Ukraine fooled Russia with the same deceptions Germany used at WWII’s Battle of the Bulge

Some observers have argued surprise attacks are nearly impossible due to wide surveillance.Ukraine's Kursk invasion caught Russia by surprise and followed time-honored tactics.The question for Ukraine is whether Kursk will fare better than Germany's Battle of the Bulge.When Ukraine unleashed its Kursk offensive in August, it wasn't just the Russians who were surprised.Some experts had argued that large-scale attacks were no longer possible in modern warfare. Any attempt to mass forces for a penetration would be quickly detected by drones, spyplanes or satellites, the thinking went, enabling the defender to reinforce his defenses."The proliferation of unmanned aerial systems (UAS) in the Ukraine-Russia war has created a transparent battlefield marked by near-persistent surveillance, making operational surprise difficult to achieve," according to a blog by the US Army's Training and Doctrine Command.But despite hordes of Russian drones keeping an eagle eye for […]
