And yet the Ukraine forces are successful! I heard they developed new technology called bridges and boats.
You assume Russians did not have this technology? Getting few miles with foot solders with artillery support from the right bank is one thing. To fully develop this into meaningful strategic advance with heavy military equipment is another thing. It is difficult and risky. With all my heart I wish them good luck especially because I think it is very hard to advance in that direction.
Wasn't the whole point of the beachhead to threaten the Russian logistics to the choke points?
It can't be more than a week ago I read about this
That's exactly the point of this. To hold the position Russia has to have safe logistics and fortified positions. Ukraine only needs to increase the grey zone to disrupt Russia's logistics into Tokmak to collapse the front on the South.
