The battlefield of Ukraine is witnessing a methodical, systematic dismantling of defensive capabilities that goes far beyond what appears on maps. Colonel AC Ogintoy reveals the strategic depth behind recent Russian military operations, detailing how precision strikes and tactical advances form part of a larger design to progressively collapse Ukraine's ability to maintain coordinated resistance.

From August 30 to September 5, 2025, Russian forces conducted four major precision strike operations targeting critical infrastructure while advancing across multiple fronts. The destruction of a HIMARS launch unit and a US-supplied Patriot missile system stands as both tactical achievement and symbolic statement about the vulnerability of Western-supplied weapons. Colonel Ogintoy explains how these operations deliberately target electronic warfare capabilities, counter-battery systems, and supply nodes—the invisible connective tissue of modern military operations.

The podcast provides a sector-by-sector breakdown, revealing significant developments across all fronts. Most notably, Russian forces report the complete liberation of claimed Donetsk territory, consolidating rear areas and potentially freeing combat units for future operations in Zaporozhye and Dnipropetrovsk. The staggering figures—over 9,000 Ukrainian casualties in a single week, more than 1,500 UAVs shot down, and dozens of electronic warfare stations destroyed—paint a picture of sustained attrition designed for long-term strategic impact rather than immediate territorial gains. As Colonel Ogintoy states, ”It is methodical, cumulative and intended to progressively collapse Ukraine's ability to defend across multiple fronts.”
