So as expected, they're waiting on the new VDV orcs to make their play.
I'd really love to get a soldier's take on what changing weather conditions will do for troops on the front line. How badly will the Orlan-fires complex be degraded in poor weather? When the leaves have fallen, will ruscist artillery be easier to find and kill? How badly will drone flying times be impacted by cold and wind?
My instinct is that Ukraine is getting very good at small team infiltration. Mud and rain might present an advantage here. Plus orc guns aren't moving as fast in the mud, especially towed ones. Japan's combat history in the early part of the Pacific campaign offers some intriguing parallels. It wasn't all "Banzai" charges - they were experts at getting in close and overwhelming defensive positions until whole chunks of the line cracked apart.
Bottom line - assumptions about the advance slowing or halting in fall and winter might be highly incorrect. This artillery range and precision advantage isn't something to sneeze at. Now that we know S-400 and S-300 systems are less effective than expected, ATACMS becomes much more useful.
Rostov-on-Don and Belgorod gonna be interesting places to live soon. Very foolish of my idiots ruscist sympathizing brother-in-law to take his family to live there in June.
Define 'shchi', if you would. The only juicy Russian words I know are a few gathered from my father who overheard them from his father who served, as a musician, in a Czarist military band. Can you imagine? A Jew in an army band under the Czar? Most unusual.
Thank you for this update which goes a vast distance beyond the so-called 'news' reported by so-called mainstream media. Your reports are the best and are most appreciated.
