2023 Offensive Failed by Rejecting Combined Arms Breach
The 2023 summer offensive failed because, contrary to popular belief, NATO advisers urged Ukraine to use its newly supplied tanks and armor for a NATO-doctrine combined arms breach — concentrating force in a narrow sector to break through — but Ukraine rejected this, instead dispersing its armor into small units of one to three to take tree lines piecemeal, an approach that achieved no significant breakthrough.

“a combined arms breach involves concentrating a large number of tanks and other weapon systems armor artillery et cetera in a relatively limited sector of the front and breaking through with the expectation that a large number of those weapon systems will be destroyed in the process”
