“Moving those elite troops into a pocket that is basically cut off and in the process of being surrounded is a very dangerous bet”.

I thought about that also. It may put them in a pincer situation. However I believe the Uke’s have @ 3 to 1 manpower advantage as they are on a full war footing as opposed to the Russians. So I believe they can probably protect their flanks. We shall see.

No, I’m talking about the Russian elite troops that have been moved in to defend the salient across the river in Kherson. With the bridges out they cannot easily get reinforcements or ammo, and the Ukrainians have begun to cross the river behind them to try to surround that pocket completely, which, if successful, will probably result in a rout and surrender of the troops in the pocket, unless they can break out.
