The Ukrainian Defense Commander of #Severodonetsk is a Genius π«‘
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?

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.

Thanks to that decision the #ArmedForcesofUkraine leveled the #Russian superiority in artillery and aircraft.
The situation is similar to Friedrich Paulus' troops in #Stalingrad.

Paulus troops were not ready for heavy street fighting and were unable to gain an advantage in artillery and aircraft.

Do you know what will happen if #Russia starts to gather maximum forces to complete the capture of the #Severodonetsk city and the #Luhansk region accordingly?

Such a scenario will weaken other parts of the #Russian front and will lead to local counterattacks by the #ArmedForcesofUkraine.

So, there are visible a few options for #Russians:
1) Russians will refuse to retreat from #Severodonetsk and repeat #Paulus's fate.
2) Move everything that #Russia has to Severodonetsk and push #Ukrainian forces from the city.

But 2nd option will be a Pyrrhic victory for #Russians due to impossible huge losses and weakening of the whole #Russian frontline.

Currently, #Russia moved its best forces to #Severodonetsk and eliminating most of them will be great pros for the future #Ukrainian offensive.

That thread contains thoughts provided by one of the #ArmedForcesofUkraine commissioned officers - @necyryl and my assumption based on his thoughts.
I know that at least a few military people around the world reading my page, so, I will be curious to hear your thoughts.
