Why do the voices, including that of the mother, sound so AI?

The longer version of it.
The gist of it. Trap laid by the Russian 810rd Marine Brigade with two BTR-82A against a column of 19 vehicles of the AFU 82nd Airborne Brigade in the Kursk region. Fire from the BTR-82As took out seven vehicles, an eight was damaged and taken out by an FPV drone. Four AFU vehicles managed to get off the picture frame but were intercepted by other forces beyond it. Five AFU vehicles turned back. The AFU vehicles did manage to disembark their contents but the area was also hit by thermobarics.
Iskander hits a Ukrainian force concentration in a forest area in the Sumy region. As usual, the rocket might also be a Tornado-S, Iran or DPRK. However another channel says this being a Forpost-RU UAV strike. These UAVs use a KAB-20 bomb or an X-UAV both with SAL guidance.
Large protest from members of the 187th Battalion of the AFU 123rd Brigade who refused to be cannon fodder, refuses to carry out their mission and draw attention to the lack of training and weapons. Previously the commander of the 186th Battalion shot himself. The 123rd was supposed to relieve the 72nd in Ugledar but refused. Charges likely to be filled against members of the unit.
Russian poses with knocked out Ukrainian 2S1 Gvozdika SPG towards the Pokrovsk direction.

The arrival of the AFU 47th Mechanized Brigade Magura gets treated with Iskander or Tornado-S strikes. Allegedly 12 vehicles, 5 pickup trucks and 80 personnel were destroyed in the attacks.
Footage from the fall of Ugledar. MLRS and artillery arrives on the city.
Selidovo getting encircled.
Orions on the hunt. First a Ukrainian artillery piece and a UAV crew both gets taken out, followed by a French Caesar 155mm SPG. As usual X-UAV missiles were used which are modified Kornets with SAL guidance. The Orions have been referred to as the Russian Bayraktars and only seen operating in the Kursk-Sumy region where the Russians enjoy complete air superiority.
Tsukurino under Russian assault. Update. It's now being described as a clearing operation.
Russian MoD congratulates the units who took part in the Ugledar capture. Namely the 5th Tank, 36th and 37th Motorized Rifle, the 40th Marine and 460th Regiment.
Russians are now 2km away from Kurakhovo. A week ago they were around 8km. Update: encircled.

Sukhi Yaly. Russian MLRS, either Uragan or Tornado-S, deliver cluster munitions on Ukrainian positions. By the 14th SPN.
FABs hit Novoukrainka. This village is now under Russian assault.
Russian missile strike, possibly X-38ML, takes out another Ukrainian pontoon crossing in Sadove.
Some Americans say America isn't actually sending billions worth of aid to Ukraine since they are all outdated weapons which are not worth much and its better than letting them rot in warehouses.
Is there any truth to this or just nonsense?

I think of Ukraine as Vietnam with snow, rather than a European Desert Storm. So it doesn't really matter, because if they're not being replaced, it's still attrition.
In 1974, months before the fall of Saigon, the frontline was still at Hue in central Vietnam and it was still positional fighting near Hai Van Pass.
Does this mean that it would take a century for the PAVN to take Saigon? Well, South Vietnam guys fled clinging to helicopters in 1975 so you tell me.
I think shows that historically, when attrition and exhaustion reaches a critical stage, total collapse is possible within months. And if the attrition is not replenished rapidly within the timescale of collapse, it cannot stop the collapse. And every little bit of positional fighting that is won, just improves the speed of attritional collapse.
