Going in, destroying supplies and infrastructure, and then leaving is the smart move unless there are good choke points to hold. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] jonne@infosec.pub 13 points 2 years ago Yeah, I hope that's the plan, otherwise they'll just lose everyone they sent over there. Go in, destroy a bunch of stuff and leave is the smart plan. It'll force Russia to keep substantial amounts of troops in Russia to avoid a repeat, shows they're weak and boosts morale in Ukraine. permalink fedilink source parent [–] JesusSon@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago Obviously, they can't go all the way to Moscow but Kursk or bust doesn't have the same ring to it. permalink fedilink source parent
