So Kursk is looking pretty stupid now in the long run huh?
Funny thing is, you don't really need to be some expert analyst to have seen it coming. Yet the world acts like this is somehow surprising. What a messed up world we live in today.

It would be likely... If they did not self contradict 5 times. They are cover it up. So I picked the most embarassing cause to explain the cover up.
The most likely cause is lost on ground from artillery.
I wonder what it was like in the past. Were western citizens just as ignorant about Rommels advances in North Africa?
Reviewing the strike on the Ukrainian column in Sumy region. The column is over 600 meters long and has more than 20 vehicles. First strike is an Iskander with cluster munitions. Then it appears other smaller rockets begin to arrive, Grad, perhaps, followed by a second Iskander, which has a warhead that exploded above the ground. Then a pause, followed by Tornado-S strikes with cluster munitions with a specific pattern on the forests around the road. There might be other Russian drones carefully observing closely and tracking personnel running away from the column, the Tornado-S cluster munitions were directed at them. It's clear the attacks were meant to kill personnel and not just the vehicles.
Ukraine claims the convoy was peaceful trucks carrying grain supplies. Right...headed to Kursk? AFU frequently used civilian transports for military related transport.
By the end of the year, as many as 400,000 Ukrainians might leave the country due to the energy crisis and a grim cold winter ahead.
158 Ukrainian drones attacked Russia. MoD claims they were shot down but appears some went through.
Fire at the Moscow oil refinery but it appears to be under control with fire fighting helicopters circling overhead.
Artillery and aviation strikes on Ugledar from a Ukrainian POV.
Many missile strikes happening in Kharkhiv.
BTR-4E intercepted by FPV drone from the 74th MR Brigade towards Pokrovsk.
Kornet ATGM hits a Ukrainian transport.
The Russian Air Force killed the command staff of the AFU 72nd Brigade transferred from Ugledar to Pokrovsk with a big strike at the 'Friendship' Hotel.
Russians retrieve another Abrams for trophy.
Ptichya and Vyemka falls to the Russians.
FAB strikes on forests in the Kursk region where Ukrainian forces are hiding.
Russian FPV drones attack Ukrainian UAV control points and an ammo depot in the right bank of Kherson.
Kozak-7 burning in the Kharkhiv region.

The issue is that old TOW's are limited to a 1500m range over large bodies of water. More than that, the wires touch the water and they short out and fail.
Russia is making another push for Ugledar now that its defenders were used up in Kursk
Direct hit by what seems an Iskander on a target in Kharkov

They tried to coerce Russian population to start protesting i think. They expect average Russians to go panic mode and pushing their govt for more defenses.
Probably trying to incite unrest like what happened in Rostov after the power shortages. But this will be much harder to do in St. Petersburg - Moscow area which has way more slack capacity.
