Potentially. There are reports a few things got blown up. Reinforcement convoys and logistics depots being some of the targets.

Oh I bet they’re gonna be droning the shit out of reinforcements.

Ukrainian OPSEC has been superb, which largely means we’re only getting reports and BDA from the Russian side. That also means we know little about Ukrainians losses because the FEBA has successfully advanced in most areas and kept the battlefields under Ukrainian OPSEC.

I've also heard stories of UK SOF and UK "raider units" (Recce, really) moving well ahead of the main advance and ambushing Russian reinforcements.

Likely. There’s nobody in the world now with more experience than Ukraine in the use of SOF in a modern conventional peer war. And with how much of their population has now been fighting for a couple years, they have a lot of experienced troops from whom to skim the cream.

The force generation of Ukrainian SOF in the course of the conflict would be an interesting study in its own right.
 

more ammo for Russia,

surprised by this incursion into Russia considering reports of how understaffed and under provisioned the Ukrainians were said to be
also surprised they arent getting picked of by air support

apparently there are some pretty significant Ukrainian Air operations going on in Crimea occupying a bunch of VKS aircraft.

Added in that the Ukrainians brought a bunch of Short and Medium AD with them on the incursion.

As well as it appears that Zelensky has asked Biden for the okay to ATAMS Russian airfields within range of Kursk.

Definitely talking a bit out of his ass. He claims that Ukrainian forces have a cyber team that is scouring the internet and removing any information that could help the Russians. The problem is, cyber teams, even the good ones, don't have the tools to penetrate social media and remove posts.

Maybe - will leave that to the experts (maybe @ryanmcbeth can shed light on how) but they can use bots to dump enough claims of {whatever violates the rules on that site} to trip the algorithm that blocks the user or deletes the post. The Russians have been doing that on various media to shut down or demonetize many pro Ukrainian youtube channels for months now. Ryan did s piece a while back explaining how to write code to detect and eliminate fake news posts do I doubt it is much of a stretch - especially since your target dites are geographically fairly limited in area and even more so by origi
