    Oh yeah, it smacks of a really silly calculation being done (or series of calculations) when a movement order is selected and the camera moved. And it doesn't help that the entire application seems to be running on a single thread.

    CM's performance is rather lacking, particularly on larger maps with large numbers of units, and especially in the setup phase if the deployment zone is large and you have a unit selected with a movement order.

    Add continuous harassing indirect fire, some wounds that go untreated due to lack of medical support and the odd tac UAV pooping HE on your head.  

    I have avoided predictions in this war but I will make one here - the RA is really screwed this winter.  Their logistics issues are going to turn into stuff like disease and cold injuries in the winter that their medical system will not be able to deal with. Troops are going to be faced with lighting fires or freezing to death so ISR is going to light them up.  Looking at the weather in Kherson for example - https://weatherspark.com/y/97401/Average-Weather-in-Kherson-Ukraine-Year-Round  And you have the worst possible conditions - cold enough to freeze you to death but also warm enough to get you wet - and then freeze you to death.
    Winter warfare is hard - like “wishing you were dead” hard.  It is ridiculous without proper logistical support and regular troop rotations.  Fog eating snow might just turn into ice shattering the RA and the UA driving over their frozen corpses.  If the RA has a division of elite Siberian troops left in the pantry, now would be the time to use them.

    No evidences that they were 100 % unarmed (grenadeds, pistols etc), because procedure of unit surrendering wasn't finished and UKR soldiers didn't have time to search them. Combat episode wasn't finished. 
    To prove during suddenly started engagement? To whom? They had to call a lawyer under fire?
    Western rules based order often turns out into swamp of bureaucracy, red tape of 100500 of committees and useless talking shop.

    "A deal between Russians and Ukrainians" is no more as speculations. Here Russian rearguard convoy (our soldier on the video tells about 3 armored vehciles, 2 trucks and jeep), withdrawing to Kherson was encircled by UKR troops. Russians made logical choise - they surrendered 
    Also I doubt a "deal" could provide artillery and HIMARS shelling of crossings and left bank as it took place.

    Russians must be in awe of UKR organizational talent. Not only did they manage to capture a city that voted 99.99% to be annexed by Russia without a fight, they even managed to bring along hundreds of civilian crisis actors to cheer them on while they strut around in the place.

    "there were no agreements".  Yup,  because Russians are an untrustworthy sack of lying ****s. Also perfect example of how RUS command truly does not care about its men. Any responsible and decent GHQ would negotiate a retreat agreement with UKR.
    That was something I noticed ref Suvorokins pantomine nonsense  -  no mention of communication with UKR opposing numbers. No talk of staged,  deliberate and non aggressive retreat, keeping RUS troops whole at the exchange of leaving Kherson and people's  undamaged or contested. Just "We leaving,  Buh Bye!"  and all the Ivans at Kherson going "Wait,  what? Now!?".  Man,  racists bigotry reaps it's own inevitable reward. 
    The UKR artillery will mow the Dniper banks like a horrific gigantic human lawn mower. 
    And The ghosts of Iloviask will have their long due revenge.

    I doubt it's the biggest strike, just a particularly bigger one than usually shown on social.

    It's a monumental waste of money that we can't and should not afford. Wasting half a billion dollars on a plane that was never profitable and would fly twice a year is even ethically wrong at this point. Especially since we are donating to buy winter uniforms for our soldiers and many of them aren't getting paid for 3 months because MoD is heavily under budget.

    Drone operators of 71st jager infantry brigade spotted Russian BTR-82 and targeted artillery strike, which hit APC from second shot. At the end of video, soldier says they were lacky because after BTR was hit they had a time to go away and their position was hit with cluster rocket
