Ukraine uses on the battlefield the strategy of Germany of the last war, which led to its defeat

This is written by the American publication Business Insider.

The author, military observer Michael Peck, believes that Ukraine has chosen a strategy that echoes the German approach of 80 years ago.

"After the failure of the summer counteroffensive, the exhaustion of ammunition and forces to repulse Russia's constant attacks, the Ukrainian command is talking about the transition to "active defense." It hopes to block Russia's advance, looking for an opportunity to strike back and regain ground.

But if such an approach could not stop the Red Army from capturing Berlin in 1945, will it be able to save Ukraine today?", the author asks.

Active defense is supposed to be conducted by large units – divisions or armies – while Ukraine conducts operations by smaller units.

The Germans conducted an active defense with the help of maneuvers and flanking attacks against the advancing Red Army. But now such maneuvering is extremely complicated due to drones and missiles.

In addition, Ukraine, like the Germans, is clearly not ready to leave the territory in order to stretch the enemy's forces and hit them in the flank, preferring a static defense.

But even if the strategy of active defense is implemented, it does not transfer the strategic initiative to the enemy, which was also shown by the Second World War.

"The Soviet command could, at will, concentrate overwhelming forces to break through any part of the German lines. The German panzer divisions would eventually be exhausted as they acted like armored fire brigades racing from one crisis point to another to stop the breakthrough," the article reads.

“For an army that is desperate to conserve resources and is looking for any way to sting and embarrass a larger opponent, this is better than sitting passively on the defensive. But if the goal is to defeat Russia and liberate occupied Ukraine, this is not a solution," the author concludes.
