Grigb Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 Looks like RU is rushing 3 AK. Or want everybody to think so. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elmar Bijlsma Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 (edited) Looks like they've taken Senkove. They aren't going to the Oskil, they ARE there. Another bridge unavailable to the Russians. This is setting up to be another Kherson-like pocket. Didn't think Ukr could pull this off. Kupiansk looked like an over-optimistic lunge but they have now got all the space they need to not be overly worried. Truly a military masterpiece.

I appreciate that the map is cropped in just such a way as not to show the Ukranians to the south. That would show clearly how stuffed the Russians around Izyum really are. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grigb Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 Khereson - East. Report from local troops UKR are slowly pushing RU back. RU suffers big losses (like relay big - 5 men from battalion, retreating literally dozens of survivors). Not many men left at front line. Claims of uge UKR losses I skipped. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huba Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 Here's new Rybar. He's acknowledking UA push south along Oskil. What's missing (compared to Strelkov) is UA pincer encircling Kupyansk from the north. Cauldron in the making, that is really unexpected. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calamine Waffles Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 The big problem was always breaking through the Russian frontline. It's hard but brittle, and once you get through, there is little to no defence in depth. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevinkin Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 https://asiatimes.com/2022/09/spasm-escalation-russias-last-weapon-has-been-spent/ Cropsey sees an ongoing war as China keeps a wounded Russia afloat to mess with the West's head. "This makes war termination of the utmost importance." (Well of course) "Russia must be defeated – that is, removed from Ukraine’s south and, if possible, from Crimea, its military power humbled, and Putin left with no options other than to mobilize or sue for peace." (Ok, yeah) Only such a victory will give the US and its allies the flexibility they require to turn to Asia, while still confronting a Russian threat to Europe that despite setbacks is likely to remain live and dangerous." (Well you missed the last decade or so. Other than nukes, Russia has never been a threat to NATO since the Cold War and never will be a threat in our lifetimes - especially given its dismal 2022). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billbindc Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 Having strong flashbacks to Croatia's 1995 Operation Storm...which is a thing I've been thinking about quite a bit for the last couple of months but superstitiously didn't mention.

Kaliningrad can't be a nation. It's a war trophy. Divide the territory of Kaliningrad between Poland and Lithuania and give the Russians the choice to live in freedom or leave. Aragorn letting Russian in K-grad stay if they choose to live in freedom -- you've gone soft you lefty . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
