Die Unken-Rufe bei den #Vatnik Accounts auf Telegram und Twitter mit „Die Ukrainische 🇺🇦 Offensive bei #Zaporizhia / Süd-#Donetzk sei gescheitert“ ist herrlich. Es sind übrigens die gleichen Accounts, die das bei #Kharkiv & #Kherson auch geschrieben haben. Ein paar Fakten:

🧵/1
Unabhängig davon, dass die Front-Karten sowohl der 🇺🇦 als auch 🇷🇺 Seite einen stetigen Fortschritt beim Geländegewinn der AFU🇺🇦 zeigen, gibt es noch ein paar andere Faktoren die man bei diesen Accounts nicht zu lesen bekommt:

/2
1. AFU🇺🇦 hat bis zu 35. Brigaden (ganz genau weiß man es nicht) für die Offensive bereit. 11 davon sind mit westlichem Material ausgestattet. — bisher sind ca. 3-4 davon bei den Offensiven Operationen an der Front aktiv. — damit dürfte das Verhältnis einigermaßen klar werden.

1/ Je partage cette analyse de @witte_sergei depuis le début de l’offensive des FAU. Car dans cette opération, il faut chercher à imaginer quel est l’objectif stratégique atteignable à la mesure des possibilités réelles et non fantasmées des FAU. Objectif : Energodar? Pourquoi ?
2/ Pour des raisons politiques : la centrale d’´#Energodar constitue un objectif à forte valeur ajoutée que les ukrainiens ont bombardé (pour tenter sa démilitarisation) mais ont surtout attaqué environ 5 fois par des assauts amphibies qui ont échoué.
3/ la prise de cet objectif ou son encerclement constituerait un élément majeur de négociation tout en étant extrêmement difficile à reprendre de vive force par les russes en raison de la sensibilité de l’installation.

1. Tuesday again saw the most intense fighting in Ukraine south of #VelykaNovosilka. Each day the Ukrainian forces appear to apply lessons learned and employ combined arms tactics with advanced Kamikaze drone units to attack Russian infantry and armor units. Image
2. Russia has fought a trench war for years. Modern mechanized units make these tactics all but obsolete. Ukrainian forces are supported by heavy artillery and drones. Today when the Russians attempted to stop the Ukrainian advance with their Thermobaric tube artillery
3. the inferior thermobaric rocket range made it easy for the Ukrainian counter-battery artillery to target the thermobaric artillery and put it out of action. I've noticed that Ukraine is now deploying full drone attack units along several fronts.

1. I'm not going to speculate on whether the action along the contact line in #Zaporizhia is a prelude to the expected Ukrainian offensive but what it currently appears to be is a training op using real bullets. Ukraine is for the first time employing the skills and tactics that

Ich beobachte es immer wieder, auch in meinen Kommentaren, daß man auf „DEN Angriff“ der AFU🇺🇦 wartet, „DER Angriff“ wo 200 MBTs + Infanterie die 🇷🇺 Linien durchbrechen, & man wacht morgens auf, und die AFU🇺🇦steht 40km weiter. — Das wird es meiner Meinung nach so nicht

geben. Diese Vorstellung ist dem Vorgehen der AFU🇺🇦 in #Kharkiv & #Kherson geschuldet, das sollte man im Kopf abhaken. Das Vorgehen gegen 🇷🇺Befestigungen ist in #Zaporizhia eine ganz andere AFU🇺🇦 Taktik. Das grösste Problem der RF🇷🇺 ist, daß sie die über ein Jahr befestigen

Vorrei dedicare 5 minuti del mio tempo a cercare di spiegare cosa può e cosa non può accadere alla centrale nucleare di #Zaporizhia.

Iniziamo immediatamente dicendo che le paure di molti amici, come @Dashamayer14, non sono assurde, ma derivano da uno stato d'animo alimentato da… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
@Dashamayer14 Cosa potrebbe andare storto in una centrale di questo tipo? Innanzitutto, vorrei dirvi che noi ingegneri ci preoccupiamo di molti scenari possibili, inclusi quelli dei super villain, anche quando si tratta di centrali di design russo.

1. Può verificarsi un incidente simile a… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
@Dashamayer14 Aggiungiamo un altro punto. In entrambi i casi a meno di una volontaria esecuzione di un atto di sabotaggio ora la centrale ha entrambi i circuiti di raffreddamento chiusi.

Ukrainian attacks in western #Zaporizhia on June 8 do not represent the full extent of Ukrainian capabilities in the current #counteroffensive. isw.pub/UkrWar060823

The Russian Ministry of Defense (MoD) responded to the Ukrainian attack in western #Zaporizhia Oblast with an uncharacteristic degree of coherency and praised Southern Military District elements for repelling the attack and regaining lost positions. isw.pub/UkrWar060823
2/ The overall Russian response to the attack, both among milbloggers and the MoD, was notably coherent and relatively consistent with the available visual evidence, which may suggest that Russian forces were not surprised and reacted in a controlled and militarily sound manner.
3/ As ISW has previously assessed, the Russian information space reacts with a high degree of chaos and incoherence when taken by surprise by battlefield developments that do not allow the propaganda apparatus to develop a clear line.

The Ukrainian #counteroffensive has begun.

Activity throughout #Ukraine is consistent with a variety of indicators that Ukrainian counteroffensive operations are underway across the theater.
