If not, then they just relocate to another building… Hardly a win in my eyes
War materials… command post are sometimes the Intel hub of entire fronts. All the communication equipment and tech needed to sort and send encrypted data from the front to the logistical arm of the military. It’s all central to the over all strategic command of thousands of people.
It doesn’t matter if none of the operators were killed, if the equipment they were operating was destroyed you’ve effectively taken them out of the battle, at least until they can replace/repair it all.
Disrupting the command structure (not physical, just the way it is organized and implemented) means that while all the parts might still exist there will be tons of confusion and slowed communication that is needed to effectively use their military resources. Sure, if no one dies they can get it straightened out, but they likely lost weeks worth of work and it is also very likely that some people who feed or distribute information died or were injured and that will make recovery from the attack take even longer.
Plus there is the fact that being able to hit a command post is going to make people nervous about being in a command center, which has morale implications.
This was a success even if nobody died and Russia pretends that it was ineffective.
What does it mean to attack “a command post”? Were people killed? If not, then they just relocate to another building… Hardly a win in my eyes
