This might be a little tougher than Putin thought...

About 400 more personnel. Otherwise some equipment but really slowing down. Hopefully those new jets pump up today’s stats.
Russia has a literally bottomless supply of apcs and tanks. Not great quality, but will get the job done in numbers. Unless Ukraine gets some kind of increased air support and guided munitions, they are going to have to break the morale of the Russian army.
 
The weird thing about this about this to me is that we are basically being very open that we have an inside source and we are concerned about letting Putin know we have a source. Or they are bullshitting.
Great point-maybe we are just trying to make him even more paranoid!

The Sukhoi Su-25 Grach (Russian: Грач (rook); NATO reporting name: Frogfoot) is a subsonic, single-seat, twin-engine jet aircraft developed in the Soviet Union by Sukhoi. It was designed to provide close air support for the Soviet Ground Forces. The first prototype made its maiden flight on 22 February 1975. After testing, the aircraft went into series production in 1978 at Tbilisi in the Georgian Soviet Socialist Republic.

Early variants included the Su-25UB two-seat trainer, the Su-25BM for target-towing, and the Su-25K for export customers. Some aircraft were being upgraded to Su-25SM standard in 2012. The Su-25T and the Su-25TM (also known as the Su-39) were further developments, not produced in significant numbers. The Su-25, and the Su-34, were the only armoured, fixed-wing aircraft in production in 2007.[1] Su-25s are in service with Russia, other CIS members, and export customers.

The type has seen combat in several conflicts during its more than 30 years in service. It was heavily involved in the Soviet–Afghan War, flying counter-insurgency missions against the Mujahideen. The Iraqi Air Force employed Su-25s against Iran during the 1980–88 Iran–Iraq War. Most were later destroyed or flown to Iran in the 1991 Persian Gulf War. The Georgian Air Force used Su-25s during the Abkhazia War from 1992 to 1993. The Macedonian Air Force used Su-25s against Albanian insurgents in the 2001 Macedonia conflict and, in 2008, Georgia and Russia both used Su-25s in the Russo-Georgian War. African states, including the Ivory Coast, Chad, and Sudan have used the Su-25 in local insurgencies and civil wars. Recently the Su-25 has seen service in the Russian intervention in the Syrian Civil War and the clashes of the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh War as well as the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.[2]WIKI

Kyiv Independent had a post saying Belarusian troops had entered Ukraine then took it down 10 minutes later.
 
The OTR-21 Tochka (NATO: SS-21 “Scarab”) is a short-range, road-mobile, solid propellant, single warhead ballistic missile designed for battlefield deployment. It was designed as a replacement for the Free Rocket Over Ground (FROG) missile series. Reports suggest that it can be launched in either a ballistic or cruise missile mode.1 The ballistic mode provides an increased range and speed, but the cruise mode allows for stealth and higher accuracy. Two versions are confirmed to have been developed, the ‘Scarab A’ and the ‘Scarab B’ (Tochka U).

The world needs to focus on one thing right now:hijacking and using the internet and cell phone and satellite feeds and radio waves bringing all force haste to break through Moscow censors and propaganda machine so every woman and man, soldier and police officer know the real story.

Amen, friend. The Russian people can over-throw Putin. The have to go in masses. The military will follow the people.

Folks, we are watching history. Remember that.
 
I’m with you. Just sayin this is about to get real. Unfortunately countries like Germany allowed thi to even happen. The EU was week. They may be showing a little strength now it isn’t enough
Agreed. And once the Russians get in they’ll get even harder to get out.

Perhaps I am sporting blue and yellow glasses, but it looks like tactical air support could shift the tide almost immediately, while Russian forces are still lined up in a column. Once that opportunity passes though, phase I looks bleak. At that point, the insurgency battle will be slow and long. Right now the iron is smoking hot and it needs to be hammered.

This. Time for the world to show courage. Let Putin watch his forces get destroyed. Let Putin go to his bunker and shoot himself.

I’d love to believe you, but I think there’s a good reason that hasn’t happened in some form already. As to the glasses, I’m half Ukrainian.
