Jeez, you'd think they'd have learned the dangers of gum-flapping after last summer's bog-down.

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.

In The Hottest Sector Of The Ukraine War, The Ukrainians Might Deploy As Many Drones As The Russians Deploy Soldiers

Despite staggering losses, Russia still has more tanks, more artillery and more troops than Ukraine has. What Russia doesn’t have more of, is drones.

I think it's wiser to leave one's enemy guessing about one's intentions.

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.

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.

Not disagreeing though as I said, I think the drone situation does make it difficult.

Drones don't make it any harder to keep opsec.

Drones don't make it any harder to keep opsec.

But they do make it harder to hide preparations.

But they do make it harder to hide preparations.

Obviously, but as I said, given Ukraine's internal lines of communication, determining the intentions of those forces could, and should, be made harder.

You never tip your hand unless it's part of deception.

I don't believe that article or the comments from Zelensky give anything away.

I don't believe that article or the comments from Zelensky give anything away.

My thought exactly. It's information that everyone would be expecting.
