Apparently the Ukr 93rd Mechanized Brigade went berserk again yesterday.

Outside of Kharkiv. Counter-attacking into the flank of a Russian armored brigade from 6th CAA.

They captured 8 T-72B's and destroyed twice as many others before withdrawing back into their own lines.

-

Ukr 1st Armored Brigade also counter attacked outside of Cheriniv on the northern front. Destroying another dozen T-72B's (apparently from Russian 35th CAA).

NFL Draft is now 50 days away.

Siberians from the 69th Covering Brigade of the 35th Combined Arms Army from the Eastern Military District. Formerly tasked with border patrol duties between the Jewish Autonomous Region and China. Equipped with T-72B's and BMP-2's. In the Cold War they would have been known a Category III unit (combat capable, but not really). Mostly conscripts. They aren't issued boots, have to buy their footwear. They're lucky they have helmets. Some modify their rifles out of pocket.

Top of the line, brand new Russian Su-34 fighter-bomber.

With an off the shelf Garmin GPS strapped to the cockpit dashboard...

This is why the Russians haven't been using their expensive GPS jamming equipment.

Russia announces it is now under threat from a group known as "the world".

Compare these two maps.

On the left the Russian media version.

On the right the OSINT version.

Imagine the utter disillusionment of the Russian people when the real truth hits them in the form of an utterly wrecked army with 50,000+ casualties (not there yet, but rapidly heading that way) and no ground held at all but that which they stand on.

*sigh*

Situation map March 4th.

Reminder that the arrows indicate slim single road columns and not ground held.

Russians are trying to protect their supply columns with BTR-80 wheeled APC's. It's not helping, they're just losing the BTR-80's as well.

Spearheads at 1, 2, 3, and 6 did their usual. Drove until they ran out of gas and then abandoned their vehicles there.

4 and 5 met with considerable opposition, again. 5 is where the Russian general was killed.

Good Night Coso and
Happy birthday to Italian painter Rosalia Amon (1825-1855), born #OnThisDay 197 years ago!

The native Sicilian Rosalia Amon was one of the few women who had the opportunity to study painting at the Vienna Academy. She participated in the class given by Ferdinand Georg Waldmüller and specialised in floral still lifes, which she executed hyper-realistically.

Putin wants all of Ukraine. He's made that very clear. I'm not sure if his military can deliver it (because they suck at logistics), but they are already positioned to make the attempt. We might see a rump state consisting of the remnants of western Ukraine or we might see a Ukrainian government in exile in Poland.

Either way we need to hope that Poland and Romania are ready to handle a lot of Ukrainian refugees.

Hi, folks! So it's been a while since I last logged in here, but I've got a question for y'all.

I want to help fight disinformation. I can't volunteer in the ground war in Ukraine, but I'm a good researcher. But all the places who are looking for help never email me back.

What can I do? Can y'all point me in the right direction so I can fire?

OMG you can watch news channels here? So much has changed since I showed up last here.

Speaking of OSINT...

If this account shows up on your mentions, block it.

@/ASBMilitary

It's a Russian Disinfo account. Been around for a long time.

@voltronic They do have some night vision gear. They have a combination of poorly made Russian gear, off the shelf Chinese made civilian gear, and hellishly expensive Chinese military gear (reserved for aircraft).

Ukraine has been quietly purchasing top quality US, EU, Israeli, and Japanese military night vision gear of all sorts ever since their special forces in Afghanistan found out how valuable it is in 2008.

Spotted passing through Tyumen, Russia yesterday.

2S7M Malka 203mm heavy artillery and 2S4 Tyulpan 240mm heavy howitzer.

This is heavy siege artillery. The type used to attack cities.

Depending on traffic factors, it's about a week away from the Ukrainian border.

Are you a conservative who praised Vladimir Putin.....
