잡게에 누가 그런 글 올렸더라구요.
그런데 최근 뉴욕타임스엔 전혀 다른 기사가
올라왔습니다.
헤르손주 전장에서 어느정도 우크라이나가
반격 하긴 했으나 여전히 러시아가 압도적
중화기, 탄약 우위를 점하고 있다네요.
그래서, 막대한 인적물적 손실 없인
우크라이나가 크게 전진할 수 없단 거구요.
스코틀랜드 소재 대학 전략연구 교수
필립 오브라이언은 제공권을 완전히
장악 하고 아군의 진군 경로 방해물을
싹 쓸어낼 능력 없인 우크라이나군이
큰 위험에 처하게 될 거라 했구요.
그리고, 아래 헤르손주 지형에서
보시듯이 우크라이나군이 헤르손시로
가는 경로는 완만한 들판이 길게
이어져서 탈환 한다고 전차부대
몰고갔다간 다 박살날 지형입니다.
Ukraine Chips Away at Russian-Held Region, but Task Is Daunting
2022.08.15
But in the sunbaked fields along the Kherson Region’s western border,
the Ukrainian fighters who would be called on to deliver the knockout
blow in any successful effort to retake territory remain pinned down
in their trenches.
The cuts to supply lines have not yet eroded Moscow’s overwhelming
advantage in artillery, ammunition and heavy weaponry, making it difficult,
if not impossible, for Ukrainian forces to press forward without suffering
enormous casualties.
“Without question we need a counteroffensive; I sincerely believe it will
come,” said a 33-year-old lieutenant with the call sign Ada, who
commands an outpost of trenchworks in the Mykolaiv region, a few miles
from the Russian lines in Kherson.
But he said: “We need the advantage in numbers, we need the advantage
in heavy weapons. Unfortunately, this is a bit of a problem for us.”
Russia maintains overwhelming superiority in troop numbers and ammunition,
and in recent weeks the Kremlin has moved to reinforce its military in the
region, shifting resources there from the fighting in the eastern Donbas.
“The real limitations the Ukrainians face is that moving forward in the combat
environment today is really difficult,” said Phillips P. O’Brien, a professor of
strategic studies at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland.
“Unless you have total command of the skies and the ability to clear out the
area in front of your troops, those moving forward are in real danger of
getting eaten away.”
