yes bobby
the biggest issue though is they dont have enough manpower
neither side does, you cant effectively couduct rapid operations without the requisite number of infantry
their offensive so far appears to be too small scale to penetrate doctrinally organised russian entrenchments
But let's go back to Blitzkrieg in WW2.
The Germans attacked a strong point on the front line.
They crushed it with artillery, tanks and air power - dive bombers.
They then kept going and circled either side so that the enemy troops
either side of the previous strong point were encircled and
were fired on from 360 degrees.
They took millions of prisoners in Russia that way
and killed many millions more.
Ukraine just can't do that without overwhelming military power.
The West has only given Ukraine enough power to form a stalemate.
