In the Donbas region, the Russian offensive is showing an unstoppable momentum, but surprisingly, the Russian mainland defense line has been lost. The Ukrainian side took a strategic move similar to that of Russia, launching a special military operation on Russian territory. The Ukrainian drones ran a long distance and successfully broke through the defense, and several drones penetrated deep into the airspace of Belgorod Oblast; At the same time, the artillery units of the Ukrainian army aimed their fire at the Kursk region, directly hit the Glushkovo railway station and carried out up to 9 intensive shellings.
Ukraine seems to have deeply realized the criticality of the battlefield layout, and realized that blindly entangled with the Russian army in the Donbas region, no matter how difficult the Russian army tries to break through the Ukrainian army's strong fortress group, because the battlefield is located in Ukrainian territory, the losses will inevitably be heavy on the Ukrainian side. As a result, the situation has changed significantly after the strategic adjustment.
At this moment, the Ukrainian drone has been able to smash directly into Huanglong and carry out precision strikes on targets in Russia, while Ukrainian artillery has also begun to aim and effectively attack targets in Russia. In the face of such challenges, one wonders: how will Russia respond to this new strategic landscape? At present, the main forces of the Russian army are focused on front-line operations, which makes some omissions in its rear defense. Taking this opportunity, if the Ukrainian army intensifies its offensive on the Russian mainland, it is expected that Russia will fall into the dilemma of fighting on two fronts and being tired of coping.
In addition, Ukraine has not only demonstrated the ability to attack areas close to the Russian-Ukrainian border, but also hinted at the possibility of launching surprise attacks into Russia's hinterland and even as far away as Siberia, which means that more Russian targets may face long-range strikes and tactical harassment by Ukrainian forces.
In the most recent incident, Samara Oblast, located in the southeast of Russia's Eastern European Plain, despite being separated from Ukraine and some distance from Ukraine, suffered a precision sneak attack in the early hours of the morning, and a railway bridge was blown up. The attack was quickly acknowledged by the Ukrainian side, which claimed that the railway bridge was a key passage for the Russian army to transport ** ammunition, connecting the important Paevsk military industrial production base.
Recall that at the end of last year, an important Far Eastern route called the Bai-Argentine Railway in the far eastern region of Siberia in Russia was also attacked, which is 5,000 kilometers away from Ukraine. At that time, Ukraine** chose to launch an attack at the critical moment when the train passed through the tunnel, which not only blew up the railway facilities, but also caused the train carrying fuel to be damaged and unable to evacuate quickly, thus causing a serious blockage of railway traffic.
In the face of Ukraine's endless sneak attacks, Russia is quite helpless. The main reason is that Russia has a vast territory and a vast territory, and no matter how Ukraine looks for flaws to carry out infiltration strikes, it is possible. In addition, Ukraine has the support of the United States and dozens of NATO countries behind it, and the Ukrainian army is well-equipped and has advanced positioning and information tracking technology, which can judge and launch attacks in advance. In order not to give Ukraine the opportunity to use flexible tactics, Russia has chosen the method of frontal positional warfare in the Donbass. However, it is indeed difficult for Russia to fully prevent Ukraine's sneak attack on the Russian mainland.
Nevertheless, judging by the comparison of losses, the losses suffered by Russia are within an acceptable range. Thanks to its huge territorial area and abundant resource reserves, Ukraine's sneak attack is more like a trivial harassment to Russia, with limited practical effects, and more just adding to Russia's troubles.
