That's good news but there are a few more pretty developed lines behind it. They still need to advance 60 km to seriously threaten the East West transport without ATACMS. I do see a nice kessel forming NW of Polohy which is a good sign. That area is also bifurcated by a creek/river (not sure what width or depth on that thing is) but that always complicates evac and all of that area is already inside artillery range, I'd expect the Russians to pull back towards that town pretty significantly in the next 36 hours.

Intense fighting all along the front as Ukraine presses southeast and the Russians counter northwest in an effort to divert Ukrainian resources.

For people that took Hersh's stories (like Nordstream) seriously. He literally used a Russian phrase that isn't really spoken in English to describe Zelensky



This should be your takeaway

Reminds me of this old commercial.



Also, perhaps I missed it if someone said this already, but:

Hmmmm…..I suspect that is a longer term training aspect than allotted right now. I have no firsthand knowledge, only what my father in law ('55) has told me from 105Gs years ago…….
Being in TexAgs jail changes a man……..no, not really

On Denys Davidov's telegram channel yesterday there is video of an Mi-8 within Russia

coming in to land in a dusty field and the sand must have fouled the rotors because it flips over and bursts into flames.

only the best equipment for Mother Russia!!

The most aggressive side wins, pretty much. The losers are overwhelmed and start to feel isolated and panic that they are losing ground and have no way to retreat, and eventually individually and collectively decide they aren't dying for this and attempt to surrender if given an opportunity. If the Ukrainian can hack through this mess, they should find each successive defensive position weaker and generally manned by fewer and less capable defenders.

In fact I would suspect some of the trench lines are patrolled rather than completely manned and are paper thin, and Russia was hoping to withdraw forces back to defend them, given their own manpower limitations. A mobile force just might roll right through the rearward defense lines.

Low level flight.

Most anti aircraft systems and radars have a ceiling of 100ft which is the reason for the low flight. Downside in places like Ukraine you have systems like MANPADS that can take them down

Interesting that all the land the pilot flew over was planted. I'd think that would not be the case anywhere near the battle zone.

Assuming this was in response the the trench clearing IFV assault post vid above.

The UKE tactics here were pretty poor. The exit alone out of the IFV appeared to have never been rehearsed.

It would not surprise me one bit if the shot to the arm was friendly fire.

As bad as the Ukes were, the russians were far worse and appeared to put up no fight at all.

As your post states the more aggressive side won out and I am still wondering how the Ukes were able to chase down and get the orcs to surrender through such thick cover even with drone coverage. These orcs must have failed the 2 mile run miserably because it appears they didn't make it 3-400M.

Violence of Action can overcome a lot of other shortfalls.

That is what happens when you are conscripting troops up to 65 years old.

The mines are still a huge problem for Ukrainian advance. They are taking armor and IFV losses with every thrust.
