The Ukrainian Armed Forces are acting creatively in the Kursk region of the Russian Federation.
The founder of the “Reactive Mail” ncharity organization, military expert Pavlo Narozhny, told Radio NV how the Ukrainian Armed Forces are operating in the Kursk region and why the enemy's numerical advantage in this area is not a determining factor.
“From the point of view of numerical advantage, it would work if there was a permanent line of defense on which some fortifications and the like were built. There are fortifications there, but there are very few of them. That is, the enemy is simply not able to do this quickly, he needs months to build them,” Narozhny commented.
According to him, Ukrainian maneuverability plays an important role:
“We are very good at working this way. We strike somewhere in some place, receive, say, a powerful response from the enemy, and try in another place. If we break through [the defense] there, it means that we have entered the rear and are destroying enemy units. Therefore, in this particular case, the numerical advantage does not work until there is a very stable line of contact, on which we have been standing for months; when the enemy knows the geography very well, has built some fortifications.”
This is exactly how, Narozhny reminded, the Ukrainian Armed Forces are now acting, developing a new direction in the west of the Kursk region:
“The Ukrainian troops are attempting to bypass the same grouping that is in the Glushkovsky district from another direction. Again, they are making yet another unexpected attack, where the enemy does not have powerful units; in order to develop a new direction, so that the enemy would have to respond, to pull more or less powerful units from other directions in order to stop another offensive of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.”
