morale is good.
and the retreating russians left so much munition but i am not sure why they called it mines, it looks like mortar bombs and a lot of them.

there is always so many rumors about Ukrainian leadership killed here and there.
there was Zelensky got killed last year, early this year the Valerii Zaluzhnyi got killed, and now Budanov...

i think that high profile is very hard to keep secrets or intend to.

a non partisan media says definitely affected.

i don't think he died 😂
but i do suspect that he may have a medical condition, the seriousness of it is the question.

where you get that statement?
i watch the whole video and none said that.

in fact the video show good morale and the injured wanna wave as well and show the battle taxi evacuating the injured.

even injured, he was worried that artillery may target his unit. pretty good for a soldier 👍🏻
all in all , show Ukrainian soldiers and unit care for their own.

i am wondering how they are capturing POW when they are being pushed back...
like under constant assault, any defenders while facing a barrage, taking POW is the last thing on the mind probably.

you mean OSINTDEFENDER?
that one is not pro ukrainian and many in the comments bashing it so for being pro russians lol

by the way, i wouldn't be so fast to trust russian sources as they have, proven in many many times, doctored images, put fake videos, over imposed images or vidoes, claim fake death of Ukrainian leadership, claim to have destroy more things than Ukrainian military have.

i would also say that Ukrainian sources also done some same similar but not so blatantly like the russia media did.

i mean if it makes you happy for trusting so or just want to promote russia success though such method, by all means. 🕊️

please kindly read.
what i mean is to give it a thought first.

probably did because regarding that town situation, it has been posted across both sides confirming what is happening there.

even if they manage to stop it, its too near.
the shockwave may have generate some concussion or damage ear drums.

they have a lot of old tanks.
it is not a bad tactic actually. just not one by itself.

maybe the next wave of such automated kamikaze tanks may come in 3-7 units?
even if one manage to made it through to the defense line could be catastrophic.

though i would query the effectiveness of it.

can't say whether it is bearing fruits yet but the last seven or so days , yes , a lot of munition depots has been targeted and yesterday was one that shown a big big explosion.

i hope russian military believes it then, so they can chill and drink some vodkas.

not exactly a bad idea.
troops movements and supplies movement will be caught on satellite or intel leak.

Ukraine has been bombing troop assembly area or munition depos. its a risk every time russia bring in more troops or munitions, it will show. i suspect this is how they find out. movement / traffic / frequency of a place.

which reminds me, every time a few munitions goes exploding, we see some videos posted by russian soldiers requestion for ammo. as well as when russian defensive area fall back will ask for ammo and supplies, this actually endangered the supply depots from being reveal as traffic and movement will increase somewhat i think.

i am just very curious how STATIC DEFENSE (example, trenches, pillboxes, fox holes) will perform in today modern warfare.

WW2 where the imminent combat range is 500m to 1km? snipers add another 1-2km?
artillery and mortars serve as area suppression than actually accurate fire and air bombing + ground coordination is slow.

unlike WW2, imminent combat range now is 500m to 5km? auto grenade launcher, FPV drones, bomber drones, ATGMs, mobile short range rocket fire, recon drones to support mortar and artillery fire. instant fire correction method. air burst munitions as well as thermobaric warhead.

oh no...
they are the most reliable sources in documenting equipment losses...

its shooting air only. great actors are taking cue.

i am like 50% yes 50% no, cause a lot of weapons doesn't exist in WW2.
especially FPV drones, soldiers in trench is like target 🎯 practice for these.

while i like Mi-24, this is one flying tank too.
