I don't know if this is sustainable at all, but an interesting thing I did see was heavy equipment rolling in. (i.e. equipment for digging entrenchments). As to whether or not this was accurate to the time and location, I have no idea. However, if that was indeed accurate, it at least gives the appearance that the Ukrainians have every intention of digging in at some point. If anything has been proven thus far, it's that taking territory is incredible difficult, for either side in this. To that line of thought, if you've managed to take territory, it serves you well to defend it and attempt to keep it.

Looks just as shitty as his old place.

I'm sure you are correct, just interesting that it pulled up that way.

Lyubimovka is right near the Sumy border so absolutely correct. Interestingly, Novio, not gonna work here anymore, pops up for me on Google maps about 10 miles south, southwest of Kursk. Interestingly, the ISW had Miliutino mentioned about 10 miles southwest of there.

Institute for the Study of War Kursk Incursion map link https://storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/83a2f24901c941d581c0c523ecd2619b All positions have been geo located, so this map lags compared to real time. Unconfirmed reports (non geo located) have the Ukrainians as far as Miliutino, which is an odd area for them to be.

It's difficult to tell because some of the different spellings, (Ukrainian vs Russian) but if below is correct, if I'm reading the map correctly, they are only about 10 miles from Kursk as of several hours ago.

That's what police normally call "Tuesday", or frankly any other day.

He's just pissed they don't allow monster trucks

Holy Shit, these dumb motherfuckers lined up their reinforcements in a column.

Speaking of Monty Python - "Run Away!"

I'd have to imagine that they've sown plenty of confusion on the field, time to exploit that.

A bit of wish casting here, but if ever there was a perfect time for a Kerch Bridge demolition to happen, this would be it.

No, they aren't they are involved with contracts with Artemis, and it's been a while since I've read up on it, but while the new Shephard rocket is tourism, it's next iteration is the new Glenn, designed to directly compete with Space X's dragon.

Another thing to consider, I read the other day that there were intercepted calls from the Russian Railroad honchos which indicated that they were concerned about a serious shutdown of the system due to, and I promise I'm not making this up, ball bearings (cue Fletch). Another thought may well be that by doing this, it will further exhaust an already extremely strained Russian logistics system. Basically, they may well have Intel that Russia has no real meaningful way to respond to this incursion, beyond air power, at least not in any meaningful quick way. Given that Russian pilots are terrified of getting anywhere near the Ukrainians due to hand held anti-air, that may well be moot as well. In an effort to bolster or even rally a defense for Kursk, the Russians may well completely starve other areas of ammo, food, etc. Someone mentioned Sun Tzu above, and one thing he was big on fighting on the ground you want to fight on (classification of terrain, I believe he called it).

They are the small pox.

I wonder if the thought is, preparing an offensive against the Russian fortified lines has proven incredibly difficult (at least within Ukraine), especially given the mine fields. By advancing here, where there don't appear to be dense mine fields, the Ukrainians felt they could capture significant territory, and perhaps get Russia to pull men and material from the Karkhiv front? Additionally, if they can manage to hold it for any amount of time, it thins Russian resources that can be diverted to Ukraine. So is this a start of a one-two counter punch sequence? If they detect any sort of troop movement in the Karkhiv front to reinforce Kursk, do they then make a move there as well. If they can take an hold territory, quite frankly I think that's smart, because at the end of the day, that's a real bargaining chip to get back at least some of their territory if this enters some sort of mediation.

Just recently a group of 4 volunteers emerged from a 360 day Mars simulation. Just imagine, if they'd been on a starliner flight they'd be nearly 1/6 of the time there for real.

Come on man, we follow the Geneva Convention.

I'm not sure I believe this chart, there is no way UAB has 13% of the state, none.
