Wow, just great to have you back @Magnus it’s going to take me a while to go through all that. I’ve a few hours after breakfast and then when I wake up. That’ll be a few pages at least.
Reportedly 24 FPV drone operators in training killed. 4 wounded. Significant number actually.

Igor Girkin has been banned from using the internet for 3 years today by a RU court
He also got a 4 years prison sentence, but I dont care about that tbh.
Interview with Karl:
the saddest part of the whole thing, is that it’s so incredibly wasteful.
life, resources etc. all for some dictators want for more power and money.
From the strike on the Drone operators in training. RU generally are terrible at Operational Security (Ukraine isn’t that good either tbh, but that’s besides the point):

I remember this very well. Pro-Russian tankies and RU scumbags claimed she was an artillery spotter and was responsible for hitting Ru controlled Separatist positions. She was in reality indeed aiding UA soldiers nearby, but only by delivering food through the front line.
A Russian photographer and a Western journalist persuaded the traitor Khodakovsky (former commander of the KGB- Alpha unit under Yanukovich, who joined Girkin in Donbas with many of his SBU Spetznas, as they fled the public outrage after Maidan) to release her and he reportedly promised to dicipline his troops for torturing her. She was mock excecuted several times, beaten for weeks and threatened with rape.
Doesn’t seem like life is great for RU attackers either

An important read:
“Guys from the 97th battalion of the 60th OMBr shared footage of defeating two enemy tanks and repelling an assault on a position east of Terni”

I have seen a few videos of the Russian assaults in Avdiivka and those figures do not surprise me.
I appreciate that these videos can be biased but it does seem that in this area Russia has run out of ideas. All attacks seem identical, Ukraine have got the co-ordinates dialled in for Artillery on this route and numerous drones to pick them off.
The winter conditions also doesn’t help anyone trying to advance.
