Inside Ukraines Offensive, What Happened?

Once more unto the breach, dear friends. The Ukraine offensive was launched on Sunday June 4th 2023 on at least four sectors at the same time. This is a massive effort to breach Russian defenses along the over 1,000 km long front line. Ukraine aims to retake their territory and drive a wedge between Russia’s Land bridge in the south.
But was this an overly ambitious and unrealistic goal?
Well If you’re rooting for Russia, your view of the offensive so far is likely that Ukrainian forces' assault has slammed into an impenetrable Russian wall. You’ll point to Russian figures that Ukraine has lost 7,000 soldiers and 160 tanks and 360 armored vehicles destroyed including viral videos of destroyed fancy western vehicles.

• Woke Military is Worse...

If you’re rooting for Ukraine you likely believe the full counter offensive has yet to begin and only 1/4th of the 9 to 12 assault brigades have even been committed to the fight. You Probably think this movement will take time and look less like a sweeping victory and more like a creeping one.
I’m going to parse through the front line reports and try to look past the fog of war and look past the propaganda on both sides to see if we can get a better sense of what is really happening. We’ll look at NATO documents that I found that detail western breaching theory tactics and citrine. I want to see if it can give us some hints it might give us about how the offensive is progressing so far.

[@stephengrinkley9889]

I remember my uncle (a retired CSM as well as Vietnam & ODS Veteran) once told me that Desert Storm spoiled Americans into thinking all wars are or should be little video game conflicts that wrap up in about 72 hours. In the real world, conflicts against two fairly evenly matched armies look a lot like this...a chess match that test the competency and will of units from the brigade level all the way down to the squad and team level. Basically who is more competent in using the terrain to their advantage, shaping the battlefield, and exploiting the enemy's weaknesses. And lastly...who wants it more. Who has the will to fight through the misery and death to finally achieve their goal. So for these reasons, IMHO the AFU is doing exactly what they are supposed to be doing right now.

[@bkayser05]

Excellent comments, I would also add that the Russian Army has had an entire winter to build a defense in depth and despite Russians lackluster abilities in some areas they are generally pretty competent at building defensive positions. These positions are going to take a longer time for the Ukrainian military to break through, especially since Ukraine isn't going to needlessly throw their most well trained soldiers into a meat grinder to try to manufacture a larger victory or reinforce failure. It's also important to remember that sometimes it's possible to do everything right and still lose, the loss of the Bradley's and Leopard's were certainly not a perfectly executed retreat but even when things go well it's still possible to lose. Say for example, in the Battle of 73 Easting, everyone talks about how brilliant the then Captain McMaster and his tank and Bradley crews were but people tend to forget one Bradley was also lost to enemy fire. In war, you can have a dominant victory, you can have a technological advantage, you can have the element of surprise, but all of the advantages mean nothing to those soldiers' families if just one enemy squad gets a good shot off. Sadly that is the nature of warfare and people are quick to forget that every piece of ground won, frequently required men or women to lose their lives to take it.

[@theofficialken1755]

Biggest problem with a normal NATO breakthrough is that this is not a NATO army, regardless of current equipment. When the US punched into Iraq we established air dominance and crushed armor. Ukraine cannot make large equipment and troop concentrations due to Russian Air superiority, as well as being outgunned in artillery (not to mention mines). Unfortunately it will probably be more attritional until a breaking point of lack of artillery support and breaking air superiority. Unless they get F-16s soon, the pace of reclaiming territory will be slow.

[@Rimasta1]

To be fair Russia doesn’t have air superiority. Neither side does and that’s why it looks like WW1 with modern weapons. Sure they’ll bring in aircraft and launch successful strikes but Ukrainian air defenses are still denying them air superiority over the battlefield.

[@True-Sea-Turtle]

​@@Rimasta1Ka 52 helicopters are doing some work tho

[@theofficialken1755]

@@Rimasta1 they definitely have air superiority, not air dominance. Superiority means more assets available, and Russias are mostly attack helicopters which specialize in tanks and armor. Dominance is taking out planes on the runways and elimination of air defense as well. Russia has superiority, but can't advance with it due to layered air defense. If Ukraine gets the 16s they can establish superiority, but won't be able to establish air dominance because Russia has air bases in nearby oblasts and neighboring Belarus. It's part of the reason you are seeing more helicopters downed lately and use of glide bombs to extend range from air defenses.

[@AHalz]

What makes you think F-16s will do any good? Especially against S-300 and S-400 layered defense, and when Russian AWACS can detect Ukrainian planes from hundreds of miles away? This is the same saying as ‘these Western tanks will break the Russian lines.’ And these tanks are now burning. Those F-16s will be shot down well before they can establish any type of air superiority.

