This is Putler’s Fall Blau
**Cluster munitions enter the chat.
Russia is making significant ground in the Luhansk front. Fluff pieces like these do not help the Ukrainian cause.
100,000 troops and associated vehicles requires a massive logistics chain to be effective and we all know great the Russians are at logistics
I like to think senior officer turns and gently pats on of a 3 million cluster munitions they have in storage and on the way
100,000 targets concentrated in one area? I believe “A target rich environment” is the term used for that.
Force concentration = HIMARS opportunities.
meanwhile 1 russian died on vodka poisoning, russians now down to 99,999 troops
Previously I doubted we will see those DPICMs used in its full glory since Russia won’t be launching any major offensives after Bakhmut. Now I’ll just say if they are stupid enough again……
Tldr: ‘Not a threat, it’s a target’
People here joke about it but this shouldn’t be taken lightly. It poses a real danger. Underestimating the opponent is one damn easy way to lose.
This is a useless post. The article pretty much says nothing has changed, that’s always been the number, and it has not resulted in progress for Russia.
What’s the point of it? Lol
Wouldn’t worry to much Russia more then likely already had those troops there and are making it publicly known to boost morale even as it changes nothing.
What’s nice about Russia is they lie so frequently that they actually tell the truth. Because you always know whatever they’re saying the opposite is true.
It’s a cluster bomb opportunity.
Is it the same we shouldn’t worry as it was communicated back in Dec-Feb 2021-2022?
Ukrainian military needs support, every day of sweet talking is increasing losses of the Ukrainian army
