Russian troops are desperate to cross Dnipro River in Kherson region at any cost, a Ukrainian colonel said. Russian invaders will try to create several bridgeheads on the right bank of the Dnipro River in the Kherson region. In their first attempt they were defeated, he explains.

1. A contested amphibious assault is quite literally the hardest thing a military can do. To attack prepared defences, when Russia doesn’t have air superiority and Ukraine are bringing more F-16s online, that’s madness 

2. I rate the chances of success to be zero. Ukraine has every advantage here and the ruzzian ability to undertake a crossing is vastly diminished versus their abilities at the outset of 2022.

   Putler set out as one of his new goals to take all of Kherson and Zap Oblasts. He will force the military to make the attempt as a means of applying diplomatic pressure, especially while he believes can have Trump push on his behalf for a negotiated settlement. That pressure is the purpose of the attacks.

   So if your a ruzzian soldier sent here at this time know you are purely a tool: fodder for diplomacy. Sadly for you Ukraine’s destiny is not in America’s hands and Putler’s goals, no matter how much elevated disinfo he pushes, have no chance of success.

3. “Desperate” is a hyperbole. The main offensive is very obviously towards Pokrovsk. Anyone paying attention since September knows that’s where the Russians are concentrating forces. Would they like to cross the Dinipro? Obviously. Is it pivotal to their overall offensive? Not remotely.

4. I dont need to tell Ukrainians this because they already know this, but let them……..let them put all that work into building an establishing a bridgehead, then send St ATACMS their way right when theyre almost done. Do that every single time

5. Bridges and rivers make for great siege points.

   The Russian army is not in sterling condition, and this is one of those situations where once again, Ukraine can just sit tight, put their own troops in armour, and let the Russians throw troops at them until the Captagon runs out.

   And every day this goes on, another refinery blows up or another ship sinks or another airfield goes down, or another general commits scootercide, and every day that Putin’s pride goes unchecked, the Russian economy boils alive a little more.

6. Seriously, how many men do they have? Like they kept coming like it’s nothing

7. I understand trying to achieve what the Ukrainians did when it was a ‘surprise’ and highly trained men were used.

   But, sending untrained men, in anticipated tactics, during the semi-frozen mud season, is helping one’s opponent.

8. I think the russian lines are desperately thin from pulling troops to the hotspots and theyre caught in a mind trap that the Ukrainians must also be thin in areas that have been quite.

   So they try small build ups and make pushes thinking they must be weak somewhere because theyre desperate to have a breakthrough and show progress, and it doesnt work.

9. Thats going to go as bad for Russia as it went for Ukraine.

10. Stop the bastards.

11. Ukraine should do the following – 500-1000 drones to moscow. Any EW is good for the drones some of them will crash on residential some of them in other areas some of them will reach the point. I’m just wishing and waiting for this to happen.
