Ukrainian Forces Seize Strategic Advantage In Kursk Region Offensive

Ukrainian aviation is actively operating.

Military expert, reserve officer of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Andriy Kramarov told Radio NV about the new offensive of the Defence Forces in the Kursk region:

— As far as I know, at the moment, Ukrainian tactical aviation is already very active there, that is, strikes are being carried out.

We were able to find the moment very well. In these last few days, the Russians have been preparing a certain rotation in this direction. Those units that went there, which tried to oust us from this Sudzha bridgehead since the end of the summer, suffered significant losses and they already needed both reinforcement and partial rotation.

The adventure with these Korean soldiers [from North Korea - Ed.] did not end well at all. I can tell you that we just went out and shot them off, like in a dash at a training ground, that's all. That is, they even did not exert any pressure there, not that they would strengthen [the army of the Russian Federation]. The only thing they could somehow use – in the operational rear for low-skilled labor as loaders. There was no sense in involving them.

There was a moment [for the offensive of the Defence Forces]. The first information appeared that it was in the Kursk region that a Russian convoy was broken on the approach to the front line. That is, it was the Russian convoy that was supposed to provide and carry out rotation in the frontline zone. It was dealt a very high-quality accented blow.

We understand that, probably, some of the troops have already left, the other, which was supposed to enter this territory, was defeated at the entrance. As a result, we got a situation when the Russians had a gap on the front line.

I understand, having certain reserves in this territory... At the moment, reserves in this area have been used, which are now being transferred to the Kursk region, in order to ensure our advance.

We probably do not need to expect any significant territorial acquisitions. Still, we need to adhere to the same tactics and strategy that we had from the very beginning of this offensive. That is, we advance until the enemy (due to the complexity of its logistics and the slowness of making managerial decisions in its army) begins to pull up real combat-ready units there.

Perhaps [it will be] those who have withdrawn from this territory. They will be somehow quickly strengthened and simply thrown back, conditionally, to the same positions. Conditionally, because we will partially occupy them.

Operational and tactical command, which is carried out by our troops there, they guessed quite well with this moment. And yes, now we are making some progress, but we need to have very modest expectations.

As for the political [component]. Of course, we need to have some territory that we can expose in the negotiations on our part, as an element for bargaining. On the other hand, let's also not forget how successful the enemy has been, especially in the last three months, in the Donetsk region. And here is also the question — the correct distribution of our efforts: will we be able to occupy such territory of the Kursk region that will be adequate to the captured territory of the Donetsk region?
