They were completely driven out so much that they already entered Sumy and yes with the support of the DPRK which sent 10 thousand fighters, most of them were KPA units supposedly special forces of the XI Corps. They are elite light infantry, almost special forces, they have their pick in terms of who can enter, they receive advanced training compared to the rest of the KPA, and their mission in a war is exactly what they were supposedly tasked with doing at Kursk: breaking through prepared defenses on foot. This does not make the Kurk issue a Russian failure when in reality even Ukrainian commanders are resigning due to incompetent strategies of the Ukrainian command, which includes Kursk, whose number of deaths and material losses were enormous for the objective they wanted, it is not surprising that Putin does not kill Zelensky.
This is exactly the kind of maneuver the Russians expect and want from the Ukrainians. I don’t doubt that they will do it because the comedian who is leading the war on the Ukrainian side is a PR agent and wants to make the war his main TV show. Ukraine has never won a single battle while it has been on the offensive since November 2022, do you really think that this will change anything?
Last time Ukraine had invaded Kherson with huge losses but with mobilized personnel and its units with TO&E above 60-70%, now this maximum is no more than 50% in all its battalions, whose main deficiency is chronic understaffing. I think you are being fed by Ukrainian propaganda, because both sides suffer from the same problem: there is no breakthrough because it is simply not possible.
Good analogy but useless considering we are seeing two Soviet armies fighting each other.
You simply do not know the reality of the ground nor the Recon Fires Complex that keeps both under constant surveillance and continuous attack preventing any advance that explores areas after the attempted penetration. By the way, the Ukrainians made the same type of attack that the Russians are making in the failed counteroffensive in 2023 in the first days after the initial armor losses in the Robotyne axis. Do you call these human wave attacks too?
Russia has been using its Recon Fires Complex since the beginning of the war, but Ukraine already had its system ready and operational, unlike the Russians who, in addition to expanding the use of the system, began to deploy drones that began to be part of the Russian system, something that the Ukrainians had already done even before starting the war. The year 2022 was the year in which the Russians tried to advance while their Recon Fires Complex had not even reached its majority, while the year 2023 was when we saw that ISTAR began to improve, which ended up culminating in the failed Ukrainian counteroffensive in the summer of 2023.
The Russians have neither the training nor the skills, much less the experience, to conduct SEAD/DEAD operations that would allow the VKS to control the air, yet drones are still part of the recon fires complex and fighters will not be of much use in degrading FPV/DJ capabilities unless they start hunting each component of the recon firex complex individually or collectively, both sides are incapable of doing either of the two that would allow them to permanently degrade the other's recon firex complex.
Dude, study up on the "bite and hold" strategy, both sides have been doing it since 2023.
