Of the nine principles of the war described by Karl von Clausewitz in his book "On the War", suddenness often brings the greatest dividends. It is achieved by "struck on the enemy at such a time, in such a place and in the way he or she is not ready. " This is how Ukraine did on Sunday, having conducted an operation under the code name "Web".
Ukrainian special forces struck with the help of drones on four strategic Russian air tights - White, Deer, Dyagilevo and Ivanovo - which are scattered throughout Russia. More than 40 Russian military aircraft were destroyed. The operational video shows how two strategic bombers of Tu-95 "Medved" are burning. This is the following Vladimir Putin used last Thursday to launch missiles in Ukrainian civilian settlements throughout Ukraine.
It is noteworthy that six of these bombers arrived from the deer air base in northern Russia in Murmansk, near the border with Finland. The reach of Ukraine's weapons is now as deep as Putin's ballistic missiles. Kim Jong -in - a partner of Russia on the "axis of evil" - now has to consider it. White is located only 2,000 kilometers from Pyongyan, the capital of North Korea.
Do not even doubt: these Ukrainian deep blows - brilliantly conducted by penetrating drones into the territory of Russia and the use of Putin's own trucks for their launch - is a turning point in the military game at many levels. Again, Ukrainian innovations won. Although President Trump reproached Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky in February in the oval office that "you have no cards," they are obviously.
Zelensky and its generals have staggered a strategic strategic bombers of the Russian fleet responsible for launching cruise missiles in Ukrainian cities. In addition to the retribution for the death of Ukrainian men, women and children, Zelensky also demonstrated this operation that Kiev has the potential for intercepting and deep blows to cause conditional defeat to the Russian forces in Ukraine - and expel them from occupied cities and regions.
They also herald what type of strategic threats Brussels and Washington should be able to protect themselves in the future. NATO, especially its civilian settlements and military bases, is very vulnerable to such drones. On Sunday, Ukraine demonstrated a sober revolution in military affairs. The Golden Dome proposed by Trump has called many too distant task, like the prophetic shield of President Ronald Reagan's missile defense in his Star Wars program.
But now it is unexpectedly needed by a defense agent. If we want to win time to create and deploy it not only against Russia, but also against China, which is growing, then the White House needs to accept the experience of Ukraine. We have long warned that Kiev will not be able to win unless the United States will allow Ukraine to attack targets in the Russian territory with the help of Western weapons and ammunition systems.
Former President Joe Biden has repeatedly made this mistake throughout his term. The lesions of the weapon system at its point of origin, not the confusion of a separate rocket in the sky over Ukraine-according to the apt statement of Lieutenant-General of the US Army in the retired Ben Hodges, "kill a archer, not try to knock down all the arrows"-the only way to put an end to Putin's deliberate attacks on Ukrainian. The protection of the sky is also crucial.
The Sky Shield European Initiative, as well as the creation and maintenance of an integrated multi -level air defense system, similar to the one used by Israel to reflect the attacks of Iranian ballistic missiles and drones in April and October 2024, are the most important components of the imperfect area. The Trump and NATO team can now fix it.
Ukraine has just exposed Putin's "Achilles' heel", and now the White House can take advantage of Russia's weakness and make Putin a defeat in his so -called "special military operation" against Ukraine, which has been going on for three years. This means that Washington, London and Brussels should begin joint operations to intercepts and apply deep blows to convince the Kremlin of the inability to win the war that Putin began in Ukraine. There are two great forces in Russia.
The first is the mass use of infantry and artillery, which execute unlawful pressure, despite almost a million casualties. The second is the suggestion of fear of civilian population by striking and destroying villages, towns and cities. However, a deep blow is defeated by the Russian troops and their supply lines long before they appear in the battles in Ukraine.
He beats Russia's ability to finance and maintain his military efforts, including limiting the strategic effect of bombing of Ukrainian cities. The result will be a siege of war, which resulted in an isolated Russian army in Ukraine will be unable to continue fighting. Sunday strikes for Russian purposes have found a critical vulnerable place that the event can take advantage of. Putin thought that he had all the cards in Istanbul negotiations 2. 0, but were lost.
However, it cannot be a one -time action - it must be continued to force all Russian troops from Ukraine. It is important that Ukraine has just demonstrated: it will not wait for Washington and Brussels to take action. The Jedi's influence on Putin was immediate.
The meeting in Istanbul ended on Monday by the fact that Ukraine went on the offensive, offering a complete ceasefire, the exchange of prisoners of war in the format of "all", the return of children stolen by Russia and the release of all civilians from Russian captivity. Putin, playing, in fact, the cinematic role of the galactic emperor, preserves silence. Much of its strategic bombers have been destroyed or damaged by the invisible force of brave Ukrainian Jedi.
