There are reportedly 3-5000 Russian troops encircled at Lyman with no exit/resupply route.
Russian forces seem to be under questionable management to get in to this kind of pickle.chkai chgout wrote: ↑Sat Oct 01, 2022 9:22 pmThere are reportedly 3-5000 Russian troops encircled at Lyman with no exit/resupply route.
More of a concern though, is the possibility of Putin and his Orcs going full monty and deploying a dirty weapon.
From vlad putin's annexation speech: (i didn't realize he cared about morality, tbh, long string of women and offspring)
I do accept what he says is valid, but it kind of loses weight when he says it
'Western morals
“Now they have moved on entirely, to a radical denial of moral norms, religion, and family …
“The dictatorship of the Western elites is directed against all societies, including the peoples of the Western countries themselves. This is a challenge to all. This is a complete denial of humanity, the overthrow of faith and traditional values. Indeed, the suppression of freedom itself has taken on the features of a religion: outright Satanism.”
“Do we really want, here, in our country, in Russia, instead of ‘mum’ and ‘dad’, to have ‘parent number one’, ‘parent number two’, ‘number three’? Have they gone completely insane? Do we really want … it drilled into children in our schools … that there are supposedly genders besides women and men, and [children to be] offered the chance to undergo sex change operations? … We have a different future, our own future.”
The problem with ALL politicians is that they all throw in just enough truth to take our minds off the lies.

The answer to that would be swift destruction of Crimea.Dylan Quint wrote: ↑Sun Oct 02, 2022 3:41 amRussian forces seem to be under questionable management to get in to this kind of pickle.chkai chgout wrote: ↑Sat Oct 01, 2022 9:22 pmThere are reportedly 3-5000 Russian troops encircled at Lyman with no exit/resupply route.

One thing that has arisen from recent reversals in Russia's military fortunes has been greater discourse on governance failings from an otherwise compliant state-sponsored media. Commentators are still cut-off when criticism strays too close to the leadership, however critics are clearly emboldened and their opinions are reaching parts of the Russian public normally saturated with approved news.
The kleptocratic model relies on the facade not being tested; good news being passed along regardless of realities. Recent events exposed the severity of the erosian of Russian military capabilities created by this governance model. The mobilisation is reinforcing this, as are mounting casualties.
Whether this realisation leads to substative change may depend on the outcome of the War, however the issue is back in public conversation.

End of Week 32 of the Russo-Ukrainian War and the Ukrainian counter-offensive continues.
There were no changes in the West, North or Kharkiv border areas. Ukraine has begun military exercises with units in the Northern areas to prepare for a possible Belarusian incursion, though despite the rhetoric from Minsk there are no signs of preparation for such an action.
Along the Luhansk front there were significant changes with Lyman and its surrounding towns taken by Ukraine, resulting in Russian forces being pushed out of Northern Donetsk and into Luhansk Oblast where they are attempting to establish a new defensive position. Russian forces withdrew from their remaining positions along the Oskil River, reportedly withdrawing towards Svatove, effectively abandoning their last positions in Kharkiv Oblast. It is reported Ukrainian forces are clearing the area and advancing along the Zherebets River. The size and composition of Russian forces remaining in Northern Luhansk is unclear, though it is understood some of Russia’s more combat capable units have moved to reinforce Lysychansk (South of Kreminna).
Along the Donetsk front there were no changes. Russia remains on the offensive in the area with the objectives of Bakhmut and Avdiivka. There has been no substantive movement along this front for several weeks.
On the Zaporizhzhia front there were no changes, though Ukraine has recently been heavily shelling positions around the key town of Tokmak.
In Kherson Oblast, the Ukrainians broke through Russian lines along the Dnieper River, taking a string of towns. This, coupled with Ukraine taking Davydiv Brid on the Inhulets River, precipitated a general Russian withdrawal from all positions in the North East of the Oblast. It appears a new defensive line closer to Mylove is being formed, however as situation is currently unfolding it is unclear whether this line will hold. There are unconfirmed reports from Russian sources of the strategically important town of Snihurivka being taken by Ukraine, which (if confirmed) may signal a general collapse of Russian lines across much of the front. Given the importance of this town it behoves to wait for visual confirmation (reports of Russia being pushed out of Snihurivka are not a new thing).

The Russians are certainly on the back foot presently and now reports of ill equiped and hungry soldiers doesn't make for a winning army.
Putin will be wanting to launch a ground based counter-offensive asap and will be intent on throwing high numbers of soldiers with antiquated rifles and sometimes even without a uniform, to overwhelm the enemy WWll style. He's deluded, but becoming more dangerous.
His forces face increasingly sophisticated weaponry supplied by the west and at the same time their tanks are becoming redundant. Enter the latest HIMARS missile, throwing 180,000 tungsten ball bearings over a 5 acre area shredding everything including non armoured vehicles.

I think the yanks are only withholding the long range ATACMS missiles in case a tactical nuke is used.
If that happens, the response from NATO means ATACMS will be superfluous.

The Kerch Bridge, which links Russia's Krasnodar Krai with Crimea, has reportedly suffered serious damage. There is footage of a fuel train on fire on the bridge with at least half the road -span collapsed into the strait.
The Kerch Bridge is one of two rail supply routes for Russia's forces in Kherson and Zaporizhzhia (the other running within artillery range of Ukrainian forces on the Southern Donetsk & Zaporizhzhia fronts).
It is unclear at this stage what transpired.

Yep, other news today was loss of external power to NPP Zapo. They have around 10 days on generators otherwise there is a risk of meltdown. So either power has to be restored or fuel has to be delivered. Interesting times....

The Kerch bridge incident is said to be a missile strike,
If that bridge is wholly destroyed, the Russians will have neither means of escape or resupply.
