There is lots of speculation going when the offensive will start or has it started already started!
I am afraid, a successful military offensive in a similar scenario in the 21st century might look quite different from those carried out in the 20th century. Maybe so called battle of material are thing of the past in the age of precision weapons and drones.
So far, I think the Ukrainian forces are doing a great job to keep the Russian military on their toes all the time. Hitting their equipment, or local soldiers, or remote leadership very effectively and very often along a very long battle front of about 1,000 kilometers.
Given the situation, why should the Ukraine risk loosing huge numbers of tanks and soldiers in a conventional offensive? E.g. the still existing air superiority of the Russian invader is a serious threat.
It is probably a very smart approach to demoralize the Russian invader day by day! It was really strange that Russia has mobilized so many criminals out of prison to serve in this war.
With the cluster ammunition, the Ukrainian forces might be able to neutralize and breach the Russian defenses made up of mine fields etc.
Maybe the biggest advantage of the Ukraine is what appears to be the great spirit and morale of the Ukrainian people to defend and free their country from the Russian invaders.
Time is on the side of the Ukraine unless e.g. Western countries stop or significantly reduce their support. How long will Putin the Terrible survive?
