So, same as before @without Johnson”. Nothing gets done. Quite the legacy for those serving today.
This might be a little tougher than Putin thought...

Orcs are trying to create more buffer near Belgorod.

As we surveyed the damage there was the screech of yet more glide bombs being released, followed by the heavy thud of the explosion.
Russia's air force is having an increasingly deadly effect, and for now Ukraine has no answer.
Ukrainian officials say Russia had the capability to aggravate the situation in border areas but not to capture the city of Kharkiv itself.
Reports suggest Moscow is hoping to create a 10km (six-mile) buffer zone for its Belgorod region, after a series of Ukrainian cross-border attacks.

Probably too much risk for Poland and Romania as Russia would almost certainly target those launchers.

Hello El presidente. Honored to see your tiny dick on here.
It could be easily done. Russia hasn’t been able to project air power against a massively under equipped Ukraine. If Western nations pulled forward assets they could easily enforce a no fly zone that Russia would not dare violate.
Tree Fiddy planes, nice..

Short recap: Drones.
US special operations leaders are having to do more with less and learning from the war in Ukraine
U.S. special operations commanders are having to do more with less and they're learning from the war in Ukraine, That means juggling how to add more high-tech experts to their teams while still cutting their overall forces by about 5,000 troops over the next five years.

Recent comment from a Canadian officer on the Battlefront thread:
You know it is funny, the military conservative crowd really has basically the same three arguments:
- Ukraine War is an anomaly. A “real” war with the US will be “different”.
- Someone will figure out this drone/ISR thing and we will be back to where we started.
- We will need to keep doing it the old way because there is no new better way.
Ground forces do not advance as fast as you can move people. They move as fast as one can deliver effect and see. The core of ground warfare is pulling away from the human being. At its core is a complex system of ISR and automation. We already see this in air and maritime domains - when was the last time two warships had to board each other and cross swords on the quarter deck? The days of the dogfight are now competitive sensing and launching long range missiles 100+ kms away from each other. Why the land domain thinks it is any different is beyond me but “unless my infantry can still press the bayonet it is not land warfare.”
Land warfare is evolving. It is what warfare does. The worst answer to it is “let’s spend a ridiculous amount of money preserving the old system”. Spend a ridiculous amount of money on a new system that can keep up. The reality is that direct fires are becoming secondary and the exception, not the rule. Indirect and over the horizon precision fires are becoming the primary mechanism through which ground warfare is fought. Hell, the signs were there for years as we know artillery and indirect fires are the primary effect component in ground warfare for decades.
This entire tank-thing is simply pressure being put on direct fires by systems that can engage, when plugged into a modern C4ISR architecture, at ranges with which direct fire systems cannot compete. And here is the thing, I think they may have been right - those that said the tank is dead with the advent of the ATGM. It just took us 40+ years to realize it.
Thousands flee as Russia presses a renewed border assault near Ukraine’s second largest city
VILCHA, Ukraine (AP) — Thousands more civilians have fled Russia’s renewed ground offensive in Ukraine’s northeast that has targeted towns and villages with a barrage of artillery and mortar fire, officials said Sunday.
The intense battles have forced at least one Ukrainian unit to withdraw in the Kharkiv region, capitulating more land to Russian forces across less defended settlements in the so-called contested “gray zone” along the Russian border.
By Sunday afternoon, the town of Vovchansk, among the largest in the northeast with a prewar population of 17,000, emerged as a focal point in the battle.
Volodymyr Tymoshko, the head of the Kharkiv regional police, said Russian forces were in the outskirts of the town and approaching from three directions. “Infantry fighting is already taking place,” he said. A Russian tank was spotted along a major road leading to the town, Tymoshko said, illustrating Moscow’s confidence to deploy heavy weaponry.

Top level military changes seem to me like finding a scapegoat when things aren't going well.
Any side!
Any side!
What is the take by our usual Russian sympathizers, @binsfeldcyhawk2 and @seminole97 on the wholesale Russian changes? Everything good comrades?
I'm hoping this means something terrible is happening to Russia or its forces that we do not yet know about.
