Russia Ukraine war, page-170757

re- that last post of mine about Tokmak .....

I don't (totally ) agree with this guy - this idea of spending a coupke of weeks to take Tokamak - I don't expect it to be that easy at all .

The russ will defend it very strongly because it's critical for their holding the southern corridor , there is a ring of defensive around it and it's a fair sized town - about 30,000 inhabitants .

on the other hand just being close to Tokmak makes things very difficult for russia because of being able to bring the artillery to bear on the supply route , particularly the rail line .
Tokmak could potentially become untenable for the defenders if this is done effectively ....as Kherson become impossible to supply and the russ simply retreated wthout a fight .

Not saying that will be the case but one possible scenario - I do expect it not to happen quickly .
