❗️ 🇷🇺🇺🇦 About systemic problems in the "West" Group of troops: using the example of the unsuccessful assault on Sinkovka
A few days ago, we drew attention to the accumulated problems in management within the Dnepr group of troops in the Kherson direction.
🔻However, speaking of this, it would be unfair not to acknowledge problems in other areas.
▪️ The Ukrainian segment published new footage of the unsuccessful assault on the positions of the AFU near Sinkovka by Russian troops in December 2023 (here is an example of a detailed analysis from colleagues).
▪️ The video recorded the advance of an armored group to the northern outskirts of the village from the side of Liman 1st.
▪️ Moving in a column in an open area, where the armored group came under attack from artillery and kamikaze drones. As a result, all the equipment was knocked out at once, and the personnel scattered in the nearby trenches, where they also came under fire.
▪️ At the beginning of the video, you can see damaged Russian armored personnel carriers at the exit from the landing. There had been previous attacks of this kind, but a frontal assault was still chosen as the only possible option.
Perhaps the reason was the dense mining of the area. But the example of other sectors of the front show that this problem can be solved: the offensives near Bakhmut and Avdeevka are evidence of this.
❗️The example of this sad incident reveals a systemic problem in the lack of competent use of troops on the front line. In this case, we are talking about to the Western Military District, whose units are responsible for the Kupyansky sector.
▪️ It won`t be possible to take Sinkovka head-on due to its geographical location. This requires advancement from Ivanovka and Timkovka, but the assault forces that would be useful there are repeatedly sent to Sinkovka.
▪️ Instead of thoroughly planning the operation to blockade Kupyansk, systemic attacks on rear targets, and destruction of supply routes for Ukrainian formations, everything came down to assault actions.
▪️ The moment was missed, and the advance near Kupyansk that began in the fall came to naught. Ukrainian formations have increased their strength, creating a fairly powerful group.
▪️ Assault groups advance without massive artillery preparation along the same route. Apparently, there is a lack of intelligence means or their incorrect use. And the result of this action, using the example of Ugledar or Belogorovka in 2022, is always the same.
🔻At the same time, with the provision of supplies to the troops of the Western Military District, things don't seem to be too bad: at least the supply of the assault groups in the Western Military District is truly established. An ordinary soldier has everything from ammunition to RPGs and a first aid kit filled to the brim. Air defense and electronic warfare systems are being supplied, but for some reason they are either being protected or are not even trying to introduce them into infantry units.
📌But here, as in the case of the Dnepr group, the main problem is the human factor . The thinking of some people responsible for planning has remained at the same level as before the SBO. No conclusions were drawn. The task has been set - complete it, no matter how. There is no awareness that this does not work.
