Given that Ukraine cannot hope to gain even limited air superiority over their planned axis of attack until 2024, will the large AFU counteroffensives have to wait until spring 2024? What happens on the frontlines between then and now?

As for right now, bridge down?

Not seeing any blast damage (yet) in any of the videos.

The purge of russian commanding officers is widening. Again Putin does not know or does not want to know history of its own country and learn from Stalins errors - he just repeats them.

Institute for the Study of War

The Russian MoD has begun to remove commanders from some of the Russian military’s most combat effective units and formations and appears to be accelerating this effort. The recent dismissal of 58th Combined Arms Army Commander (CAA) Colonel General Ivan

Apparently the bast was UNDER the bridge. Some suggest naval drones. But I wonder if Storm shadow can sneak under and hit a pillar.

The U.S. is by far the biggest military backer of Ukraine, but political winds are blowing in opposite directions on the two sides of the Atlantic and many Europeans see Washington excessively cautious.

O.m.g. COPE is strong in this guy.
Anyway I wish they tried. Wagner will last about a minute against the Polish army.

Their offensive last summer went remarkably well without air superiority.

True, but it's a common refrain now for why the AFU's counteroffensive has become more Somme than Bagration.

Not even himself belive that.

regarding the Kerch bridge I really hope this time they were able to damage the support/pillar. Even if they "just" managed to severly damage some bridge sections it will take some weeks or months to get them replaced.
Hitting the rail bridge support/pillars would be my highest priority as they carry much more fuel tan the road bridge and the rail sections may be harder to replace.

I was watching the "Enforcer" YT channel. It is being reported that a span of the road section is down. The story is, a drone attack took out a support pillar. This happened about 1 hour earlier than this post.

I bet the Ukrainians are about go hell-for-leather for Crimea now.

Okay, I'm confused. Are they talking about a force that doesn't exist? This would be the same force that Peskov (who said his son served in this force a year ago) just said doesn't exist about day or so ago?

 

[GrauGeist]

Putin has a stellar track record for stupid decisions and this latest "Wagner to attack Poland" thing may be one to add to the list.

Or it may just be more noise coming from fantasyland.

However, if there was ever a prime example of "f**k around and find out", this would most certainly be it.

With all due respect to Finland and Ukraine, Poland would be the last nation I'd be provoking at the moment if I were the supreme being in the Kremlin.
