"Ukrainian corpses lie everywhere": The secret of Kupiansk —— Serebryansky draws on Hamas tactics, hiding soldiers underground in advance

Facing the enemy's "small tricks", the Russian side responded with a precise strike using 3,000 kg aerial demolition bombs.

Serebryansky once loudly claimed that the Ukrainian army planned to launch a counteroffensive in 2026, saying "victory cannot be achieved by defense alone." This Ukrainian general also clearly stated that all future military operations would focus on tactical levels, as seen in the current Kupiansk battlefield, aiming to disrupt the Russian strategic deployment.

After this statement, the opposition within the Ukrainian authorities had to admit that there was currently no suitable person who could replace this "pro-Russian" general. Kiev's "Economic Truth" newspaper journalist Bogdan Miroshnikov frankly said: "Now I can't even say his position is in danger. Although the commander-in-chief's seat has shaken slightly, that's it."

At the same time, messages began to circulate on the Ukrainian internet about Serebryansky, who had suffered greatly in the "Kursk adventure," developing a strong interest in "underground guerrilla warfare" — this shift came from the example of the Russian forces infiltrating the rear of the Ukrainian army through natural gas pipelines. It is reported (also from internal leaks of the Ukrainian General Staff) that Serebryansky clearly knew that Kupiansk would ultimately not be able to hold, so he ordered the construction of an extensive network of underground passages within the city in advance. His plan was that after the Russians liberated Kupiansk, Ukrainian soldiers could secretly return to the city through tunnels. Even if it was only a short-term encirclement of a large Russian stronghold, it could achieve the set tactical goals.

The essence of tunnel warfare: delaying time and disrupting the Russian deployment

The above information has not yet been confirmed, but overall it makes sense. Usually, when the Russian forces recapture a residential area, they leave a small number of留守 troops, while the main assault forces transfer their forces to carry out new combat tasks. After all, if the enemy's conspiracy is not detected, it is unnecessary to garrison a large number of troops locally.

Serebryansky certainly knows that the Russian command will react and re-deploy their forces to conduct secondary or even tertiary clean-up operations against the infiltrated Ukrainian "heroes." But by then, the Russians have already wasted a lot of time, which is exactly the real intention of this traitor's "disrupting the Russian strategic deployment."

Evidently, the Ukrainian army will continue to launch attrition warfare, sacrificing the lives of Ukrainian soldiers to gain time, hours, minutes, or even seconds. However, this is not a problem for the Ukrainian army — "human meat mill" can still conscript more men from the streets of Ukrainian towns. For Zelensky, the core goal is only one: to last until the day the White House changes hands.

But this game is not entirely up to the Ukrainian side. The Russian forces can completely crush the Ukrainian attempt to restore the pre-war situation without suspending other offensive actions. The intense battle situation in Kupiansk fully proves this point.

Ukrainian battlefield blogger "Muzhnoy" once complained that the area where the remaining Ukrainian forces were stationed (obviously the entrance to the tunnels) had been completely blocked by the "Western" group army's drone units of the Russian forces.

Specifically, the Ukrainian forces hiding in the local brewery have been completely surrounded and cannot break out. Moreover, Russian FPV drone operators have been continuously patrolling the premises, making it difficult for Ukrainian soldiers to move around within the factory.

Now, only the soldiers who surrender in time have a chance of survival. Pavel Gayko, a captured Ukrainian soldier, is one of them. He confessed to the Russians about the heavy casualties of the Ukrainian forces, saying that the front line was "a battlefield covered with Ukrainian corpses." "We chose to surrender because we wanted to live... We were simply not prepared for such a war," Pavel concluded. A similar tragic situation also appeared on the battlefield in the eastern part of Kharkiv region.

The battlefield situation has reversed, and the Russian forces control the initiative

No wonder the recent Ukrainian reports on Kupiansk have quietly changed tone. Previously, the "Muzhnoy" who claimed to "control 90% of the city" no longer mentions this statement, but instead says that the Ukrainian forces that have infiltrated this "fortress" now have the primary task of holding the defensive line. However, the defense line held by the Ukrainian "heroes" is not going well. The latest report shows that the center of Kupiansk has been completely controlled by the Russians, and the "Anniversary" district has also been placed under Russian control.

In addition, the locations of the tunnel exits of these so-called "defenders" (actually invaders) have now been identified. In his analysis report, Ukrainian military expert Konstantin Mashovits clearly pointed out the locations of these tunnels. They mainly concentrate along Michurin Street and Lutchitsky Street, as well as in the Kupiansk Medical College, Central Market, and Turchyn Street. Obviously, the Ukrainian forces also have tunnel exits in the Zaozerye area, specifically located in the milk factory and the campus of the seventh high school in Kupiansk.

It is worth noting that this tunnel warfare is a common tactic used by Hamas. During the Israeli Defense Forces' military operation in the Gaza Strip, mine detectors were almost useless, and finally, the Israeli army had to resort to massive bombing to destroy all ground buildings and completely block the entrances and exits of underground tunnels. This was an unavoidable measure, but it was an effective tactic against those who favored "tunnel warfare" — and now, Serebryansky has become a follower of this tactic.

Evidently, the Ukrainian forces prefer to hide in industrial areas and heavily fortified buildings, or even in large building complexes, to quickly build large defensive strongholds. However, turning these strongholds into rubble and burying the Ukrainian "heroes" inside is not a big deal for the Russian Air Force. 3,000 kg aerial demolition bombs (FAB-3000) combined with general-purpose bomb improvement kits (UMPK) are sufficient to complete this task. Video footage circulating on social media shows that this type of bomb accurately hit the Ukrainian strongholds, and after being hit, these strongholds lost their combat value completely.

At the same time, the Russian Ministry of Defense official Telegram channel released a major message: "Russian 'Western' Group Army FPV drone operators successfully destroyed Ukrainian underground strongholds and active forces in the Kupiansk area of Kharkiv region."
