“if you’re Ukraine or its backers. Russian fortifications are as formidable as advertised. Western equipment can withstand a lot, but vast minefields are vast minefields, and Kyiv and its newly trained forces have largely failed at conducting combined arms operations on a large scale — that is, coordinating troops and all this different weaponry, like armored vehicles and artillery, to blitz through Russian lines.”

They suck at coordinating wide ranging and differing assets. They have no ISR satellites etc.
CIA and Brits planned and coordinated the whole thing.

Oh my, this thread has brought out a swarm of ‘RUSSIA!, RUSSIA!, RUSSIA!’ neocon trolling gnats to plague us.

I can see the rivers of tears flowing from your crying for your mother Russia. Putin will be sending a tissue boxes your way.

Not that it matter, but I don’t believe Ukraine alone can pull off this type of attack, at 5 bases, simultaneously.

The Ukrainians were 'Russians' in the past, and no doubt, there are many Russians in eastern Ukraine who were allowed access to Russia in the last 30+ years after Ukraine became independent. Plus, of course, Ukraine is receiving assistance from American and NATO satellites and spy operations.

Ukraine is NOT ALONE and Russia cannot win. All Russia can do is try to hold the territory they got at the beginning of the war.

I'm hearing now that the truck drivers were Russian and using Russian trucks, so, the spy operations are not just by the western countries and Ukraine, but also by Russians. Once the trucks were delivered to the attack sites, the Ukrainians were not involved in carrying out the finishing touches of the drone attacks.

Russia has 'enemies' throughout the world, including even inside Russia.

According to an article here on FR, this has been a US military operation, out of Germany, from pre-day one.

If so, it was Trump and Hegseth approved.

That may be part of it, but a former U.S. General who comments on FOX and has access to some military intelligence, said it was like what I said in post #63
