    And if you don't produce consequences for violating the Russian border in Kursk or better yet topple that regime with all the forces you can muster while ruling out any more one-sided announcements on peace conditions - then they will violate a few more things next time. A dirty bomb, perhaps? All they see in you is weakness.

    This sounds feasible. Starlink stops at the Russian border Very Happy Think its called a geofence

    Condottiero writes:

    About Starlink

    Almost every Ukrainian Armed Forces vehicle has a Starlink satellite Internet kit. The main or backup communication and control system is probably connected to these systems. Through satellite Internet, enemy soldiers not only receive orders, but also, most importantly, receive information about the situation. Coordination of equipment operation is significantly simplified with the availability of suitable software.

    But something went wrong. Starlink does not work in the Kursk region and in the border area of ​​Sumy. At all.

    We find boxes with Starlink in almost every IFV or armored vehicle of the Ukrainian Armed Forces; it is unpacked but not configured.

Nothing will change with Putin, that is obvious. There will also be no major response, no revenge for Ukraine's entry into Kursk Oblast. The operation will be conducted in the same way all the time.

    conducting an incursion into hostile territory during wartime is 1000000000000000000000000000000000 completely legit....

    Correct

    It's war

    Ukraine could torch entire downtown Moscow and it would be by the book

    And they have every right to go for it, it's Russia's job to make sure that doesn't happen

    If Ukrainians do manage to do it it's Russia's fault for failing to stop it

    No negotiations. Ukraine simply should not exist., by Victoria Nikiforova for RiaNovosti. 08.14.2024.

    The main result of the Ukrainian attack on Russia turned out to be exactly the opposite of what was intended. They tried to "improve their negotiating position." In fact, they got to the point where there will be no negotiations.

    During these difficult days, a grim determination to fight to the end, "to the thaw," as our fighters say, matured and strengthened in the hearts of millions of people in Russia. No matter how long it takes, in the 17th century we gnawed these lands from Poland for decades, broke off bit by bit, retreated, concluded armistices and again steadily, inexorably moved forward until Kiev became Russian.

    There should be no "Ukraine", this entire space should be denazified, cleansed and rendered harmless. Whatever efforts and sacrifices are required of us, we are ready for them.

    The West has long fooled the world with the bait that historical processes have accelerated in our time, are moving at a furious pace and are trying to adjust to the presidential elections in the USA . In reality, this is a lie - soon only cats will be born and Maidans will be stirred up.

    True revolutionary processes unfold slowly, over decades. Now Russia has entered into a leadership role in precisely this kind of historical upheaval. We are fighting for our independence and are ready to fight for it for years and decades, until we reach Lvov - and, if necessary, even further. In the end, the answer to the question "who does Russia border?" is: "Russia borders whoever it wants."

    We also had illusions that the Ukrainian conflict could be resolved quickly and with a minimum number of victims. For two years we hoped that something would snap in the heads of the maddened population of the former Ukrainian SSR, and they would change their minds about dying for their Fuhrer. We did not want to fight "to the last Ukrainian". Paradoxically, we were the only people on Earth who felt sorry for the Ukrainians.

    Hence the peace talks, the idea of ​​which we sincerely supported. Until recently, according to all polls, the majority of the Russian population was in favor of a peaceful resolution of the conflict. The events in Kursk Region changed everything.

    The enemy is on our soil for the first time since the Great Patriotic War. German infantry fighting vehicles are driving around the Kursk region. The collective West is cheering for its cannon fodder. Civilized Europe approves of terror against Russians. Americans are enthusiastically comparing the Ukrainian sabotage to the Inchon operation, when American occupiers managed to turn the tide of the Korean War. As a result, the US took half of Korea for itself, forcing a ceasefire on the sides. Now they want the same result in Ukraine, but it will be the exact opposite. 180 degrees - yes, Annalena, that's what it's called.

    "What can we negotiate with these people about?" asked the Russian president. This is a rhetorical question, it does not need an answer. The Americans desperately needed peace talks before the elections. Now they can say thank you to Zelensky - there will be no talks.

