Per a report from the Ukrainian MOD, the Russians are trying a pontoon crossing over the Irpin River.
This comes after the last assault on Irpin failed very badly.
Map clarification time. The red box is Demydiv, the reported area where the crossing is taking place. The blue line is the Irpin river. Red X is where the Russian mechanized formation was destroyed yesterday.
If I didn’t have this account, or if I had 48 hours in a day, I would be glued to radio intercepts, because there are a huge number of unencrypted, completely open communications being made by the Russians.
I’m talking about brigade and battalion level stuff.
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.
