The Armed Forces are trying to expand the bridgeheads on the left bank of the Dnieper - expert

To expand the bridgeheads and traffic towards the Crimean peninsula, resources - air defense systems, artillery systems, armored vehicles on the left bank - says Vladislav Seleznev. One of the options for reaching the occupied Crimea is to force the Dnieper from the right to the left bank in Kherson region, in order to further advance to the Armenian, located on the isthmus between Crimea.

This is a difficult task, because it is necessary to ship the heavy equipment necessary for a large -scale ground operation through the river. And also without the support of aviation can not do. About this focus for the article "Battle of Crimea - where the weaknesses of Russia and which weapons need Ukraine" said "a military expert, a former spokesman of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Vladislav Seleznev said.

"Currently, the Ukrainian army is trying to expand the bridgeheads on the left bank of the Dnieper. The depth, according to various estimates, is from three to eight kilometers. The bridgeheads are several: the area different sections of the left shore are our warriors. Not only marines but also units of border forces and territorial defense operate there.

But to expand the bridgeheads and traffic towards the Crimean peninsula, resources, air defense systems, artillery systems, armored vehicles on the left shore. In which way to move from right to left bank all these systems, provided that all four bridges that had previously connected the right and left bank of the Dnieper, from the autumn of 2022 were destroyed by the Russian army. Under such conditions What we can establish constant logistics can only be in one case-the ponon-bridge crossing.

But the distance between the shores in this part is about a thousand meters. " The expert says it is extremely difficult to engineer mission. "I say it as a specialist and a military engineer," he continues. "The second task: how to protect this crossing from the influence of enemy artillery and aviation? The enemy will obviously try to destroy it. In principle, there are options for solving this problem. Among them: to expand: to expand a bridgehead to a depth of up to 25 kilometers.

These are not done on the left bank of the artillery and armored vehicles. In addition, to protect the pontoon-bridge crossing from the impact of aviation you can have your own aviation. There are no official confirmations on specific dates when the Ukrainian army is joined by F16.
