Given good intelligence.
It’s much easier to.
Prevent an attack with.
A few precision strikes.
Than to meet it.
Soldier-for-soldier.
Tank-for-tank.
On the battlefield.
A clutch of ‘orcs’ officers.
Reportedly gathered for.
A hasty meeting.
Along a road near Tokmak.
Just 15 miles.
South of the front line.
In ‘orcs’-occupied.
Southern Ukraine on Friday.
What should have been.
A quick conference.
Between commanders.
Turned into a bloodbath.
When ‘elves’ intelligence.
Detected the gathering.
—and a HIMARS.
Opened fire.
Five vehicles burned.
And three ‘orcs’ captains died:
One each from the intelligence.
Air-defense and infantry corps.
Given good intelligence.
It’s much easier to.
Prevent an attack with.
A few precision strikes.
Than to meet it.
Soldier-for-soldier.
Tank-for-tank.
On the battlefield.
It was the second.
HIMARS strike.
In three days.
In three days.
Targeting ‘orcs’ officers.
Near the front line.
Of ‘orcs’ 34-month.
Wider war on Ukraine.
A Christmas Day bombardment.
Of a headquarters.
In the city of Lgov.
Near the ‘elves’-held salient.
In western ‘Mordor’’s Kursk Oblast.
May have killed or wounded.
Leaders of the ‘orcs’.
810th Naval Infantry Brigade.
Given good intelligence.
It’s much easier to.
Prevent an attack with.
A few precision strikes.
Than to meet it.
Soldier-for-soldier.
Tank-for-tank.
On the battlefield.
“This fiery impression.
Is part of the campaign.
To weaken the capabilities of.
The enemy army,” was boasted.
It makes sense for.
‘Elves’ U.S.-made HIMARS.
Which fire precision-guided rockets.
As far as 57 miles.
To target the 810th.
Naval Infantry Brigade.
That unit has been.
At the bleeding edge of.
‘Mordor’’s costly counteroffensive.
Aimed at eliminating.
The 250-square-mile.
‘Elves’ salient in Kursk.
It’s less obvious why.
The ‘elves’ would assign.
One of their precious HIMARS.
To blow up a trio of captains.
In Zaporizhzhia Oblast.
In southern Ukraine.
A relative backwater now that.
The fighting has shifted east and north.
Given good intelligence.
It’s much easier to.
Prevent an attack with.
A few precision strikes.
Than to meet it.
Soldier-for-soldier.
Tank-for-tank.
On the battlefield.
It’s possible.
‘Elves’ planners are trying to.
Prevent the ‘orcs’ from organizing.
An offensive in Zaporizhzhia.
That while unlikely to capture.
Much ground given.
The paucity of ‘orcs’ forces.
In the south.
Could nonetheless compel.
The ‘elves’ general staff.
To divert sparse resources.
Away from the east and north.
Given good intelligence.
It’s much easier to.
Prevent an attack with.
A few precision strikes.
Than to meet it.
Soldier-for-soldier.
Tank-for-tank.
On the battlefield.
Note the pattern of.
‘Elves’ raids in the south.
In addition to striking.
That meeting of captains.
The ‘elves’ intelligence directorate.
And special operations command.
May have sent saboteurs.
To blow up a critical railroad.
Through Tokmak on 15 December.
Reportedly destroying.
A fuel train.
In the process.
And disrupting ‘orcs’ logistics.
In the area.
By targeting critical command.
And logistical infrastructure.
‘Elves’ forces could defeat.
A possible southern offensive.
By ‘orcs’ forces.
Before it even begins.
Given good intelligence.
It’s much easier to.
Prevent an attack with.
A few precision strikes.
Than to meet it.
Soldier-for-soldier.
Tank-for-tank.
On the battlefield.
*Because I read “Russian Officers Pulled Over For A Hasty Meeting. That’s When A Ukrainian HIMARS Opened Fire.” by David Axe on 28 Dec 2024 on the Forbes, and also “Why are Ukrainians calling Russians ‘orcs’?” by James FitzGerald on 30 Apr 2022 on the BBC news.
So, I wrote this poem, including an article of the Ukrainian Center for Strategic Communications.
