76th GAAD.


This is coolbert:

“arguably Russia’s best division and is relatively fresh,”

Best divisional-sized unit in the Russian army. Blooded but still fresh as they say. Sent on a rushed basis to the schwerpunkt?

"Schwerpunktprinzip was a heuristic tool used in the German Army . . . to make decisions about priority from tactics to strategy. It was translated as center of gravity, crucial, focal point, and point of main effort"

"As Ukraine’s Counteroffensive Gains Momentum, Russia Is Deploying Some Of Its Last Good Reserves"

From David Axe | Forbes Staff | Aug 27, 2023.

"The Kremlin is rushing reinforcements to southern Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhia Oblast. It’s a desperate bid to prevent a major Ukrainian breakthrough along a critical axis."

"The reinforcements are from the 76th Guards Air Assault Division, which is “arguably Russia’s best division and is relatively fresh,” according to Rob Lee, an analyst with the Foreign Policy Research Institute in Philadelphia. The division most recently went on the attack early this year around Kreminna, where the Russians still are sustaining a limited offensive."

"Indicates that Russia has possibly committed multiple regiments from the VDV’s 76th Air Assault Division to the south (73rd Center fought in the Robotyne area) from the Kreminna front. The 76th is arguably Russia’s best division and is relatively fresh."

The focal point at this exact moment the main scene-of-the-action the Ukrainian Spring/Summer counter-offensive? Sending your best unit indicates a criticality has been reached that sounds even mildly ominous for the Russian and can reasonably inferred to be so?
