Russian special military operation in Ukraine #38

Destroying Leopard is a matter of making Kornet proliferate throughout, as well as Metis - if no offensive will be conducted set up ambushes before the great Ukro offensive wrote:

Worrying reports coming from greyzone channel. The gist of it being that it appears to be some rift between Ru MOD and Wagner which spawned its own consequences, main one being the Ugledar fiasco as well as MOD shutting down the prisoner pipeline for wagner.

GZ takes based on talks on the ground is that recent successes of the orchestra has made the fossil generals and Ru MOD look bad so they took steps to hamper the work of wagner. As well as attempted an woefully unprepared offensive on Ugledar so as to not look completely incompetent in the wake of orchestras successes in Bakhmut. The offensive caused needless loss of life with negative results. Buryats who are very reserved also criticized MOD without specifically mentioning them which lends credence to there being a problem with commanders.

Prigozhin in a recent interview with wargonzo confirmed that there appears to be a halt in prisoner recruitment without specifying exact reason. Which lends credence to greyzones claim that the recruiting process for orchestra is being hampered with.

EW units nonexistent

Initial artillery salvo prior to storming was shut down fast by UA counter battery with no answer

Z counter battery nonexistent

Air support non existant

Seemingly no strategy other than sending in columns of armored against precision artillery

Nonexistent sapper and engineering units to clear obstacles

Severe miscommunication between units leading to a utter clusterfck. This has been confirmed by motorized reinforcements.

These are not my claims but greyzones, I am just highlighting them in the name of transparency and because I know there are not many other pro Z who cover it. I like healthy discussions and constructive criticism.
