Ukraine is planning a counteroffensive against Russia. Can it succeed?
Ukraine's president Volodymyr Zelenskyy has suggested a counteroffensive may be launched this year. But to plan, prepare and execute such a strategy will be an enormous undertaking with three key challenges, writes Mick Ryan.www.abc.net.au
I suppose it depends upon the objectives/scale. Nothing wrong with counteroffensives so long as people don't expect a war winning outcome from it in one go.Jeez, you'd think they'd have learned the dangers of gum-flapping after last summer's bog-down.

I think they will. That said, in this war with the persistence of drones etc, I don't think any preparations, even for local counteroffensives, will be able to be prevented.I think it's wiser to leave one's enemy guessing about one's intentions.

Not disagreeing though as I said, I think the drone situation does make it difficult.The advantage of Ukraine's position is that with their interior lines, forces may be relocated and redeployed into unexpected directions rather quickly, for either offense or defense. Better to let the enemy wonder the purposes of such concentrations, in my opinion.

But they do make it harder to hide preparations.Drones don't make it any harder to keep opsec.

My thought exactly. It's information that everyone would be expecting.I don't believe that article or the comments from Zelensky give anything away.
