Until August 6, it was quite lonely on the &#8220;mech offensive 2024&#8221; substitute bench, I can report.<\/p>\n<p>In my last post, we showed the condition of a marine infantry brigade and a 76th VDV regiment, which was absolutely deplorable.<br \/>\nThey were the units sent to Kursk and the 76th AAD has been held as an offensive reserve behind the southern front.<br \/>\nSo there should have been better units available.<\/p>\n<p>Someone in the thread chants as often as he can \u201cshortage of tanks,\u201d which is starting to be true now, or it has been true for a long time since they changed their doctrine out of necessity, but now it\u2019s becoming urgent.<br \/>\nI remember my own time when barbarians died around 400 per day and tanks and IFVs were 40-50 each.<\/p>\n<p>In 2023, 1500 new tanks were &#8220;produced,&#8221; of which 400 were modified T72 or above and the rest modified T62. In October 2023, RU lost over 500 tanks. Everything points to them being short of tanks.<\/p>\n<p>Here is a photo from one of the depots \u2013 this is what it looks like on the ground from the satellite images we try to form an opinion from.

I am like a little child on Christmas Eve about this terrible weapon and that the Ukrainian peace movement has no power at all.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/banderafella\/status\/1832894657388310669?s=46&amp;t=Vah3JXV31B9lXwZOK5gF7w\" rel=\"nofollow ugc\">https:\/\/x.com\/banderafella\/status\/1832894657388310669?s=46&amp;t=Vah3JXV31B9lXwZOK5gF7w<\/a><\/p>\n<p>What we do not see directly is that Ukraine also has total superiority in night fighting, if you have followed the deliveries they have received tens of thousands of image intensifiers and RU likely has an acute shortage of such and if they have them there is a shortage of batteries because they don\u2019t even get water. Half the day is dark and then a Russian soldier is just prey which we read about a few days ago.<\/p>\n<p>Then there are the world\u2019s SOF running wild and they make a big difference deep behind enemy lines together with the ATESH partisans. At Kursk, UA had infiltrated so much that the first weeks\u2019 reinforcements were 50% shot down when they were on the highway and banding up.<\/p>\n<p>UA has 10 reconnaissance battalions and a whole forest of SOF.<\/p>\n<p>Then they have communication with at least six &#8220;liberation fronts&#8221; inside Russia that do what they can to destabilize the country.<\/p>\n<p>We must not forget in this context that the internal repression apparatus is severely understaffed in Russia at present and in occupied territory they are minus 400,000 who would be needed to control the occupied areas.<\/p>\n<p>Wagner was wiped out after Bakhmut and Vodkarun but FSB and Rosgvardia have also taken hits over the years.<\/p>\n<p>I counted the total at some point and including Wagner it was about 460,000 or thereabouts from memory.<br \/>\nThe whole Russian Federation, occupied areas and barrier battalions have to be covered by that.<br \/>\nWild guess is that some republics are emptied of internal troops and they have mobile units that go where they are needed.<\/p>\n<p>It is particularly interesting that UA is reinforcing the Pokrovsk front with two (2) brigades and it comes to a complete halt for the Russians. The Russians have about fifty brigades in the area against UA maybe 15.<\/p>\n<p>You see just like me that there is a large redundancy left with Ukraine \u2013 they defend in numerical inferiority and it comes to a complete stop. They attack in numerical inferiority in Kursk and advance \u2013 now two more brigades have been brought forward according to Twitter rumors and the Russians are terrified, with their own forest of brigades in the area. Wonder where the first presidential brigade will show up \ud83e\uddd0<\/p>\n<p>Remember my last post, UA will primarily go on the defense to the east but also a bit in the north and try to continue westward and northwest.<br \/>\nThen Bryansk is of course wide open because RU does not yet have the capacity to reinforce there \u2013 they have been reactive so far.<\/p>\n<p>If UA continues to open new Davydiv Bridges and attack vectors where they fight in numerical inferiority, RU will soon run out of corks to plug the holes with \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ll see how much difference the Smaug drones make; I think it will be significant as long as it stays dry, but the dry and warm weather seems to persist for a while longer.<\/p>\n<p>Then apparently RU is raining its FAB bombs over Kursk right now.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/andrewperpetua\/status\/1832854521124737122?s=46&amp;t=Vah3JXV31B9lXwZOK5gF7w\" rel=\"nofollow ugc\">https:\/\/x.com\/andrewperpetua\/status\/1832854521124737122?s=46&amp;t=Vah3JXV31B9lXwZOK5gF7w<\/a><\/p>\n<p>And this is a major concern for the West (USA\u2026) which now has to respond with more LV and F-16s since they stopped Gripen for commercial reasons.<\/p>\n<p>Ukraine MUST get rid of the FAB bomb droppers because they cause losses for UA and are the LAST thing the Russians have left now that their artillery backbone is broken and they are low on armored vehicles.