[@tallest4eva]

F-16s wouldn't grant Ukraine air superiority magically. It would just make the air contest more balanced. Air superiority means suppressing enemy aircraft and anti-air assets (including shoulder-fired anti-air). Honestly, I doubt air superiority can be achieved by Ukraine this close to Russia.

[@robertbeach6965]

From an old retired combat engineer, any breaching efforts will need to be focused on specific objectives along several axis of advance. Shaping of the battlefield through massive artillery, air support use and deception will be critical. A Point of penetration will be identified and will be the focus in that sector. The engineers must be prepared to conduct several breaches in depth and that will eat up a huge amount of equipment and munitions. A few destroyed Bradlie's are not indicative of any serious breaching effort. These are small probes at best. The entire "front" will need to be engaged while the respective points of penetration are executed. Air power will need to be engaged for success. God Bless them All.

Agree I don't see why anyone is surprised at a few Bradley's getting knocked out - it's a porper peer war they're not invulnerable.

Give them all the tech you want, fighting a war against a country with the wealth of natural resources and population that Russia has, right on their doorstep no less, is nearly impossible with Ukraine's manpower and resources. Russia is literally operating from their own soil and have direct access to the battlefield from their soil. He even insinuates in this video that it's possible that Ukraine may have had an "ace up their sleeve" and didn't send in all of their troops at the time of making this video - no, they didn't and no one living in reality thought that. Ukraine has a massive manpower issue and the demographic collapse that is going to follow this war in Ukraine is going to be staggering; they've lost an entire generation of young men. You also never see anyone cheerleading for Ukraine also showing the videos or reports covering the Ukrainians shelling their own neighborhoods or forcing people with severe medical conditions, or people who are just too old, into conscription. You only hear about it when Russia does and I think it's a crime no matter the side. I'm rooting for civilians when it comes to any war and both sides have committed atrocities against civilians of both countries, but Ukraine gets a pass because they're on our team all of a sudden, even though five years ago all the US/Western media said about Ukraine was they have a big nazi problem and an even bigger corruption problem.

With Overlord, we had the entire Soviet army on our side (their offensive started June 21, 1944 and it remains the greatest defeat suffered by any army in history). If the German panzer divisions deployed against the Soviets in the East had instead been available in the West, we’d have gotten pushed into the English Channel. We also had total air superiority. The Ukrainians have none of that. Just some loaned western equipment and a few months training. There’s simply no comparing the combat power of the combined forces of the USA, Soviet Union and Britain circa 1944 with the meager forces (by comparison) that the Ukrainians have available.

Breaching operations is one of the most difficult operations that a Maneuver unit can do. Ukraine is missing part of the combined arms operations , air superiority and artillery superiority.

My rough, uneducated, take is that Ukraine was ready to go but the first groups of heavy probing attacks (vs reconnaissance in force) or first wave of breaching attacks and hit more resistance (be it tactics, air power, manpower, etc.) than they were thinking they'd encounter. This is causing them to pull back most of what was directly committed and hold back the rest of their forces until they can figure out a new strategy.

A battalion is around 30 tanks while a brigade is about 100 tanks. Ukraine is likely using the battalion-sized Task Force/Battle Groups initially designed for recon, which explains the BFV with a T-64. Later, once the OP4's artillery support has been downgraded, which allows COF these Battle Groups should be redesigned for breaching operations.

[@trogdortpennypacker6160]

Uhh leaked documents say all of the new Ukrainian offensive brigades have no more than 30 tanks. We literally have the composition of all the new offensive brigades man. Do your homework my man.

[@CmacKw]

by definition and according to standard TO&E, if a brigade has only 30 tanks, it is a mec/mot infantry brigade with two to five infantry battalions and an attached tank battalion with 30 tanks using the old Soviet-style TO&E of 9 to 10 tanks per each of three companies and not the western 12 to 16 tanks per company. Nonetheless, this ratio of 1 tank to five infantry bats prevents COF, is inefficient, wasteful, and is not at all good for offensive operations. I have to call total BS on this. Furthermore, it's very unlikely Ukraine is broadcasting to the Russians how they are organizing their bats into brigade-sized Battle Groups for recon and breaching operations before a major offensive begins, Comrade wannabe, please do your homework.

Huge sweeping Panzer thrusts, then the USSR, attacking at just the right time. No one can mass enough firepower without the other side seeing in. Satellites and drones make that impossible. One side will have to develop the means to break the link in communications of the drones. Just as in WW1, the aircraft were sent up to attack recon planes from the other side. They will have to make Hunter-Killer drones. Using AI drones released in mass with the assignment to destroy other drones. Maybe using lazers or microwave weapons to take out the drones.
