Thunder Runs: Analyzing Ukraine's Devastating New Tactic

At the moment that this video is being prepared, what is the Russia-Ukraine conflicts in shock? On the weekends of September 10th to 11th, Ukraine's forces smashed through Russian lines in the Kharkiv region. But rather than gain a handful of villages or a strategic point, they kept right on rolling across towns, across hamlets, through cities.

By the time this breakthrough force came to a halt, the entire Russian line had collapsed, an area larger than Delaware had been liberated in what has been called the worst Russian defeat since 1943. Now, since our production process takes time, we'll refrain from giving you our hot take. By the time you watch this, the dust will have already settled.

Rather, we want to use this video to highlight one key tactic the Ukrainians used. A tactic borrowed from an American victory nearly as audacious as the liberation of Kharkiv a blast, the Thunder Run. First used to stunning effect in the 2003 invasion of Iraq, Thunder runs at both high risk and capable of generating insanely high rewards.
