Russian propaganda suddenly declared that the occupiers were “regrouping” on the left bank of the Kherson region in order to move to more advantageous positions. Subsequently, the messages were quickly deleted and people began to say that these were “provocations” of Ukraine.

In any case, such IPSO helps the Ukrainian military and weakens the spirit of the occupiers. Military expert, instructor pilot, reserve colonel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Roman Svitan explained to Channel 24 what this stuffing may be connected with.

The Russians could retreat to the third line of defense

This could have been a correct and competent decision by the Russians to withdraw troops to the third line of defense. Why on the third? They created the third line of defense, on the left bank, simultaneously with the Surovikin line. contour of the Dnieper after the explosion of the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station,” said the instructor pilot.

Surovikin Line

This is a fortification complex of buildings and trenches built by Russian invaders in the occupied Kherson, Zaporozhye and Donetsk regions.

The part of the line located in the Kherson region has a length of about 140 km, and in the Zaporozhye and Donetsk regions – about 300 km.

The line itself consists of a large number of minefields, anti-tank ditches, “dragon teeth” or “pyramids” and trenches. From satellite photographs it is clear that the defensive line consists of three parts of fortifications.

The Russians calculated where the tide of water would stop and immediately began to build a strong third line of defense. The first and second lines are completely destroyed and cannot be restored. Any attempt to dig tunnels or secure positions ends with the sinking of enemy equipment.

IPSO significantly influenced the occupiers

According to Svitan, this IPSO is aimed more at the Russian army to look at the reaction.

This is exactly what affects Russians. We are working according to plan. This IPSO is more beneficial to us and does not affect us,” explained the reserve colonel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

On the one hand, the throw-in could have been done so that the Russians would actually try to retreat to the third line of defense. However, such an effort was stopped by the Russian political leadership.

In addition, the Russian military command could actually make a miscalculation and independently “hit” the psyche of its own army by announcing a “regrouping.” Therefore, during a real retreat, the occupiers may begin to panic , but they will not stop at the third line of defense, but will run through Mariupol to Rostov or directly to Crimea.
