To displace the Armed Forces in the Kursk region of the Russian Federation requires 15-20 brigades that it does not have - NYT

American officials are convinced that Ukraine will not be able to keep the seized territories for a long time, and the more the territory it will try to seize in the West of the Russian Federation, the greater the risk of excessive expansion of its supply lines and air defense. It will be difficult for Russia to displace the Armed Forces from the captured territory of Kursk region. This will require at least 50,000 soldiers that will be difficult to gather. About it writes The New York Times.

The publication refers to US officials who claim that Russia needs from 15 to 20 brigades or at least 50,000 soldiers to displace the Armed Forces from the Russian territories that the Ukrainian soldiers occupied during an offensive in the Kursk region. According to The New York Times, now the army of the Russian Federation "and does not have" the required amount of forces in border areas, the publication notes.

At the same time, Ukraine estimated the New York Times in the operation of about 10 thousand soldiers. Frederick B. Hodges, retired Lieutenant General and US Army Example Commander in Europe, said that Ukraine's some success was the result of a "confusing and inefficient" structure of Russian military command and control, since two different national security structures are managed by Russia's military operations.

In the east of Ukraine, where the Armed Forces are successful, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, and in Kurshchyna - FSB. The publication is a statement by the Russian Defense Minister Andriy Belousov, who stated this week that the new coordination body is already working around the clock to find out how new groups of Russian troops can counterattack near Kursk. "It has shocked the Russians. They are shocked. It will not last forever.

They will gather together and respond respectively," said NATO's Christofer Christopher Christopher, Christopher Christopher G. Cavoli. As a result of the offensive of Ukraine, several settlements and one city in Russia have now been seized, but it has not yet achieved a key purpose: delaying a large number of Russian units from the East of Ukraine. American officials are convinced that Ukraine will not be able to keep the captured territories for a long time.

They say that the larger the territory of Ukraine will try to seize Russia in the West, the greater the risk of excessive expansion of its supply lines and air defense umbrellas. But apparently, there are no for a long time in Ukraine for a long time, because the Armed Forces do not dig trenches, do not change the fields and do not erect a barrier that can slow down the equipment of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.

"Ukraine has expanded the front line, which carries a certain risk, because it requires more personnel and equipment to keep this line - which, in turn, can deplete some other area of ​​the front or, more likely, to reduce their available reserves," James Rands said , Analyst of the British Intelligence Company Janes.

According to the irony, the US military says that the offensive on Kursk Ukraine has finally been able to show that it is able to conduct a "remedial" maneuver - synchronous attacks of infantry, armored vehicles and artillery. "The administration appreciates the risk that Ukrainians have gone, and sufficiently amazed by the command, control and coordination they demonstrated," said Evelyn Farcas, a former high -ranking Pentagon official on Ukraine in the Obama Administration.
