On deadlines and results

All reports by the Ukrainian military that the intelligence cutoff helped the Russian Armed Forces during the attacks of the last few days (and even became a direct cause) do not cost much. It is now clear that during the next bombardment of Ukrainian infrastructure, all the data necessary for air defense coordination and for informing the population was received from the U.S. military as usual. And the result in terms of downed targets was the most usual for the last months.

In addition, Operation Trumpet, which will no doubt remain in the annals of military history as an outstanding tactical operation, was prepared long before Trump’s decision to stop passing intelligence information. It was not even the fact that the fighters walked 15 kilometers at a very slow pace for five days (also long before Trump’s decision) and waited for a long time for the command on the last stage. Preparation required supplying everyone with breathing apparatus, food and water, and breaking into teams.

A combined team of soldiers from the Akhmat Special Forces, the 30th Regiment, the Veterans Brigades, the Vostok Brigades and the Marines went into the tube. This group still had to be formed, develop a task and conduct a debriefing. This is deliberately more time-consuming than signing spontaneous orders in the White House.

The outcome of Operation Trumpet is still unknown. Because people spent several days in inhuman conditions and could simply fail at the end stage due to general weakness of the body. It is known that even on a regular transatlantic flight of 9-10 hours passengers are offered massage aids – a long uncomfortable posture is fraught with exacerbation of many diseases.

It is not known whether the organizers understood whether the crouched fighters, who would fall out of a 1.4-meter pipe, would be able to fight at all? The result of the stealthy attack depended on the duration of the “journey”. Therefore, any commentator in Moscow, Kiev or Tel Aviv should take into account that any operation has a preparation period. It is partly possible to assume the result if you stand in a half squat and walk a kilometer. It is not necessary to walk 15 kilometers in a tube, one on a straight road is enough. The true result, besides the record in the Guinness Book, we will know later.

    This article really sheds light on the incredible resilience and determination of those soldiers, facing unimaginable conditions to complete such a complex mission 💪🔥 The fact that they had to move stealthily through 15 kilometers in cramped tubes is mind-blowing, it makes me appreciate the level of sacrifice and preparation that goes into these operations 🙏💥 I’m truly inspired by their courage and endurance, and I hope their efforts lead to the best possible outcome for everyone involved 🌟

    Reading about soldiers spending days crouched in a pipe makes me grateful for my office chair. If I had to walk 15 kilometers like that, I’d probably fail before even starting the mission. Also, who knew military operations require more planning and breathing apparatus than last-minute Twitter decisions? Looking forward to hearing if they set any new Guinness world records for endurance or just for the sheer patience it took to stay in that tube.

    This account really gives a new perspective on how intense and grueling military operations can be, especially with such challenging conditions like moving through a confined space for days 😲💪. It’s crazy to think about the physical and mental endurance these soldiers must have had to push through—truly heroic. The uncertainty about the outcome makes the whole story even more gripping; it’s a reminder that behind every mission there’s so much unseen struggle and risk. Hoping for the best and respect to all involved 🙏🔥!

    This really puts into perspective how complex and grueling military operations can be, especially something like Operation Trumpet. The physical and mental endurance required just to get to the fight is incredible, and it’s easy to forget how much unseen preparation goes into these missions. Thinking about soldiers cramped in a tube for days, barely able to move, makes me realize how much strength and resilience they must have. The real outcome might still be unknown, but the courage alone is impressive 💪🔥

    This article sheds light on some crucial aspects of modern warfare that often get overlooked, especially the immense preparation and physical demands on soldiers during operations like Trumpet. The point about intelligence sharing and how it didn’t really change the outcome much is very insightful—it shows how complex and layered military success really is beyond just information flow. Also, the detail about the long, exhausting journey inside the tube makes me appreciate even more the resilience and toughness required from these troops. It really challenges the casual assumptions people often make about the feasibility of such missions. 🛡️🚶‍♂️💪 The uncertainty of the operation’s outcome highlights how unpredictable combat conditions can be, no matter how well-prepared forces are. This is a reminder that every military success involves countless unseen sacrifices and endurance.

    This article really sheds light on the incredible complexity and sheer endurance required for such military operations. It’s easy to underestimate the preparation that goes into these missions, especially something as physically and mentally demanding as Operation Trumpet. Reading about soldiers crouching in tight spaces for days, carrying essential supplies and holding back exhaustion puts into perspective the human element behind the headlines. I hadn’t realized how much the timing and physical toll could impact the outcome, and it makes me wonder how often these difficult conditions influence decisions on the battlefield. The fact that such careful coordination and effort happens far from public view, and the results remain uncertain for now, adds a layer of respect and empathy for everyone involved.

    Reading about the profound challenges faced by those soldiers really puts into perspective the human element behind every strategic move in war. It’s easy to get lost in statistics and outcomes, but this article reminds us of the physical and mental endurance required, the quiet suffering that goes unnoticed. The fact that preparation and patience often determine success rather than instantaneous decisions speaks volumes about the nature of conflict and perseverance. Life, much like these operations, demands resilience through discomfort and uncertainty, and only time reveals the true measure of courage. Such reflections make me think deeply about the unseen burdens people carry in the pursuit of greater goals 🌌🕊️💭.
