I am just a layman who enjoys military history . I found the Ukrainians attacking along the entire front baffling. There is a German term for the decisive point where your offensive fist should be concentrated. I do not think the UK military advisors would make a mistake of launching these piecemeal attacks.

Schwerpunkt is the word.

Feints at multiple points is a legitimate tactic to confuse the enemy as to where the main point of attack is coming, but Launching a bunch of attacks in the hope that one will break through, not som much.

You don’t get it—Its not about real attacks or victory on the battlefield—its about Bucks from Uncle Sam. It a PR Stunt to A) Make more Money and B) get US and European troops to come in. A real break tough would be counter productive. Its all about PR and clicks on the internet. This is a war Ukraine is winning.
