One of Zelensky's greatest attacks on the philosophical and material hollowness of Russia was early in the war. He said something like, "In the Soviet Union, the thing people said was 'see Paris, then you can die'. Now it's 'steal a toilet and die'".

But the west is North Korea. Hey, Marga, NK are supposed to be your friends. Don't throw them under the bus.

Well, that's inconvenient. If true. Stupid explodey things. https://twitter.com/pravda_eng/status/1667974983430094849 "The defence industry of the Russian Federation is affected by international sanctions.

Good article: Think Ukraine's offensive has started? Wait for the heavy brigades. quote:There’s fighting underway across frontline Ukraine, says Lt-Gen (rtd.) Ben Hodges, but the decisive moment will come when we see hundreds of armored vehicles hitting Russian lines. https://cepa.org/article/think-ukraines-offensive-has-started-wait-for-the-heavy-brigades/

I would think while Ukraine would certainly like to liberate Crimea (and I agree with him that they likely can) the mainland territory is more decisive. They are saying that if Ukraine is given everything on its wish list (from ATACMS to F-16s to Abrams to whatever else they might want), then Crimea would be a reasonable and attainable target to take militarily. The inverse of this is that without that gear, Crimea would not necessarily be a reasonable or attainable target to take in the sense of invasion; in that case, Crimea would be taken through geographic and logistical isolation via cutting off the land bridge from Russia to Crimea through occupied Donbas (which is what they are currently doing) or through diplomatic negotiations as part of ending active hostilities

Blanketing the island with AA and establishing G2S missile sites wil allow Ukraine to prevent a huge amount of shipping via air or shop. Blowing the bridge completely aswell seems completely possibly now. Especially with storm shadow in play. I think that taking it might become a negotiated settlement. Especially if Russia starts really burning and Crimea becomes a secondary matter to rebels and the shattered men of the failed war who lurk the hills and highways.

It's not impossible and it's the ultimate goal Ukraine should have, but seems unlikely to come about as part of this immediate offensive and shouldn't factor into analyses of its success. Of course, the Russians could just collapse in a week—hard to tell how much of their "entrenchment" is empty posturing and the apparent infighting didn't bode well for them.

Blanketing the island with AA and establishing G2S missile sites wil allow Ukraine to prevent a huge amount of shipping via air or shop. Blowing the bridge completely aswell seems completely possibly now. Especially with storm shadow in play. Blowing the bridge has been possible ever since HIMARS were delivered last summer. If you remember, Ukraine did a major strike against that bridge late last summer and destroyed its traffic ability in two lanes, and the remaining lane was reduced to single vehicle traffic only. I don't know the status of the repairs done since, but I doubt the damage has been fully repaired. The major thing is that Ukraine has deliberately left the Kerch Bridge usable, if not critically damaged. They've said they are deliberately leaving an escape/retreat route open for the occupiers in Crimea; if you trap someone with no way out, you're making them fight to the death more often than you're not. The Kerch Bridge will be left standing for as long as it helps Ukraine's purposes more than it hinders them, and you'll know when that inflection point happens because the bridge will go from standing to down overnight. Let alone HIMARS, a Storm Shadow to a load bearing strut will collapse that bridge faster than you can say Kharkiv Counteroffensive. When it comes to Crimea itself, that's the one sticking area I've never felt comfortable projecting about. It has such a deep history and importance to Russia that they legitimately take Crimea to be core Russian land, and have for hundreds of years. The Russian Empire went to war to take Crimea in the first place because of Sevastopol and the need for an ice-free, deep water port. I cannot imagine Russia giving up such a strategic importance lightly, and when it comes to Crimea, I believe for Russia all options are on the table from tac-nukes to a negotiated exchange in a peace settlement. It's just such a wild card that it's impossible to even project possibilites outside of broad strokes tbh HonorableTB fucked around with this message at 05:51 on Jun 12, 2023 |

The only broad stroke I would confidently say is likely is that Ukraine marches To the sea of Azov before going after Donetsk and Luhansk etc to cut off reinforcements into Crimea from the Ukrianians side.

You're not wholly wrong, but I would advise you to shift your projects further south because this counteroffensive is entirely aimed at liberating Melitopol as a jumping-off point to taking Mariupol or somehow otherwise severing the land bridge from Russian occupied Donbas to Russian occupied Crimea. Ukraine would not be shooting for Tokmak if Melitopol wasn't the first main course on the menu because Tokmak is strategically unimportant in any scenario except for one in which Ukraine is going to try for Mariupol and cut that link in half to put strategic pressure on Crimea (remember, Russia blowing the dam at Kakhovka also cut off Crimea's irrigation and agricultural water supply, this helps in a siege scenario). Tokmak itself is a regionally important crossroads with links to Zaporizhzhia oblast and Donbas HonorableTB fucked around with this message at 05:57 on Jun 12, 2023 |
