Yeah, not a well executed operation. When I heard about the operation I was worried. And as hrs passed and I didn't hear about reinforcements coming to form a bridgehead, I got a feeling that it would become a disaster.

An Airport Too Far
Then Russia's objectives for the first 24 hours will include waiting for Zelesky to crack or be cracked? It appears all the troops are waiting for something to happen
This is insanity. These folks are just going to be cannon fodders against Russian military. No need to waste civilian lives when we all know the outcome to this conflict is Russian inevitability.
A wall of text and no vid/ pictures of casualties or aftermath?
Best to wait until things are really confirmed.
It is a fact that the Russian Army has a logistical problem, for you to keep in mind about this, just see that most of the most advanced Russian troops in Ukraine were where the airborne assault took place, the cities close to the border point in all of Russia are still too close to extend the logistical force and have any supply and ammunition problems.
When we actually see hundreds of tanks, IFVs and other vehicles crossing different points of the border, it's really that the logistical force will follow and at that moment there could be some problem with that.
I believe that Putin expected some agreement and a term of surrender from Zelensky, but that is clearly out of the question. Zelensky has already signed the total mobilization order, distributed 10,000 rifles to the people of Kiev and is calling on everyone to resist the Russian invasion.
I really hope that the second wave will mobilize more than half of the resources that the Russians have deployed on the border. That first wave, and even, according to intelligence claims, the Russians only employed 1/3 of the entire force near the border.
In Belgorod alone, for example, there are thousands of troops awaiting an order. I saw some logistics trucks in Belarus approaching the border. Among other moves.
There have been multiple reports of this from different primary sources. But I get your point on waiting before drawing conclusions. There is fog of war, so naturally we cannot be 100% certain that something is true
The best we can do is draw preliminary conclusions based on how many different primary sources report on something
Some Hostomel’ aftermath at the Antonov airbase
Catching infiltrators I suppose. Or just hold their ground in cities (urban warfare)
