Even I felt a little bad about that joke. There were a lot of dead people in those trucks.

Holy Fack, did they ever take a beating. The best was yesterday Gerasimov in the meeting with putler telling him about how many of the enemy they had destroyed with huge numbers of course and the look on Putlers face as he knew he was full of shit....as usual.

The Kharkiv front looks to be quite far away, Luhansk even further away. That would be assuming Ukraine has been hoarding enough resources for a big offensive to the east from the rear.

Well my point is they're taking a position in the North on Russians right flank just opens them up for further raids or just strikes into areas Russians thought were safe. They can start pressuring the northern flank from areas that aren't as well defended or launch missiles and artillery at logistics centers or pipelines previously out of reach. It doesn't have to be a big offensive from their new positions to do some potentially crippling damage.

And another cucking of Russians by Chechens.

Good to see that they've got their priorities in order


Up there with the chechen commander beating the shit out of Russian conscripts, or the Chechens brutalising some russians at a checkpoint.

Russian military sources have described a recent strike on a Russian convoy near the village of Oktyabrskoye in the Kursk region as one of the deadliest and most devastating attacks of the entire war.


According to reports circulating on Russian Telegram channels and by military bloggers, the strike resulted in the destruction of “3-4 companies—a whole battalion.”


The incident has sparked significant criticism within Russian circles, with some commentators, such as “Voenny Osvedomitel,” openly condemning the authorities for what they describe as a preventable disaster.



“Not only were the trucks left stationary with soldiers inside, but this turned the destruction of the convoy into a massacre,” wrote the “Voenny Osvedomitel” Telegram channel, which is closely connected with Russian military sources.


The channel further noted that the convoy was not moving at the time of the strike and was reportedly waiting for orders. The stationary nature of the convoy likely contributed to the high casualty rate, as the trucks became easy targets for the attacking forces.


The strike has been widely discussed on social media, with many pointing to the incident as a stark example of the vulnerabilities faced by Russian forces in the region. The scale of the destruction and the resulting criticism highlight the ongoing challenges for Russian military leadership in managing and protecting their forces in contested areas like Kursk.


The high-profile nature of the strike and the significant loss of life are likely to have far-reaching implications for the conduct of the war, b

If it is called national guard this too does depends from units guys and how supplied unit is... some rus or ukr national guard type units are ....former active pros who were in regular military and some % even with decent military education under belt....and this is their home daTech Street to defend, so....it does matter a lot...from skillset till motivation level.....

And this is a different type of battle for Russia as their game plan is to just bomb and destroy everything before moving forward . It would be hard for them to destroy their own towns and villages without Putler looking extremely bad.
But then again Gerasimov said they have mostly been destroyed and contained… and he doesn’t lie.

 

[SandisLL]

I might describe one stuff about unit most likely today for English speakers more comfortably will be them to call as unpaid local volunteers.
Unit had failed ammo supplies cos they had different caliber rifles...and after this they get that they does have ammo only for some machine guns, bayonets and handguns.
Unit commander in open text had allowed to leave trenches with clause that guys will handle out ammo and weapons they had before running from trenches.
Some % of lads did this and some % were really usable.
When captain told that this is our street, we most likely will die tonight and if you agree to stay here, prepare hand grenades and attach bayonets......prepare handguns and you will do or die. Lads managed to do job, their captain died ....they managed to repel attack and hold positions against superior opponent and today this street does have his name.
While this job had been done by unpaid and highly motivated volunteers: 17-60 y.o locals. WW1 era ....

 

[Brueskie]

Dead Russian soldiers make me happy. The world grows a little brighter with the death of each one.

 

[PEB]

Russians are getting their sh$t pushed in of all places Russia.

I thought the National Guard could not be deployed outside of Russia itself?

Oh, wait...

 

[Cole train]

Just some theories about the raids objective that have come up so far

Railroad line that rus uses for logistics

Nuclear powerplant

Gas pipe to up power in upcoming negotiations

PR stunt

Trying to tie up russian troops (not working currently since russia using nat guard at moment atleast)

Artur who has traveled to Ukraine a number of times talked to Ukrainian soldiers and politicians donated tons of equipment he knows a lot of the reasoning for Ukrainian attack. Here is a big one Russians die in Russia fighting Ukrainians in Russia don't get any death benefits. Russians are surrendering 10 to 1 Ukrainian. Not happy about Ford trucks in Russia being used by Russian soldiers.

 

[SandisLL]

Artur is a bit awful. At first he does have worse English than I even if drunk condition Sandis in reality. Also technical stuff he isn't ideal at all. While he looks that really is attempting to help Ukr and doesn't hesitate to visit Ukr and help with drones supplies. BTW reality is that average Estonian does have considerably better English speech and writing.
While he really looks that is willing to visit Urkraine again and to help with drones etc AFAIAK.

He has tons of photos from Ukraine and he is a former soldier I trust much of his statements even when he sees Ukrainian issues. I like someone who analyzes from the ground and talking to people in charge. He even traveled to Canada to press for more Ukrainian aid.
