Taranis reacted to Haiduk in How Hot is Ukraine Gonna Get?
I was reading not one time from soldiers, that Western training good in basic, but completely doesn't reflect reality of our war. Western armies didn't fight in such type convential war since Korea. Current western doctrine is "Jets&Tomahawks". Many Western experts now say "NATO would never make offensive like Ukrainain army". Germans say (it's Bild article, but...) UKR offensive if bogging, because Ukrianian army doesn't stick to their training and instead to attack with whole battalion, they divide own atatcks on atatcks of small assault groups (well, everydody could see, how finished "battalion column attack" of 47th brigade in June). You can remember interview of UKR tanker, when they asked German instructor what he have to do if a minefield in front of attack and instructor answered "You should bypass minefield" (the man just can't imagine, that minefield can be kilimeters in lenght and hunderd meters in depth)
Western 5-weeks training also can't bring up good officer "from zero". So, western tarining for civilian conscripts is good "young soldier school", more effective, than most of our training centers, but you sholdn't exaggregate it capabilities.

Russian and Ukrainian aren't enough? We have to add french to mix, just ti finish melting my brain?
Bleep me that sucks, it has a real charge of the light brigade vibe. It is also more proof of the most fundamental tenet if modern warfare, mistakes are BAD.

Interesting. Ground-launched APKWS being used for very close indirect support:

After weeklong gnawing their teeth into the defenses, it seems like the UAF is taking up speed near Robotyne and Staromayorske. Tokmak is getting HIMARSed also...

Bonus entry from end of May 2022 - speaking of putting Russians out of their misery.
Evacuation of wounded soldiers runs over a mine. At least they didn’t suffer for long from their injuries after being evacuated.

43rd high-power artillery brigade still use 2S7 guns as well as PzH2000 (and potentially Archer). Brigade operates separately by own battalions and even batteries on different front sectors

Ukrainian units of 35th marines brigade and 7th battalion "Arey" of Ukrainian Volunteer Arny (of Dmytro Yarosh) libereated Staromajorske village (V.Npvosilka salient)
Yesterday situation map for this sector

Estimated UKR progress for yesterday
But price is high. It's example why idea of initial involvemnt of tough Bradleys was right. New brigade, which should develop success lost seven vehicles on battlefield abandoned and destroyed close to main enemy trenches. This is 2,6 km from eastern outskirt of Robotyne. BMP-1 detanated after ATGM or RPG hit in side hull

Yellow mark on the map.
And Russian close video with this BMP. Operator says there are 3 "200th" inside, but obviously BMP was directed in unmanned mode. Maybe UKR testing BMP vs.ditch (but I doubt), but maybe and Russian staged video "look at fool ukies" %)

Looks like yestreday Russian epic describing of hunderd armor, attacking their positions and more than 30 destroyed vehicles turned out usual PsyOps
But in result Russian milblogger Pegov today issued this
Saying more correctly, UKR troops now attacking not so Robotyne itself, like the section between Robotyne and Verbobe

UKR go-pro and RU drone footage of the same movement near Robotyne. BMP-1 #1 is abandoned on fire after a Lancet strike, seen in the drone clip. Tank riders on BMP-1 #2 film themselves pushing BMP #1 out of the way to keep moving.

Situation in Klishchiivka - Russians organized heavy counter attack. Fighting in northern part of the village is going for each meter. Probably Russians threw in the battle units of 102nd MRR of 150th MRD, moved here from Maryinka direction.

"Kraken" again on the warpath. I've read, this unit got own tank detachment. But in this time their drone targeted two Russian "Grads". Alas, either they transmitted not enough accurate coordinates, or HIMARS crew made some error, but both missiles hit enough far aside launchers. BTW both Grads at least got damages and one driver was wounded or killed.

Today UKR General Staff categorically rejected information about significant Russian breakthrough on Borova direction. DeepState map in own turn "painted back" part of yesterday "occupied" territories, but remained Novoyehorivka and Serhiivka villages as occupied. Nadiya village marked as "grey zone" with a note "Russian couldn't gain a foothold in Nadiya"
Some UKR videos from this direction (filmed not later 23rd of July) - Stugna-P team of 66th mech.brigade hit three tanks and BMP

Another part of video "how it started" - Russian armor was ambushed, though first AT projectille missed. Interesting, that now it's claimed troopers of "Tsunami" assault regiment of United assault brigade "Liut' " (eng. Fury, Rage) of National Police of "Offensive Guard' participated in this action.

I think no need to redraw Kupiansk map, because here is exellent map (its can be zoomed):
Kupiansk direction subgroup:
Borova direction subgroups.
For yesterday Russian rush with two tank regiments from Dzherel'ne - Raihorodka section got results - Russians pushed off UKR troops west along the road Svatove-Borova and occupied villages Nadiya and Serhiivka on westren bank of Zherebets river. Groupment of 423rd MRR and 15th MRBr developed own success and gained more ground, taking Novoyehorivka village.
More fresh DeepState map shows this more worse situation. Red dotted lines - changes issued today (likely this happened 1-2 days ago). Mashovets will write about Kupiansk tomorrow. Red solid line - frontline before Russian offwnsive.

Robotyne area.
Soldiers of 78th Special purpose regiment "Hertz' " of Air-assault Command dismount from own Oshkosh M-ATV to advance to treeline. Two Bradleys of 47th mech.brigade covers them and shoot at the enemy
Reportedly Russians yesterday conducted several counter-attack at our flanks and forced our troops slightly withdraw from outskirts of Robotyne.
