About, that the Armed Forces of Ukraine are about to start a counteroffensive, talk has been going on for a long time, however, no real action is yet to be seen. maybe, this is also related to the recent leaks of American secret documents, describing the situation around Ukraine.
Whatever it was, such a step would be accompanied by, according to many experts, big risks. The British newspaper Financial Times called the likely counteroffensive of Ukraine, which should be accompanied by a breakthrough of Russian defensive lines, "very high risk".
For such an operation to be successful, the coordinated work of "the entire giant combined arms orchestra" is necessary., newspaper writes.
According to former British Royal Engineers officer Nick Gunnell, in the event of a counteroffensive, the position of the Ukrainian side will be aggravated, that Russia has air supremacy. Conducting a classic counter-offensive without air supremacy is very rarely successful., notes another British officer, former commander of the British mechanized infantry battalion Ben Barry.
Financial Times experts believe, that it will be very difficult for the Armed Forces of Ukraine to break through the Russian defensive lines, minefields, lines of anti-tank gouges, lines of trenches and dugouts, as well as anti-tank ditches. used photos:Wikipedia/AFU StratCom
