If that was not an Ukrainian attack, then who? Belarusian saboteurs with armed helos? Mutinous Russian helo pilots?
I've done a thread previously on Russian casualty ratios in order to demonstrate how the ratio of dead to wounded meant Russia didn't have a modern military medical system.

This meant that for every two dead Russians, there were three wounded due

(2/2) The probable loss of fuel and ammunition supplies from these depots will likely add additional short-term strain to Russia’s already stretched logistic chains. Supplies to Russian forces encircling Kharkhiv (60 km from Belgorod) may be particularly affected.

Pick them up and reuse them on the Russians. Sliding them off a road into a ditch just creates a problem a few years after the war when some farmer hits them with his tractor (vehicle of war). I doubt the Russians use mines that self-delete like the US uses.
Mad props to the Doolittle Choppers. There is probably a worldwide shortage of brass as the Ukes are using it for all their balls.

Russia can regroup, but Ukraine can move its forces from Kyiv to support the JFO too and clearly Ukraine still has aviation assets if needed. Plus, Russian forces are struggling to hold positions in Chernihiv, Sumy, and Kharkiv as an economy of force mission. 2/

Reports indicate that Ukrainian forces have recaptured Ivankiv from Russia. This could be a significant strategic capture as it sits at a key road junction & would likely trap any Russian forces south of this point (on the west).

I have been reading up on the Russo-Afghanistan war. I thought I was fairly versed on the main parts of it but as I dive deeper into it, it is rather shocking the similarities between the detail, especially in the beginning. Basically they invaded a country vastly underprepared in men and material with horribly mistaken assumptions of how the fighting would go. Even about the same troop numbers. The main difference I can tell so far is that the Ukes are being far more effective with the available aid.
Same playbook over and over and over in the last 60 years. Russia deserves this. They needed to have been brought to heel some time to go and the cold calculations of war dictate that this current conflict is the best chance at doing so. Yes, we are playing off Ukraine against Russia. I feel for the Ukrainians on a level that most don't but there is no denying that their struggle can, and should, have more effects than simply just surviving. This is also an opportunity, no two ways around it. Russia did the same thing to us in Vietnam.
The biggest question has not changed though. How far will Putin go? I kind of understand the unknown fear of Europe now when Napoleon was at his peak. One man.....one man breathes and the world shudders. Pretty crazy to think about.
Rambling post mostly, but just goes to show how inhumane a machine the Russian people can be at war. Against enemies and their own.
