But they were not near to driving Russia out, completely.



The called-off third attack is what got almost no coverage in the media, although it was a first serious indicator that not everything the Russians set up was incompetent and stupid. This Ukrainian attack they spoiled already back then - before they had started to establish profound ground defences.


Ukrianain field commanders say that what the Russian now do and set up in stiff resistence is extremely professionally orchestrated and competent., and that they are extremely quick now in identifiying even inividual vehicles moving inside firing range and take them out with artillery. They use very many observation drones. They react very fast. Ukrainians do not take them lightly... if they ever did...


Not all Russian officers are dumb. And those who survive, gain experience.

It must be me who has remembered things wrong.
