The Russian 272nd motorized was being moved to Kursk but was targeted by drones during transit, several dozen dead, about 100 wounded and several T-80 tanks destroyed *UNCONFIRMED*

  1. All of this moving units around by Russia trying to FIX the problem in Kursk is the biggest victory so far for Ukraine.

    Waiting Russians to attack you somewhere is far less effective then Russians moving around reacting on Ukraine action.

  2. Yes. Ukraine know how to play this. Hope it’s true.

    SLAVA UKRAINI🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦

  9. Rapid change is anathema to a fighting force strictly led by hierarchical orders from the far-away leadership. Who knew!

  10. Ahahaha. I was guessing this was part of their plan a few days ago and am endlessly amused to see what I was right.

    The quickest way is to go around Ukraine. But unless you want to go WAY out of your way you’re moving units within range of Ukraines new dive bomber interdiction drones.

    Ukraine can also use its internal lines of communication to make the problem even harder since they can rapidly redeploy their mobile brigades to other areas of the Russian border. 

  12. I was hoping they planned to strike the roads that would bring Russian reinforcements. Looks like they’ve got that covered.

  13. Russians crying in the other subs lol.

    There better be a documentary on how a navy loses to a country with no navy, but also loses a sub lmao.

  18. I’m starting to think that this is one of the strategic advantages Ukraine has over Russia.

  19. Troops are being pulled from many directions to defend Kursk, this will weaken the entire Russian front line further south

  20. People were saying 3-4 days ago that if russians want to bring reinforcement from Kharkiv region they should be going back to Russia and around losing time, ‘cos if they went in a straight line they would be in range of UA drones and artillery.

    Guess russian generals don’t watch reddit!

  21. Is there a saying like ‘shooting fish in a barrel’, but the fish are willingly piling into the barrel and bunching up?

    If reports are correct, or even remotely accurate, russia has lost two battalions in Kursk that were just trying to do a road move. How stupid do you have to be to fall for the same ambush twice in three days?

  26. The russians were TikToking themselves in a large convoy yesterday.

    Wouldn’t take too much effort from a geo-locator to work out where they were.

    We’re lucky they’re so fucking stupid.

    Slava Ukraine!

  27. Will be interesting to see if this becomes backed by evidence. Definitely plausible with how much Russia still moves in dense columns despite their exploitation by Ukraine strikes

  29. What can they actually do? It’s so ridiculous what the Russians are doing. Everyone can do something, even if you set a bad example…

  33. This is actually a genius move by Ukraine if this was their true intention. Force Russia to move mass amounts of troops away from other fronts and then take them out in large quantities while they are exposed on the move. It’s a triple win. Take Russian land, remove their forces from other fronts, and take them out while they are in transit to the newly taken area

  34. Everytime I think, “This can’t be true, there has to be some learning curve, even for the Russians.” And a day later you see footage of another destroyed column. It is amazing how incompetent this army is. It’s only saving grace is the sheer size and the brutality in which it operates. Its like watching a chessplayer beating an opponent to death with a brick and than calls himself the better player. To think of it…it could be mercury poisoning.

  35. **WHY COLUMN DIDN’T WORK AGAIN IVAN, WHEN WILL THEY FINALLY LEARN THAT THEY ARE NOT ALLOWED TO ATTACK OUR COLUMNS, ARE THEY SUPID?!**

  36. Prepared defences are hard to break but troops on rushed move are probably very juicy targets for drones.

  37. Why is Russia so useless? They make the same mistake over and over. I mean I’m glad they’re so fucking dumb but it’s mind boggling. Idk what the correct strategy is but throwing your ground forces into areas that are dialed in by Ukrainian artillery or drones just seems pointless.
