He could have wiped off the opposing ground troups but he choosed to gradually winding them down or use the tactics of attrition.
I do not have a military brain but I am learning.
In sports especially in cricket bashing or demolishion of the opposition is the strategy. In test cricket you play a waiting game.
British who maternined the Kursk Operation did not use the strategy and stamina of test cricket.
France as in second world war is a splash in the pan.
He was not interested in capturing the ground which he cannot protect. Kursk operation showed his under preparation which they protected losing nearly 30 million in the process to Germans during the second world war.
He did not repeat the same mistakes this time round. He did not want his soldiers to die but used modern tactics.
I am not undermining brave Ukrainian soldiers whom the Americans used as their pawns. Loosing one's comrades in bravado is not the choice.
Loose the battle to win the war is the grand old style.
American method of ruling the sky failed this time due to drone warfare which Russian have mastered in less than 3 years. My guess is President Putin wished to drag this till victory day in May.
He is keeping this option close to his heart.
He does not want Wagner or Alaudin's demolition process.
He want that force to remain solid for another fight which if Macron wishes to engineer as the new putative head of EU.
One does not play all the cards in poker unless you are good bluffer. Bluffing also works in war.
Rounding up of NATO military planners dug in in Kursk is a major blow to Macron and his newly designed NATO bullworks.
It is easy to advance when the adversaries are morally down. President Putin deferred and he is reaping dividends.
This is where Trump as a politician would fail but he is happy, deep in his mind, NATO is really down under, without implied American help.
