There have been 6 battles of Kharkiv, which is far more than the average for a single place. In this video we will look, why Khakriv is so important.

The author of the report deliberately photographed Kharkiv from the Ukrainian borders only, but it is surrounded on two sides by Russian territory, which Russia can easily encircle from the north and east. Now in the winter stage we have entered the stage of logistics. Snow in Ukraine is cumulative, meaning it falls on top of each other, and therefore only public roads are suitable, and this is a big problem for pedestrians on both sides.

I think video is quite informative beyond its niche. Most people know being the attacker in an Urban setting sucks, but few (including I) have never considered urban conglomerations and how you move your forces in or around said city zones. There’s certainly no shortage of major cities a stones toss away from multiple mid sized cities.

@Zogerpogger Жыл бұрын
Yes, I found the video to be interesting. I think the talk of Urban-conglomerations applies to many hypothetical situations. For instance there are many individuals, or at least there used to be, who argued that just taking Moscow would have been the coup-de-grace to the USSR in 1941. The whole question of whether taking Moscow would have won the war for Germany is one thing (I don't think it would have), but the issue in that statement implied by this video is with the "taking Moscow" bit. Those who argue for this see that a German unit was within 18km, or something like that, and think "If things had been a little different and the main force had been able to advance a few dozen more km, they could have won". This I think is especially prevalent in documentaries and such which try to make it seem very dramatic and as if everything hung on a thread, when in reality taking the city of Moscow would have been a huge undertaking in-and-of-itself even if they had reached it. Looks like I went on another comment section ramble again when I have work to do...I just thought this example was an interesting illustration of how people sometimes don't consider urban geography and infrastructure when considering hypotheticals. *que massive argument about unrelated topic in the replies*

How interesting, right now (May 2024) there are already loads of people who write that Kharkiv has no military significance whatsoever. Exactly like what they wrote about Bakhmut and Avdiivka, first that they were adamant fortresses, and next - that they had no significance anyway. It’s be very interesting to watch the progress of the Russian army in the next few weeks, and that of the commentaries

As always, it's a "key" and "impenetrable" fortress until the Russian army captures it, immediately after which the location in all media is referred to exclusively as "insignificant, of no interest or value." Ukrainian telegram channels have already begun to delete their posts where they said that Kharkov has the strongest defense in all of Ukraine.

​@D James no, the russians have an inadequate ground army to complete the task, because it's too small, poorly armed, with few modern tanks that don't have active protection systems, and their air force was unable to establish air supremacy over Ukraine because they have no STEALTH fighters or EW planes! If they had had them, they would have suppressed air defenses and started a strategic bombing campaign over factories and objects to pave the way for ground forces to go in more easily, and do it without using expensive missile systems like Iskander... of which they only have 300 or so. They haven't invested enough in their military, even when they knew since 2014 there would have been a war with NATO, and by not upgrading the army they are now in a difficult situation! Even now they are just spending only 4-5% of their GDP for the military, when Ukraine spends 30,000,000,000$ + 20,000,000,000$ worth of foreign military aid yearly, so about 40% of their GDP goes to the military... 50 billions spent by Ukraine vs 80 billions spent by Russia, and that's not enough to win an attrition war.
@LUCA-CASADEI
@LUCA-CASADEI Жыл бұрын
@D James they also lack the size and the organization to complete the task. When Ukraine is able to supply 500,000 troops and Russia only 300,000, they can't advance. They best they can hope for is that the enemies run out of ammunition or run out of men, but that's not going to happen soon! And they can be supplied with ammo by NATO countries that are setting up a powerful war industry to supply Ukraine.

I suppose that we could label it as a single battle with 3 different phases, just like it was in the WW2; the first phase is attack of the one side, the second is a stalemate and the third is an opponents' counterattack.

The logic here is at the beginning of the War Ukraine fought a defensive action within the city limits of Kharkiv. In September they fought to completely liberate the entirety of Kharkiv Oblast. I believe they should both carry the name "Kharkiv" in relation to the Battle of Kharkiv, and as the Kharkiv Counter-Offensive.

Considering that the two wars took place about 60 years apart, it's not that surprising. There were no jet fighters, combat helicopters, satellite imagery, or computers and radio communication was completely brand new. Plus, there's always the chance in war that your opponent is dumber than his grandfather was. That said, it's kinda scary how Donbas and Kharkiv have the same strategic relationship as a "fortress and ravelin".

As a citizen of Kharkiv, I can tell that we were afraid russians would occupy the city pretty quickly considering it is near the border, but after the first week, it became clear they can not break in (actually they managed but it was a suicidal mission), so they just started to shell city with artillery. Barbaric tactics to destroy what you can't gain.
