There was a discussion about the FSB \u2013 Wagner connection, that NATO is deploying 300,000 soldiers against Russia&#8217;s western border and that there are five brigades in reserve at the southern front + two marine brigades and 20 at the contact lines.<\/p>\n<p>A thought that struck me is how effective the drone weapon has been \u2013 one unit takes out 10 tanks during one night shift \u2013 a single unit.<\/p>\n<p>And in extension, that civilian initiatives have made a big difference in this war from donations, large and small, all the way up to drones for Ukraine \u2013 organizations and that crowdfunded satellite.<\/p>\n<p>The drones take out tanks, take out Russians in trenches, have real-time intelligence for attacking Ukrainian units, send target coordinates in real time to Art-Uber and so on, everything is wizard level.<\/p>\n<p>The drone weapon has made a difference and it has made a difference because Ukraine has been able to supply the numbers that the Russians could not manage and that is probably largely due to private initiatives.<\/p>\n<p>Sure, we have the 2,500 kamikaze drones and it would be fun to get a total figure on drones delivered through private initiatives but I think domestic UA production has surely also gotten help from enthusiasts. It&#8217;s not just purchases and drone school, it&#8217;s know-how and materials for own production as well.<\/p>\n<p>It feels good to have been able to contribute to the war in this way through, for my part, drones4ukraine even though life in the electricity underclass has made the donations highly symbolic.<\/p>\n<p>A civil war \u2013 almost like the popular movement and communism the Russians have imagined in all their revolutions they have been involved in over the years and now they got it right in the face, and it was real.<\/p>\n<p>The fact is that the whole conflict since 2014 has been a people&#8217;s uprising against a corrupt and fascist system and the citizens in the free West rallied faster than their governments \u2013 you almost have to search to find a better sunshine story on popular revolution for a good cause. Lenin&#8217;s mummified corpse probably spins in the mausoleum out of jealousy. He murdered several millions without even coming close to this.<\/p>\n<p>This blog has probably donated a few crowns through the war and since the drone weapon has been so effective it should not be underestimated. Otherwise, in war, it is usually said that it does not matter for the course except if you are on site \u2013 what can the little person do in big sweeping world events.<\/p>\n<p>In this war, the little person could buy drones that reasonably have taken out hundreds of tanks if not more?<\/p>\n<p>Ukraine fights better every day on all levels. Something that was lost in the numbers and materiel discussion is competence. Since reverse Darwinism applies for the Russians where the spearhead takes proportionally more damage than the rear, it is likely that they have for quite some time been severely short also on vehicle crews, batch leaders, company commanders, platoon leaders and specialists.<\/p>\n<p>It is probably most evident with tanks\/IFVs and in units larger than platoon attacks.<\/p>\n<p>Now they have some luck in misfortune because they will go on defense which requires much less experience and training.<\/p>\n<p>But there is also a task force behind that will try to push back UA breakthroughs when they come and they need to master company and battalion combat and have competent crews for heavy vehicles \u2013 they are very heavily decimated and a significantly smaller threat now than in December. It&#8217;s not just that there are enough modified T62 and BT50 with smoke mushroom turrets, they must also be able to be led in combat both individually and in groups.<\/p>\n<p>A tank with a bad order and untrained crew is just a big target.<\/p>\n<p>On the subject that things are going sh1t for Russia, UBS has started mass-checking Russian bank customers.<\/p>\n<p>Almost makes you suspect that the Credit Suisse case led to someone being able to put in a hard demand on UBS? (I&#8217;m not saying the crisis and takeover were coordinated\/created but that takeover went more than suspiciously fast\/smooth and then immediately all Russian accounts are under review)<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/thedeaddistrict\/status\/1638024843927994368?s=46&amp;t=SRC-VOh8uACwn0msl3kFDA\" rel=\"nofollow ugc\">https:\/\/twitter.com\/thedeaddistrict\/status\/1638024843927994368?s=46&amp;t=SRC-VOh8uACwn0msl3kFDA<\/a><\/p>\n<p>And the night legend Erik14 posted a note about Chinese company stock prices dropping when Xi was in Russia \u2013 the market is both judge and executioner and does not wait and watch it seems.