TG of “Bakhmut Demon” mentions 30 tanks/armored vehicles were used in this direction, but don’t stop the presses on such claims. Just offering numbers to quantify “heaviest defeat”, note claim is were used - not destroyed.
 

Just news worth to note from political backyard- Rheznikov was just fired from UA Ministry of Defence. New MOD will be Rustem Umerow, a Crimean Tatar.
Just recently Ihor Kolomoyskiy was visited by grim gentlemen from anti-corruptions services, too...interesting developments, given that both were firmly in "team Zelensky". From outside it looks like  are positie developments, as it shows to the world there will be no short-walks regarding corruption. But perhaps our Ukrainian members will hold different opinion ofc.

Copetires... Tirecoping... Vulcopium? Anyway, what an occassion for Trent Telenko to go back in style.

"Sokol" means "falcon" in bunch of Slavic languages, so this is pretty funny sentence.

So it has begun, the Chinese annexations of Russia. One piece at the time and it didn’t cost ‘em a dime.

On evolving Ukrainian capabilities, primarily in UAV systems in air and at sea.
All this points to a growing sophistication in the Ukrainian strike capability. Indeed, we might now observe these operations as a separate strategic strike campaign, which is designed to generate political and strategic military effects for the Ukrainian conduct of the war.  It plays an important part in degrading Russian military capability, forcing the redeployment of air defence radars and other systems, while also demonstrating to Ukraine’s supporters that it is serious about winning the war.

Ukraine's Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba, while on a visit in France, told a story, how small group of 31 fighters maintained success in Robotyne, after weeks of unsuccessful assaults

...One Ukrainian unit had been conducting continuous assaults in this area of the front, and due to exhaustion and losses, at some point, this unit lost the ability to continue the offensive. And then "radical decisions" were made: the unit's leadership was changed.
New commander asked to assemble soldiers who were motivated and ready to perform combat missions. A combined group of 31 soldiers was created, a third of whom had no combat experience, but all of whom had the knowledge and will to win.
Thanks to the leadership of the commanders and sergeants, this group established "horizontal links" with neighbouring units and started working on the contact line. For 18 hours, they crawled literally on their stomachs through kilometres of minefields, where the Russians had placed six mines per square metre.
Finally, the unit reached a strip of trees dividing farmers' fields. Everyone in Ukraine knows this word - "posadka" ("tree-plant, tree-line"). It’s in these plantations, invisible on maps, that the greatest tragedies and heroism of the war take place. So, our unit drove the Russians out of there and held the position for two days until reinforcements arrived. Subsequently, this group walked another 10 kilometres with backpacks weighing 35-40 kilograms through minefields. They only had time to catch their breath briefly and immediately stormed the fortified Russian positions, drove the enemy out and held out until the main forces arrived.
In total, this unit conducted six assaults and two reconnaissance missions in 40 days. A group of 31 men did the work of an entire battalion, which should have consisted of about 400 men. The losses amounted to seven wounded, including only one seriously injured after stepping on a mine.
In fact, the work of this group made it possible for an entire brigade to attack Robotyne and liberate it after weeks of assaults.

A testament to the quality of this thread:
it took 2814 pages before the subject of racism popped up. That must be a worldrecord for any thread on any forum these days.
