A minor update from Renderland...
For over a week now the Ukrainians have been sliding their superstar 93rd Mech Brigade (a tank division in all but name) southwards along the line until yesterday when it appeared just north of Bahkmut.
Bahkmut is the only place the Russians were still conducting offensive actions, using Wagner's ex-convicts and DNR conscripts in human wave attacks.
...
Last night the 93rd smashed into the Wagner positions and drove them back out of everything that they'd taken over the last six months.
Now what's left of Wagner is trying to retreat - through the line of dragons teeth, minefields, and anti-tank ditches that Wagner itself built behind them.
Wagner's geniuses forgot to leave sally ports and entrances into that line.
@jurban DefMon is very, very good at analysis. I don't always agree with his conclusions, but he is methodical about his sources and works hard to double and triple check his info before he posts it.
