Ukraine's anticipated counter-offensive will be like a "big bang," a military expert told The Sun. A 'concentrated' attack is needed to disrupt the stalemated war, Ben Barry said. "We're looking at a 'big bang' concentrated attack, rather than dribbling it away in penny packets," he said of Ukraine's planned counter-offensive. "Ukraine could kill every Russian soldier within 200 miles of Bakhmut, and it wouldn't change the strategic situation," Hodges told The Sun. "Ukraine knows that it will never be safe without taking back Crimea," Hodges told the news outlet.

The U.S. military relies on the Abrams tank to be a bedrock of power in any potential conflict, but with war entering a new era, will these giant tracked behemoths equipped with massive cannons still be the cornerstone of land warfare?

WASHINGTON, March 3 (Reuters) - The United States announced a new military aid package for Ukraine on Friday worth $400 million primarily comprised of ammunition, but for the first time will include tactical bridges to move tanks and armored vehicles. The additional ammunition is being sent to help boost stocks in anticipation of a spring offensive. "Importantly, assault bridges are only critical for offensive operations showing that the US is preparing Ukraine to continue retaking its territory," Watling added. In January, Berlin agreed to send Leopard tanks to Ukraine and said it would work with allies to send more.

REUTERS/Mike Blake/File PhotoJan 25 (Reuters) - U.S. defense contractor General Dynamics Corp (GD.N) on Wednesday forecast lower-than-expected 2023 results, as the industry struggles with labor and supply shortages, though strong demand for weapons helped it beat quarterly estimates. An "abnormally high retirement" of workers has impacted General Dynamics' electric boat unit, which assembles nuclear-powered submarines, company executives said on an investor call. General Dynamics said it was working with the U.S. Navy to mitigate the effect of worker shortages, which plagued the defense industry in 2022. "We're seeing demand signals resulting from the war in Ukraine, but we've only just begun to see that manifest in our backlog," General Dynamics Chief Executive Phebe Novakovic said.
☆ Analysis: Russia's planned Kherson retreat a double-edged sword for Kyiv

[1/2] Civilians evacuated from the Russian-controlled part of Kherson region of Ukraine arrive at a local railway station in the town of Dzhankoi, Crimea November 10, 2022. If it happens, the planned retreat could make life easier for the Russian army, in some respects, and harder for Ukraine. Both men publicly accepted that Russia's position in Kherson had become untenable. Regardless of any potential military upside, retreat would represent a humiliating defeat for Russia's political and military leadership. Kherson is the first and only regional capital Moscow's forces have captured, at great cost, since their Feb. 24 invasion.
