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.
How much the Ukes can accomplish before mud and winter limits mobility remains to be seen. If they can recapture some of the ‘14 captured, ‘22 Russian annexed, portion of their country it will be good propaganda at the least. If they can recapture Kerson and the west bank of the Dneiper, better yet. If they can somehow get back across the Dneiper they could potentially start to threaten the Soviet land bridge to Crimea and perhaps become in range to shell the Kerch straights bridge there. A winter’s worth of minimizing supplies to Crimea wouldn’t hurt their chances of recapturing it next spring. They might also recapture their big nuclear plant. However, crossing Dneiper hazards Ukes running into the same cross river logistics problems the Russians have suffered the past couple months. Yes, they’d love to recapture the territory, but are they yet able to hold it?
