Ukraine's allies have finally agreed to send it advanced tanks, after months of indecision, but now want Ukraine to start fighting differently.
Western officials are suggesting that it adopt a new style of warfare and new tactics that reflect the high-level weaponry it's been given, CNN reported.
This would involve moving away from battles of attrition towards launching rapid attacks against Russian forces.
Three US officials — deputy national security adviser Jon Finer, Deputy Secretary of State Wendy Sherman, and Undersecretary of Defense for Policy Colin Kahl — met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy last week, where they reportedly suggested the change in tactic.
The group said Ukraine should move towards a style of mechanized maneuver warfare that "uses rapid, unanticipated movements against Russia," sources told CNN.

They really want a guaranteed nuclear war don’t they?
Trump just posted first the tanks then the nukes.
Yikes. Not good. Tanks, troops = nukes? None of this is worth that.
It will bring on the Great Reset and Population Reduction.
“Next we send in the troops.”
Where are all the Hippie leftist war protestors?
All living on SS by now?
*CRICKETS*
Yet another reason I’m always harping on people to pay attention to what they’re GIVING Mother Government via their tax dollars. That beotch consumes everything and produces nothing - but misery!
Starve the beast!*
*Yes. I know. They just PRINT all the cash they want, but at least you’re not part of the PROBLEM in the first place. Cold comfort. :(
“It sort of reminds me of a gang war:
It is an ethnic war. Been going on for ages.
Just last week the Hungarians accused the Ukrainians of crime against Hungarian ethnic groups in western Ukraine.
>> They’re going to burn like Ronsons...
You mean the Russian junk T-72s and T-90 (which is a souped up T-72), like they did in Iraq?
That they will.
Thermobaric bombs. They also ref’ to them as vacuum bombs.
Source for the Trump info?
Don’t they have to train on the new toys first? Fill them up with gas? Stock them with ordnance?
I have been guaranteed by FReepers that zero US military will die or be in Ukraine…zero.
There are zero US Special Forces in the Ukraine currently, and that PMCs and Spooks don’t count.
So, on Friday one is a patriotic USN SEAL, and on Monday you’re merc trash…
Yep. They’re crazy. Stupid crazy.
And bloodthirsty.
Thermobaric is a real bitch.
My view is that armor and air have both been shown to be lacking in the present unpleasantries in The Ulraine.
Gas about "the old ways" is that: gas.
>> I hope Russia destroys every piece of Nato equipment.
And I hope Russian imperial ambitions are beaten back to 1991 borders.
How is the weather in Moscow, tovarisch?
Ukraine has avoided massive tank-on-tank engagements so far.
Russian AF has also been underwhelming to say the least.
But historically most Russian equipment, Russian doctrine and training vs. NATO has lost in every single regional conflict.
MiG-21 in Indian service pretty much held its own against Paki F-104, but that was a long time ago and both nations used Western doctrine and training.
The massive tank-on-tank engagement is a non-factor in the current Bakhmut-Maginot Line scenario.
I doubt if the Ulrainians have had a chance to set up west of Kostyantynivka the sort of defenses used by the Soviets prior to Unternehmen Zitadelle, so I don't think we'll see that there, either.
Well, it’s in the northern hemisphere, so Moscow is probably snowy and cold.
Warmongering globalists may get the nuclear war they are pursuing.
