Explosive tactics: Armed Forces are preparing to the Russians "storm in the desert" in the Crimea and in the east - the media
The probable tactics of the Armed Forces were described by the British tabloid The Sun after communicating with retired generals from the United States and the United Kingdom. "A new wave of troops on the front line is determined to defend their homeland. They train to deal with new weapons models," the authors of the material said.
The counter -offensive, according to experts, will be assembled by combat units of the Challenger 2, M1 Abrams and Leopard 2 combat tanks, as well as Stryker armored personnel carriers, Bradley and new artillery systems. Ukraine will achieve great success and focus on the final return of the Crimea, said former US troops in Europe, General Ben Hodges.
And the brigade general of the British army in the retired Ben Barry speaks of a future attack as a "Big Bang" to try to get out of the dead end, especially around Bakhmut. "The Armed Forces will be able to kill every Russian soldier within 200 miles of Bakhmut, but this will not change the strategic situation," the military added. Hodges is confident in the priority of Crimea's return. Kyiv knows that without the return of the peninsula, all Ukraine will never be safe, the ecenmaider said.
The counter -offensive of the Armed Forces on the Peninsula will focus on its isolation by separating the land bridge from the territories that are partially controlled by Russia in the south of Ukraine. "The task is to destroy this bridge and increase the number of precision weapons to impress targets and make the peninsula inaccessible to the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation," Hodges explained.
In his opinion, Russians in Crimea are expected to blow on air tanles, the Black Sea Fleet, Logistics and Team Centers. The Armed Forces will also select several places for attacks on the narrow front a few miles and breakthroughs through the fortified front lines, using tanks, motto -in infantry, engineers and artillery. "Aviation will help them cover up, and specials and guerrillas will act in the rear of Russia to prevent them from responding to the attack," the general said.
British Colonel Hemish de Bretton-Gordon compared a possible shock of the Armed Forces with the Storm Operation in the Desert. The Ukrainian forces, according to him, will go 200 miles into the rear of the Russian defense line with Blitzkrig. Colonel de Bretton-Gordon recalled the experience of an international coalition in Iraq. The troops on the M1 Abrams tanks managed to break through the "Saddam Line" in a few hours-defensive fortifications on the Iraqi-Kuvayt border of sand and concrete.
"The Storm Operation in the desert lasted only 100 hours. The army, led by American and British troops, turned the tanks and troops of Saddam into minced meat, they gave up," said de Bretton-Gordon. It is important to ensure the proper level of logistics for such a rapid blitzkrig until the Armed Forces advances far into the rear of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. "The Ukrainians are very cunning. I was amazed at how they act. We can teach little.
Obviously, we have taught them to use our tanks and artillery, but they are very impressive in teaching generals. They now have tanks and artillery for melee. I am sure that they will succeed, "the military continued. Samanth de Bendern's safety expert on Samanth and Eastern Europe does not agree that Crimea will become the main goal of Ukraine because they do not welcome the idea of liberation of the peninsula in the United States. The purpose of the attack will be the eastern direction.
Bender is sure of the need to support from the air for any Ukrainian offensive. "Whatever the plan of the offensive, Ukraine will never give up. They will fight the last person," the expert said. Recall that the head of Estonian intelligence Margo Grosberg called the possible date of counterattack of the Armed Forces. The liberation of the territories may start on May 9. According to the mayor of Melitopol Ivan Fedorov, the invaders are preparing for leaving the city.
