The offensive on the Kursk direction could become a decisive factor in the war between Russia and Ukraine, as it opens up new opportunities for Ukrainian troops. The author, political strategist Oleksiy Kurpas, notes that tactical innovations and potential control over the Kursk nuclear power plant could significantly affect the course of the conflict.
The offensive in the Kursk direction has certain interesting nuances that I would like to draw attention to, because this could become a fairly important factor in the Russian-Ukrainian war. I'll start with the global…
Let's be honest, the Russians have practically swallowed the Ukrainian response in silence. Apart from the drunkard Medvedev, no one has made any statements, and even China is silent about "territorial integrity", or is it already pulling its army to the border? This factor raises the level of danger in all Russian regions and, if events develop in our favor, will play against the Russian authorities (although with their level of police state, wrong ideas are beaten out with clubs).
For the first time in two and a half years of war, Ukrainian soldiers have the tactical initiative, having actually seized it from the Russians (the main thing is to hold it now). This tactic has been used by the Russians since the beginning of 2023, when they forced the Ukrainians to reflect on different sections of the front line without the possibility of real planning of military operations and effective use of reserves. Now the Russians have been forced to reflect in this way, and with the right strategy, this can give the effect of several breakthroughs in the Russian defense.
New tactics of using electronic warfare and FPV drones. We had a priority here from the first days of the war, but now, when the Russians are quickly learning to counteract our methods of fighting, I want to note the latest capabilities of our drone operators. Rusnya howls that they have already limited the use of helicopters, because the SBU drones shoot them down right in the air. That is, equipment worth under $ 20 million is shot down by a Ukrainian invention worth thousands of times cheaper. It is generally an interesting story that it was the Security Service of Ukraine during the time of Malyuk that became a real innovator in this war, first changing the situation in the Black Sea in our favor, and now it can also solve the issue of air supremacy.
Well, it is still in question, but the Kursk NPP factor is possible. If it can be taken under control, it will become a good bargaining chip in negotiations about the Zapadnaya NPP captured by the Russians. And here the Russians themselves showed how it is possible to capture and hold a NPP, so we are not discounting this factor yet. And for us, the Zapadnaya NPP is important for the winter period.
