Ukraine’s grinding advance towards Tokmak — expert interview
https://english.nv.ua/nation/ukraine-s-grin...w-50351764.htmlA continuous minefield over 100 kilometers long, and from 10 to 20 kilometers in depth in various areas...
(დანაღმული ტერიტორიის მაშტაბი...)
A dotted line of so-called strongholds was further behind this minefield. That is, platoon, company, and battalion-level strongholds, which were deployed on all dominant heights, firing from up there. But they weren’t connected to each other, it was just such a dotted line from the dominant heights. We have overcome this first defensive line. We have now reached the second line. And it includes the following. To begin with the amusing, it includes the so-called dragon’s teeth. I think everyone has already seen photos or videos [of those]. These are white concrete pyramids that, in the Russian imagination, were supposed to stop our tanks, somehow.
In fact, why these pyramids were built, to be honest, is a mystery to me. The only rational explanation is that someone simply gobbled up the budget. Because there is absolutely no use from them as they don’t stop tanks. If you remember, maybe several years ago it was fashionable to put so-called energy pyramids on the tables, which were supposed to protect against negative energies. The use of these concrete pyramids is exactly the same.
(სუროვიკინის "კბილები" ტანკებისთვის პრობლემას არ წარმოადგენსო და რა სირად ქნეს, გაუგებარია, ალბათ ფული ხერხესო)
But this is the only funny element, followed by the unfunny. The New York Times issued a false statement that we had already broken through the second defensive line. This statement was actually based on the fact that there were already photos and footage of how our fighters were leaving all these dragon’s teeth behind. But no. The fact is that these dragon’s teeth mark the beginning of the Russians’ second defensive line. That is, the fact that we crossed them means that we have wedged ourselves into the second line, and the fighting is actually taking place there now.
(მეორე ხაზი რომ გავჭერით ტყუილია. სინამდვილეში ეგ "კბილები" მეორე დაცვის ხაზის მხოლოდ დასაწყისია. )
There are also minefields between the dragon’s teeth and the trenches I’m describing. This is no longer one continuous minefield, as it was on the first line, since the Russians would simply not be able to move between their own defensive lines if they were to mine everything there continuously. These are dozens of separate minefields with passages between them. There are still a lot of fields, but there is room to squeeze in between, followed by these trenches and concrete bunkers.
(მეორე დაცვის ხაზი ასე ინტენსიურად/განუწყვეტლად დანაღმული არაა, მათ შორის, იმიტომაც, რომ თავად ორკებს გაუძნელდებოდათ გადაადგილება.)
If we break through the second line, we’ll reach the third one. But the third defensive line is going to be really simple. It’s not an independent line at all. It’s more like a support line for the first two, including mostly command posts, communication points, warehouses, etc. They (Russians) won’t be able to hold it. But the second line is still suitable for holding, concrete bunkers are actually worth a lot. And the main thing is the price paid.
(დაცვის ხაზი ადვილია. დამოუკიდებელი ხაზიც არაა, უფრო დამხმარიო. ძირითადად საწყობები/შტაბები)
If we regain Tokmak, by the way, for those who want to understand where the line is. When we retook the village of Robotyne, from that moment you can assume that the first line was left behind. But when we retake Tokmak, it will mean that we have taken the second line and it is completely breached. So, if or when we retake Tokmak, it will be almost impossible to hold us back.
Later, it’s theoretically possible to hold Berdyansk and Melitopol and prevent us from reaching the Sea of Azov, but it’s extremely unlikely in practice. Unfortunately, the Russians also understand this. They understand that their last chance to stop our offensive, to prevent us from reaching the Sea of Azov, and thus turning Crimea into an island, is now near Tokmak. Accordingly, all available reserves will be pulled in there. And in fact, everything will be decided there by whoever runs out of reserves first. There are some grounds for cautious optimism.
(ტოკმაკი თუ ავიღეთო, თეორიულად შეიძლება ჩვენი შეჩერება, მაგრამ პრაქტიკულად არა მგონიაო. ეს მორდორსაც ესმით, რომ ტოკმაკთან წყდება ამ შეტევის ბედი)
Dykyi: No single weapon fundamentally ever solves anything. There is no Wunderwaffe, no silver bullet for a vampire. Every weapon is helpful. Each weapon is very useful, and some weapons become “game changers” for a certain period, slightly changing the rules of war. But no single weapon gives a total victory, unless we’re talking about nuclear weapon, of course. Let’s remember how the Bayraktars [UAVs] and the Javelins [anti-tank guided missiles] were a very powerful factor at the beginning of the war that helped us disrupt the so-called special military operation and force the Russians to proceed to a real war.
And in this full-scale war, they learned to counter Bayraktars, and Javelins no longer play such an outsized role. Later, the artillery war began. HIMARS [rocket artillery systems] arrived. HIMARS made a big difference, because we immediately had a 70-kilometer line available instead of a 30-kilometer one. OK. Months passed, and the Russians adapted to this as well. Now we really need F-16s. They will also change a lot once we get them. Because this total control of skies by the Russians will finally end.
(საინტრესოა, ბაირაქტარებზე ვიცოდით რომ იმდენად ეფექტურად ვეღარ იყენებენ, მაგრამ ჯაველინებსაც ახსენებს. ნეტავ რანაირად მოხდა ჯაველინების როლის შემცირება...
ჰაიმარსებზე ბაზარია, მოკლედ, რომ უფრო და უფრო სიღრმეში უნდა ვუბრახუნოთო (ვეჭვობ იგულისხმება რომ ჰაიმარსების მოქმედების ზონაში მორდორის მსხვილი საწყობები ფიზიკურად არ არსებობს) )
