It’s fair to call the Cape Tarkhankut site the linchpin of Russian air and naval defenses across the Black Sea. Which is why the Ukrainian armed forces blew it up.
Attrition is a powerful factor often forgotten in war.
Easiest way to beat your enemies? Surround them with pointy sticks and slowly poke and starve them until they give up. Bonus points if you hurl dead animals into their village.
Obviously that’s a bit crude but I wanted to highlight the fact that this tactic is as old as time. If they widdle Russia down far enough they might be able to make the sweeping charge everyone wanted to see.

Trebuchets for Ukraine!
Just mount the animal heads onto missiles.
Much more effective.

Thanks. I was struggling with that one a lot 🤣
Lemmy armchair 5 star general recently completes Sun Tzu’s Art of War and thinks things are being forgotten about military tactics.
I’m actually from Kbin, so uhhh yeah.
Also I’m pretty sure most people learned about this in high school and just forgot because history is boring to most people except nerds like myself.
