When Ukraine’s long-awaited counteroffensive finally begins, the fight will be led by brigades armed not only with Western weapons but also Western know-how, gleaned from months of training aimed at transforming Ukraine’s military into a modern force skilled in NATO’s most advanced warfare tactics.
As other Ukrainian units were fighting to expel the Russian occupiers from the country’s east and south, the brand-new 47th Separate Mechanized Brigade was preparing for the next phase of war from a classroom at a NATO base in Germany.
The brigade’s leadership trained with computers that simulated situations they might face in real life. Deputy commander Maj. Ivan Shalamaha and others planned their assaults and then let the program show them the results — how their Russian enemies might respond, where they could make a breakthrough and where they would suffer losses.
“You understand the overall picture, how it works,” Shalamaha said. “You understand where and what your shortcomings were. And we pay attention to what we failed to do during this simulation.”
Now the war games are over. The 47th brigade and other assault units have been armed with Western weapons, including Bradley infantry fighting vehicles, and relocated to a secret location closer to the front line. During a recent visit by Washington Post journalists, the soldiers were waiting for the order to charge ahead to retake a large swath of Ukrainian territory and tip the war back in Kyiv’s favor.
The counteroffensive will be the biggest test yet of the U.S.-led strategy of giving the Ukrainians weapons and training to fight like an American army might — but on their own.

The war has widened a bit more.
The plastic bimbo might as well be doing the reporting, it’s fake too.
The same or similar stories, etc., can be found in the Euro media, whatever it’s political flavor.
For instance, the Polish news, Poland being the enemy of the supposed Schwab-WEF masters of the universe. You would, I am sure, agree with the Poles on 99.9% of everything - except for the case of this war.
And then you would have to consign those good people to the devil, because of that disagreement.
Most of what goes on in the world is independent of US political conflicts. It’s an extremely parochial view to evaluate everything this way.
This assumes the Russians actually have the brute force. This has not been apparent since their last, failed attempt at maneuver warfare, at Izyum last year.
Blowing, something you are familiar with pops ? Go inside and watch Rachel MadCow, she’s a Uke Nazi shill too.
Did they get diversity, equity and inclusion training as well?
If they fight like the US, then they will certainly lose.
Russia has proven it still knows how to fight a war....go in, break things, take out civilian buildings, hit infrastructure hard and bring the enemy to their knees.
The US avoids hitting civilian area, tries not to damage infrastructure too much and wants to negotiate with the enemy while they still have the fighting spirit. That is why we have not won a war since WWII.
That was then. The Russians have been mobilizing and they have not been sitting still either. We shall soon see what is real and what is not.
How many of those troops are actually NATO military?
OK. Now the Russians know the unit & that they're now in the field close to the front. I hope their cloaks of invisibility are functioning. Please don't hesitate to cough up more information everybody should know.
Maybe they’ll call l it a ‘police action’.
Kinetic action.
Here comes the Spring Offensive!
Ooops,
Here comes the Summer Offensive!
Sunday morning entertainment. I don’t know which is the most fun, propaganda from WaPo or the spats among members regarding it.
What’s not entertaining is if a counteroffensive actually materializes, there will be dead, lotsa dead on both sides. It will also be an opportunity for the Ukes to beg for more money. The worst is wondering if we are inching closer to a nuke war.