<\/p>\n<p>I believe China is balancing on a very tightrope here and the dictatorship is very economically vulnerable so this visit is probably the last lifeline China tries. It&#8217;s a bit like acupuncture, the West can with very small legal means send an overly clear signal to China that they can&#8217;t afford to brush off \u2013 my opinion.<\/p>\n<p>Rybar nails the coffin for the mobilization, his view is that they try everything else before general mobilization and that is done only when it is too late.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/rybar_en\/status\/1637896042313142272?s=20\" rel=\"nofollow ugc\">https:\/\/twitter.com\/rybar_en\/status\/1637896042313142272?s=20<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Regarding Bakhmut, I think Gregg has been vindicated?<\/p>\n<p>Then Rob Lee&#8217;s analysis is very well written and roughly what we think (I was probably third on that yesterday in the thread but that was still better than being fifth in the picture with Putin on his knees in front of Xi \u2013 which by the way is now confirmed as an absolute truth, he really did that and still has anxiety and knee pain).<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RALee85\/status\/1637880591898095618?s=20\" rel=\"nofollow ugc\">https:\/\/twitter.com\/RALee85\/status\/1637880591898095618?s=20<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The meeting with Xi was a demonstration that Putin is broken, it was his &#8220;Biden moment&#8221; and he barely dared to look Xi in the eyes.<\/p>\n<p>There is absolutely a phase two here and that is that China does not grow too strong so that you have just replaced one criminal clan with another, which is also stronger.<\/p>\n<p>Vuhledar does not end, now there should be a couple of new brigades attacking in that area I have gathered. The burn rate down there is extreme.<\/p>\n<p>Then MatsExtrude has flagged Avdiivka earlier and the undersigned did a quick map check and dismissed everything as unfounded but the Russians did not listen to that at all, have had some success and now taken all of Krashnohorivka.<\/p>\n<p>Feels like the wrong time to give up Avdiivka so probably there will be a more intense defense of it?<\/p>\n<p>I base that on the fact that since UA wants to go on the offensive, every larger community they give up now is something that will cost them 5 times more to retake later this spring I think.<\/p>\n<p>It also seems to be &#8220;regular&#8221; Russian units if you interpret the unit maps, and very armor-heavy according to Accentmannen.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s starting to feel like a repeat of the miracle at Vuhledar where they broke through brigades (reduced but that\u2019s probably established now) in just over a week.<\/p>\n<p>The northern extent N looks seriously risky\u2026<\/p>\n<p>You should always listen to Matsextrude, that\u2019s today\u2019s lesson \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m pretty sure that for the Russians to launch a renewed spring offensive, they need to mobilize a large number beyond what they have today, the swirl in my head says so.<\/p>\n<p>This number needs to be trained and if it\u2019s to be better than infantry, they probably need at least 5 months?<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s probably possible to calculate with certainty the Russian capability to go on the offensive this spring and summer.<\/p>\n<p>That might not stop them from doing it anyway, and going to their deaths, but the chance of success would then be even lower than the winter offensive.<\/p>\n<p>For Ukraine, it\u2019s about being smart here, which they have shown high capability for, and they probably need to throw the Russians off balance through a series of offensives where they are weak as well as maximum chaos with the drone weapon and liberation movements in Belarus, Russia, and Georgia.<\/p>\n<p>Deploying 300,000 NATO soldiers along Russia\u2019s western border is infinitely smart.<\/p>\n<p>I think combatting logistics is ongoing constantly?<\/p>\n<p>And I think front-line pre-emptive strikes have started together with reconnaissance?<\/p>\n<p>More than us are probably sleeping poorly worried about the spring offensive, I guess, but it\u2019s hard to see that they haven\u2019t prepared maximally here and are thinking on all levels about how they can amplify disruption and successes.
