The War in Ukraine

Allegedly 200km of Kursk are under nominal AFU control. Fucking bananas.

Edit: same subreddit has geolocated videos showing dozens of Russian POWs. Wowzers.

2 mech brigades complete with a drone unit now across the border. What seems even more interesting is there appears to be a cyber unit assigned to this breech that scours social media etc and deletes anything that could provide useful information to the Russian command structure.

I think however they need to be careful not to be victims of their own success - as with G1, managing a large number of prisoners (soon over a thousand) consumes resources and takes troops off the attack. As does securing the rapidly lengthening flanks.

Drone unit makes a ton of sense. They can move with a relatively modest footprint, stay a bound behind lead elements, and absolutely mess shit up out to a pretty solid bubble as long as they have the drones. Doubtful the Russians have much good anti drone stuff there. Drones probably give them a good 10-20km of additional precision fires, enough to detect and blunt counterattacks, and hunt high value assets.

Two brigades isn’t huge but it’s definitely not nothing.

I am betting on some public execution of Senior Officers in Moscow.

Is 2 mech brigades enough to push to, seize and destroy that nuc plant and then fall back?
