More from Rylsk, Kursk region. Column hit?

Updates from this morning make it appear to have been a convoy carrying a decent amount of Russian infantry.

Putin is going to get his wish of Russia being united with Ukraine under one flag.

Russia: 2nd best army in Ukraine, 2nd best army in Russia.

And I imagine those Russian troops may not be too keen on fighting them since those troops may not be their best-equipped or trained - it's like when my grandpa handed a 11 year-old me a rifle and told me to go deal with a badger he saw near one of my grandma's gardens.

Well, you can also combine all that with the fact that leadership has apparently learned absolutely nothing by fighting in Ukraine.  "Hey guys, lets all stage up together, with all our gear, equipment, and shit, in a nice orderly line.  Make sure we do it on a highway, very visible to everyone as a show of force.  Make sure we get as close to each other as possible, and lets do this in broad daylight!"

I can't believe I grew up fearing these morons.   They seem to suck at war.

[Dahobbs 18,304]

It seems like Ukraine has realized that Russia has some marginal competence in defending fortified positions or in attacking fixed locations, but absolutely sucks when you make things more active and maneuver based. Keep attacking where Russia isn't ready. Get behind supply lines and fortifications. Russia's clumsy response will inevitably give you juicy targets like columns of troops. The shortest path to freeing the rest of Ukraine goes through Russia.

If the Ukrainians can keep marginalizing Russian air power, the Russians at current seem to have absolutely no answer for this, none.  Honestly, without minefields, they are absolute shit, but hey, if you can force them to mine their own country, that's less mines in Ukraine.

This topo map makes it seem that, if UA digs in, they've got some elevated terrain and a river to defend from should they decide. I think that was mentioned by someone earlier which gives them fire control over the rail line running NW to SE

They wrecked that column.  I don’t think it killed 500 but it killed a shitload per all the bodies you can see in trucks.  And I notice there are more videos of Russians filming troop convoys and lots of Russians fleeing - they don’t seem interested in staying behind to defend their homes.

A morning video of a destroyed Russian military convoy in the Kursk region has appeared online. The footage shows burnt-out trucks with the bodies of dozens of Russian soldiers scattered among them.

It is estimated that each of these trucks can carry up to 35 fully equipped military personnel. The video shows 14 destroyed vehicles, suggesting that the Russian army could have lost up to 490 soldiers in a single night in the strike.

This could be one of the largest single losses for the Russian army since the start of a full-scale war.

We were able to confirm the authenticity of the video and establish its geolocation - it was filmed in the village of Oktyabrskoye, Kursk region.

The Live UA map is looking really busy in that area. The highlighted skull icon indicates where the column was hit. I like this site because you can click each icon and over to the right, they lead you to the original source for each report.

Modern German tanks and modern American rifles, killing Russians in the Kursk region.  Didn’t have that on my bingo card for 2024.

I am SHOCKED, SHOCKED I say that Ukraine hasn't bombed this grocery store and every elementary school for 100km.

[KYHorn 17,613]

Ol Gerasimov was told about the Ukrainian troop buildup ahead of the attack but dismissed it. Then told Putin at the security council meeting that the advance had been stopped (that video has been posted). Gerasimov was not part of the most recent security council meeting. Hang in there, Gerry.

Looks like Ukraine has gained controls of Sudzha or at least controls most of it. May have been NoelReports that talked about it having defensible high ground that would allow Ukraine to put the train tracks within artillery range.

I think you could argue the Kashmir incursions might qualify. Both have nukes and both claim it. It is my #1 scenario for someone firing them off.

[Ghost of LL 15,699]

The big result of this little foray--whether it is a "raid," a "reconnaissance-in-force," or a full-on invasion--is that it has conclusively demonstrated to American policymakers that Ukraine can use American weapons in Russia (even to the point of using American weapons to occupy Russian territory) and Russia will do fuck-all about it.

The American restrictions can be safely rescinded.

A significant question, and giant uncertainty, is how well AFU can maintain logistics support as this intrusion dives farther into Kursk.

True. But seeing as how they're not Russians, there's a good chance they thought about that, and made plans for it.

And that didn’t go so well for the Argentinians. Just because you hand somebody a rifle it doesn’t make him a soldier.
