What's up with Kadyrov today? He seems pretty pissed off. On his TG channel, which i wont repeat here because in western democracy im not sure any longer its even legal to share official words from the other side, but hes going as far as mentioning jihad in the lands of the satanic followers

Somebody obviously made some kind of miscalculation and pissed this guy off, hes not the kind of guy I would be messing with tbh.
A bunch of his troops suffered a AFU MLRS surprise attack, 40-50 dead.

Regarding the Russian re-introducing T-62s to be in service, i hypothesized that it's due to Russians lack of "bridge" armored vehicles between AFV and MBT like light or medium tanks, the Russians do have light tanks like 2S25 Sprut SD but it's lack of number and possibly the unstable state of it using 125 mm, it's quite hard to mass produce it in substantial amount, so the easier economical solution is re-introducing T-62s which has better armament and easier to operate one.

Given Kadyrov's response I'm not seeing much reason to doubt that this is true.
The positive propaganda gained from front line soldiers media is more than offset by the OPSEC risks it would seem, Cherchens are definitely more visible in this aspect than the regular Russian army or even militia forces.

Edit:
Said video, while not obviously identifiable, it only takes 1 Ukrainian to recognise and report it.

So if the defense lines are starting to be filled by rear echelon troops while the elite units are being pulled away to unknown location this suggests to me

Or, regular forces have taken such a beating by Ukraineans so they have to be replaced?

Ukrainian Defense Minister Aleksei Reznikov said in an interview with Japanese broadcaster NHK that the offensive in southern Ukraine has slowed down but will return with greater vigor at the start of the winter season.
"Visually confirmed" usually means Team Ghouta dubious tallies.

That said, if we assume the numbers are accurate the numbers are "low" relative to the amount of sorties they carry out and the amount of MANPADS available to Ukraine.

For comparison, the Muhjaideens received between 500 to 900 Stingers during the course of the Afghan war. So it seems Vitebsk is a rather effective system so maybe the Russians will stop being so stingy with it and put it in every system out there
I advise you to view these confirmed losses from that source.

The Polish Twitter account "Visegrád 24" is not one of the most reliable sources of information. I have noticed how information is distorted and manipulated with half-truths and sometimes obvious fakes.

In the comments below the video itself, opinions also creep in that the video looks fake.

According to the polar Russian Telegram channels, both warring parties are currently in an operational pause caused by the weather. Heavy rains and mud on the fronts and this slows down the active fighting on both the Russian and Ukrainian sides. There are several videos of captured Ukrainian POWs and you can really see how the fighters are wading in the mud.
