Comments by "Stephen Sipe" (@stephensipe5405) on "Ukraine's Five Best Special Ops in 2023" video.
Ukrainians do very well fighting the deep battle using limited weapons and commando guts. The impact on the Russian Air Force and Russian Navy is real. The additional Patriot Batteries, IRIS-T, and Gephard AA Systems will further free Ukrainian skies of Russian attacks of every kind. My concern is with how the ground combat side of the war is being fought. GEN Zaluzhny would have had D-Day use simultaneously landings at Pais De Cala, Normandy Burgandy, and Marseille. The philosophy of force the Germans to spread out would have be his concept. Thankfully, Americans planned D-Day. With gave the UK a 2ND chance after their original plan in Sicily had to be fixed, and it flopped again in Operation Market Garden. Hopefully GEN Zaluzhny is listening to his US Advisors. Having 1 Offensive Operation does NOT mean 1 Axis of Advance. A Corp Attack with 3 Divisions would use 3 Axis of Advance. The main deep Objective would be common and artillery fires would be mutually supporting. Ukrainians will also have F16s, hopefully about 100.

@bloggalot4718 Of course, the Americans were in UK bases. The plan was a US plan based on US engineering. During the execution, GEN Montgomery was little slow on his Flank. The situation did not get dynamic until GEN Patton’s breakout. It had been the same way in Sicily until GEN Patton captured Palermo. During Operation Market Garden, was GEN Montgomery ever near the front pushing his Units forward? My Unit was the ACR leading 2ND Tank Division (French) into Paris. You can see our 6 wheeled armored cars and Stuart Light Tanks under the Arc If Triumph prior to GEN DeGaulle’s Sherman MBTs. My Uncle physically saw GEN Patton at the Siegfried Line after his Unit blew a path through to Germany. Maybe the UK just had GEN Montgomery as an Army limitation. The UK Air Marshal was much better at helping to plan the Strategic Bombing Campaign. The fire storm was non-nuclear yet almost as effective.
