They are pulling the best they have for Balakleya. The blitz on this axis is surprising in an attempt to cut the Izyum route, the AFU probably wants to take advantage of the low manpower buildup to keep moving forward, it seems that Balakleya only had a small Russian National Guard unit. Furthermore, it means that the AFU did not really consolidate the conquest at Balakleya by advancing straight to Shevchenkove.
Russia also pulled more equipment and manpower into Kharkiv, mostly artillery.
New group of Chechen SOFs heading to Ukraine.

Because it's the way to go. That's how you solve the Ukraine problem in hours.
Very good chance. Russia rarely lost Su-34 and they were flying very low and unprotected. Against several high-flying Tu-160/Tu-22M guarded by fighters with electronic countermeasures targetting ground defenses as a double-tap follow-up to an earlier strike by all fighters targetting ground defenses, there is almost no chance that Ukraine could post up a credible defense. This is a serious operation, not what we have seen so far, Russia sending lone warplanes to buzz around and basically annoy Ukrainians until they get shot down. Those beautiful machines were designed to fly high, fast, and deliver death in an instant, not to be played with like RC planes.
Well, the manpower issue is relative. Russia is an invading force so naturally, it will have less manpower than the defenders at home. But if the defenders are obliterated by FOABs, suddenly, the balance isn't so much against Russia anymore.

Not to mention that nothing much has happened in Kherson. “Broken defenses” as in Ukraine desperately trying to send reinforcements to the east side to relive them. If they were winning so hard then the Ukrainian official would not have made a statement on social media to honor the destruction of the 128th and their sacrifice to protect withdrawing Ukrainian units.
I Hope that everyone notices the sudden surge of bots in here that seem very well trained in a slow ignition of tensions playing the angles of left and right at the same time until the discussion is silenced.Take note, because this is exactly how they silence open discussion on Reddit and Twitter alike and achieve the ability to control the narrative and the thoughts of a huge number of people. Brainwashing.
I believe it's because they saw there is no narrative to take control of here as we actually are sharing information and debating it, while also debating the tactics and strategy.
I think if we stick to that and ignore these bots and trolls, just don't read or respond, them well be able to keep the thread going for a long time.

Chechens are no doubt the most ruthless and combat effective units in this entire war. They are the knock down the door type vanguard.
The Rosgvardia, special forces, Russian volunteers, VDV, army battalions, spetnaz... All Russian...
I understand that when the myths fall, it is about cleaning the image... But Kherson and Zaporizhzhia, it is mostly defended by Russian units
Any eastern European census is going to grossly overestimate their population. Most of them who live in western Europe still check the boxes to say they are resident in their native countries which inflates the actual population. Take out the pro-Russian Ukrainians and it's more like 2-3 million that Russia needs to deal with.
That population pyramid shows how bad things are in the Ukraine is even without the war. Notice the big indentation in the 15-24 group - lines up with the fall of the USSR. It's going to be a tough generation for them.
There was talk of US soldiers on social media spreading propaganda. There's a lot of them on Pakistan defense forum too active only in the Russia Ukraine war thread.
Would be so interesting to know who got troops rotation on the Russian sides. We got a long time with no news of the Chechens troops after Mariupol. When Chechens troops are actives we see a lot of video of them, they clearly likes to show-off. Is-it possible they are coming back from a troop rotation on the front ? Someone got a glimpse of informations about that ?
