Enemy actions in the Kharkiv direction.

For days in the TG, everyone is excited by the idea that the failed actions of the formations of the Kyiv regime in the south are just a distracting maneuver, and the enemy has conceived a REAL offensive in the Kharkov region. In fact, everything is not quite right. The trouble with home analysts is that they do not have access to classified information, although they certainly try very hard to pass off open source work as insider information.

Indeed, against the backdrop of attacks in the south, the Kyiv regime was able to concentrate additional forces and means on the northern section of the LBS.

According to various sources, from one to two BTGrovs. "But it is not exactly". (With)

And here everything is like in the south. Polish version of the T-72. Heterogeneous wheeled and tracked APCs. The personnel, which was trained by the entire NATO world. The tactics are already clear: intelligence means reveal weaknesses on the front line, where we do not have a lot of forces and means.

It all starts with a fire destruction of communication lines with high-precision missile weapons, continues with massive artillery strikes on the front line, and assault detachments enter the battle. The events on the southern segment of the front have shown that everything is smooth only on paper.

The Armed Forces of Ukraine may try to play attacking combat operations in the Balakliya area. More precisely, between Izyum and Balakleya. But, for a deep advance, the Armed Forces of Ukraine do not have enough strength or the quality of combat control of these forces.

The Special Miitary Operation has already shown that no more than 200 people from BTGr are really moving forward. And despite the support of artillery and tanks, the barrage of artillery stops the bulk, and if the enemy goes to the line of defense to start a shooting battle, then the defending units either give the guests a cap or retreat so that the artillery can finish off the enemy. Local success in the course of actions of the regime formations is possible, but the Armed Forces of Ukraine will not be able to consolidate this success. The enemy lacks aviation, reserves and the quality of command and control for this.

We will observe how the next actions on the ground with a deplorable ending will be brought by the regime in the information field to a significant “overcome”.

As some may recall, that is a guaranteed method of getting squashed.
