Don't think this has been posted before. Usage of suicidal robotic dog to blow up a position.

Their usage in urban warfare could be pretty terrifying.

For a moment I was expecting to see an actual dog being used for this. I was going to say if they were that willing to lose support like that, but nevermind.

Anti-tank dogs WERE a thing in WW2, with how spread out troops are in this conflict, a suicidal dog army is probably fairly effective and still more humane than dropping nukes on populated cities.

72nd mechanized brigade could not withdraw from Vuhledar, the encirclement around them is now complete.

Azovstal 2.0 soon ?

There's nothing like that in Ugledar. There was just a small coal mine, which the Russian captured early on.

It's actually embarrassing how Russia was unable to capture a town with a pre-war population of 15K for two full years. People now predicting a massive Russian advance after the fall of this small town are the same people who predicted the imminent fall of Ugledar for the last few years too.

If Ukraine stops doing dumb shit like the Kursk adventure and actually focuses on defence, then it's likely that the frontline will continue to move very slowly, even if adversely for Ukraine, going forward.

Russians continue to advance in Torestk.


Russian MoD officially confirms the capture of Marinovka.


Krivoy Rog, Ukrainian administration building hit. People buried under the rubble.


Three glide bombs hit the Ukrainian PVD in Sukhanovo, Kherson.


UN lacks funds to help Ukraine this winter.


Road of Death with five destroyed Maxxpros.


US Intelligence definitely opposed to Kviv's long ranged strikes to Russia. NYT.


US allies strapped for cash and arm supplies at risk. Bloomberg. These sort of headlines indicate dactions within Western governments wanting a pull back from the Ukraine campaign.


Zelensky's star power fades on Capitol Hill. That and a colder reception tells you a greater internal resistance is brewing on the Western aid and continuance of the war.


Zelensky's visit to the ammunition shell factory in Scranton, Pennsylvania, also Biden's home town, may have offended Trump, and triggered Trump to mock Zelensky in his rallies.


Russian 'Dragon' drones at work on Ukrainian positions in a forest line.


Ukrainian facility hit in Dnipropetrovsk. Will await for more information on this one.


Ukrainians blew up their own equipment and tried to pass it off as something else. Here a Marder and a PT-91 (Polish T-72).


Ukrainians managed to capture a Russian Vandal FPV drone with fiberoptic. This shows you the first glance of the drone's physical appearance which the Russians never officially shown.


Switchblade 600 recovered by Russians. The warhead is from the Javelin.


Destroyed Ukrainian vehicles. Images from a recovered camera owned by a Ukrainian infantryman.


Three ODAB-1500 bombs land on Ukrainian positions in Siversk.


Possibly a Krasnopol strike on a Ukrainian pontoon bridge in Sadove.

FPV drone from Grom Kaskad takes out an M777. This is in the Kursk sector. This looks like a winged drone, possibly Molinya.

That is such a simplistic point of view considering the context back then and the situation right now is completely different from what it was even 6 months ago, because it isn't just the Kursk adventure, it was also the failure of a counteroffensive in Zaporizhzhia, needlessly holding to Bakhmut, Avdiivka, Marinka and other towns, wasting people and equipment in each one of them.

Ugledar was one of the few position actually fortified since 2014 and the 72nd that manned them were one of the better trained units and with one of the units with more experience since they had been involved in the war since it became an "ATO" in 2017. So, size of the city matter little in this regard; the mistake of the Russians here is not using enough manpower and the blunder of not trying to clear the minefields before trying to storm it head on.

Too little, too late. There is just no enough equipment and people left for that and they are talking about doing another counteroffensive.
