Military expert Petr Chernik said this on the air of an information marathon, Channel 24 reports.
Chernik stated that the enemy is not going to surrender, so the battles will probably be extremely difficult.
Regarding Kherson itself, in my opinion, the best siege tactic is to turn Kherson Mariupol is not correct,” he explained.
The military expert is confident that the Russians will not retreat. Most likely, the invaders will fall into the cauldron and surrender.
Will there be destruction
Once captured, the Russians will obviously resort to their usual tactics – the destruction and destruction of everything in the city . However, according to the expert, if this process is approached correctly from a tactical point of view, then this grouping is doomed without logistics and support.
Why is the strike on the Antonovsky Bridge important
On July 20, the British Ministry of Defense intelligence explained that the bridge is extremely important for the logistics of the Russian army. In this way, Russia can secure or even withdraw its troops from the territory that it was able to capture west of the river.
The lower Dnieper is a natural barrier with a waterway width of about a thousand meters . Control of the Dnieper crossings is likely to be a key factor in the outcome of the fighting in the region. – British intelligence analysts emphasized.
A similar opinion was expressed by military analyst Oleg Zhdanov after the strike on the Antonovsky Bridge on July 26. He stressed that the destruction of the Antonovsky bridge “would greatly complicate the logistics of the enemy, which would not allow them to fully feed their groups around Kherson.” After all, this is practically the point on which direct transport links with the temporarily occupied Crimea depend.
Colonel of the SBU and People's Deputy Roman Kostenko told Real Time that a complete cut-off of enemy troops in Kherson is indeed possible. However, this requires the destruction of more than just one Antonovskiy bridge.
