This bypassing of cities is interesting, because Ukraine knows Russia doctrine is not to counter-attack “unscripted” and leave fortified areas?

I think these offensives have the US army doctrine written all over them. Move fast, hit hard, don't get bogged down, and let the follow-on troops clean up the encircled Russians.

My guess is they were waiting for certain triggers to occur that they needed for success. I'm talking about munitions levels, force positioning, disposition of the Russian forces, etc...

Russians discussing the importance of Kupyansk
https://twitter.com/wartranslated/status/1567984987131244545

Russians on why Kupyansk is a very important location for both Russians and Ukrainians: it is a major railway junction feeding the whole North East direction of the frontline. Taking (or even shelling) it would result in Russia's inability to replenish troops.

On twitter there is a channel @Wartranslated that posts translated conversations between Russian soldiers and people back home in Russia.

They are very interesting to listen to as they give an unvarnished view of whats going on. Granted, most of these soldiers are low level so they spend their time discussing local events and not grand strategy.

This is one such conversation between a Russian soldier and his wife.

In this intercepted call, the Russian soldier near Izyum is telling how Ukrainians are hunting for them, locating them with drones, and nearly instantly shelling with MLRS. He says his base was "totally f*cked up".


This is just one of many...

In this call he says the Ukrainians are fricking everything up and that "everything around is burning, All is burning" he also talks about a Ukrainian strike on a base.

Don't worry brah. You've been stressed out about a protracted conflict orchestrated by the US military individual complex. One that will bleed us dry over years of static warfare.

But at the rate this offensive is unfolding, half the Russian army will be destroyed by Thanksgiving. That should unravel the whole ball of string and bring this conflict to a close sometime next year.

That's what you wanted, right? The fighting and spending to be over asap? So this is all good news for you, right?

This is interesting, an interview with a Russian soldier who says that 5 Ukrainian SOF guys killed 60 Russians in a trench, he was the only survivor.

I'm not familiar with this twitter account so I don't know how real this is.

Translation in comment.
5 UKR SOF killed two platoons, he is alone survived.

Wee Wee, how is your friend doing have you had any contact with him since the start of the Kharkiv offensive?

I think I remember you saying his unit was deploying.

Borivske settlement under Ukrainian control. Earlier today, battles were reported by the Russian side in Hrushivka. This indicates that the Armed Forces of Ukraine are less than 7 km away from the key city of Kupyansk.

Damn the Ukrainians are less than 10 km from Kupyansk. The Russian defense is failing faster than levees of NOLA during Katrina.

Not a word since I heard his unit was heading out. Idk even know what front he deployed too. However, I bet it’s the Kharkiv front. That front is more favorable for tanks than Kherson.

GSUA stated the AFU have advanced 50km in to previous occupied territory, this would put them about 13km from Kup'yans'k if they came from Balakliya. RU channels are reporting the AFU are about 10km from Kup'yans'k .

The videos and Twitter of Ukrainians treating the Ukrainian soldiers in liberated cities are amazing. I can’t imagine something more emotional than seeing your own kind bring you deliverance.

Alternatively if they are paid crisis actors our tax dollars are delivering some great production value so either way I’m happy.

There are a ton of new videos out showing destroyed vehicles from the two Ukrainian offensives. Lots of vids of Russian POW's and casualties.

A T72 that was modernized by Poland last year. He was in a T64 at the start of the war, but that tanks took an rpg in the engine block back in late May or early June. Since, the start of the war he has been promoted from the Ukrainian version captain all the way to lieutenant colonel because of his 20+ tank kills. I think that he is commanding a whole battalion of tanks now. Also I know that he reads this thread. I hope he doesn’t see this post because he doesn’t know that I accidentally slept with his sister at his wedding and again last month when I was in Ukraine.

I like the Wild Weasel patch. It must take serious cajones to engage enemy anti-aircraft. "YGBSM" is you gotta be shitting me. SIAP.
