its reported by a swedish blogger there was 500 russian soldiers in tetkino, and about 700 russian soldiers acrosss the rest of that border zone south of the river in glukovsky district.
important update, the footage of the convoy been attacked at 3 min 34 in has had serious doubts about it been ukranian. this info comes from the Suchomimus you tube channel, and that it is either a retreating russian convoy, or is a russian supply convoy returning to the rear after dropping off supplies
@@joeordinary209 The ukrainians now have the western flanks of their penetration secured, along with their supply lines. If the Ukrainians can move east, inside the russian border, they will flank the russian penetrations in Kharkiv oblast from their undefended and unfortified sides as well as pinch off the russian supply lines. That is actually the biggest threat the russians face and its not a small one. It means the russians will have to put attacks on the ukrainian penetration on russian soil, using exterior lines, or face the prospect of having their supply corridors permanently under threat from a long way out from the frontlines in Ukraine. The russians arent treating this as seriously as they should be and - if they do eventually decide to take it seriously - it will mean a significant weakening in their lines inside Ukraine is inevitable. If the russians keep up their current approach they are going to be throwing their conscripts into a meatgrinder inside russia. Thats just not sustainable, politically or miltarily. if the russians simply conform along the line of the Seym river with low quality conscripts, the Ukrainians can simply flank them and encircle them by crossing the border to the north. This gives the Ukrainians all sorts of strategic options and the options are significant. The bottom line is the russians cant afford to be capturing a treeline a week while the Ukrainians are trundling unchecked across their territory. Something has to give way on the russian side, because they face hard choices over their priorities. What will give way, I dont know because Im not in the russians' heads but if they dont counter with something substantial they are in serious trouble, because the only side that can exploit significant gains right now is the Ukrainians and I suspect they will.
Putin planned on pointing out Muscovy's slow, steady advance as unstoppable and convince the allies to let him have Ukraine. Ukraine just silenced him as that line of reasoning is gone.
@hans. Russians still gain some ground in the Donbas but the gains continue to be quite small. If you look at a map of all of Ukraine, Russian gains over the last year are almost impossible to even see without zooming in considerably. These small Russian advances have basically zero effect on the larger strategic situation of the war. Cheerleading about these Russian gains is basically just pushing Russian propaganda and talking points.
Very nice take on the situation in Kursk. I seem to recall a WWII German assesment of Russian troops fighting bravely to the last man when they were attacked from the front, particularly if they had had a few days to dig in. They also said that if you could get to their flank or rear, the men were subject to panic. I think that we are seeing a bit of that here.
To maintain some sense of reality and balance, we should understand it is a proven fact outflanking or surrounding a group of forces will often lead to the destruction of opposing forces - be there panic or none - and to a severe weakening of surrounding enemy positions. For those troops caught and disadvantaged in such a position it is quite reasonable and logical to consider surrender in order to value life and avoid unecessary deaths. Oustanding acts of heroism and sacrifice should really be the utmost of last resorts - to be adoopted in truly exceptional circumstances. Of course the art of effective combined-arms warfare is to continue to create such situations for your enemy and disrupt their abilty to fight cohesively. It looks like this is what the counter-offensive in Kursk is demonstrating. These battles will be reviewed, replayed and rehearsed in military colleges for decades to come.
We also have to keep in mind that a lot of the units in the "pocket" in Kursk are lightly armed, poorly trained 18 year olds in their mandatory military service, not hardened veterans of 2+ years in the Donbas trenches. (This is probably why Russia is expending so much effort to keep bridges open - it is a disaster in the making for them)
Thank you for your updates. My wife is russian/Ukranian that used to live near the kursk region and this whole war has been terrible to witness from the beginning
Russia is estimated to have 6-7 weeks to recover Kursk. After that comes the rains, then the freeze. With the lack of many hard surfaces roads,which will make it easier defence if UA chooses they will be hard to eject until early summer of 25. Logistics RU will probably not be ready anyway. If UA decides to stay.
@@jackthorton10 middle. When the rains come the 2nd mud season Cross country will be very difficult Lack of many hard roads just fewer points to defend makes any large/ substantial offense a big ask
I just feel Putin will not make a significant movement in Kursk until the first of next year… after the mud season freezes. He hasn't been Swift to respond. It seems he is focused on problems closer to home… such as the loyalty of the Generals. We shall see. Thank you, Torsten!
