We have heard a lot of criticism that the
Ukrainian armed forces are advancing in

the wrong place and in the wrong way. That
they are operating with too small forces,

that they need to use larger formations and
in a more concentrated manner, and many other

things said by people who would not even dare
to start what the Ukrainian soldiers are doing.

Let's assume that the AFU launched an offensive
with entire brigades, a large-scale assault by

large ground forces with limited air support,
with the occupants having tenfold superiority in

the air. Without the necessary number of tactical
air defense systems to cover the advancing troops.

Through minefields, head-on, taking into account
all the things I have already told you many times.

You can imagine the result. I don't
understand why theorists don't have

enough imagination to paint
this picture in their heads.

This was the rose-colored dream of the Russian
occupiers. They just bring up the air force and

wreck the whole thing in a short period of time
and it's all over very quickly. Insane human

casualties, destroyed equipment and a cross on the
further prospect of de-occupation of the South.

Wonderful prospects, but only for the occupiers.
And now compare what the Russian aviation,

for all its superiority, is actually
doing. It hunts for small groups of

AFU and individual units of equipment,
fires on roads when there is no one there.

The Ukrainians have long and widely
used the so-called small group tactics.

This applies to both men and equipment.
Accordingly, Russian aviation is chasing them,

dropping tons of bombs every day,
and the offensive is still going on.

From the very beginning of the campaign,
the AFU found itself in a situation where

they don't even have parity in the air. So
there was a choice. Not to offensive at all,

or to act as one can act at all under the
circumstances. The option that the theorists

talk about simply does not exist for the Ukrainian
defense forces for the reasons described above.

If the Ukrainian side had parity in the air,

perhaps we would see a different type of
offensive. Maybe it would have been faster,

maybe the storm troopers would be easier.
. But Ukraine has a certain material base

and the aggressor has more resources, he
entrenched himself while Ukraine was waiting

for political decisions from its allies
and the supply of weapons and ammunition.

And the indicator of success of the AFU actions is
not only in the form of advancement and losses of

the enemy. But also in how desperately Russian
propaganda is trying to enforce the narrative

about the insane losses of the AFU. To demoralize
Ukrainians and discourage allies from helping.

This is part of their military
doctrine - an indirect means

of pressure on the victim of
aggression, a bluff of sorts.

Yes, in war there cannot be no casualties,
and even one dead brother in arms is a lot.

But if it were as the occupants say, Ukraine
would have no more combat-ready units left.

It is a pity that we have to explain
obvious things to many people in the world.

That the Ukrainian armed forces will not conduct
such operations quickly without airplanes.....

no one can. Explaining that
Ukrainian assault forces have

significantly fewer resources
than the enemy in defense.

This should be understood by theorists who believe
that the offensive should be "large forces".

At the same time, the theory says that there
should be proper air support, which there is not.

But I hope that common sense will prevail
in the world and we will have an adequate

perception of the situation and understanding
of the need to support Ukraine's fight against

a threat that openly declares its
appetites that go far beyond Ukraine.

By the way, what are your
thoughts on President Biden's

refusal to provide ATACMS in the upcoming package?
