      1. Worked for me: KURSK REGION. 09.08.2024

        UKR logistics works.
        Slower than I would have expected, which means there is some free space between the lead group and the main attack.

        The first rotation is behind us.
        “Khorne” group from 116th Brigade relieved another UKR unit. (tomato).

        I am worried that the leading units, i.e. reconnaissance companies of specific UKR brigades, are rushing at full speed, occupying RUS territory, at the same time setting the limits of the UKR’s offensive capabilities and this terrain potential may not be used by the UKR.

        Although in an exemplary manner, the mech units enter the lead and are followed by a tank brigade.

        Another issue is the lack of RUS checkpoints on main roads.
        It came to a point where the RUS placed mines without fuses on the road and withdrew.

        And there’s always these civilians driving around, although we get videos of them later.

        There is only one conclusion.

        There is no RUS unit along the main roads that would pose a major problem for these UKR reconnaissance units.

        The Russians are retreating and it seems that none of the larger units are eager to fight in this sector.

        The higher RUS command is keeping its mouth shut and there is no one to clean it up, and the blue milk has alre
        ady been spilled, and very seriously.

        REPORT from the rest of the front on Saturday.

    1. Remnants of a russian column caught in crossfire while running from the incoming Ukrainian advance, more than a company but probably less than a battalion got whipped out in this engagement alone.

      Then a russian tank company counterattacked and the results were spectacular. Turns out that russian T-62s did not stand much chance against PT-91s from the 22nd. Orkc where never good in manouver warfare or meeting engagements. And it shows.

  1. Newly released bodycam footage from cops on scene of Trump assassination attempt.

    It does seem to clear local cops at least. The interruption might have contributed to distracting the shooter and helped saved Trump’s life. Still no explanation why did Secret Service allowed the event to continue despite being warned.

    1. 1. Normally dogs don’t do that.
      2. Normally dog owners would react and prevent it.

      1. You ever own dogs?

        Normal dogs do that all the time. Something to do with hunting. Camouflage maybe.
        Guaranteed to happen immediately after a bath.

        That guy was pretty quick. Can’t always yank the leash fast enough.

        1. Bear shit. Old Jerome, my Greater Glengarry Moosehound, never missed a chance to put a dab behind his ears.

        2. Yes, multiple dogs over multiple decades. None has ever wallowed in human feces. I must be doing something wrong apparently.
