I missed the joke too-figured it was just Russian propaganda.
This might be a little tougher than Putin thought...

Good thing Russia sucks so bad at propaganda.
Its literally on the image. You cant not see if youre looking at the image. Just take the L and slink away on this one.
You mean in the bottom right corner, that had what looks like a date. No offense I wasn't expecting a where's waldo map. I am at work. Like I said not spending massive amount of time analyzing. It looked very similar to the current operation so made sense.
Spoiler Alert!

UA defense & small-scale counterattacks in Donbas along w/ recent deliberate attacks in Kherson (destroying RU logistics, bridges & ammo dumps) has generated a commander's favorite ally: momentum! It has also placed RU on the horns of a dilemma: Where (& how) to defend?
If I were Ukraine's field commander, here are my questions: -Can we continue Donetz defense (all indications, yes). -Are actions in Kherson Oblast achieving objectives (yes) -If we attack toward Kharkiv will it draw RU forces away from Donbas & increase pressure (likely) 9/
I have no insight into Gen Zaluzhnyi's thinking, but he's a good commander. He's likely considering these things...knowing a move on Kharkiv is bold & risky. My guess: we'll see continued offensive in Kherson, continued active defense in Donetsk, smaller Kharkiv offensive 10/

Probably after watching above video
You took enough time to make a comment after not looking at it? The phrase "you have twice as many eyes and ears as mouths, so listen and look 2x as much as you talk" seems apt.
He has a bad case of "fat face", too.
Damn them.

Big takeaway for me on this is that the vehicles are painted with aerial identification.
Haven't seen that yet. Suggests Ukraine expects to control the sky where they're headed...
All Russian telegrams simultaneously posted that there isn't any panic in Balakiya
Probably nothing to it...

Another big day. They going to have more dead soldiers than we had all of 10 year war in Vietnam by October 1st at this rate. A steady 350-460 a day.

Here is an AP story about the transfer of munitions from NK to Russia, which is being vigorously denied by Russia. There are doubts about the quality of the NK munitions, and how quickly they can move them to Russia. The story also details that instead of currency, the NKs may want food, fuel, and technology in return. Food seems doubtful as Fatty Un doesn’t care if his people starve. Fuel? Maybe. Technology is the scary one. The NKs might be asking for technology needed to do nuclear tests. Is Russia desperate enough to pass nuclear assets?

Another big day indeed. They must be destroying pockets of clustered APVs/tanks/troops rather than picking them off one by one.
Thought the same thing. They claim to have destroyed 36 APVs and 20 tanks yesterday. Anyone know how many troops, on average, might be in an APV?
Not an expert AT ALL but it looks like 2-3 crew members, and up to 10 passengers per APV. I think tanks have like 3 to 4 people in them, but hopefully when they were blown up there a bunch of Russian soldiers sitting on top of them being transported.

War is hell...10 days, 7-10 miles of progress. And that's good. Wow, most of us have no concept of what these people are going through.
So, is Russia just in the survive and somewhat retreat/regroup mode? I don't see how this is sustainable on many levels, particularly with winter coming.
Russia is getting punked right now. Ukraine will take everything west of the river. Then it becomes difficult. The logistical benefit of the river will be a logistical challenge in retaking the rest of Ukraine. Europe is hoping Ukraine can win this war by early winter.
