How’s it going for the Russian Army on the left bank of the Dnipro River these days?
“The problem is that … umm … it’s all shit.”

And those damn drones.
x Near the M-14 highway south of Krynky, Russian soldiers are complaining about the use of FPV drones against them.
"The equipment is burnt. FPVs are hitting. It's impossible to drive. But today the weather is on our side."

More on life for the Russians near Krynky:
"Hello, I would like to share my combat experience of working near the Krynky settlement. The only pluses are probably two guys from Wagner, who taught the detachment personnel a lot, including me, because of this we only get by with a load of 300 (wounded) The work takes place in very harsh conditions, especially in such weather as it is now, rain, wet snow, wind, swamps and mud. If it were not for the purchase of equipment, appropriate clothing and the help of volunteers, many people would have already fallen ill. Let's move on. The lack of aerial reconnaissance with UAVs slows down any of our movements very much and puts the lives of our guys at risk; you always expect an ambush, because the Ukrainian recon groups are walking everywhere. Lack of fire support from artillery and mortars. It is there, but after several shots they leave, because active counter-battery work is underway, in the forest behind us. If I’m not mistaken, there was a number of mortar crews, in total they fired about 20 mortars, when they began to fly at them, for your understanding. The last, very problematic issue is interaction with neighbouring units. It is practically non-existent. But here again, Wagner decides, through old contacts found people with whom we are now actively working, up to the evacuation of guys in case of emergency. In general, the picture is that the headquarters is given the wrong picture or delayed for a few days, because of which the planning is not quite successful. Well and one more thing, we have a lot of people with no experience in combat, this plus one fear in the piggy bank, the situation when a man has a weapon and he is very afraid is not pleasant, and when the commanders are alarmists and shout about recon - I'm silent.

Russia’s attempt to stop the offensive on the left bank took to the air. F-16s would help to counter this.
x AFU Operational Command South is reporting that between 1120 and 1300 local today, the Russians dropped 25 FAB-250/500 UMPC on the right-bank of Kherson.#OSINT #Counteroffensive #UkraineRussiaWar #UkraineWar #Ukraine pic.twitter.com/NK9ZBPgsPq — OSINT (Uri) 🇺🇦 (@UKikaski) November 21, 2023
You might think this is a flooded trench, but this is actually a new Russian defense against drone attacks. When a drone approaches, you dive under the water. Voila! Drone can’t get you.

Here is a Russian trench

I’ll bet these guys wish they had a flooded trench to dive into.
Notice how the grenade takes out two Russians and the third guy just strolls off as if nothing had just happened.
The audio of “Enjoy the Silence” by Depeche Mode is a nice touch.

This concert was in the town of Kumachove, which is southeast of the city of Donetsk. It is 66 km from the front lines and just a few kilometers from the Russian border.
As claimed 25 Russians were killed. It’s also reported that Polina Menshih who performed for Russian soldiers was also killed during the event.
x As reported, on November 19, Ukraine struck the location where a concert was held in honor of the ceremonial awarding of the 810th brigade of the Russian marines, in the Donetsk region.

Combat up close and personal near Avdiivka.

Russia continues to methodically destroy what is left of Avdiivka.

The harsh reality of war in the war vs. expectations back home.
The fields turned to rubbish. Ukry is getting stuck. It's not sweet for ours either. In this slurry. This is another reason that the front line freezes at such moments. If infantry actions, especially in small groups - tactical - are still possible in a number of directions, then you should not count on anything more: the armor will get stuck, becoming a good target for the enemy. And infantry actions without the support of armored vehicles minimize the chances of gaining a foothold. Therefore, there is no need to expect breakthroughs and assaults. This is a message, first of all, to those in the rear who demand and expect the "Cannes of the 21st century", new "Bagration" operations and the like. Come down from the sofa heaven to the sinful earth and at least imagine how you would behave in the plasticine mud, catch a "dolphin" and fight off round-the-clock attacks of rodents in a trench...
A thoughtful analysis of the future of the war.
x First, there is a realization that the war will not end soon. It will last at list this winter, potentially years. The initial adrenaline has ran out. We are now in a marathon mode.
Second, we now understand that the Western support is determined by domestic politics. 2/ — Tymofiy Mylovanov (@Mylovanov) November 20, 2023
And there might be much less of it in the future. So, we are grateful for any support but have to count on ourselves.Third, we must protect our people - both civilians and military. Russia doesn't care about sending tens of thousands to die, but we do. 3/ These two factors require a different strategy that is asymmetric and uses high tech innovation in weapons. 4/ Thus, the future of this war very much depends on our ability to protect our people, maintain economy, and develop technological defense capabilities that shorten the cycle between changes at the front and bringing new technology solution to serial production and deployment 5/

This should come with a warning. The video on the left shows the young Russian shooting himself. This is a Russian to truly feel sorry for.
Note: WARNING
