3rd Brigade ATTACKS Superior Russian Army in Kharkiv!

The objective of the operation was not to simply take territory, but to disrupt the Russian 20th Army’s plans and logistics. The Russians outnumbered the Ukrainians by 2.5 to 1, with more enemy support forces in the backfield. But the Ukrainians used meticulous planning, unconventional tactics, coordinating artillery, air defense, and intelligence effects to take out around 300 Russian personnel and significant damage to their equipment and weapons.

The real objective was to conduct a spoiling attack, which is a military tactic where an army disrupts an enemy’s plans and preparations, rendering them vulnerable and less effective. The Ukraine’s third assault Brigade achieved this by targeting the Russian 20th Army’s logistics and plans, rendering them unable to effectively respond to the attack.

The Ukrainians observed the Russian buildup, including the concentration of armor, and seized the opportunity to strike at their most vulnerable moment. By doing so, they could further disrupt the Russian army’s plans and limit their ability to conduct a successful offense.

This was not a conventional attack, but a cleverly planned and executed operation that caught the Russians off guard. The Ukrainians used their artillery and air support to devastating effect, while also employing drone reconnaissance to gather critical intelligence on the Russian 20th Army’s plans. This allowed them to pinpoint the most vulnerable areas to target and strike, achieving their objective.

Ultimately, the Ukrainians’ success in this operation disrupted the Russian army’s plans and demonstrated their ability to adapt to the unconventional tactics needed to counter a superior enemy force. The outcome has significant implications for the ongoing conflict, as the Ukrainians continue to push forward, catching the Russians off guard and gaining the upper hand.
