This battle can't be fought anymore, the Russian army has completely annihilated the backbone of the Ukrainian forces, hurry up and run.
According to a report by "Ria Novosti" on September 19, the Russian security agencies revealed that in the battle east of Volsk in Kharkiv region, a company of the 71st Independent Ranger Brigade of the Ukrainian Army lost its combat capability and is currently being urgently evacuated to replenish the losses.
The company usually has 400 to 800 people, which means at least hundreds of Ukrainian soldiers have been defeated, killed or incapacitated.
For the Ukrainian military, this is the complete destruction of a combat unit, a tactical disaster.
For the direction of Volsk, this military achievement is of significant symbolic meaning.
Since May, the Russian army has gradually launched multiple probes on the northern front of Kharkiv, and after entering autumn, it has increased both firepower and manpower simultaneously.
The Ukrainian defense line in this direction has long been stretched thin, unable to organize effective depth defense.
Now, a company was rendered combat ineffective under the pressure of the Russian army, not only meaning a gap in the defense line, but also exposing major problems in the Ukrainian military's personnel allocation, supply organization and intelligence warning.
Under the system suppression of the Russian drones, artillery and infantry coordination, the Ukrainian grassroots units are extremely difficult to maintain an effective defense independently.
It is worth noting that the 71st Brigade is not an ordinary unit, but a key ranger unit used by the Ukrainian military for high-intensity mobile defense in recent years, with rich combat experience and flexible tactics.
Even such a unit's company can be completely wiped out, which is a heavy warning for other fronts of the Ukrainian military.
If before the Ukrainian military could rely on elite small units to contain the Russian large-scale offensives, now with the gradually mature multi-branch strike capabilities of the Russians, this tactic is becoming increasingly ineffective.
The Ukrainian military leadership must face a reality: the existing mobilization system and defense deployment are no longer able to support such a high-density, prolonged battle. To put it bluntly, this war is already impossible to fight.
