    Not sure if this is bullshit. It's plausible but also russia is currently underway removing almost the entire civilian population of zaporhizia oblast by force - so this could be the classic deflection tactic to distract from the (real) Russian effort to kidnap civilians

            my neighbour who passed a few years ago was one of the soldiers retreating over the river. He said the boats were full to the brim and he couldnt get on, so he grabbed onto the edge so he was pulled by it. A lot of others had the same idea so the people on the boat were hitting their fingers so they would let go and not slow them down. A lot of the guys dragging in the water let go sooner or later and drowned but he was one of the few that managed to make it across.

          They crossed it, while being lit up with machine guns, with rafts. The Germans maintained two bridgeheads after the rest of their army had been thrown across the Dnepr complete with IIRC two panzer divisions just because HItler wanted "options".

        And WW2 was the last conflict where bridging operations were done in combat. Even then they carried a casualties rate of 60%(?). Now, there are drones and artillery in an area where neither side has air superiority. Bridging the Dnipro is extremely risky and nigh suicidal

          Doing shit everyone thinks is impossible works if you can figure out a way to do it. See: Hannibal crossing the Alps, Napoleon crossing the Alps, Inchon, the Crusaders leaving Antioch's walls to challenge a much larger, healthier army, or on a much smaller scale, Washington crossing the frozen Delaware.

          The problem is that, as Inchon shows, the line between blunder and genius can get pretty thin. Like Bill Belichek opting to kick in an overtime game.

                What D-Day also had was an exceptional intelligence operation that managed to trick the Germans into thinking the attack would come somewhere else. This was probably the biggest factor in the success of the D-Day landings

      They will probably build a few 20km bubbles of airspace superiority and place a few Gepards around the pontoon bridges.
      Not sure if they got German Brückenlegepanzer and pontoon bridges, but if they do, they'll build 6 bridges in pairs of two, about 20km from each other.

      The length is unusual, with about 600m to 800m, but it's doable with proper prepwork.

      However, in my opinion it's too early, we should see a lot more battle field shaping in the week and days before it starts. I would have guessed end of the month.

    If ukriane has a capable marine corps with amphibious equipment and a good logistical tail then it makes sense for them to use it in a limited objective capacity - pose a reasonable threat of forcing a river crossing and it presents such a risk to the Russian flank that it requires an outsized commitment to defending it, which is good for taking units away from defending against the ukr main effort down to melitopol. However if they're seriously going all in across the dneipr then frick me that's a bold play

      They get transported via ANs because Germany doesn't operate a fleet of C-17s or God forbid C-5s. Sure you can squeeze a Tiger in the back of a A-400M but the Bundeswehr has the habit of chartering Antonovs for their heavy equipment transportation.

    I know for a fact that Ukrainian 59th Division is going to spearhead the attack. Its a fresh unit, but strenghtended with core of experienced veterans from first year of the war, who were allowed to rest, retrain and rebuild , most of them spend last months in Ipswich in bongistan training on new equipment.
    The plan is to use them to break the hole for rest of First Ukrainian Strategic Army Group .

    They are one of the units equipped with Bradley, although - fun fact here - there was a rumor circulating that they are going to get Patton which is pretty wierd and would make no sense at all.

    All the posters in here are underestimating modern artillery and drones
    The moment Ukies start constructing pontoons they would be targeted by MLRs and conventional Artillery within 10 Minutes and later even airstrikes thanks to drone recon
    Even if Russians completely frick up their respond time the pontoon would still be able to get targeted after its construction which would cause heavy equipment to be stranded on the other side
    So not only do you need to hope russian spotting and respond time is complete dogshit you would also need to push russians atleast 50km away from the pontoon to be save from Conventional MLRs and Artillery
