Russia

On number 2 above, Ukraine sent 225 drones, but it took only 6 to utterly destroy the radar unit and 4 more (2 each) to take out the two support vehicles. Not a single drone was shot down as the surprise was complete.

Ukran infantry has entered Tyotkino and house to house fighting is on-going there. Ukraine lost two armored vehicles approaching the town, both German-made APCs, but everyone inside, 10 soldiers in each, survived. That is the main difference between Western-made equipment and Putin's junk. His crap explodes like a giant firecracker, while western vehicles can take hits and survive allowing soldiers to get out safely. Both APCs were damaged, one losing a track, the other took a hit in the engine, so they had to be abandoned. Later Russia sent drones to strike the vehicles again destroying them.

In other sectors of this recent Kursk incursion, there have been mixed results. At one place the Ukrainian "clearing" machine, which is an armored bulldozer used to push the concrete dragon teeth out of the way, was struck by Russian drones and destroyed. The two-man crew was killed, according to reports. Another such machine was struck and destroyed but the crew was able to get out safely. And, on the good side, a Russian convoy of a tank, two IFVs and several trucks carrying troops, was hit, all vehicles destroyed. Estimated that half of the Russians were KIA. They were on their way into the Kursk region of the recent incursions.

And, Ukraine is continuing to send greetings via drone attacks on Moscow. All four Moscow airports remain completely shut down, with thousands of stranded, and highly aggravated, passengers forced to sit and wait. Too bad.

Lots of kabooms in Crimea. Putin moved 280 of his aerial defense systems into Moscow to protect his propaganda parade and had to take them from somewhere. No way was he going to put his precious Kerch Bridge at risk, so he took them from other places in Crimea and from Kherson. Of course, there are other locations now absent defense systems and Ukraine will identify those and strike targets elsewhere. They will have until the 10th to take advantage of this opportunity.

A dozen targets were struck in Crimea and four in Kherson, all military targets of course. Meanwhile, Putin has stepped up his attacks on little old ladies and kindergartners...after all those two groups represent a threat to Putin's almighty military.

Just before the start of Putin's 72-hour ceasefire the Ukrans launched numerous attacks in Kharkiv and into Kursk. All very successful. Three more incursions into Kursk, one of those the place where the Ukrainian barrier-remover (bulldozer), was destroyed. But the goofy Russians did nothing afterwards, they did not replace the barriers, and even worse they withdrew their troops leaving that highway wide opened and unguarded. So, after scouting the border crossing with a recon drone, the Ukrainians literally just drove into Russia uncontested. They advanced about 4 miles into a village and have dug in there expecting a counterattack. The attacks in Kharkiv gobbled up huge chunks of ground.

Chicom leader Xi, is in Moscow, as are about 6 other leaders.

More than 20 nations sent their leaders or some representative to Moscow and 13 nations sent small contingents of troops to participate in Putin's parade. Brazil was one of those. Will post the whole list later. Putin had the entire Internet, which he referred to as the "internyet" nice play on words there Vladimir, which shut down all those towers so that Ukran drones would be unable to ping off the towers to aid in navigation. Pretty clever idea by Putin. It worked, although it is apparent Ukraine really had no intention of attacking Putin's parade. Instead, they have used this opportunity to attack more vulnerable military and infrastructure targets.

All of European Russia, west of the Ural Mountains, and about half of Russia's landmass, had the Internet shut down for 24-36 hours according to Kremlin sources. This will give Putin the idea of keeping the Net turned off to deny Ukraine using the towers to aid in guidance which has allowed them to send drones deep into Russia. Putin doesn't care about the average Russian citizen; they are all just pawns for him to use in his evil game. I can see him keeping the Net turned off indefinitely.

But, the ever-clever Ukrans will, no doubt, engineer a go-around to alleviate this problem. Stay tuned.
