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

Yep, Russians are learning that. And corrupt generals tend to suck as leaders. Yep, Russia learned both of these.

At least the Argentines were able to sink a few ships before losing their involved Navy.

Speaking of which, I reckon in Kursk we are seeing Ukraine's best-trained troops against Russia's conscripts.

Maybe the Akhmat boys will shoot a front-line TikTok, or Putin sends in a few of his Palace Guard. I doubt either of those have any combined arms experience either.

Nah, that palace guard knows all about combined arms. Gotta cross the rifle when you salute, shit like that. And it is a pain in the ass to polish boots or brass with only one arm.

I can't post a video yet, but another 6-8 vehicle russian convoy with infantry was destroyed by Ukrainian Armed Forces on the highway around Sudzha.that's all i can say. i am sure the videos will be released later by our mil.
Goncharovka, Kursk Oblast, retreating Russian forces abandoned a pair of modern T-80BVM main battle tanks on the southern end of town.

Wouldn't surprise me if whoever is in charge of the Russian counterattacks in Kursk has been told that their non-falling-out-of-window future depends on getting numbers to the front, period. Forget recon, security, plans, coordination, communication, reserves, any of that. Or even if they wanted to do any of that, their troops aren't trained to do it.

#83061

We're still quite unclear on the mission objective.  Clearly, surprise was achieved, whatever the motive.

Is this trying to Trump-proof end-of-conflict negotiations by grabbing as much territory as possible?  (We'll give you Kursk back, you give us back Donbas and Crimea?)
Is this fixing and eliminating more Russian war-making capability?

One thing Ukraine has been doing consistently is making sure the Russian population knows they're at war.

All of this, likely coupled with a "we're at home, not a war zone" mentality.  Like they're taking a school field trip to the country.

Before the war, I bet lots of Ukrainians had driven through adjacent parts of Russia, or maybe even lived there.

PS: that destroyed column was described as "infantry", but they and the drivers could have been "any specialty including clerks n jerks that were told to get in the trucks." May have just been sitting ducks whether they made it to the front or not.

Kenneth Gregg, Ukraine, this morning: (1/7) "Two interesting things have come to light: one is that yesterday the russians advanced nowhere. All attacks were repelled and the russians continue to suffer heavy manpower losses.
The second has to do with the new tactics seen in use for the first time in Kursk. We continue to advance and we can now see that we have the main vector set towards the nuclear power plant. Surprisingly, the russians still seem paralyzed. +

2:"The units that are coming - judging by the videos shown by russian bloggers - look shaky to say the least. They come with light guns, old army cars and a lot of civilian cars. In addition, the number is very small, they look more like an orderly unit.
Then we come to the interesting part and the overall picture has been gathered together from what is seen in social media and information leaked by our soldiers. It's probably no longer a secret to the russians, +

3:"...because they also have good analysts and they have been exposed to the tactics. We are using a new type of ranger units, or light infantry that are very well trained. The picture is this:
They penetrate enemy territory with a special type of drone with the task to take out enemy helicopters, drones and surveillance towers. First of all, you clear away the enemy drones. Next, we use drone jammers to make sure that no new drones can get into the sky. +

4:"Next, our UAVs come and take over local air supremacy. What's special about these UAVs is that they have a new system that allows them to continuously change frequency. It has always been a cat and mouse game between the drones and the jammers. Now it seems we are ahead of the russian jammers and it is now used to the maximum in the Kursk area. Once local air supremacy is achieved our aircraft and FVP attack the enemy defense line. +

5:"Then finally our rangers clears the trenches of what is left. Then the whole front line is moved forward and everything starts from the beginning.
In one of my updates a couple of months ago I called for a major attack by ours to throw the russians off balance. This has now been achieved and we will see consequences on the other fronts as well. +

6:"During the day new updates will surely come, but the info blockade is very tight. Deepstatemap today only reports what happened on August 8th so we have three days delay.
If the russians do not stop us within a couple of days, we will probably stay for a longer time. The information I have received indicates that we have functioning maintenance lines and we are advancing along the main roads. The flanks must be widened around our spearheads but our military leadership probably knows that. +

7:"Looking at the tactics and the rapid advance, it is clear that this operation has been planned and practiced for some time. It is remarkable that no one noticed anything and that we had the competence to plan, practice and then attack. The follow-up question is of course this: have we had NATO or French instructors with us in the picture?" END

Continuous Frequency shifting has been a thing for years but it’s way easier said than done. Thank god Ukraine got it widespread first. Maybe this bridges the gap to AI/ML jamming-resistant drones?

All Russia has to do is build 2 highways , quickly construct bridges with 60 ton weight limit to pass multiple rivers and then cut down several forests
BREAKING: A massive Ukrainian drone attack is currently underway in Kursk, Russia. While Russian air defenses have intercepted some of the drones, explosions are being reported across the region.

So just out of curiosity I looked up the Kursk Nuclear Power Plant's production and distribution.  It's responsible for power production for at least 19 regions and Oblasts to some varying degree.  It's capacity is 3,000 MWs.  I highly doubt that Russia has a smart grid of any real sort, and certainly not to deal with this sort of scenario, but just a thought, capturing this station as an objective makes more sense to me, because essentially speaking, they'd cripple Kursk, and Belgorod.  They'd have a real hard time operating trains, ect.

I would imagine their Air Force would really struggle.  Our Air Force deploys overseas a lot, has a ton of gear to deal with being off of a conventional power grid, etc.  and it might even affect their air traffic control and overall ability to monitor the airspace.  It could easily impact their ability to refuel trains and vehicles, etc. because I’d bet they wouldn’t waste money on such a scenario as invasion. Imagine the civilian population of over a million people finding themselves without power - that would put an additional strain on the Russian government.  Those people would fill up the roads out of the oblast.

🫡An excellent trend.

I also want to remind you about our fundraiser for the next FPV kamikaze drone for the Ukrainian unit "Muramasa". We have already raised $190 of the $480 goal.
