I assume there's no mass of minefields within Russia, so Ukraine's tanks can roll around without concern.

An excellent point

Command and control seems to be a problem for Russia

In a significant blunder, a Russian Ka-52 helicopter has destroyed a convoy of its own military equipment in the Kursk Oblast, near the border with Ukraine.
The incident, which highlights the ongoing chaos and confusion within the Russian military, was reported by a Russian military blogger known as "Fighterbomber" on Telegram.


According to Tech the blogger initially claimed that the destroyed equipment belonged to Ukrainian forces. However, it was later confirmed that the tanks and other machinery were, in fact, Russian. Among the destroyed assets were T-62M tanks, a model that dates back to the 1980s and has been updated from its original 1960s design.

This incident comes amid increasing Ukrainian maneuvers in the Kursk region, a bold strategy that has seen up to 1,000 Ukrainian soldiers crossing into Russian territory.

I suspect the helicopter crew is now among the casualties.

I have to say, that this incursion caught me off guard as well as ISW (and the Russians).
When I checked at ISW, events hadn't fully been examined, so it appeared to be something other than an official Ukrainian operation.

It'll be interesting to see how this event unfolds, along with the ripple effect across the front.

Something I also noted, is that Ukrainian pressure on Russian assets in Crimea has been particularly high - this makes me wonder if the Kursk Oblast incursion just might be a diversion?
