Gen. ‘Spider’ Marks on Ukraine’s Strike on Mariupol: ‘They Are Looking for a Vulnerability in the Russian Defenses’

RUSH EXCERPT:
SPIDER MARKS: "What the Ukrainians are trying to do is determine where the Russians are going to respond and where they think they are strongest. They are looking for a vulnerability in the Russian defenses. As they have, the Russians, have arrayed their forces. You attack in different locations. You see how the enemy responds. As a result of that, they may, in fact, maneuver forces to reinforce a particular area. As a result of that, that gives good intelligence to the attacking forces. Ukraine is really doing — this is really — it is intelligence by fire. They are using this as an opportunity to try to increase their understanding of what the enemy is trying to achieve and exploit that."
