The former head of the CIA analyzes why there was no breakthrough in the Ukrainian counteroffensive.

We have seen our delays in providing military equipment to Ukraine, our tanks have only recently reached them.

➡️Our delay in making decisions about the M1 (Abrams),
➡️delays with the approval of Leopard tanks,
➡️we delayed decisions on cluster munitions, which could have been very useful,
➡️missile systems with a longer radius of action for rocket systems of salvo fire,
➡️and finally, NATO airplanes

Retired General David Petraeus lists these factors as to why this year's counteroffensive failed.

🟢 “Our military doctrine says that in order to break through the types of defenses that we saw in the south (and I don't think anyone really realized the depth of the minefields, and that Russia did a very good defensive part, several lines of defense, etc. ), our doctrine says that this requires air superiority as well as many other capabilities. And we didn't give it to the Ukrainians," he emphasizes.
