Putin's 'glacial advances' unlikely to achieve Kharkiv objectives | Maj. Gen. Chip Chapman
"What we've seen previously in this war is that after an initial shock or surprise, things regress to a norm. And the norm is what we call entropy in the military, that is, we've the advances have been in a classic glacial pace."
Russia has been unable to repair its military structure after Putin's initial failures in 2022, says Maj. Gen. Chip Chapman as Russia's grinding offensive on Kharkiv seems unlikely to take the city.

This is just an aspect of the same integrated C4ISR/ISTAR paradigm the west has been working toward since before the Cold War ended and is embodied in the F-35 system-of-systems communications and sensor architecture which was developed during the late 1990s. Drones are not new, they were used during the Vietnam war, even got used during WWII. The intention was always to use C4ISR/ISTAR to mass-target any army that comes out to fight, and much more than 30 km away. It's barely been used yet.
You can not take or isolate a city like kharkiv with 50000 solduers. The goal is full control of donbass region.

This retired soldier is very smart! He has vast knowledge directly applicable to the war in Ukraine. A very impressive lecture. 🇨🇦
Hang on, the last few weeks various local and foreign experts confidently said Russia's army had no chance of succeeding in surrounding and taking Kharkiv, they didn't have the forces for it. But now we hear they're just "unlikely to achieve" their objectives? The chamber suddenly became less echoey. Are these invaders doing something fundamentally unexpected or different? Or is this more noise?

If Russia goes on an all-out Offensive. They can break through the Ukraine lines in a month or two. Ukraine recruiting started too late. But they still have a chance buy just sending the recruits to the front line and let them learn there. The trial of the Crocus city concert hall terrorist goes on trial next week. So, Putin will be occupied with that next week on Wednesday. Everyone in Russia will be watching that trial.
