Which basically puts everything they have in risk now. A single guy with a cheap stinger waiting for starting or landing planes, some c4 for every important bridge or power infrastructure (just destroy a few poles of every line leading into Moskau). Endless possibilities, and the only way out is a lockdown of free movement.

Personally, I think we should get the Moscow phonebook and start making donations to Ukrainian agencies in Russian names. If the reality of war is finally sinking in, so too should the reality of a return to Stalinism.

Not sure where I saw it, but one of the more astute insights that I've come across regarding the Kursk assault is this:
It has proven that, despite the modern warfare environment of frequent satellite imaging (including open-source), drones, cell phones in the pockets of every soldier, each posing the risk of revealing position / other intel....it is still possible for a military to achieve strategic surprise on a moderate-to-large scale; and furthermore, that a very dense/extensive 'fog of war' can still exist.

Russian channels commenting on the attacked column near Oktyabr’skoe, east of Rylsk:
“Just watched a video from the scene. 13 military Urals and KAMAZ covered trucks with infantry. Many dead, some of the vehicles burned to the ground. It looks like the entire column was carrying infantry. They were armed, most likely a platoon per vehicle. 3-4 companies - an entire battalion was destroyed. Judging by the appearance of the column, about half were killed. This is one of the bloodiest and most massive strikes (most likely HIMARS) in the entire war.”

FWIW I read Ukraine had asked permission to use ATACMS on Russian territory in defense of the Kursk operation before I went to bed last night. Considering the whole airfield is on fire and just within range of ATACMS, I’m going to guess they got permission.

On the road to Rylsk from Kursk. Quite the distance from the action. And ~37 klicks from the closest border line.
I'd have to assume those were conscripts thrown to plug the holes.

From what I've read about the strikes it takes about a week to plan one - and that's assuming they have enough missiles in stockpile.
It might seem like they immediately hit after something happens, but it's not necessarily because of that exact thing, or it might have been planned before and they just decided to pull the trigger only right then.

I don't think that Ukraine will pull out but simply go back to positions in Russia that can be defended much better because of height and water obstacles. The current counter invasion allows them to move troops that were previously bound at the border to the new temporary border. This people can already fortify positions while the attacks go on.

That’s really weird. But I see the reasons behind it. US likes to keep it ambiguous. So they are still not allowing strikes “deep into Russia”.
This is purely to address would-be Russian nuclear worries. As long as the fight is around borders, Russia has no excuse to be concerned about their nuclear deterrence deep into their country are in danger.
A bit misguided though. If russia wants, they can come up with an excuse to threaten nukes anyways, like they did all through the war… So why placate them? As long as Ukraine does not specifically target nuke sites, silos…

Don't underestimate the effect on domestic opinion if conscripts start getting slaughtered.
Anders Puck Nielsen talked about it in his video, conscripts dying will start to touch every russian family to some extent, compared to volunteer soldiers who "wanted to be there" so if they die "it's fine, they volunteered".
I know everyone talks about how you can ignore the opinion of the population in a dictatorship, but it's only true to a certain extent. When the families and friends of soldiers and Rosgvardia units start turning against Putin openly enough, it gets really shaky really quick.
I'm definitely *not* saying this will topple Putin, far from it, but it's not a completely inconsequential thing either.

I've just seen the footage of a wasted Russian column in the Kursk region, there's dead Russian soldiers in the back in most of the vehicles and some vehicles that have been completely burnt out. They must have lost 100+ soldiers if not more and why they drove in a column after everything that's happened before is beyond stupid. It appears AFU hit them with ATACMS.

Spectacular Ukraine advance but what's happening to the territory they captured? Russian MOD is flatten to the ground every territory they captured that's obviously not Ukraine MOD but as they push forward are they just defeating local military and moving forward or are they leaving troops behind and occupying the towns they capture? Is there a backfill of troops to hold and secure the captured towns and supply lines that allow them to move forward or is it just a Leeroy Jenkins let's see how far we can go?

Just looking at the convoy images, I'm curious what has actually taken them out? The geolocation puts the one at least 37 km over the border. But I don't think it is HIMARS - surely a moving convoy would be hard to hit. Plus the canvas canopies aren't shredded, the road surface isn't torn up, and the road is only scorched around the trucks that are burned out. In some cases the trucks are full of casualties but look almost untouched except the tires. It looks a lot more like the Byraktar attacks on convoys from the first days of the war to me, but that would imply absolutely no air defence.

There's a lot of guesswork as we don't have the complete information. We can speculate but asking the question doesn't answer the question. :D
Some possible objectives (and alleged gain/purpose)
- Kurchatov NPP (swap for Enerhodar)
- Belgorod logistics (collapse the axis, at least 10k headcount)
- whole Kursk oblast (swap for donetsk)
- force Russian redeployment (disarray, relieves pressure in the east)
- sabotage in force (cause massive destruction internally)
So far, none of the above have been achieved that we have proof of. Except the Russian redeployment - we've already seen evidence of convoys being taken out in the middle of redeployment. Freebies.
And they've hinted that none of the above is the **only** objective. So just wait and see.

Additionally the territory they are taking and seem to be moving towards is high ground
Likely they aim to take as much as feasible,cause panic and destruction then hinner down and create a new front inside Russia, taking the war to Russia itself and forcing Putin to either redirect forces from Ukraine or trigger another round of mobilization which would be very unpopular

They're also getting very close to Lgov if that turns out to be true as well, I'd bet money shutting down that rail line is a major objective of this to choke the supply line. There's also a bridge just north of it which would be a perfect target for demolition and cutting off the line entirely while theres another line running west to Sumy Oblast if the Ukrainians decided to take it over for their own needs.

T"he GUR releases video footage of a recent landing operation on the Kinburn Spit. They report that on August 9, 2024, Ukrainian special forces conducted a successful raid on the Russian-occupied Kinburn Spit, destroying six enemy armored vehicles and eliminating around 30 Russian soldiers.
The operation involved multiple special units, supported by the Ukrainian Navy and other security forces. During the mission, Ukrainian forces attacked key Russian positions and raised the Ukrainian Military Intelligence flag near a landmark on the spit."

It also happens imminently before some Russian buildings intercept a storm shadow or two. So it could be anything, which I'm sure is fun for the Russians to try and guess each day.

Any Russian soldier lucky enough to live long enough to come within sight of Ukrainian Forces would do better for themselves to surrender at the soonest opportunity. They might as well look out for themselves because, sure as hell, no one else is.

We're still talking about a very small force here. Two days ago we had confirmation of a few detachments from 2-3 different brigades were in use. Now it appears that about 2-3 full brigades and some detachments of a few additional brigades are being used in this operation.
In the grand scheme, it's only a few thousand men and doesn't give us much of a picture of Ukraine's overall strategic-level capabilities. The big picture of the situation remains more or less the same as it was a week ago: Ukraine has a severe manpower shortage that disables them from rotating troops in and out of combat duty, and this has allowed Russian offensive pressure to make gains in the south.
Hopefully now, however, Russia will station large numbers of reserves in Kursk and Belgorod instead of putting them to use in the south, which will help relieve the pressure on the strained Ukrainian defenses and give them some breathing space to refit those defending units.

It might be great, but probably not worth the price. The biggest surprise to me was that Ukraine is mostly moving north and north west. I was expecting a lot more movement south or south east to try and get behind the Russian lines there. Maybe the main goal is to simply force Russia to go reinforce an area they weren’t currently fighting in.
