😁🇷🇺Warlords and North African dictators around the world are going to be so jealous of Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov's new ride.

From the early days of the War, a strategic concern had been building.
We've seen many instances of Russia destroying concentrations of foreign mercenaries in Ukraine.
However, Ukraine has been able to amass large aggregations of men and materiel across the country without Russia taking them out.
Maybe it's due to AD. Or Ukraine doing too many things at the same time (since they outsource a lot of the planning to the 14 Eyes and the West), that RU has to prioritize. But that inability made the Kursk incursion a possibility.

All they had to do was designate a Kalibr or Iskander for every grouping that exceeds 2,000 men - enough to cause damage - and run down the clock on the Eastern Front.

Add that to the list of limitations. They also can't stop the free flow of weapons into Ukraine. And they also can't destroy Ukrainian military industry since they can always just move underground. This has been a boon for the production of small drones, since they import parts from Asia which does not have the same deficiencies as the West.

Essentially, Ukraine cannot win the war. But they can be a very costly nuisance. The Kursk gambit reflects this.
It shouldn't lead to anything significant, but it was always an asterisk. Ukraine amassed soldiers on the borders of Belarus, Transnistria, and Russia. They could have pushed into any of the three. Belarus would be a provocation since they aren't currently a belligerent. Moldova firmly opposed moving into Transnistria. So they went into Kursk. The partisan infiltrations into Belgorod over the past 18 months provided critical insight into Russian defenses and response times. They also softened the underbelly with the deep strikes on airfields and radars.

Russia has the trump card because they have the superior force, a lot of land, larger population, and an intact MIC.
By some estimates, Ukraine can only support an incursion of about 100KM. That's the farthest they can go before supply chain and logistic snags wreck them. The deeper they go in, the larger the defense perimeter of the Ukrainians, which they'll have to man with more troops. It also allows Russia lots of surface area to press for pinchers through the flanks. It is a strategic gift.
It's the Prigozhin affair again. Let them roll in and make Russia the newest cemetery for Ukrainians.
From a PR perspective, this is not ideal. But if I can see it, I'm pretty certain Command would have told Putin that his slow, methodical approach would always have this as a potential outcome. Got to take the good with the bad.

This is also reminiscent of the Kharkov offensive. Ukraine had swift, lightspeed attacks. Captured a lot of ground. It fizzled out. They've been on the backfoot since. And right now a repeat seems implausible. Russia is learning a lot on the fly right now.

I had called for a general mobilization since last year. Equip a 5m man army. Take everything east of Dnieper and connect a land bridge to Transnistria. End the war and prepare for other theaters. Russia will need a lot of operators and resources to back its clients in Africa - Libya, Sudan, CAR, and its new Sahel friends; the Middle East (Syria, Iran, Iraq, Lebanon); its Asian commitments - the Big One (a potential Taiwan invasion), North Korea, India, expanding its Pacific Fleet; and South America - Cuba, Bolivia, Venezuela, and maintaining its strategic interests on the continent.

But Putin wants a slow war . And that provides more time and boundless opportunities for more ship sinking, airfield strikes, terrorism and assassination, taking out pricey radar and AD installations, and Kursk-like incursions. These are the drawbacks of a slow war. Right now, many in the West think a Russian mobilization and all-out attack is justified, but Putin still would not bite.

Certainly Netanyahu has provided a stark contrast even though he has not and cannot achieve his objectives. He has helped buttressed the merits of Putin's approach. Ultimately, this is how he has opted to fight this war. When Medvedev fought the Georgian War, he deployed troops at a 5:1 advantage, disabled Georgian air and naval forces. Then it became a turkey shoot.

So you are not even going to show us small pics

Person wey know say dem no born im father well.
His accomplices in crime have fled this topic since the day the police report changed from pending to processing.

Gbadebo19:

It's not by shouting on Nairaland.
You can also go to Twitter and search for me there, then come back here and post my pics and location.
That shouldn't be too hard to do, should it?

Gbadebo19:
Really dumb humans here.
The lame defense of these unrepentant criminals is akin to a thief who stole from a house and defends himself by saying the owner is at fault for leaving his own windows and door open.
He posted his own full name here yen yen yen.

Dream25:

Pls drop that your name again so I can search for you and your pictures..
I'll post it here and other thread on nairaland..

Gbadebo19:

It isn't hard. Just go back about 5 pages on this thread. You will find it.
Your case is like someone who asks for a fight and staggers backwards for about 10km. Who doesn't know he is actually scared of fighting.
Please remember to tag me to the post when you do so, so that I can see it.

I have done just that. Oya. Take it to the bank.

Police report changed to processing mean say wetin? Na wereey you be. Very foolish adult human.

1993 pikin behaving like kindergartner. You will be 31 this year yet you have very little sense in your head.

You finished school, law school, you didn't go. Nysc, you didn't go. So what are you doing?

Or you've gone into stealing full-time? Because that appears to be the only thing you're good at other than being racist towards your fellow black man and calling them black monkeys.

You better grow up and start taking your life serious.

shoodboi2:


He doesn't need to go find it. I've helped him already 😛

Saying he hopes to reach Ukraine in peace lol

Appleyard:


Your logical deductions vis-a-vis the Ukrainian Kursk incursion and the perceived Russian limitations are not only reasonably sound, but also truthfully captures what has now metamorphose as the stark reality of border wars--somethings would always go through, no matter the party's A2/AD and OSINT capability.

We see this

Isn't it funny that Russians in sudza and kursk are not protesting against the Ukrainians
