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

Disagree, Japan had thousands of kamikaze aircraft and boats that would have inflicted serious damage to any invasion force. The populace was given spears to help out! And something that some do not consider is that civilians were starving so that their military could eat. Who knows how many civilians would have died if the Allies would have prolonged the invasion attempt.
Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk on Saturday reacted to reports that revived questions about who blew up the Nord Stream pipelines in 2022, saying the initiators of the gas pipeline project should “apologize and keep quiet." That comment came after one of his deputies denied a claim that Warsaw was partly responsible for its damage.
Germany was a partner with Russia in the pipeline project. Poland has long said its own security interests have been harmed by Nord Stream.
“To all the initiators and patrons of Nord Stream 1 and 2. The only thing you should do today about it is apologise and keep quiet,” Tusk wrote on the social media portal X Saturday.
Tusk appeared to be reacting specifically to a claim by a former head of Germany’s foreign intelligence agency, BND, August Hanning, who told the German daily Die Welt that the attack on the Nord Stream gas pipelines must have had Poland’s support. Hanning said Germany should consider seeking compensation from Poland and Ukraine.

Plus, those logistics groups must have been rife with corruption. Probably still are. Missing trucks and trailers, missing parts. Fuel skimmed away. Payouts for special jobs.
17k artillery. Tomorrow 600k troops.
Artillery now doubled up on tanks. At one time they were in a tight race to 4,000.
Anyone check to see how Nina Jankowicz feels about the Russian government censoring malinformation?
Arty numbers have been on a definite uptick. Not long ago, the AFV number exceeded Arty. Hopefully the orc steel rain drops off in quantity and quality.
"Ukrainian Mig-29 fighter jet launched a French 250kg Hammer AASM missile bomb destroying a house where Russian soldiers were located in the occupied Horlivka area, Mayorska station, Donetsk province."

Ths only real question is if Musk will get a Supercharging Station set up for them in the Donbas....
Whoa, that was to close for comfort.
That’s gonna leave a mark. The officer corps is being gutted. Kinda wonder if they will continue to produce that quality of officers in the future or upgrade…
It is pretty telling that the Mi-24 is able to operate safely. Orc AA and aircraft seem to be absent. Attrition? Electronic jamming?
I sincerely doubt that helicopter was firing air to ground unguided rockets toward the ground but at an aerial target.
The second part of the clip was flares being launched.
Everything about that clip says close air support.
When I saw this I thought they were using the copter over Ukraine to knock down drones. But another response casts doubt on that.
We have 10,000 of these with about half being the older model.
Destroying supply lines for Russian forces occupying Ukraine is what ends this.
Hit the Kerch bridge, so that's no longer an option, and the Orcs are toast.
That facility is neat to Google Earth lurk at. I don't know about heavy tanks, those seem to be more difficult to integrate, but we should be shipping over every single M-113, Bradley and Stryker we can.
Also, I was lurking over Davis-Monthan and it's sad to see F-16s being wrapped in plastic for storage when we could just ship them over to Romania and Poland for spare parts if nothing else.
Likely the bird wasn’t “working” drones as you say, but my post is more generally speaking about the opportunity for the Ukes to operate aircraft in the Kursk foray. And, possibly more telling is the lack of orc aircraft or AA involvement.
Solid AP write up about the Ukrainian incursion into Russia.