    Oddly enough, we can also thank the Jewish Nazi. His sabotage launched such a powerful national building in Russia that we could not even dream of. Against the backdrop of a direct and obvious external threat, all our recent disputes seem like such nonsense.

    We were pumping the interethnic issue - well, where is it now? Muslim communities of Kursk region call on their co-religionists to help Kursk residents with everything they can. Azerbaijanis are transporting humanitarian aid in trucks. Chechen fighters are catching VSSU officers in the forests. We are all together, and together we are an invincible force.

    The discourse about "corrupt elites" has fallen apart before our eyes. It's hard to repeat this nonsense while watching Governor Gladkov, who is haggard from lack of sleep, evacuate people from under fire. Thousands of Muscovites have gone to our border these days - they are bringing humanitarian aid, helping to evacuate people, providing medical assistance. They were called "fed-up Muscovites from Patriki", but in reality they are the same "Alyoshka from Malaya Bronnaya and Vitka from Mokhovaya".

    And this entire huge, multi-million mass of people, this entire boundless country - what can you do with it on a scale of decades? We will not go anywhere. We will kill Nazis until we cleanse our entire land. And if it is necessary to crush the vermin in its lair, we will go there too - take note of Western leaders. Today this awareness has come to everyone, even to the people farthest removed from politics, even to the most stubborn pacifists.

    At the beginning of the Great Patriotic War, we also had enough pacifists, we hoped for the brotherhood of nations, for class solidarity with the German proletarians. No matter, the atrocities of the Germans quickly cleared the brains of our ancestors.

    It is the same today - no one will ever forgive the Ukronazis for the suffering and death of our citizens. We have not forgotten the suffering of the Odessans burned in May 2014, nor the death of civilians in Donbass . There will be a reckoning for everything - in fact, it is already coming.

    Today, society has a pressing demand for our army not to work "in white gloves", as it has been doing for the past two years. Of course, Russia will always observe the laws and customs of war, we are civilized people. However, the CTO format declared in the border regions does not imply coddling the enemy. Terrorists who pose a threat are destroyed on the spot. Or, as our soldier put it well, "the settlement is liberated, while the exchange fund is not replenished."

    Compared to the ever-grimacing Ukrainians, Russians look unemotional. However, it is a mistake to take our imperturbability for weakness. In fact, it is cold determination, multiplied by legendary Russian patience. During our thousand-year history, this unique weapon allowed us to dismantle the most terrible armies and kill millions of our enemies. We are ready to use it today, we simply have no other choice.

    This is some high level trolling and bullshi*ting.

    Anyway 2 days are gone, Ukraine had enough time to dig trenches, so window was closed for Russia to kick them out easily from Kursk region.

    Now Ukraine has three scenarios: - to press more and possibly over stretch, to reduce contact points and focus to the most defendable zones and keep them or to fully withdraw on its own and plan something new... in neither scenario Russia has much to say.

    Russia has main two options - to press with all power and restore order in Kursk but for that will have to re-deploy forces and its own offensive activities in East Ukraine will be impacted or to do not much and keep pressing in East of Ukraine but risking losing more its own territories.

    The biggest thing that Ukraine incursion exposed is lack of personal on Russian side... basically there was almost no credible resistance for one week and even now response is slow and still far away what should be - so they are incredibly slow.


    Bigger picture is bleak for Russia, more long range drones will come, gap in electric warfare is melting and Ukraine is faster evolving new tactics, for example they have now anti drone system based on sound detection, or new interception drones... their overall capabilities are going still steadily up from day 1. Ukraine will be Vietnam for Russian forces.

    The counter view from Moscow

    Russian Forces Close to Encircling Ukrainian Troops in the Kursk Region

    The Russian army is nearing the completion of its operation to encircle Ukrainian forces in the Kursk region.

    According to Apti Alaudinov, Deputy Chief of the Main Military-Political Directorate of the Russian Armed Forces, the situation in the region is under the control of Russian forces. He stated, "The situation is under control. We are finishing the encirclement of the forces that entered the Kursk region and gradually closing all the gaps that were present."

    The enemy is reportedly suffering significant losses in both personnel and equipment.