Its really tiresome how many people underestimate the Russians. Sure, they have proven that they can fuck up, but they have also shown that they can get things done even if its in a ugly manner. UA forces could face some serious problems out there, especially if they don't act like Russians. They will not hide between civilians, and Russians will not hesitate to level their own towns and it can all be blamed on the evil "Ukranazis". So how is this gonna work? Trenches digging over the winter only for a similar game that is currently going on in the east. I hope for a better plan, because this does not sound healthy to me at all.
Thanks for the update again. I will be in Panama next week with my truck camper. I would like to cheers you. Don't worry, I'm not a russian agent, just a canadian travelling the panamaerican highway with my girlfriend!
You wont most probably for quite a while. What do you think will the handful of outdated F-16 with barely trained pilots do? Not to mention the limitation of equipment they get. Are you expecting some turn of events? Get real bro. And sry if I come off a lil harsh, but don't get your hopes up about that because the F-16, as a great jet it is, the Ukraine simply does not have the same backing such a plane needs to unfold its potential. Just so you get that straight. There are enough people knowing this stuff out there highlighting these constraints for quite a while now.
The Ukrainian Kursk Offensive has indeed revealed some very interesting dynamics. - Putin does not have an itchy Nuke trigger finger. I think there are genuinely Red Lines, but taking Russian territory per se is not one one of them. Taking Moscow would be. - Not telling anyone else what you are going to do is dynamite. Misdirection can have the same effect if you can get your enemy to believe it but if they have no idea you can exploit panic even if temporarily. You get the edge first. - Thinking that an area is at low risk from attack and therefore defending it with low grade conscripts is a high risk strategy. When they face veteran battle hardened forces well briefed, co-ordinated and supported with heavy weapons and aviation it is game over for them. Surrender or retreat are their best options for staying alive. And I suggest yet another example of how the Ukrainians are just smarter than the Russians. Even after 2 1/2 years they haven't adapted more than minimally. But let us be under no illusions that the Ukrainians are in any sense 'winning' this conflict. They are not. And neither is Putin but he is still getting what he wants. Ukraine is not in NATO or the EU.
I agree with a lot of your views about these battles ... however, I'd suggest Putin is NOT getting what he wants. Ukraine might now be described as a proxy for NATO, but that situation was created wholly by Putin's invasion. NATO is stronger militarily now than it was at the beginning of 2022 and is prepared to resist Russian aggression (even if Putin thinks that aggression is justified). It is firmly supporting Ukraine and seems unlikely to withdraw (which would clearly be injurious to it's own unified position and interests). Russia is now relatively and absolutely weaker than the start of 2022 and seems to be in a position of slow decline. While neither side is going to "run out of troops", I can't see any way Russia can sustain it's war effort or rebuild it's offensive capabilties to win a war of the kind Putin has "fallen" into.
Putin IS getting what he wanted, that IS land to colonize. There are no doubts about Crimea anymore, and the Dombass and Zapotizhia are his, I suspect forever. Ukraines victory consists of non losing. And nobody won a war defending , as Churchill said.
I honestly think that ukraine can win this war, as more russians get drafted, the more it will snowball a downfall of the Russian eco, due to them just not having jobs, that will effect russia directly, Russia does not have unlimited men
I love this channel so much. I always like this channel. I follow other channels too, but only this channel and one more I give a like every time I watch it. This comment is not intended to be disparaging. This is a challenge in a way. The comment is: what experts say today about Ukraine's attack on Russia. But what do experts know about magic? Ukraine's attack on Russia does not belong to the domain of science. It is in the realm of magic. It is not in the domain of Newtonian physics, but in the domain of quantum physics. MAGIC.
LOOK @2:45 is that a huge drone swarm in the air above the pontoon running 11 to 4 direction??? Holy Mother of they have perfected channel switching drone swarms.
I appreviate very much your attention to detail. I believe the operational objectives are firstly, to control the town of Rylsk on the (right bank) of the River Seym, the highway bridge there and the footbridge just north of it. Maybe as Denys said today or yesterday - the ail is to approach it from two sides. THEN -- to drop the three railway bridges over the Seym above Lgov. In a very real sense, Konyshyovka -- the original last stop on the Moscow railway and the first stop on those railway lines going north -- understanding that gives you the essence of their whole LEFT flank. The right flank needs to be similarly established by something more than simply the Ukraine border - as Georgie at Ukraine Matters suggested yesterday. But absolutely you must control the highway (and the town) at Rylsk and the Moscow railway coming from Konyshyovka. Otherwise you are not really conducting a military operation because your flanks are unprotected. You must have had the goal and the plan to be able to hold off easily over 100,000 for over a year with out so much trouble. The whole thing is that you must have to have the courage to go as far as you may right up to the gates and force the evacuation of Kursk. And go straight in, to lay seige to it. Forgive me for appearing uncaring but you must at sometime sure up your front, and if that involves bringing up heavy attillery - is there such a thing in this day and age? - and start dismantling the city, then you must do it. In any case, you must create a sequence -- a sequence of frighteners for the Russians starting with cutting off all supply and easy escape along the Seym from Tyotkino to Lgov. You must be aware of the rail supply to Kursk that is wholly unaffected by your control of Lgov.
