    Regarding this I also just saw a tweet:
    It would be easy to say Zelensky got it done. IDK that there is proof that he managed to get Visa and Mastercard to act. As much theyre probably afraid of US sanctions and are pulling back till the situation becomes more stable. BUT I think this is another thing Zelensky can point to to suggest that hes pretty popular and can get things done. I definitely see a 'myth of Zelensky' evolving both within Ukraine and without. No matter what he'll probably be a celebrity after this. 
    I really, really, really cant wait for the book about this to come out.

    Don't know if this is high quality analysis, but, given the Russian Army's troubles with the mud, I was struck by the thought that if Putin did hold off the invasion to avoid the Chinese Winter Olympics, that decision could go down in history along with delaying Kursk to wait for the Panthers...

    Probably SBU interrogation of mayor Krasnoyartsev, "fat pilot" 
    - Where you flew yesterday?
    - Southern from Chernihiv... There is a some kind of road... I'dont remember
    - But you the pilot! You must remember own flights!
    - Well.... I got my objectives during the flight.. I have to work at the road with a burst (maybe he means rockets or series of bombs). I did it. 
    - Who from yours flew to us [to Chernihiv] two days ago and bombed civilians?
    - I don't know... I explain.. We are receiving own tasks for 10-15 minutes before take off and in this time we can prepare to the mission, explore the flight area... Ans I can't say exactly who flew there, all is changing too fast... They order - fly there, and then command abort mission, now fly here 
    - Say please, are you really informed that there are no civilian population here?
    - Yes
    - But you fly to work at the city... Сan you see this is a city? 
    - We were told that all were taken out of here...
    - And everybody were taken out, and the city is completely empty, and the wind shakes the blades of the grass, and the cars drive by themselves, like at Ilon Mask? Yes? Like a Tesla. Do you understand that now there is... I'm speaking in Russian with you now, right?... there is a hostility between or nations for hundred years? Do you understand this? Say!..
    - Well,,, I understand...
    - And how we will exit from this situation?
    - I don't support our current policy...
    - But why you flew to us, why you drop the bomb, why you killed the oldman? [when he went down by parachute, civilians spotted him and run to catch, but he shot in civilians and killed the oldman]
    - I'm a military... I have an order...
    - But listen, the order also can be executed in differnt way! You could just to "miss" - this is happening. Right? You reached the point, stood on the combat course and just "missed". Somewhere aside. And nobody wouldn't say you anything! This is the war, this is happening. You anyway see this is civilian buildins, right? For why you worked at them? Tell me honestly.

    @Haiduk
    The attack technique and negligible height clearly indicate this. These are parameters not available to Stinger and Striel. Of course, there is no official confirmation, but the Polish military media unequivocally claim that it is Piorun.
    As a Pole heavily involved in helping refugees I will say something else - all Polish hearts are now Ukrainian hearts! I work at a university in Zielona Góra in western Poland. A young professor from Kiev has been my boss for the last 4 years. And now the families of our friends from Kiev live in the student dormitories of my university.
    Хай живе, живе вільна Україна!

    Late to the party, I bet the 65 miles long convoy outside NW Kiev has been discussed hundreds of times. I still want to add my 2 cents here
    A long length convey is no surprise. A Soviet tank division can be 50km long in a single file marching formation.  But what happened on NW of Kiev is a logistic nightmare. Under normal circumstances, one road can barely support one mechanized regiment. But now Russian has to use one road to support the whole army that is 200km away from the rail terminal/supply depot. On one hand, Russian force has to ferry troops forward, on the other hand you have to supply food, water, fuel and large amount of ammunition forward for the planned besiege. The trucks need several re-fuel and maintenance under this 400km back and forth trip. So several small supply depots must be set up somewhere on the road.  No surprise this will cause a huge traffic jam.
    Now imaging you have an inexperienced staff officer team from Army HQ to manage the supply convoys on a traffic jam road. The frontline troops urgently request fuel and ammo, their combat readiness degrade with low supplies.  The Army HQ’s first reaction is very likely to send more supplies on the road, which in turn be delayed on the road, causing more congestion. Since the frontline troops cannot get the delivery on time, their voice for more supplies needs become louder and louder. And an inexperienced Army HQ team will send more convoys into this mess, causing more delay and congestion. It’s getting into a vicious circle.
    A little bit naughty analogy: When facing a clogged a toilet, many people’s first reaction is to flush the water again. Sometime it unclogs, but many time it will make clog worse.
    Sounds familiar? Well, that’s happening everywhere, port congestion, container stuck at the rail terminal while the goods are out of stock in shopping mall and supermarket.  Global supply chain issue.

    Or be more subtle and just do the forced updates that take forever and ever.  Then have the updates add memory leaks that drive computer into the ground, needing reboot w yet another forced update.  Russia will be screaming for mercy in no time.  Oh, wait, this is my life already!

    So been tracking this daily, now that we are in Day 9.  I do not post my resume, largely because most people would not believe it if I did, so take what I say -as with everything else these days- with a good dose of salt.  But in my professional opinion I would sum up the Russian performance thus far as:

    Commanderski got a reaction from George MC in Is Red Thunder secretly the best CMx2 WW2 game?   
    There is plenty of variety in the terrain especially in those that take place in Poland and on the Polish/German border. Once you bet the game bundle there are I think around 128 or so Quick Battle maps of all kinds of terrain from city to forests to rolling hills...etc.
    Type in "Combat Mission Red Thunder" on Youtube and you will find a lot more than a few videos on it. A lot of people are focused on the Cold War game and now with the Ukraine war the Black Sea game is getting a lot of interest. There are still RT scenarios being developed and an updated Battle Pack for RT will be released later this year.
    Red Thunder is more popular than you think.

    The most problematic thing for the future. Is that the Russians have captured at least 14 MBT LAW (NLAW). They have not today, any topattack ATGM. But could reverse enginere. And if they are doing well on the attack in other sectors, they might capture Javelins to! But it was probably an equation that it could happen, I hope! Both for the NLAWS, and Javelins!
