The Ukrainian Defense Commander of #Severodonetsk is a Genius 🫡
Every war birth new geniuses and this war is not an exception. I think that for the next 100s of years military people will study #Mariupol and #Severodonetsk's defense.

The Defense Commander of #Severodonetsk takes into account that Russian forces are bad at street fighting he decided to allow #Russian forces to enter the city.
Why?

#Russian forces have bigger numbers of people, artillery, and the opportunity to use aviation in that direction.
So, the #Ukrainian commander decided to draw Russian troops into the city and drag them into heavy street combat.

The #UnitedStates is considering whether to send HIMARS to #Ukraine in its fight against #Russia. What is the M142 High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS) and could a deep strike precision guided munition tip the scales towards #Ukraine in the #UkraineRussiaWar?
HIMARS are capable of firing both rockets & missiles. The most common rocket is the Guided Multiple Launch Rocket System M31A1 rocket (see below) that comes in pods of 6 rockets. These rockets can travel beyond 70km (reportedly 84km) to strike targets with an accuracy of 2m.
The M31A1 rockets have a 200 pound warhead with a variable fuse that can be used in different modes to engage different target sets. This include: point detonating (explodes when it hits), proximity fuse (explodes at 3m or 10m above ground) or delay (1m or 2m delay after impact).
#Izyum Axis Update and ISW Map - #Russia is still actively conducting attacks actions across much of this map. Confirmed intel today that #Ukraine still controls at least some of #Rubizhne to the south and east. The #UAF is still slowly falling back towards #Severodonetsk.
#Russia is still attempting to encircle #Severodonetsk by taking the routes into the city from the NE and then using the Donets River to block SW. Our assessment is that RUAF wants to force the UAF into a pocket similar to the blue in the map below. Red is current front lines.
#Ukrainian governor of #Luhansk Oblast confirmed today that around half of #Popasna is controlled by #Russia but UAF is still contesting the city. RUAF has likely taken the city center but only barely. No discernible changes in the city today, only new confirmations of control.
An amazing analysis of the current #Ukraine️ #war
@kamilkazani takes us back to Cold War and evolution of Russian war machine based on those weapons/tactics.
Question: Will this op prove to be as much a watershed for #Russianarmy as it was for #UkrainianArmedForces in 2014?

In addition, the entire situation raises further questions
1-As mentioned in the tweet above, would this stimulate transformation of military affairs in the #RussianArmy in particular and #RussianArmedForces forces in general?
Especially considering the points @kamilkazani made?

2-Actually, and retrospectively, this raises more questions. And these questions are based on President #Putin own past career in particular and the post #SovietUnion combat experience of the #RussianArmedForces in general
