Khodakovsky is an LDPR commander, sure he has weight behind what he says

But let's get down to the business at hand

Kharkov had 5 BTGs defending, and that's why they retreated

Many maps were published showing about 20BTG in donetsk , and something like 5 to 7 in Kharkov

Intentional? Maybe to draw Ukrainians forward

As for lack of equipment, how? Artillery was never in short supply, although the amount of tanks was lacking and generally mechanization

It was more of a trench war

Even helicopters and aircraft have not flown at the intensity we saw earlier in April and May, or even June , July

I don't know if mobilization is the answer, perhaps the general staff wants a good reserve formed

But in my uneducated opinion, based on what I saw in Syria

What is needed to to do as they started in kharkov,, hit the critical infrastructure, and begin to bombard the entire city and the army wherever it hides

Send in the army and clean up

Repeat

That list is fake. Jfc. There was no contact between forces.

Mobilization doesn't have to equal general mobilization. If they start to call people up, it would be few tens of thousands, not milions of people. Probably, ex-contractors that left army in the last 5 years, or something along those lines.
I fail to see how will that influence economy in a major way.

They knew. But why do they have to make is so difficult for themselves and especially their supporters propaganda wise? There has to be a better way than this. The world is watching the maps whether they like it or not. Whether it is a territorial line or not. Propaganda wise they should have one job. Avoid a shitstorm like this.

Why should the Russian General Staff care about the feelings of some randome dudes in the Internet/on Twitter?

What do you expect them to do? Post a long explanation on their website, telling us that the Nazi regime plans an "offensive" and Russia will take back her forces from there to let the Nazis chase ghosts, shorten the frontline and free up additional forces to break through the last remaining "fortresses" in the Donbass area? 

Heard rumours that the SMO will be turned into an official Anti-Terror Operation. Not sure what that would mean or change.

Also with the game War Thunder there have been some legit issues WT doesnt seem to address and everyone soured on it. Now though it has become a meme that everyone always complains about WT and how they miss the good old days. Is there a similar meme with Russians when discussing shit like this?

PR does matter. One of the pillars of Putins governing style is public opinion. He cares what the ppl think. You just have to. Why did he post his opinion on the matter ? It's just yet another opinion. Which is the problem according to him.

Cutting the power did calm everyone down a bit. It was worth it. You cant just disregard what the population thinks

There was just 5 BTG's holding the entire zone. Perhaps there could have been 4-5x that many ? Then they'd probably be able to beat it back.

The head of the military-civil administration of the Kherson region (?(I may be wrong, because I saw the news only out of the corner of my eye and it was already lost in the telegram feed of the channels) reported that the Ukrainian troops had achieved an eight-fold numerical advantage in the breakthrough area. So it is likely that there were not even 4-5 Btgrs on the part of the Russian troops

Izyum grouping was around 20k at the time of active fights in April or May and cut to around 5k in Septembar. Balakleya sector had only 900 defenders, mostly LDNR reserve and two units of Rosgvardia. Ukrainians had 10:1 numerical superiority when they attacked.

There hasn't been any hit to critical infrastructure in over a day which is weird because Russia should be hitting many places if if they are doing this.

I wonder if Putin made them stand down

According to boris rozhin, svyatogorsk is partially occupied by the Ukrainians and they successfully created a bridgehead unimpeded which allowed them to transfer heavy equipment on the northern bank of the donets. Liman hasnt been reinforced at all, and the Ukrainians have material superiority against the defenders of liman.

Apparently a krab howitzer was destroyed, and allegedly a himars was destroyed with a helicopter atgm. However the image was far too blurry to confirm if its actually a himars.

Mobilization has nothing good. This is in the best traditions of liberoid tales - the very thing to "throw corpses". Firstly, it is the withdrawal of labor from the economy. Secondly, you can read Alexander Khodakovsky, one of the commanders in the LDPR - he talks about the lack of combat equipment, heavy weapons, intelligence means - but not about the lack of ma

How is there a lack of heavy weapons? The only way Russia csn lack them is through having massive losses

That was the result of the first wave of hits, if you're going to try and insult do so with correct information just makes you look like a fool otherwise, I am saying they haven't hit others areas since they targetted those.

ColonelCassad: AFU have crossed the Donets and have captured part of Svyatogorsk. They are attempting to encircle Lyman.

I will give you hint: there is a time bar at the bottom of the first pic.
I know that might have been too complicated for ya', so giving a helpful hand.

Lol are you serious your that delusional?

That is a time bar yes but its related network connectivity, your are trying to claim those time stamps are a result of strikes on the 11th sure, but as of the 12th there have been no new strikes which means the downfall from the 12th is just a result from earlier strikes.

Dude put down your drugs and stop being such a fanboy you have to try and defend every single little thing

Admit that: you are doing that with some unknown purpose.
One can't be so stupid and keen to flush the toilet same time

Ah nothing but insults this time around? welp just shows you didn't know what your talking about, next time do some research before you try and white knight for the russians bud ad that picture with just a watermark on it proves nothing, it could have been from literally any point of time. Don't ever post shit like that to me as proof.
