  1. Crazy numbers for a “three days special military operation”…

  2. 30k comined enemy tankship and AFVs mark is very close now, perhaps by the end of the week.

  3. At this rate we are 100 days from 1 million Russian casualties in an unjustified, illegal and genocidal war of aggression.

  4. SO begins the march to 900,000. What are we looking at here, beginning March?

  5. Hopefully Moscow runs dry on artillery before the end of winter and is left with the couple of dozen tubes they can produce per month to go with their meat sacrifices.

  6. The number of battle contacts on the front has increased. The most fighting took place in the Kursk Oblast and the southern areas of Donbass.

    – Intense battles continue in the Kursk direction. The Russian army is conducting attacks in several directions to avoid losing the initiative in this region. Regarding the Ukrainian army’s offensive, it can be said that a very small unit was used, which managed to penetrate several kilometers deep into the Russian army lines. The Ukrainian unit has not attempted to advance further but has also not withdrawn from the occupied positions.

    The Ukrainian army is not releasing information about the ongoing situation, and the Russian side has regained control of its social media channels. I remain of the opinion that this is a limited counteroffensive, not aimed at penetrating deeper into Russian territory. Attacks by the Ukrainian army in other areas are possible.

    Yesterday, the Ukrainian General Staff reported that during the entire Kursk operation, the Russian army has lost a total of 38,000 men, including 15,000 killed. Additionally, 104 tanks, 575 armored vehicles, 330 artillery systems, and a significant amount of other equipment have been lost. In just five months, the Russian army has lost a third of the tanks that their defense industry can deliver to the army in one year.

    – On the Harkiv direction, the attacks by Russian army units in the Vovtchansk area were slightly more active. More armored vehicles were used, resulting in greater losses.

    – In the direction of Kupyansk city, the activity of Russian army attacks has remained low. In the Lomani direction, Russian army attacks are active in the Terni area, but no major advances were achieved yesterday. Positional battles are ongoing in the Siversky direction.

    – In the Bahmut area, urban battles continue in the eastern part of Chasiv Yar and around the town. There are no major changes in the situation. Urban battles continue in Toretsk. Ukrainian units have not been driven out of the town, but some positions have become a grey area over the last month.

    – The Russian military command has managed to maintain offensive activity in the direction of Pokrovsk. There were minor advances again yesterday. The Russian Ministry of Defense announced yesterday the capture of Kurakhove city. Although there are still positions held by Ukrainian forces on the outskirts of the city and parts of the city are in a grey area, the Ukrainian forces’ positions here are unlikely to hold for long. Russian army attacks were also active to the south, but no significant success was achieved.

    – On the southern front, Russian units were passive, with two reconnaissance battles taking place. An air attack conducted with unidentified means targeted a Russian army concentration area near the city of Mariupol.

  7. It’s always the day after the big round numbers that gets me. Like, this wasn’t a goal to be reached or some kind of achievement. It’s just some kind of madness that goes on and on without a break.

  8. 81 vehicles? I wonder if it points to using civilian vehicles where armor should be used instead, and the vans and pick up trucks just keep blowing up.
