Re: A new Ukrainian offensive in Kursk....
I do not expect a large gain, and with deployed Russian military actually in the area this time, this is probably more of a destabilizing effort to apply pressure on Russia rather than attempting to achieve and hold new ground / cities. Because thus far, Ukraine is too vastly outnumbered for any sort of real offensive victory. These would be strategic moves for tactical gain. Ukrainians attempting to shore up their hold on Kursk.

Russian mil bloggers appear to be very angry and finger pointy about whatever is happening here.

So long as Vlad the Butcher wants blood, Russians will always be angry and scared.
This in no way mitigates their sheer numbers advantage. Ukraine is doing a hell of a job defending, but the circumstances will never translate into offensive victory. Such as reaching Lgov or Kursk city.

The value of this attack is to take the initiative and force Russia to redeploy additional men and resources. Knocks them off balance for a while and buys Ukraine more time and space to better prepare defensive positions. To help hold what they already have, for a longer time.

He's so patient with his audience, always. Didn't even crack a smile when Lex said Trump and Elonia care a lot about corruption.

I've lost faith in Lex a long time ago ... It's like he swallowed the whole Rogan sphere including Elmo line hook and sinker... cant bring myself to watch that interview cause I dont wanna yell at the screen. If anyone HAS watched it, is it what I'd expect it to be? Half Rogan conspiracy half Elmo disinfo idiocy? (out of Lex of course).

Meh. I never cared for what he had to say. I only listened to his podcasts for some of his guests.

Just for the giggles, was fun building a 12 ship fleet, park them just outside the enemy's base defenses and let the swarms eat their way in.
My favorite moment was if you could pull off a mass siege tank deployment somewhere around a base of theirs. -BWRRRRR- *KABOOM*.

The Nordics/Baltics taking a close (armed) look at the Leningrad traffic has negative implications for Moscow. The anchor dragging was stupid because they need money from oil sales more than the need to damage the cables.

Russia views isolating the Baltics from the rest of Europe as preparing the battlefield. War is coming to those nations.
As we see with Ukraine, Russia values Genocide and empire expansion over all other concerns.

No one is accusing the Russians of being master strategists here.

Ukraine got a KF-41 to test out. The competition between Rheinmetall and BAE (CV90) heating up.

Ukraine is going to need many many many units to replace their soviet era vehicles. Rheinmetall already has a leg up by building APCs in country and working on doing so with IFVs too. Though Ukraine has quite a few CV90s in service already and is getting more.
