Russia launched its largest missile and drone offensive against Ukraine since the invasion on the 26th and 27th, causing severe damage to Ukraine’s energy facilities. However, the Ukrainian military’s counterattacks against Russia have also achieved significant gains. Ukrainian Armed Forces Commander-in-Chief, Syrskyi, stated on the “Ukraine 2024 Independence Forum” on the 27th that Ukrainian forces have occupied 1294 square kilometers of land in Russia’s Kursk Oblast, with a total of 594 Russian soldiers captured so far.
Syrskyi also pointed out that one of the purposes of opening the Kursk front was to force Russian troops to shift their focus to other battle zones. The Moscow authorities are currently deploying around 30,000 troops to reinforce Kursk Oblast.
Ukrainian military commander Syrskyi excels in deploying troops to deceive the enemy and conceal strategic intentions. The whereabouts of the reserve forces he still controls remain a mystery, causing headaches for the Kremlin and the Russian General Staff. This Muscovite is always able to strike at the Russian army’s vulnerabilities with heavy blows.
The strategic intentions behind the Ukrainian military’s advance into Russian territory have many variables, but one crucial aspect is that it serves the purpose of “using the sword of Xiang Zhuang to try against the Lord of Pei.” The most remarkable part is that this “Lord of Pei” can change at any time, be it “Kharkiv,” “Moscow,” or “Crimea.” Where do you think this “Lord of Pei” truly lies?
At the “Ukraine 2024 Independence Forum” held in Kyiv, Ukrainian President Zelensky revealed that Ukrainian forces have successfully test-fired domestically-produced ballistic missiles and congratulated the defense industry for this achievement. However, Zelensky did not disclose further information about this type of missile. Speculations suggest that this missile might be the “Thunder-2” (Grom-2) ballistic missile. In the early 2000s, Ukraine began developing tactical missiles to replace the Soviet-era Tochka-U, and the weapon system, including the launch vehicle, was named the “Tur Falcon” multi-function tactical missile complex. The Thunder missile was first displayed at an international defense exhibition in 2013, resembling the Russian Iskander-M missile, with a stubby rocket motor and a longer conical warhead.
Ukrainian F-16s have joined the combat operations, but reports surfaced about one F-16 crashing during a mission, resulting in the pilot’s death. To enhance the survivability of these F-16s, the US military has assisted in updating and improving their electronic warfare systems.
