Encirclement Consolidated: Deep Strikes and Multi-Domain Dominance – Weekly Operational Review, November 28, 2025

Precision strikes without visibility gaps win more than headlines; they win time, tempo, and leverage. We sit down with Colonel A. C. Ogentoye to unpack a pivotal week defined by six coordinated strike waves, synchronized ground advances, and the quiet power of electronic warfare. From Sumy and Kharkiv to Donetsk, Zaporizhia, and the Dnieper, we map how sensor suppression, logistics interdiction, and disciplined urban clearing are reshaping the front as winter sets in.

The story begins with containment in the north, where targeted strikes and depot losses forced Kyiv to hold forces away from decisive sectors. Westward around Kupyansk and Lyman, counterbattery supremacy took center stage: eliminating radars and EW nodes blinded artillery and stretched response times, creating paralysis through precision rather than sweeping maneuvers. In the south, a string of liberated settlements enabled fire control over the Donetsk–Slovyansk corridor, turning roads into risk zones and reinforcing a doctrine of encirclement built on overlapping fires and drone-enabled targeting.

At the center axis, methodical block-by-block clearing repelled dozens of counterattacks while closing escape options and normalizing logistics for continued pressure. East toward Zaporizhia and Dnipropetrovsk, gains on the high ground opened a supply containment corridor that complicates lateral reinforcement. Along the Dnieper, suppressing riverbank artillery secured cross-river lines and tied the southern and central fronts into a stable backbone for winter. We tie these threads to a bigger idea: strategic deceleration for consolidation, a deliberate shift from maneuver to sustainment that sets conditions for 2026 operations under improved initiative.
