London, Thanasis Gavos
THE Former Commander-in-Chief of the British Armed Forces General Sir Richard Barons assessed speaking on BBC radio that we are seeing her shift Russian tactics in Ukraine in one “Large-scale wear war” with massive bombardments.
He said that will last as long as needed to capture important goals for them, such as Mariupolthe fall of which will create a land bridge between Russia and Crimea.
He estimated that next “reasonable” big goal is the port of Odessawhile it will continue the pressure on Kievas the capital is the political center of gravity.
The retired British general located three Russian military failures so far: the incorrect assessment of the situation on the ground at the beginning of the invasion, the inability to concentrate heavier forces during the first three weeks in parallel with the dispersal of the developed forces and the failure to occupy the air control.
At the same time o Analyst at the prestigious RUSI Institute for Military Studies in London Dr. Jack Watling estimated that the Russia is indeed changing tactics bound by the challenges of supplying so many soldiers to so many invading axes.
“It simply came to our notice then. “What we are seeing now is a transition in which the Russians from supplying multiple axes of advance to Ukraine are now forced to focus on supplying one axle at a time,” the British analyst told BBC radio.
“They are beginning to establish positions around Kyiv, they remain strong around Kharkov and Mariupol is their main effort at the moment. If Mariupol falls, then they can shift this main effort elsewhere. “So I think we will see a lot more successive in the development of the business than the Russians,” said Dr. Watling.
Explain in more detail what this means isolation and strangulation of a city before proceeding to the same tactic in the next city. Therefore, in his estimation, the war is entering a “much slower period”.