    Ukrainian forces have begun digging in near the border of the Kursk region to avoid being destroyed.

    There is no strong push by Ukrainian forces to advance in the Kursk direction.

    In the near future, Russian troops are expected to launch a widespread offensive to completely eliminate the opposing forces.

     Ukraine has deployed over 30 UK robot dogs in German camouflage to combat in Donbass – BILD sources

     Recently, the fighting in the Donetsk region has taken on an exhausting trench character, the front line is changing extremely slowly. Therefore, the Armed Forces of Ukraine have introduced BAD.2 robotic dogs from the British company Brit Alliance into the battle. These are compact, durable and maneuverable four-legged land drones, which are controlled by an operator. They help to get to places where an aerial drone cannot go. For example, inside buildings or Russian trenches. Robotic dogs with a video camera reconnoiter the surroundings, detect booby traps, and calculate the movements of the Russian Armed Forces. This significantly reduces the risk for Ukrainian intelligence officers

     "We were concerned about the increasing number of reports of casualties at the front due to enemy drones," Brit Alliance CEO Kyle Thorburn told BILD. "So we discussed the possibility of a safer solution for reconnaissance tasks in high-risk areas. <..> The results are astounding. Our robotic dogs carry out reconnaissance tasks at the frontline, reducing the risk to human soldiers. This not only increases combat effectiveness, but also strengthens the morale of the army."

     According to BILD, there are currently more than 30 such dogs on the front. Thanks to the anti-heat camouflage from the German company Concamo, they are almost impossible to detect. The robot dogs silently creep across the battlefield at a speed of up to 15 km/h and operate in the enemy's area within a radius of 3.5 km for a maximum of five hours. Their cost, depending on the modification, ranges from 4,000 to 8,000 euros. "Nothing compared to human life," BILD observers note. The first to test the robot dogs were fighters from the 28th brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces

    The attack on the Kursk region is the peak of the conflict. Moscow will not sit down at the negotiating table until all of the Kremlin’s conditions are met. There can be no talk of any “disputed” territories now.

    What is happening in the Kursk region can now be understood from what foreign agents and Western sources are spreading. The attempt to create a backdrop for successful advancement is shattered by the reality in which an incredible amount of equipment and weapons are lost daily, which is why Kiev is not just taking resources from new regions of Russia, but also urgently asking for help with weapons.

    After the Kursk region, there will be a large-scale advance of Russian troops. And the West understands this, which is why they are changing their rhetoric regarding Ukraine.

    This discussion came out of comments on how good the roads are in Sudzha compared to Ukraine

    Russians With Attitude
    @RWApodcast

    One of the favorite talking points of both Ukrainians and westoids has been that Russia invaded Ukraine out of jealousy because they're such a rich and successful democracy, but the incursion into Kursk oblast, like similar events in Belgorod oblast, shows that the backward wasteland of Russia is a million times nicer and cleaner than our vibrant European neighbor. If you compare footage, even the last hick village in Russia has better roads, nicer houses and generally looks much more civilized than anything in Ukraine. Such is the bounty of 30 years of misguided pseudo-independence.

     Ukraine is the only former Soviet republic that is poorer now than in 1991, despite having been showered in gifts and development for many decades and inherited a significant percentage of the Soviet industrial legacy, as well as basically free energy and endless Russian subsidies until 2013. There have been many failed states in history but it takes a lot to mismanage a rich province with a highly developed industrial sector to such a degree.

    It is reported that units of the 80th and 82nd brigades of the AFU were withdrawn from Kursk Oblast due to significant losses. It is important to note that this is currently unconfirmed.


    Meanwhile.....................

    Russians made a surprising attack in the Kharkov sector (Lyptsi)
    Not sure if it will be something big - could also be "a show of force" to make clear that the Kursk raid is not effecting other lines.
    Time will tell.

    @AMK_Mapping_
    Geolocated footage indicates that following the consolidation of recaptured positions in Hlyboke, Russian forces have restarted offensive operations on the Dachas north of Lyptsi in northern Kharkiv Oblast.

    They attacked with several armoured vehicles and motorised rifle units. It is currently unknown if the attack was successful or not.
