Another post based on the Rybar Russian map. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kpFk3lta_H0 Go to 3:00 for this part of the front.
Marshal Foch, September 1918 -
“Tout le monde à la bataille”
?
Russia is about to be handed a historical defeat at the hands of The Fourth Reich.
“… this is a very broad front advance…”
*****************************************
A “broad front advance” or an “ATTEMPT to advance on a broad front”? There’s a difference and this is meant as a serious question.
Looks like Ukraine has managed to arm, train and equip the few hundred thousand men they raised over the past few months, plus the 200-300 armored vehicles they got from Poland. They seem to be finally using combined arms with drones and radio artillery observers among front line troops. Russia will manage to train and equip at least some of the forces they are raising, so the Ukrainians need to strike hard now.
Never been impressed with DPA and I’ve seen no other reports of such a wide offensive on the eastern front. Next he will say that glorious russian forces repelled the disorganized and poorly led Ukrainians. It’s a good distraction from the disasters in the north and south, and the trolls can point to the imaginary victories in the east.

I suspect the point is taking advantage of a number fleet of artillery and tanks and soldiers who don’t need as much support from those, and avoiding the Russian mistake of creating easy targets. It’s almost like a macro version of what the US legendarily did in micro in the Revolutionary war when in battles we ran and fought from all angles instead of presenting an amassed phalanx. (And yes, I’m aware that the American Revolution tactics are largely legendized.)
