Wow! Just imagine how many will get knocked out when they actually arrive!!!
I was recently reading about the Bradley's performance in Iraq. Iraqi infantry would hide behind their own knocked out T-72s for cover thinking they were safe. Bradley's 25 mm gun would slice through both sides of the T-72, neutralizing the hidden infantry.

Yes, but those were the crappy export versions, not the real Über tanks. Those only get one side penetrated. So much better ...
Same with the Patriots. Soon they'll have destroyed six even though only two have been promised.

Surovikin has been demoted and replaced with Gerasimov so that a friend of Putin can claim the glory.
Stalin was a genius compared to Putler.
Putin replaces commander of Russia’s war in Ukraine after just 3 months
Valery Gerasimov takes over from Sergei Surovikin, who will be one of his deputies, the Defense Ministry said.www.nbcnews.com
Surovikin was the first and only Russian general to act in some common sense. After all, he was responsible for the initial southern attack, arguably the comparably most successful one and Cherson was the first retreat not executed in an absolutely chaotic manner. Thereafter he at least got Ukraine to a stallmate.
Replacing the only half way capable commander by some other Putin weirdo speaks for itself and the future of Russia ...
Gerassimov can credit himself with the big fail of planning the initial Russian attack.

What did you read? Anything you can recommend?
Bradleys performance for an IFV in both gulf wars is insane.

There are a couple of vids on this engagement from other Russians also. There was an assault by the Russians against prepared Ukraine positions. The guy in the vid throws a grenade close to the trench which wounds one and appear to disorient the older guy. They both think the Russian is one of theirs and don't know why he is taking the older guys rifle. The younger wounded guy fumbles with his rifle, giving it up? or trying to bring it around? They then get killed. There is actually another guy in the pit that was apparently already dead, so 3 altogether.
The longer version shows the Russian trying to get his other guys to push on and he stands next to the pit for a fairly long time, recovering before pushing on.
No ambush involved, straight up real and ugly warfare
1. An interesting analysis was published by the center
@CSIS
. It concerns the state of US ammunition stocks (artillery and rockets), which are transferred to Ukraine in significant quantities. M142 HIMARS launchers were also added to this as the only ones.
There's trouble here too - if you could steal public money for decades with such production at known purchase prices, that's about the equivalent of stealing Hungarian public procurement in my book.

That reminds me of an anti-cell tower protest staged in a village not far from where I live. Dozens of people were complaining to the provider about suffering from migraines and demanded the tower be shut down. The provider's tongue-in-cheek response: "We will consider your motion carefully, as we're concerned about what might happen to you if that tower actually goes online."
That anecdote tells you all you need to know about Germans, by the way.
Remember Baghdad Bob?

Rumors that Russians have taken Silj to the railway depot.
Russkies are talking about heading for Siversk eventually. And to encircle it.
Anyways not great news these last few days, even if these things happen in a war.

Lacking artillery, lacking soldiers...this is the outcome.
Almost no new drone droping bombs on orcs. maybe they finally learned and found a solution for it.
Ukes will have a hard time in this pace.
