    The Allies most definitely announced D-Day, just not where they were going to land. They tried their hardest to trick the Germans that they were going to land further north and not at Normandy.

      Same with Bagrations. Germans knew a Soviet attack would come but they guessed the area wrongly. Soviets made them believe the attack will target northern Ukraine instead of Belarus.

    The allies had fake divisions and armies running radio chatter in the UK to support the diversion of where d-day would land. Patton was running it if I recall correctly.
    There is no way they could hide the build up so they sought to confuse the Germans and lead them to the wrong conclusion, which worked.

      it also helped that the germans were sure that any attack would need to go through calais to begin with, as it was the closest point to the UK and was also a major port
      so the germans bought the counter-intelligence hook, line, and sinker because it fit in so well with their own assumptions

    I'm not sure if Ukie Kherson Offensive was intended as a feint, but it did seem to have the effect of one.

    imo Ukraine launched simultaneous northern and southern offensives after months of preparation. Southern in Kherson had only meager gains, north completely broke Russia and is now is allowing advances in the south.

    • 2 years ago

      i think it's a matter of logistics, again - Ukraine can push from more directions in the East. Kherson is a bottleneck, and well defended, and relatively small, and right next to Crimea, which has had time to build up Russian forces. the limited scope of the Kherson offensive is, so far, i think, more down to Russia's Crimean air assets still being able to threaten Ukrainian positions/salients.

      for now.

      It's probably more accurate to say that Ukraine did not expect Russia to turn "not losing at Kherson," an indefensible nothing city that is only really a symbolic victory or important if Russia wanted to try to take Odessa (lol), into their #1 priority at the expense of every other front
      Kherson did not get 2/3rds or even 1/2 of the remaining Ukrainian army, but inexplicably Russia did commit something like 1/3rd to Kherson and start routing another 1/3rd to the South as reserves for Kherson
      no feint is required, it's just Russia making a really shit decision against all expectations and Ukraine capitalizing on it for an *even bigger* propaganda win, bravo Russia

Just ignore that the freakin' theatre CO got caught, and that they subsequently fired the next guy in charge of it all. Jsut ignore that the Ukrainians literally overran the mian supply and communciations hub in the entire theatre, making any kind of concerted counterattack logistically impossible. Just ignore that all this happened mere days before the arrival of Raspubreastsa and maneuver warfare becoming nigh-impossible in the theatre for weeks to come.

      Putin's emotional response for one.
      The man has only one way to vent his anger and try to appear strong: murder.
      Every single time something fricking awful happens to Russia, Snake Island, the fighter jets in Crimea being destroyed, it's always followed by sudden, pointless missile strikes against railways, schools, shopping malls, or some other civilian target, or the "suicide" of a critic who wouldn't shut up, or the "assassination by Ukrainian Nazis" of a nobody he can throw away for propaganda spin.
      Putin has precisely the same mentality as Adolf Hitler and he's in pretty much the same state in terms of his career. He knows the end is near, he can't afford to look weak or his own people will eat him alive, so he murders people to appear strong. He can't push a button and make Ukraine lose, pushing a button and murdering Ukrainian civilians is all he CAN do, so that's what he does. Every single time.
      Even now his shills are spreading the good word about how he blew up power stations to try and show what a hard man he is, the sycophantic preening from his propagandist tools is what he's after, like a conductor leading a symphony, each shill knows how to follow his movements and says their prepared lines accordingly, giving him the public image boost he needs and soothing his own frail ego.

    It can be both at the same time. I think everyone called that Kherson was an obvious effort to draw as much combat power as possible into an area where the conditions were most favorable for it to be degraded and least likely to cause problems. What shocked me and many others was just how porous Russian lines were and that Ukraine had a mechanized dagger to the heart ready to go. I'd also add that most offensives in this war have been measured in weeks-months and Kherson is less than 2 weeks since the official jumping off. Too early for a post mortem.

    It wasn't a feint. More troops with better equipment were and are deployed towards Kherson than were ever deployed towards Kharkiv. Kherson has the best of Ukrainian equipment.

It was always going to be a matter of whether they wanted to preserve the bridges for Crimea invasion and only blow them if the doomstacks are more trouble than they're worth fighting head on or blow them for massive supply and morale damage outright or try and rush around the city from the north to take the bridges before the fight and force a panic (sup Izyum).

    The bridges were always going to be key to Kherson and the trap play was one of the 3 obvious options.

    It wasn't a 'feint' per se, the actions being taken in Kherson are done with the intention of eventually reclaiming the city.
