1
00:00:01,200 --> 00:00:06,360
A report has emerged from the Ukrainian General
Staff that the defense forces have had success
2
00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:11,220
in the direction of Novoprokopivka in the
Zaporizhzhya region. In the eastern sector of
3
00:00:11,220 --> 00:00:17,040
the Novoprokopivka locality, units of the enemy's
70th Motorized Rifle Regiment have been reinforced
4
00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:24,300
by the 1430th and 1441st Motorized Rifle Regiments
of the Territorial Forces, but there is a nuance.
5
00:00:25,140 --> 00:00:29,760
As recently as last week, these very forces,
which have now been thrown in for backup,
6
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:35,940
have themselves lost their combat effectiveness.
But with the shortage of resources, no one brings
7
00:00:35,940 --> 00:00:40,200
them out to make up for the loss of personnel
and equipment, all of them are immediately put
8
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:46,560
to meat! Well, since the times of the USSR, the
tactics of the Russian command have not changed.
9
00:00:47,340 --> 00:00:51,420
Military OSINT analysts, who observe what
is happening in the southern direction,
10
00:00:51,420 --> 00:00:56,520
write that the Ukrainian General Staff constantly
uses forces in different points of the front,
11
00:00:56,520 --> 00:01:00,900
forcing the enemy to rush to plug the
holes, which is absolutely logical.
12
00:01:01,500 --> 00:01:03,780
The tactic of thousand cuts in action.
13
00:01:03,780 --> 00:01:08,100
Most often began to talk about the advance
in Berdyansk and Melitopol direction.
14
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:15,480
In general, Melitopol is the key to the liberation
of the south. But some people think that there are
15
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:21,840
two further scenarios - to liberate Berdyansk or
to liberate Melitopol. In fact, this is part of
16
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:26,700
one big offensive scenario, and at this point in
history it is more relevant to talk about Tokmak.
17
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:33,540
There is such a concept as key points or key
zones. They are called key for a reason, because
18
00:01:33,540 --> 00:01:39,360
they are like a key that opens the next stages
of the offensive. In officer schools, commanders
19
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:45,240
are trained to find key points during exercises
and war games. There should always be a minimum
20
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:52,320
number of key points. That is, you should not say:
"aha, this height is a key point, and this route
21
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:59,160
is a key point, there is a forest, somewhere else
the enemy can hide, also a key point". This is the
22
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:04,020
wrong approach, you find the key points, then
you minimize them further and as a result only
23
00:02:04,020 --> 00:02:09,480
the most important ones remain. It should be a
minimum of points with a maximum of possibilities,
24
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:14,160
that if you control them or even influence
them, then you kind of open the next stages.
25
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:19,200
A classic example is the Kherson operation,
the key points were, of course, bridges,
26
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:25,860
logistics of the enemy. They were not occupied
physically, but there was fire action on them.And
27
00:02:25,860 --> 00:02:30,600
they kind of opened up the next stage.
The fact that the enemy couldn't resupply,
28
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:37,080
their logistics were disrupted, and they
had to retreat. Same thing here. And in any
29
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:43,680
combat or operational situation. Operational
art is based on this, it proceeds from this.
30
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:49,140
So, Tokmak is one of the key points,
key zones, because one of the very
31
00:02:49,140 --> 00:02:53,700
important logistic arteries - the
railroad - passes there. And then,
32
00:02:53,700 --> 00:02:58,560
of course, there will be Melitopol
and Berdyansk, but first Tokmak.
33
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:04,080
And it is not even important to occupy Tokmak,
but to take under fire control just this logistic
34
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:09,120
chain and eventually, of course, to liberate it,
but first of all, it is permanent fire control.
35
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:14,700
Artillery is already reaching Tokmak now, but
we need to reach the city with anything at all,
36
00:03:14,700 --> 00:03:20,040
including mortars. The forces of liberation
of Ukraine need to come so close that there
37
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:25,380
is already an opportunity to put even ATGMs and
fire on this railroad, so that it is so close.
38
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:30,840
Like the railroad that goes from Volnovakha
to the north, it is literally just a few
39
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:36,240
kilometers from the front, so the occupants
do not use it. That is, the front must come
40
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:41,460
a few kilometers literally to this railway
line. And then a new key point will open up.
