What's been the status of the original contact line near Donetsk and Luhansk? Has anything changed there?

I saw some report from nbc that Russia has only launched 1/3 of its force from the border is thay accurate?



Fairly accurate. They think 60-70K troops are in Ukraine with 120-130K still on the border


As someone pointed out earlier, a lot of them are support and logistics troops. So a significantly larger proportion of his combat power is already committed.

Also, they could be using their shitty troops first and holding back their top tier units, but it flies in the face of their own doctrine, and really sound doctrine in general. It doesn't make sense to hold back, especially when your advance bogs down. Couple that with their asking for support from their allies/puppets and it indicates their best units are already committed, they're not up to the task, and any other troops they have are incapable or unreliable
.

The Russian campaign is in trouble, tactically and strategically. They may win this, but just barely and they won't be able to consolidate their victory.

It’s wild to think they asked for Kazakhstan to deploy troops to help out.

Aren't combat forces generally about 2 or 3 to 1 on support troops to actual front line fighters?


That is what the military calls the T3R AKA tooth-to-tail ratio. We commonly considered that to be 12:1 or so.

Here are few older tweets from Rob Lee regarding some of the electronic warfare tech Russia is likely using:

@RALee85
quote:

Unsurprisingly, a Leer-3 electronic warfare system, which comes with Orlan-10 UAVs, is being deployed to Kazakhstan. Among other things, the Leer-3 can be used to locate and interfere with cell phones service. 37/

quote:

The deployment of the Su-35S squadron, two S-400 battalions, and high-level electronic warfare systems like the Krasukha-4 in Belarus also help Russia defend Kaliningrad in the event of an escalation.


quote:

And this electronic warfare deployment could include deploying Krasukha systems to try to disrupt the operation of US E-8 JSTARS aircraft that have been flying over Ukraine to track the movement of Russian units.

Zelensky rejected U.S. offer to evacuate him from Kyiv - @washingtonpost.

President is in the capital, leading our nation through its darkest hour.

Earlier today, he told NATO leaders he might be killed, he’s not lying. I have so much respect for him. True leader!


Brave brave man.

No. While Xi and Putin have an alliance, neither of them (rightly) trust one another. No, Xi is hard balling him just to see how this works out for Putin, and then if Putin is successful, back them up fully from there.

So WaPo is reporting the US is standing by to evacuate Zelensky when he decides its time to do. So what happens if the transport gets shot out of the sky? There's no way in hell that it goes unanswered by the generals. If Biden gets in the way we might just have a crisis here.

Opium, poppy fields, and war. It's interesting to me how opium production and poppy cultivation has followed wars fought in a guerilla type manner around the world since Vietnam.

Ukraine got some fertile soil y'all think Putin was considering being an opium drug lord along with all the other rich minerals/ores Ukraine has.

Matveev is very unlike most Duma deputies, however. He’s been active in opposition politics for a decade, and won his seat in September with support from Navalny’s Smart Voting, one of its few victories.
