  1. facts…ukr armor is now on the left bankthe UKR forces have a drone blocker on the river now and the russians are saying they cant use FPV drones to block the ukr forces.facing the UKR marines are mobics without vehicles or proper gearrussians are in a state of panic around the area.ukraine has 10-20 vehicles like this that can bring vehicles over.

  6. The Russian forces on the west bank of the Dnipro were bled dry by Ukraine because there was a river between them and their resupply.

    I hate to be a downer, but unless Ukraine can rebuild a bridge and keep it intact – which seems mighty in doubt – I don’t see how Ukraine will be able to support any meaningful offensive operation on the east bank.

    At best it seems Ukraine might draw off sufficient Russian forces from the main line of contact to weaken it enough to achieve gains in the Tokmak/Melitopol direction.

  7. Problem isn’t just drones, but actual helicopters and planes based in Crimea. Then on top of that, logistics.

  8. so, whilst everyone is acting all super shocked about this.

    did ya’ll forget these things doing what they do during the battle of severodonetsk?

    did ya’ll forget already how ukraine forced the oskil river, created 3 bridgeheads, linked them up and then pushed on after the kharkiv thunder run?

    ​

    like, how is this shocking or news to people that ukraine has these vehicles? when ukraine lays a kilometer long pontoon bridge with all the shit that’s been sent from various countries and what ukraine already had in stock, are ya’ll gonna be surprisedpikachu.jpeg too?

  9. I noted in a comment several weeks ago when the incursions on the south side became more “real” that Ukraine actually possesses a large amount of boat capacity. They have received hundreds of boats including landing craft that easily can transit armor from one side to the other.

    Some are making a point that it would be difficult to keep up resupply. Not when you have 20+ craft that can scoot over tracked units, hundreds of boats that can carry 20+ soldiers per boat, and a channel that literally takes 2 minutes to cross at multiple points as it is only 300 to 800 meters across with many, many landing docks on both sides.

    In a way it is better than a bridge as there is not one focal point that can be attacked.

    America alone donated over 100 Riverine warfare boats that are heavily armed and can easily plunk 2 platoons per crossing with all their gear, and these are fast – crossings are done in minutes.

    I do not see it to be an issue to place 5k men plus gear and keep them supplied. And if they have signal blockers, counter battery, and good drone (all of which seems to be the case) they can push the enemy far enough from the river that they improve their depth of position and options.

    Next will be to threaten from the direction of the spit, I wonder about the feasibility of crossing from Stanslave to say Vynohadne although I might be tempted to run around the backside and attack at Ochakis’ke.

    I think Ukraine has lots of options in the area and it may be time for some creative thinking. The enemy forces in the area are not 1st tier nor are they full strength nor are they well equipped. Several are BARS units for example – part time volunteers with mediocre equipment.

  11. Wait until the M1s magically arrive on that side of the river.