<br \/>\nIt is the easiest thing in the world to deny them access to the fronts, but UA must feel that they have enough LV and F-16s to dare to risk them.<\/p>\n<p>The fact that Russian air is not raining down is a big concern; if you remember when the thread guessed correctly that they were doing hit-and-runs with Patriots, it was about a dozen flights over a week or two and no further operations have been made against airbases for a while now.<br \/>\nThe West should have responded immediately when the offensive started and sent more.<\/p>\n<p>Without reading too much into it since we don&#8217;t have the details, I think Scholz feels it&#8217;s starting to be time for peace. If the word &#8220;ceasefire&#8221; is uttered by him, we know he has a bank account Putin is filling, but he hasn&#8217;t said that yet, so we have to wait a bit longer before we know which side of the fence he stands on.<\/p>\n<p>Then I think Jay in Kiev might have a point that Biden is terrified that Putin will sabotage the election for him, but then he is completely wrong. Putin will do it anyway, and the best for Biden would have been to come out as a strong UA supporter so moderate Republicans would switch to D now that Trump does not want to support Ukraine.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/bsky.app\/profile\/johanno1.bsky.social\/post\/3l3pikyqiu52j\" rel=\"nofollow ugc\">https:\/\/bsky.app\/profile\/johanno1.bsky.social\/post\/3l3pikyqiu52j<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Speaker Johnsson has begun to understand that UA support is a vote winner, and Trump is probably not far from turning around, so total policy failure from Biden as usual.<\/p>\n<p>The fact is that any leader or debater in the West who utters the word ceasefire, truce, or anything in that direction in the coming half-year is paid by Putin. Putin will demand that everyone push that line, and that will reveal the last who have managed to stay hidden.<\/p>\n<p>It will be interesting to see who the 2,800 people are who get paid by Putin, many of whom sit in Europe \u2013 we hope that report leaks soon so we can see if we are surprised by any Swedes \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n<p>I saw that psychologists in Ukraine have had to reevaluate their understanding of how broken people can become when women return after having chemical agents injected that destroy the uterus so they cannot become pregnant, and men come back castrated. Virtually all, men and women, are regularly raped and psychological and physical torture happens all the time.<br \/>\nThen we have amputations, which may sound clinical, so instead let&#8217;s say they cut off the hands of prisoners who are returned just because they can.<\/p>\n<p>The fact that the media completely overlooks this is still as shocking but follows a pattern where Russian abuses are basically a blank spot, not least in Africa, which there is reason to return to.<br \/>\nWhere is Amnesty&#8217;s and the Red Cross&#8217;s absolute outcry over sterilizing captured men and women in the worst ways?<br \/>\nIn Kherson, they also found a torture chamber for children.<br \/>\nOr the 700,000 children that Russia claims to have rescued \u2013 we have proof that the older ones are already being trained to become soldiers, and we can guess that Putin intends to wage the war with them going forward.<\/p>\n<p>One of the great atrocities of this war was when the Kadyrovites captured a mother and her five-year-old daughter, tortured, gang-raped, and murdered the daughter in front of the bound mother who was then released, and they stood and laughed when she failed to take her own life.<br \/>\nWhat is disturbing in this context is that they have managed to surpass this many times over \ud83d\ude10<\/p>\n<p>The Russian oppressive regime is like a sexual sadistic death cult, and the fact that ordinary Russians don&#8217;t care is really unacceptable. They will be collectively punished for this, so the best thing they could do now that the internal troops are gone is a popular revolution so their republic becomes free from future guilt.<br \/>\nThen the West should really rethink properly because the country Ukraine will never forgive this just as j..a never forgave the Holocaust, and they will actively push for property rights where they can and for the country to turn inward and break up. The West should accept this fact and rip off the band-aid and make sure it goes as fast as possible.<\/p>\n<p>Then I don&#8217;t quite remember who wrote about UA nuclear weapons the other day, but now UA has them too \ud83e\udd23<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/jurgen_nauditt\/status\/1833004414904213640?s=46&amp;t=Vah3JXV31B9lXwZOK5gF7w\" rel=\"nofollow ugc\">https:\/\/x.com\/jurgen_nauditt\/status\/1833004414904213640?s=46&amp;t=Vah3JXV31B9lXwZOK5gF7w<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Ukraine will get newly manufactured German Lynx before New Year, this is top shelf and freshly polished.
