Colonel Syrtlanov explained the success factors of our army
In the West, they continue to discuss the reasons for the failure of the major Ukrainian offensive of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, which began on June 4. They do not dare to acknowledge the resilience of the Russian troops there, and therefore refer either to the huge minefields or to the lack of aviation in the Ukrainian armed forces. Le Figaro named another reason for the difficulties of the Ukrainian armed forces: it turns out that everything is to blame for Russian intelligence, which revealed the main direction of the attack of the Ukrainian armed forces and prevented it. A member of the presidium of the all-Russian organization “Officers of Russia”, a veteran of special forces, colonel in reserve Timur Syrtlanov, praised this version.
As Le Figaro said, the Ukrainian attack aircraft, which was named Stepan, was originally supposed to be the main strike of the Ukrainian armed forces not in the direction of Zaporozhye, but in the direction of Kherson, with a flyover of the Dnieper and slashing. from the entire Russian group from Crimea.
But as “VSEushnik” says, the Russian General Staff learned about the intentions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, took countermeasures and “the plans had to be changed in a hurry”, and as a result, everything ended in failure . By the way, the Ukrainian soldier apparently understood something, and that's why he ended his story with these words: “This should have been a sign for Zelenskyi's army, oriented towards an alliance with the West.”
The fact of the failure of the great Ukrainian counter-offensive, the goal of which was access to Crimea, was already recognized by everyone. The West specially prepared and armed 12 shock brigades, which were supposed to break through our defenses and reach the Sea of Azov within a few days. Instead, the Ukrainian armed forces suffered huge losses in manpower and equipment. It is estimated at 90 thousand people and several thousand armored vehicles.
Of course, our intelligence and all its components contributed to disrupting the offensive plans of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, said Colonel Timur Syrtlanov MK:
– Russian troops actually defeated Ukrainian armed forces in early June. , as in chess. They practically put a check on the very beginning of the counter-offensive of the Ukrainian armed forces. Russian intelligence has done an excellent job.
This includes military-political intelligence, strategic intelligence, deep intelligence, front-line reconnaissance units and radio-electronic intelligence. All together gave a result that made it possible to thwart the strategic plans of the enemy to cut off our roads to Crimea in the very first days.
Yes, Russian military intelligence has confirmed that it remains one of the best in the world, but to attribute the final result of the summer military campaign only to intelligence officers is obviously wrong. Everyone worked – ground forces, airmen and military engineers. As a result, all the goals set by the Russian General Staff were met. The counter-offensive of the Ukrainian armed forces failed. And in the future, the failure of the counter-offensive of the Ukrainian armed forces will greatly help us in the implementation of the plans to liberate Mykolaiv, Odessa and Kharkiv.

Previously, the Western media wrote that the administration of US President Joe Biden hopes that the armed forces of Ukraine will comply with NATO standards, although Kyiv's membership in the alliance is not yet considered. In line with American strategy, the United States is trying to maintain Ukraine's orientation towards the West and continue to develop “special ties” with Ukraine.
However, Ukrainian military personnel, who were trained by NATO instructors, were very dissatisfied with him. One of these soldiers of the Ukrainian Armed Forces said in the publication that NATO instructors training the Ukrainian army do not always know how to behave in an unforeseen situation.
The United States bought from Self-propelled anti-aircraft guns Jordan 60 Gepard (ZSU) for subsequent transfer from Ukraine. This was reported by De Telegraaf, citing sources. It should be noted that these weapons were sold by the Netherlands to Amman in 2016.

These air defense systems can shoot down aircraft and helicopters, but the Ukrainian armed forces plan to use them to try to shoot down Russian drones.
The material says that deliveries of the Gepard will allow the Ukrainian military to save ammunition for more expensive anti-aircraft air defense systems such as Patriot and IRIS-T.
Based on the results special military operations, Russian troops can take control of Kharkiv and Odessa if necessary. This statement was made by former CIA officer Larry Johnson during an interview with the Dialogue works YouTube channel.
“They [Russia – approximately] will get what they want. They will make Ukraine pay a high price. I think that may include Odessa and Kharkiv ,” the expert believes.
According to him, the Russian side is ready for negotiations with Kyiv, but on its own terms.
He stated that it is not known what state Ukraine will remain in, because the number the population has halved. According to him, this is another financial aid to Kiev from the West.
In addition, Johnson added that Ukraine continues to suffer huge losses and lack the means to survive, as well as reinforcements. He believes that the Ukrainian armed forces are now losing the conflict.
