Oohh I wonder if they got some backdoor permission to ATACMS that site. They were slavering at the thought of it last I heard.

Wow. For context, Lipetsk is perhaps 300km east of Kursk… and roughly 400km from Ukraine… that is deep, deep in Russia. Moscow itself is only perhaps 550km from front lines

Or air launched cruise missile like storm shadows? Seems a bit far for ATACMS. Or could just be our good friend Boris out for a smoke again…Oohh I wonder if they got some backdoor permission to ATACMS that site. They were slavering at the thought of it last I heard.

I believe Russian eye witnesses said it was UAV's. Not sure if they were fixed wing, or drones.And how are they doing this? I don't keep up with weapons, range etc...I can't possibly care about the details...but are they getting close enough that they can bring in artillery within range or are there some really fun air-launched munitions that they just got access to, and UK is having no trouble flying to their launch zones to do this?
Thanks, that makes most sense, Ukraine has been using those UAV for all deep strikes (both air bases and refineries) over past few months, with Western cruise missiles and artillery all still hard blocked by Biden, to use just within Ukraine or relaxed slightly to imminent military threats near front lines.I believe Russian eye witnesses said it was UAV's. Not sure if they were fixed wing, or drones.
Now would be a great time for an addled, drugged up Kadyrov to announce an independent Chechnya.

Funny, supply trucks come in with goods, leave with POWs. Time to start bringing buses.He is alive, much more skinny, consumed by his deseases (I believe it's cancer?)
As for the Ukrainian thunder, there appear to be multiple brigades advancing, with paratroopers that started the whole thing. Everything is still in fog of war, because understandably the Ukrainian side keeps tight lips but some things get through.
One big unforseen problem for Ukr seems to be the huge number of pows, hindering their transportation back to Ukraine. It seems that without drugs and their own shooting anyone that tries to retreat, they're very much surrendering. Also, the zone was (supposedly) having a lot of Ru soldiers thst paid a lot of money to not be sent to the front and ended up in direct line of fire. Nice
Those 2 accounts seem to keep a steady stream of news, but many other are in overdrive
Edit - huge drone attack on multiple fronts in Russia. Let them feel their own strategy.

Takin' it to 'em ....
"Ukraine Armed Forces' General Staff confirmed the attack on the Lipetsk-2 airfield just outside the regional capital hit a number of targets including warehouses storing hundreds of glide bombs causing huge blasts and fires at the base and that it was carried out by Ukraine Armed Forces, the Ukraine Security Service and special forces.
"Several sources of ignition were recorded, a major fire broke out and multiple detonations were observed," the General Staff wrote in a social media post in which it also said that Russian Airforce Su-34 strike fighters, Su-35 air defense fighters and MiG-31 interceptors were based at the airfield.
"The drone strike caused a powerful explosion, setting off a chain of detonations and a large-scale fire that spread across much of the airfield," the Kyiv Post quoted a source in the Ukraine Security Service as saying."

looks like they bagged a major propagandist in Kursk
Taking and holding Russian soil is intended for ending the war.This is a good watch for the broader strokes of why Ukraine is doing this operation.
NATO training is the most effective on the planet as shown by the US military. The issue in Ukraine is it relies on combined arms operations and air superiority, which Ukraine lacks.Taking and holding Russian soil is intended for ending the war.
It gives Ukraine something of value in negotiations.
It adds pressure to flatly state "respect and return to international borders".
Ukraine must sweep as much lightly defended land as it can claim.
That is, after all, the only thing NATO training is good for. Lightning runs VS an unprepared opponent. Not the hardened positions Russia had a year to prepare for in Ukraine.
This is making the most out of the offensive potential Ukraine has. And I am all for it.
I would also love to see Ukraine take the Kursk NPP. If not to detonate and meltdown, then to cut Russia's electricity and to bargain with.
But that is probably too far away to claim.
