I'm seeing good tanks and equipment when they count, and old tanks in the Javelin shower at the start...Russian Terminators spotted near Severodonetsk:
Marketing for Russian MIC, which after this poor showing so far, needs every "Battle Proven" sticker to restore image even if it's prototype samples used in battlefield.
So, after the complaining from Ukraine, the Poles are sending the "good" T-72Ms? Crikey. I think those were in operational Polish units.Alleged Polish T-72M near Kharkiv, with some haphazardly fitted K1 bricks

Maybe they lost the first 200 already...So, after the complaining from Ukraine, the Poles are sending the "good" T-72Ms? Crikey. I think those were in operational Polish units.
That will leave Poland's own deterrent pretty bare. They still look like they don't have thermal sights.
Only way out is to pass through...waiting to do a concentrate push somewhere probably.Lyman near Slovyansk and Izyum is surrounded on 3 sides. This isn't the only action around Izyum either, it seems like Russians are making a lot of moves around Izyum now.
It doesn't seem like Ukrainian forces east of Kharkiv is doing much, I don't understand. Perhaps they are resupplying, or they want to avoid another Hulyaipole type situation.
Russia losing too much power isn't in interests of Turkey. Turkey's main function for the Anglo-Saxon led West is being a bullwark against Russia. If Russia ceases being a great power that makes Turkey a lot less important.If Erdogan was a smart strategic thinker he would realize that his newfound leverage over Sweden and Finland comes from the fear of Russian might. Then consider whether it is really in Turkey's interests to provide Kiev so easily with Bayraktars.
