But Count assured us that the first batch were all killed 70 to 1....who would go back into such madness?

Such a bloody brilliant tactic at work. That's a whole lot of barely defended border that they're going to need to fortify at the cost of men and equipment from the ukie fronts

The osint channels are pretty much uniformly reporting multiple large (up to 5 km) incursions along the lines in donbas and zap earlier. Some groups withdrew once they hit significant resistance, which supports this assessment. Probing for weak spots and observing how the Russians rotate whatever reserve forces they have.

I'm still of the mind that they're going to draw as much attention to that region, force Russia to commit there and then come across from Kherson. Crimea is too spectacular a political and military goal to ignore imo. Even just pressuring it has outsized political impact inside Russia.

I just expect them to do something no one was expecting that is also kinda brilliant.

Just like these incursions into Belgorod.

I await the grand reveal with excitement.

Has the "greatest counteroffensive" started yet? If not, it is just white noise. If Zelensky wins, it proves his cause was just. If it fails, it shows we wasted a ton of money on a loser.
