Surovikin is in the doghouse for wasting $8 billion in cruise missiles on infrastructure attacks that were supposed to force Ukraine to give Putin what he wants. El floppo.
You guys are so gullible, you have no real idea of what this command restructuring is designed to achieve.
Russian military experts schooled by western propo leaks to media?
Any attempt at real analysis by anyone esp now is abandoned in the haste to write anything..anything..about Russia in a dramatic negative way and pump it out via the press. To schtoops still sucking on slava ukrani hopium. To divert from the Uke disaster unfolding…which was predicted by solid independent analysts whose jobs don’t depend on telling Jake Sullivan what he wants Biden to hear.
Geez.
Just realize that the military plan is changing once Bakhmut falls, and may go a lot wider. Bakhmut is not the beginning of the end, but may be the end of the beginning. Have you guys even considered the battle of next week…next month..,and beyond?
Gerasimov’s position would be the man for expanded command. Esp if strategic assets and extended logistics come into play. Or if Poland does something stupid. Or Belarus. Or NATO.
Surovikin is doing the job on the Eastern front, that he was hired to do. And doing it solidly by appearances. And has more fronts ahead,
