trying to cut the Russian troops and deprive them of the so -called land corridor with occupied Crimea. The actions of the Russian army in the Kupjansk direction are part of the defense strategy. Step to prevent the Armed Forces from fully focusing on the south.

Karolina Hird, analytics at the Institute of War with the Russian Federation, says that the Southern military district of the Russian Federation was able to take on the main responsibility for the defense of the occupied south of Ukraine. At the beginning of a full -scale invasion of his main forces were in the reserve, and now they are in battles. Before that, they dug for months. The return to the doctrine implies the fact that the occupation troops in Zaporozhye have not succeeded in the year.

Instead, they built and built multi -level fortifications. This approach focuses on preparing for defense operations for fear of attack from the West. "Preparation of this kind of defensive positions is what commanders understand and have killed themselves since the cadet's time," said Russian Dara Masicot Military Analytics of the American Brain Center Rand Corp. The focus is on the mine.

The Russian Federation has also increased artillery units that can identify goals and attack them in minutes, the authors say. However, there are also signs of a lack of resources in the Russian Federation. James Rand of Janes's private intelligence company says the Russian Federation can arrange attacks at a platoon level: 3 tanks and several dozen soldiers. Such a strategy is justified, but may indicate a shortage of resources.

"They are very lacking armored vehicles that can be deployed," the Rand said. Also, after the events with Wagner PEC, there is still a noticeable confusion in the Russian command. Russia may also be prepared for the fact that entire units will lose combat capability in order for the West to lose enthusiasm and cease to support Ukraine.
