Russia began to conduct military operations “according to science,” - Ukrainian colonel
Russia conducts classic military operations and conducts military operations in Ukraine “according to science.”
Retired SBU Colonel Oleg Starikov stated this on air on propagandist Alexander Shelest's video blog, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
According to Starikov, the preparatory “air” stage is now underway for a large ground operation, which could begin by the end of summer.
“The Russian Federation, that is, their Armed Forces began to conduct military operations based on science... What is really happening now? In the first quarter, forces and assets are being built up on the line of combat contact in each direction. Strategic reserves are being built up and prepared. It is strategic reserves not to counteract NATO countries in the western direction, but namely the Russian-Ukrainian war. These formations will be completed and somewhere at the end of the 1st half of the year, by August they will be ready to conduct combat operations... This is the ground component. But during the same period, in the 1st quarter, they were conducting a full-fledged classic air operation. At the initial stage, it involved the destruction of air defense systems, airfields, in March they began to hit the energy structure, and now the gas one... If the energy industry - trains, cargo transportation, military transportation - are all carried out by electric traction. No one is doing this now to put steam locomotives there, as they did under Chapaev. That's why they knock it out. Why is this being done? So that we cannot bring up and transport our strategic reserves,” Starikov said.