I think Ukrainian just wanted to exit the stalemate which russians are better at dealing with and create a dilemma for Putin. I really don't think Ukrainians want to raze cities to the ground like Russians do
The biggest effect from the Kursk invasion is that Ukraine was able to put a couple wins together. Every report for months it seemed was loss after loss. Morale is huge in war. Motivation. A person's or army's mental is huge as in all areas of life. One Love
First strike had no hit. I watched it like 5 times in slow-mo. Last vehicle was way ahead from the strike. And those looks like mines, not a precision strikes. They just time mines to skip several and then trigger or are delayed. Not an expert though.
"Give the enemy difficult choices" is what Zelensky said earlier. The dropping of the bridges is a perfect example of this. The enemy can either leave their soldiers there to be overwhelmed, or set up pontoons. Neither is a good option but they *have* to choose. And if they do make bridges they have a choice of getting their troops out or pooring more troops in. Again, neither is a good option but they *have* to choose. Morale suffers greatly when people have to make choices they know are bad either way. Morale suffers even more if those choices are not made. Whatever happens, this is going to end badly for both the soldiers inside that pocket as well as those who are trying to interfere with Ukranian plans there.
Isn't it pretty well established that militaries try not to shoot at those waving white flags? It's a matter of honour to many people and at least reciprocity to others. Some dishonourable armies don't, though, and end up doing in the hostages they were ostensibly there to save. Though if you study their history and believe that, I have a bridge to sell you.
@@DrVictorVasconcelos Communicating one's intent to surrender and establishing a protocol to expose yourself without being shot, but also without making it look like an ambush, is not really a trivial matter, of course, they *want* to take prisoners, but they also don't want to take too much risk getting close without opening fire and eliminating any potential threat.
Great chess entails presenting your opponent with undesirable choices. At least on the surface it appears that Russia has no good choices. Checkmate might well include losing Crimea, and Kaliningrad
I just dont understand how the russian people follow a guy that threateneds everyone with nuclear war,they dont realize that nukes go both ways,and in a scenario like that they will be destroyed too,i mean how does it make sence to follow someone that is willing to detroy theyr future
Yes Why did the USA promote the Ukraine coup that leads to a NATO war with Russia that Russia cannot win conventionally. USA knows Armageddon will be the only Russian option by taking down NATO with them.
1:57 If you read the Russian and NATO instructions on building a pontoon bridge (my books mainly date from the 1980/1990s and thus have no reference or understanding of drones). They state that the area of the bridge has to be covered by 2 but normally 4 AA/AAA or SAM or a mix sites just on one side of the bridge with either 2 or 4 new AA/AAA tanks moving across to protect the other end of the bridging area when it has been compleated. Due to my books being so old, they say they would be using the ZSU-23-4. So is Russia very lacking in ZSU-23-4 or modern equivalent or the train troops or any troops to protect these bridges esp the bridge builders' vehicles and troops?
Imo, this offensive show that ukraine doesnt lack soldiers nor equipments. They just can’t reach the frontline on the east due to russian domination of EW, drone warfare and firepower there, russian drones can go deep and spot ukrainian quipment and reinforcement and signal the big guns. So ukraine uses soldiers and equipment that can’t go east attack kursk where they can have local superiority
I'm watching a stream where a young Russian claims that no Ukrainian will leave Kursk alive. First of all, he left a long time ago, because it's another shift for the guys, so those who are there now didn't necessarily start. Secondly, it's not known whether all the Russians will leave
I hear rumors that Ukraine are attacking in Zaphorizhzhia now! Not sure but the info is coming from Russian milbloggers. Ukraine probably don't want to push too far into Kursk, I'd hope they set up defense lines near easily defended natural obstacles and let Russia smash themselves against it trying to take it back. Hopefully Russia's own defense fortifications will be a great asset in the defense now that they're on the Ukrainian side of the frontline. 🙂

The Kursk SMO hs probably bigger impact on domestic politics/matters in Russia than any other operation in this war so far.
I would call this Ukraine's first counter offensive not a SMO, it is very successful so far.

