Quickly advancing through undefended territory is a lot easier than holding onto it when the counterattack happens, so I don't see this amounting to much.
It's their Battle of the Bulge
Apparently they're trying to fortify but I don't know how well they can do that on a short notice.
In territory that they don't know, no less.
The Ukraine's strategy is always based around photo-ops and gotchas, like when they got a bunch of guys blown up crossing the river to plant a flag and shoot a video. This is a larger-scale version of that.
Police in Texas already did that over 8 years ago to kill a guy who gunned down 5 cops in downtown Dallas
It's not policy, though. They're really looking forward to policy which allows them to carry death robots in their squad cars and be able to use them as just another tool available to them without approval from any higher ups. Like tasers, firearms, or pepper spray. If you thought wrong-address swat raids were bad, just you wait for the wrong-address drone strikes.
Fuck....so many things happening ...so many emotions ...
You say suicide mission, but I think the attack might actually save Ukrainian lives when Russia completes its encirclement.
Prior to 2014 Russia and Ukraine had an open border and full freedom of movement between them and you could still easily cross the border until 2018, are you seriously suggesting Ukrainians have never visited Kursk before?
Whether or not that is true it is missing my point because Russia wasn't expecting it to determine outcome. My point is that Western politicians have become so used to living in a world where playing word games and appealing to authority works for them, that they don't understand that saying something is so doesn't actually work against nations willing to go to war with you.
Atleast it's better than the WW1 trench warfare LARP we've been having for almost 2 years and recreating Grozny '94 in random Ukrainian towns.
@Useful_Mistake another containment breach. Bring the broom and mop pls.
The "Kursk People's Republic" doesn't exist outside the diseased minds of insane retards, so your question is kind of a moot point
90% indepedent
Should unironically do this and at the opportune time, like a villain in a Marvel goyslop movie, turn to the audience and say "Just kidding"and slaughter every Banderite within 100 miles while laughing like a maniac.
