Yep. A real damn shame.

x Analysts warned Russia's wartime economic "growth" is built on shaky foundations, likening it to "running around on cocaine" Rising inflation, hidden war costs, and mounting toxic debts could lead to a crash of economy, they added

This is an anatomy of a Russian assault on the western flank of Ukraine’s Kursk-occupied zone in an effort to seize the village of Malaya Loknya.

Learning from previously failed mechanized assaults due to Ukrainian landmines, Russians used mine crawlers on the lead tanks. This forced them to advance over the fields at an incredibly slow pace so that the demining equipment could do its work properly, making them easy targets for Ukrainian strike and reconnaissance drones. To make matters worse, old Russian dragon-tooth fortifications from before the Ukrainian Kursk incursion remain, heavily restricting Russian movement during their assault. Additionally, slightly warmer temperatures have melted the snow and soaked the fields, further slowing down Russian armored columns. Craters from prior Russian air strikes have completely flooded, forcing Russian units into predictable choke points. The combination of mud, dragon teeth, and exposed terrain enabled Ukrainian forces to effectively target and destroy these Russian assaults through all available means. Combat footage from the area reveals how the Ukrainian defenders effectively engaged a Russian assault platoon consisting of three infantry fighting vehicles and one tank. The column moved across the field from Novoivanovka to Viktorovka, maneuvering around the dragon’s teeth and flooded bomb craters. The hindered movement of the first Russian assault allowed Ukrainians to completely dismantle it already on the approaches with FPV kamikaze drone strikes and artillery. However, some vehicles from the second wave of mechanized assaults managed to approach and enter the village of Viktorovka but quickly found themselves targeted by Ukrainian anti-tank teams sporting Javelin anti-tank guided missile launchers.

Tetkino is a Russian town right on the border with Ukraine and just west of the main part of the battlefield in Kursk.

x According to Russian sources, there is activity near Tetkino, Kursk region: "Last night, intense artillery fire targeted our positions, with one stronghold almost completely destroyed. Ukrainian heavy equipment movement detected, but no confirmed advance. In general, the situation is very tense."

Don’t plant that rag around here.

x The russians proudly planted their flag near Pokrovsk in the Donetsk region, Ukraine—until a Ukrainian drone politely reminded it that it wasn’t welcome by promptly shooting it down. Moral of the story: The only flag getting VIP treatment in Ukraine is blue and yellow

It would be fitting if it was destroyed by a $1,000 drone.

x Ukrainian forces destroyed the Russian electronic warfare system "Krasukha". The strike took place in the occupied part of Kherson region, Vasylivka, Hornostaivskyi district.

This is an odd video. A Russian soldier walks down a dirt road, then just lies down and shoots himself. Maybe he heard a drone and decided to beat it to the punch.

WARNING: Video shows the soldier shooting himself.