First strike had no hit. I watched it like 5 times in slow-mo. Last vehicle was way ahead from the strike. And those looks like mines, not a precision strikes. They just time mines to skip several and then trigger or are delayed. Not an expert though.
According to some sources, TOM NOOK will give to ukraine 45 million bells and 200.000 nook miles
According to RT North Korea and Russia are BFF.
"Give the enemy difficult choices" is what Zelensky said earlier.
The dropping of the bridges is a perfect example of this. The enemy can either leave their soldiers there to be overwhelmed, or set up pontoons. Neither is a good option but they *have* to choose. And if they do make bridges they have a choice of getting their troops out or pooring more troops in. Again, neither is a good option but they *have* to choose.
Morale suffers greatly when people have to make choices they know are bad either way. Morale suffers even more if those choices are not made. Whatever happens, this is going to end badly for both the soldiers inside that pocket as well as those who are trying to interfere with Ukranian plans there.
3:55 that was reported as missile strikes by Ka-52 helicopters.
Could you do segment on how POW's, surrender without getting shot and how they are processed and moved to the rear.
Isn't it pretty well established that militaries try not to shoot at those waving white flags? It's a matter of honour to many people and at least reciprocity to others. Some dishonourable armies don't, though, and end up doing in the hostages they were ostensibly there to save. Though if you study their history and believe that, I have a bridge to sell you.
@@DrVictorVasconcelos Communicating one's intent to surrender and establishing a protocol to expose yourself without being shot, but also without making it look like an ambush, is not really a trivial matter, of course, they *want* to take prisoners, but they also don't want to take too much risk getting close without opening fire and eliminating any potential threat.
keep up the great work
Great chess entails presenting your opponent with undesirable choices. At least on the surface it appears that Russia has no good choices. Checkmate might well include losing Crimea, and Kaliningrad
It is now claimed that the precision strikes against the Ukrainian vehicles were made by a Ka-52 helicopter.
Thanks for the update Torsten. Where is your cat?
The fact Rybar is a pro Russian acct tells us a lot.
Putin doesn't wanna live in Russia no more
thanks for the info
👍
I just dont understand how the russian people follow a guy that threateneds everyone with nuclear war,they dont realize that nukes go both ways,and in a scenario like that they will be destroyed too,i mean how does it make sence to follow someone that is willing to detroy theyr future
Yes Why did the USA promote the Ukraine coup that leads to a NATO war with Russia that Russia cannot win conventionally. USA knows Armageddon will be the only Russian option by taking down NATO with them.
You’re really getting better at the Terminator impression. A little more forceful and an octave lower and you’ll have the the full Schwarzenegger!
That's the most American thing I've ever heard.
1:57 If you read the Russian and NATO instructions on building a pontoon bridge (my books mainly date from the 1980/1990s and thus have no reference or understanding of drones).
They state that the area of the bridge has to be covered by 2 but normally 4 AA/AAA or SAM or a mix sites just on one side of the bridge with either 2 or 4 new AA/AAA tanks moving across to protect the other end of the bridging area when it has been compleated.
Due to my books being so old, they say they would be using the ZSU-23-4.
So is Russia very lacking in ZSU-23-4 or modern equivalent or the train troops or any troops to protect these bridges esp the bridge builders' vehicles and troops?

I come for the updates. I stay for the pronunciation of Russian names!
Yes if you want it secret, do not tell known leaky allies 😂 that would be stupid .
Imo, this offensive show that ukraine doesnt lack soldiers nor equipments. They just can’t reach the frontline on the east due to russian domination of EW, drone warfare and firepower there, russian drones can go deep and spot ukrainian quipment and reinforcement and signal the big guns. So ukraine uses soldiers and equipment that can’t go east attack kursk where they can have local superiority
Heard the precision strike on the Ukrainian advance was made by Ka-52s.
THAT is a pontoon bridge? 😂 Or a start of one?
I'm watching a stream where a young Russian claims that no Ukrainian will leave Kursk alive. First of all, he left a long time ago, because it's another shift for the guys, so those who are there now didn't necessarily start. Secondly, it's not known whether all the Russians will leave
I hear rumors that Ukraine are attacking in Zaphorizhzhia now! Not sure but the info is coming from Russian milbloggers.
Ukraine probably don't want to push too far into Kursk, I'd hope they set up defense lines near easily defended natural obstacles and let Russia smash themselves against it trying to take it back.
Hopefully Russia's own defense fortifications will be a great asset in the defense now that they're on the Ukrainian side of the frontline. 🙂
I think the Ukrainians have opened another front coming across the border further north maybe around the Seym rive from the Ukrainian side?
