A bridge too far for Russian invaders as whole battalion destroyed in failed river crossing mission

The complex operation, dramatically foiled by Ukrainian forces, is emblematic of the Kremlin’s wider struggles in the latest phase of war

The Ukrainians definitely know what they are doing. I think the video I posted yesterday talks about that river and how UKR had stopped them once before but that RU was going to have to try again because it's important.

Is that "genius" level strategy to put a bunch of people and equipment into a small area with no cover?

You can't cross a river unless you have an established "beach head". I don't know what RU is thinking because it seems they are ignoring basic battle tactics.

There is social media comment from Ukrainian forces saying that the Russians planned the crossing at exactly where UKR expected and basically walked right into a disaster.

Yeah, either they are really poorly trained, or they have bad intel (underestimating Ukraine troop strength or positions). Maybe both. I also think that this was one of those things where their command protocol fails them so badly because the troops don't really have a lot of room to improvise as the situation on the ground changes.

It's their top down command structure, it's a failure.

Wouldn't be surprised if UKR is still intercepting communications from the Russian army. That would definitely put the Russians at a huge disadvantage.

There is a thread on twitter of the UA soldier who is also an engineer and was tasked on identifying , if RF forces WERE to cross, where they would do it.

According to the thread, he nailed it. The UA forces prepped for this before hand.

I'll see if I can find

I think they definitely are. And they're using roaming pings from cell Russian cell phones to assess troop strength and location. Total lack of competency from RUS.

Not above tootin' his own horn, is he?! LOL If he is all that he says he is, he needs a promotion and pay raise. Then he wouldn't have to ask for donations over Paypal.

he partners with another guy on Twitter that collects donations, then buys supplies and ferrys them to the frontlines out of Lviv. ( also does toys for kids- further down his timeline, he had toys delivered to the kids in Kyiv train station ( maybe Kharkiv - cant remember )


But like i said, its Twitter, so its possible he was "involved" but not the main catalyst, or was. I choose to believe

He's saying what he has to say in order to save his political life. He knows he wouldn't survive an uprising in his country and now he sees that Putin's army will not be able to help him maintain control. Hell, he could probably hold off a Russian invasion on his own against these troops.
