“A Thousand Needles” – Ukraine’s New Strategy

Kyiv is aiming to weaken Russia by launching numerous attacks across different areas along the front lines.

This strategy is designed to create disarray within the Russian Army by employing a decentralized approach to warfare.

"A Thousand Needles" – Ukraine's New Strategy

Ukraine is maximizing decentralization tactics. Numerous workshops and factories across the country are producing weapons to carry out many small-scale attacks.

The Ukrainian military is scattered across various training locations, with ammunition and weapons dispersed across thousands of depots, and artillery capable of firing from multiple positions.

Political expert Yury Baranchyk noted on his Telegram channel that countering such a strategy, given the current management model in Russia, is challenging.

According to Baranchyk, Russian managers tend to favor large-scale operations and lack the capability to manage smaller systems.

“We don’t have thousands of cheap missiles, and our managers are prone to mistakes. They don’t know how to handle minor tasks and are unwilling to learn.”

“Even in civilian life, they build a large school for a huge number of students while closing dozens of smaller schools in villages, which is irrational,” Baranchyk wrote.

Baranchyk emphasized that Ukraine understands the issue well and isn’t afraid to split its forces into many segments to complicate matters for the adversary. This leads to new challenges for the Russian Army, necessitating adaptation.

The analyst described management as a “disaster” and pointed out that the situation in the Russian Army requires revolutionary changes, such as adopting the latest management methods and replacing outdated ones.

It is necessary to train managers at all levels to be ready for a new approach, including effective procurement, creating an invulnerable logistics system, organizing training and supervision, and implementing a system of incentives and penalties. A new ideology within the army also plays a crucial role.

Expert Yury Baranchyk concluded, “No, there won’t be a quick collapse, but there will be constant bleeding from a thousand needles, causing significant damage.”
