I hear you and agree. Its easy to see that from here. But they've been fighting a war against a stronger opponent since February 2022. Even the mighty US military would stumble on occasion when fighting that hard, that long. Overall (and with a lot of help) they are punching well above their weight class.

Totally agree. And like I said I'm in full support.

That's just the kind of statement that can rub people they rely on to support them wrong.

Russian tactical aviation in a bad way and steadily getting worse.

"Data compiled by Newsweek in August found that roughly 20 percent of all aircraft and helicopter losses by the VKS in this war have been due to either their own units shooting them down or as a consequence of poor maintenance or pilot error."

I can't help but laugh when I see things like this because they just confirm just how much a third world sheethole Putin's Russia really is.

And people thought he was a near-peer. *itch, please.

I don't think it was a coincidence that Turkey expelled Hamas leadership this morning.

Sounds like the deal got done.

Who says the didn't communicate it to Mosad or any other western intelligence. I'm sure they wanted probable deniability. Not surprising.

Attempted assault (I use that word loosely) by Russian BMD-2 IFV on Ukrainian positions. Guy that fell off at 0:48 was lucky. The whole thing is a clown show. Lets all ride out and get shot up by ATGM's. What are these dumb asses at the end going to do sitting in an open field with NO cover in daylight with Uke drones watching their every move? My mouth is open watching the whole thing. Not even sure how the one guy made it out of that tin can. What a clown show by Ivan.

Likely the Russian air assets are very poorly maintained and not reliable which explains why for the most part they have been absent from the theater

It likely wasn't ever a bridgehead. They've had SOF raids incorrectly reported as "omg Ukraine's over the river!" several times. The most recent was likely one of the same.

Possibly that some sort of operation is planned by either side. At least, those are the cards shown. That doesn't mean it will end up that way. Heck, it could even be Ukraine trying to draw Russian forces away from the Zaporizhzhia front. Either way, they want those civilians out of the way for something.

Good update on the fighting around Avdiivka in the east and at the Dnipro river crossing in the south.

Today's SITREP.

Thanks.

The health spending freeze will severely affect Russian combat veterans and by extension, morale on the frontlines

More than 50% of the soldiers requiring long-term medical care lost limbs, and 20% needed upper limb amputations. These spending increases are not funded

Yesterday, Russians tried to use one of their TOS-1A against Ukrainian forces in Avdiivka, but a drone located them. Unfortunately for the Russian crew the Flamethrower was fully loaded with missiles. The following explosion turned the vehicle into the tiniest bits.

those TOS's always seem to go off spectacularly when hit.

The trailing vehicle that started to turn the corner then noped out after seeing the damage was lucky it wasn't closer. That shock wave was huge!

Mostly what we know by observation ... Russia's military can field a credible defense but thier offensive skills are incompetent bordering on amateurish.

What Putin can't steal; he destroys. "There's been fighting here since 2014, but since the start of Russia's full-scale invasion of last February, the population has shrunk from more than 30,000 to just over 1,000."
