  1. This is almost certainly the plan. Russia pretty much has to respond, which significantly extends their defensive lines. It also potentially provides opportunities for Ukraine to snipe gatherings of troops and vehicles and observe / disrupt logistics.
  2. Just a reminder about who we're dealing with up in Belgorod. Such an odd situation.
  3. Reports of things happening in Belgorod. Grain of salt at this point
  4. 7 months later and he's proud! Impressive.
  5. They would've gotten away with it, if it wasn't for those pesky Ukrainians. And that loitering munition
  6. Potentially a command post that was hit
  7. Also worth noting that, while they didn't receive the F-16s in time for the offensive, it likely changes the calculus on how their current aircraft are used during the offensive.
  8. Good point. Everything that went on wrt the previous administration certainly helped make it easier to get support from dems on an issue they would've ordinarily been more likely to oppose.
  9. They've had surprisingly good coverage of the war. Most of it is aggregated from other outlets, though well-cited.
  10. This guy can overstate things sometimes
  11. Video he's describing:
  12. I dunno- I guess they would've had to get an Avenger into Russia in order to hit those aircraft depending on how close to Bryansk the aircraft actually were.
  13. "Lt. Gen. Serhiy Nayev, who is in charge of Ukrainian forces stationed along the border with Belarus and Russia" "Nayev said the air defense system had already proved to be "very effective" because when deployed they are "constantly on the move" and "ready for the next strike". The Avenger can be used to intercept helicopters or low-flying aircraft." It sure seems like they're trying to say "this is what shot down those 2 helicopters and fighters" without saying it (they aren't even mentioned in an article about recent Ukrainian AD successes).
  14. I'm assuming you're writing this tongue-in-cheek.
