Do we know how many soldiers are in that pocket, and what it represents in terms of percentage of the total armed forces?
Russia’s Mediazona made a video of the most bizarre looted stuff Russian soldiers sent to Russia via courier services.
The most complete (interactive) map of the Marauders. How the military sent 58 tons of packages from the border with Ukraine in three months. For example sneakers, tires, a microphone, a TV, sausages and canned goods, a guitar, a tent and much more.
My personal favourite and the most telling of them all is a brand new Orlan UAV in a protective case at 0:08. They stole their own reconnaissance drone
Given his box of fireworks, what do you suggest?
The bulk of the Ukrainian army and their most experienced troops, are deployed in Donbas. Within the pocket I don’t remember right now, but in the 10s of thousand I think. It is the most fortified region the Donbas with old established trenches. Between 40-50 thousand troops in all of Donbas. Pocket is very well defended so must logically contain several thousand fighters.
I don’t have the answers for this amigo.
I think we all agree that something must be done but
We’re definitely heading more towards offensive weaponry now.
About time.
It’s graphic
Hertling’s analysis
This will be a very big deal. Just want to highlight this.
Indeed. But can it save Sloviansk and Kramatorsk and more, the actual pocket and the district capital of Lugansk, Sevrydonetsk ? Time will tell. Right now, harsh RU pressure.
I don’t know about that, but it underlines just how monumentally disappointing France and Germany are. I have lost some respect, I thought they would be able to improvise policy when their Plan A failed, but they absolutely haven’t (Plan A was the assumption of Germany and France that Russia would not attack). It is all much, much too slow, and for such large economies, so pathetic and little.
Pentagon assessment. Seems legit
We mentioned the fix wing previously.
