Russian attack in Kharkiv pushed back with losses.
We are talking about potentially hundreds of casualties in the last 12 hours.
I’m not going to paint a rosy picture and say Ukraine is going to win, but the Russian decision not to dedicate more troops, more armor, or more fire support so far has cost them dearly.
On Ukrainian losses, I’m unsure. I imagine they have been pretty heavy as well, but today I’m actually thinking they may have come away with fewer casualties.
I do have one confirmed destroyed Ukrainian unit. A static display BDRM scout car.
Let me make it clear. These are people dying on both sides. With families. Lives. Some of them are conscript soldiers. Some are career. A lot didn’t know where they were going until just before the invasion.
Thousands of people will not come home because of this war.

The networking infrastructure they can build with that is definitely attractive, I do wonder if they can disable the heating element to drop the wattage requirements.
I do hope this ends up being a net positive, Elon has a history of being a bit intrusive into events like this.
