Thats a funny way to phrase it.
Excerpt:
> *Military analyst Yigal Levin explained how Ukraine’s guerrilla-style raids to gather intelligence emulate Israel’s storied operations against regional foes.*
>
> In an interview with Radio NV, Yigal Levin, an officer in the Israeli Defense Forces and military analyst, discussed the value of raids in modern warfare and Ukraine’s recent successful operation across the Dnipro River.
>
> Levin pointed to famous Israeli raids like Operation Raviv in 1969, when nearly 100 tanks raided Egypt to destroy artillery threatening Israeli villages. “It was a raid, tank crews felt like special forces,” Levin explained. “They executed tasks, gathered intelligence, set ambushes, then withdrew.”
>
> “Raids are a type of combat,” Levin explained. “You don’t occupy territory. You can have large forces, even tank units, but the goal is to complete certain tasks – destroy targets, gather intelligence, set ambushes – and then withdraw.”
>
> According to Levin, raids happen frequently in wars, but many go unreported publicly. He believes Ukraine regularly conducts raids in Russian-occupied areas. “Do Ukrainian forces go on raids there? Yes, constantly, since last year,” he said, citing operations by various Ukrainian units, including the Ukrainian Intelligence, the Army, Special Operations Forces, the Foreign Legion, and volunteer battalions.
>
> Often they stay on Russian-controlled territory for a long time, destroy enemy troops, and take prisoners, Levin says, adding that this includes occupied Crimea and that Ukraine’s General Staff says nothing about these operations.
No, they don’t. Russian bases and ammo dumps are very safe. In fact they are so safe units should congregate in their thousands – to get together, drink and relax. Maybe sit outside to listen to some inspirational speeches from their commanders while sitting outside and enjoying the sun. Very good for the health.
I’m still waiting for Ukraine to get the balls to flank russian defenses through Russian territory. It’s obvious Russia doesn’t think they need to defend their border.
Interesting read!
One small “typo”:
>With the natural barrier of the Dnipro River, **Russia** would have to move large numbers of troops across, which Levin sees no evidence of yet.
The author means Ukraine moving troops across
Mossad route has been chosen
