@D88PB @BohdanKrotevych @roman_bebekh: I imagine because of the 'rules of the game' as he mentions .... among many of the senior officer corps.
Until Zelensky replaces Syrskyi and some of the officers around him with the best from the younger generation of commanders, then this system is unlikely to change.

24. East of Novoserhiivka, Pokrovsk front.
Peaky Blinders,🇺🇦NGU 2nd unit of Special Purpose Center OMEGA recently announced their return to this sector.
Today they show a 435m stretch of the Solone road with approx 38🇷🇺KIA and many bike and scooter wrecks.

@clement_molin: One of the questions I've considered is whether an operational level breakthrough is possible without the ability to mass armor. There is a risk that Russia could set the conditions to effectively use armor again on a narrow part of the front through infiltration tactics, concentrated employment of glide bombs (which @clement_molin has tracked very well), and localized superiority in strike UAS, which could sufficiently degrade or suppress Ukrainian UAS teams.

RT @Inkvisiit: Situation north of Pokrovsk - Myrnohrad salient is deteriorating rapidly with Russian forces rapidly infiltrating past Ukrainian lines at a depth of roughly 17km during the past three days. Forwardmost Russian units have reportedly reached the Dobropillya – Kramatorsk road T0514 and Russian infiltration groups have also been reported near Dobropillya proper. 1/

@clement_molin: Your map was excellent. One of the brigades in that area I spoke to recently said they were facing up to 40 glide bombs per day for 10 days before a Russian assault. This coincided with a Rubicon detachment reinforcing that sector and targeting logistics and UAS teams for five days as well.

Given the lack of footage, I would assume this tactical breakthrough was mostly accomplished through dismounted infantry infiltration behind Ukrainian lines and not vehicles.

@pati_marins64: I agree that massing armor is very difficult, but I think one way to enable maneuver again is to more effectively target UAV teams. Not sure if it will be possible.

@heyiamherfhd @Rebel44CZ: My guess is they were being rested and possibly expanded as a unit. I would not be surprised if they also have some new types of toys. Again these are just guesses.

RT @J_JHelin: We are still talking about a penetration rather than a breakthrough as the operational implications are still limited.

However, should the Russians manage to widen the penetration and exploit it further, the situation may turn into a operational breakthrough. https://twitter.com/Inkvisiit/status/1955010962919927819#m

A follow-up post by NGU Lieutenant Colonel Bohdan Krotevych, in which he refers to the announcement about the latest successful Ukrainian tactical-scale counterattack on the Sumy front:

"This is exactly what I'm talking about. About restoring positions and assaults that lead to greater losses than during defense.
Right now, restoring positions through assault operations, at a moment when your front is cracking at the seams, unit rotations are completely unrealistic, there are gaps in defense, and there are no reserves at the operational level-this is illogical.
I suggest reviewing the losses of individual units during assault operations and considering whether it's worth starting to distribute mobilization resources, including to ground forces brigades, airborne assault troops, and the National Guard, which are directly holding the front line. First, stabilization, strengthening defenses, building up reserves - and only then assault or counteroffensive actions.

To stabilize the front, brigades at the line of contact need to be reinforced with
infantry, among other things.
Next, systematizing command and control while simultaneously building up reserves. Let me remind you that reserves exist for: repelling counterattacks, reinforcing difficult sectors, closing breakthroughs, replacing units that have suffered losses and lost combat capability, increasing the resilience of defenses-and yes, for the potential development of success in case, damn it, we achieve an advantage!!! and transition to a counteroffensive.
In case an advantage is achieved (we are definitely not in that position right now). This isn't quick, it's painful, but it's realistic. We just need to stop and start building a system! We cannot fight like Russia, which has numerical superiority, but justifying our mistakes with Russia's numerical advantage is deceiving
ourselves."
