Any updates on the kursk incursion? I haven't seen any meaningful progress by the AFU for a lil bit but I haven't checked any war maps in the last 48hrs.

I'm pretty sure every pard enthusiast itt is aware of the donbass/eastern front collapsing for the Ukrainians, so Ima thinking that the AFU needs to either double down in Kursk or open up another front via le maneuver warfare.

When the Kursk incursion happened, it forced the Russians to unveil its latest guide-by-wire lancet variant "the prince of novgorod" (as its been dubbed by Russian sources). This thing is "un-jammable" and once produced in sufficient quantities, it will easily clear west of Pokrovsk to the Dnipro River (nothing but flat terrain, which is a drone operators best friend)

Ukraine needs another round of military toys or else it's honestly not looking too great.

Ukraine pulled troops from other places (including the Pokrovsk direction) to be able to attack Kursk. Great idea when you're already low on manpower and resources.

Several bloggers are reporting Ukraine is now reinforcing Pokrovsk because they're losing ground there at an alarming rate.

The Russians are aware of it and are wiping out Ukrainian convoys that are heading towards Pokrovsk.

well this is a horrifying new development
I'm reasonably confident this is a weapons test on an empty tree line and not actual combat or I wouldn't post it, but its still not clear which side is testing flamethrower drones though both could have them deployed with ease

Incendiary drone. They drop white phosphorus/thermite and are absolutely devastating to tanks/armor. Both sides use different variants but afaik, no side has mass produced them yet. Scary stuff

Ya, the eastern front is collapsing at an alarming rate but I'm sure the remaining f16s will turn the tide!

Shouldn't this also be absolutely devastating to infantry in trenches? :wacko:

You don't even get what I'm pointing out, lol

I mentioned that you (as an obvious outsider because you don't live in Russia) called Putin an evil dictator which is none of your business.

US citizens (not outsiders) obviously loved him for wiping Iraq off the map.


I mean, mass arrests of people who question your narrative for invading a sovereign nation is pretty much in evil dicatorship territory no? not to mention the periodic killing of political opponents

why are you so hell bent on bending over backwards to defend a tyrant?

Why do you call them orcs? They are 100% like you. Slaves who got to obey their master for their country. Pray that your country doesn't do a draft or you'll also be called an orc.

what else would you call a group of savage uncivilized inhuman barbarians who feast on human flesh?

I'd be embarrassed to share fan fic/yellow journalism as reason to believe something
