What our unit did for Kharkiv offensive to succeed 🧵

We prepared for this operation several weeks and trained years before this moment. Now, I can disclose some details.
Weeks before the operation, we captured Russian TMM-3m2. These Russian bridge deploying vehicles were used in this operation. They are now effectively serving Ukrainian army needs.
We did our work fast and we were successful.
We arranged this bridge over Siverskiy Donets in Izium region which united two major UAF groups, and this allowed us to counterattack Kharkiv region successfully by enabling logistics to go through that bridge.
Ukrainian President @ZelenskyyUa also used our bridge when he visited Izium. What we know by now is that thousands of civilians use the bridge daily to commute - because it’s the only bridge left in the area.
That is an honor for me and my brothers in arms to serve Ukraine and fight for freedom.

How can we win the war with the Russians despite RU having unlimited armor and resources? Here are some key differences between UA and RU armies:

• Manpower and army composition
• Command structure - Centralized vs decentralized
• Usage of the combined arms
🧵🧵🧵
Both UA and RU armies have common roots in the giant Soviet military. The Soviets had many conscripts and armor but lacked skilled soldiers and had incompetent command. It was incapable of rapid deployment and wasn't combat-ready.
Modern post-soviet RU army got its first combat experience in bloody Chechen wars. It suffered heavy losses combating a small group of motivated Chechen fighters fighting for their freedom.

What I did to destroy Russian pantonne bridge over Siverskyi Donets - a thread 🧵

Here you go -> -> ->
The context:

I am UA military engineering + EOD officer. I have served one turn in Donbas prior to the recent invasion.

Recently, I have accomplished a mission which made huge impact on Russian losses and completely screwed up their plans to encircle Lysychansk.
Initially, there was intelligence from frontline units that there are Russians on the other side of the river and they gather various vehicles. So, my commander asked on 6th May me as one of the best military engineers to do engineering reconnaissance on Siverskyi Donets river

It's crazy, sometimes I forget what it's like to live without war. When I see ruined cities, corpses, when I sleep on the floor in ruined houses or in the woods, I think it's normal.
When I see photos from cities where life is bustling and there is no war, I understood I forget life before war. This is not normal, but it is real. It is extremely difficult for me to imagine how children who survived the horrors of war feel.
I have been in the army since I was 17, before the war I took part in an operation in eastern Ukraine, I was as ready as possible for the war, but what I see now in the occupied cities hurt my soul.
