1/ just in #Kreminna direct video showing #ZSU taking action in the vicinity of Kreminna (recently)
dismounted troops are engaging Ru forces with the support of one armor vehicle (MBT)
before some people jumps on their armchair horses about "how it should be done"
you got to
2/ understand, first of all where you are and why do this like that. it make "sense" in this precise situation.
because first. as you see in the video the MBT (tank) is "forced" to go in a straight "alley" between trees and there is also some remaining trenches in that forest.
3/ imagine they are south west of Kreminna (but i can't tell for sure just guessing here the best i can) so i made a map (you can zoom in).
then if there are Ru with ATGMs (and they still have a lot there) you don't won't to get shot down like a turkey when hunting season open.)
4/ so you need to be able to move as fast as you can, to create fast maneuvers but if you are 5 in a row, you won't do that. there is a bottleneck here and it would not be wise to bring a column in that forest no knowing exactly what you are going to get confrontation with.
so
5/ what you might want to do, like they are doing here, is to have several platoons, going forward at their own pace, knowing what they have to do, and in case something "big" is send by the Ru in one of these "alleys" then you can shoot them down with your big gun first.
6/ it is of course not the only way to do it.. and some might argue you don't even need an MBT here to do such moves / tactics performed by infantry. sure.
but there are one other advantage is that if they need to go backward on a perpendicular alley, you can carry back /protect
7/ a lot of your men.

there is one thing to be noticed in all this sequence : the guys in this MBT have really huge "cojones".
8/ side notes ; seems to me it's a T-80 with famous(lol) gas turbine (but sounds/ works ok)
also if you "see" someone like he does (reason why he starts to drive back - small firearms though) & let say it was another MBT then you can hit 2km in 1 seconde.
reason you need pros.
9/ another side note : contrary to what " jet pilots" believe they r the only one to perform on a battle field, your time of reaction is so so important, & you also need to work with "hunch" & pre-worked reflexes in order to just react like thunder. 1 sec is diff btwn life/death

As said several times that #Ukraine (like my friends the #Kurds) has an impressive ratio of women in the armed forces even compared to best NATO members. Women constitute 9% of the direct Armed Forces. much more total.
Abt 5k women are directly involved in hostilities.
2/ and let me tell you there are here to joke around..
you don't need big muscles to put a bullet in a Wagner corpse.
they are also showing men on the frontline that bravery is not a masculine avatar.
3/ they are everywhere and can perform every task. and are a constant reminder of what was long forgotten and only "reconsidered" recently in our countries but known even before the vikings.. that the one who chose this path & are fully dedicated to this

1/ The situation at the frontier is intensifying and degrading in #Kosovo & Metohija
Pro-Serbian mass media report shots fired in the vicinity (area) of the city of Zubin-Potok, where the Kosovo special forces allegedly tried to break the Serbian frontier (now it's quiet) Image
2/ Later, some mass media began to spread information about the "diplomatic ultimatum" that was put forward by the ambassadors of #Germany, Italy, the USA, #France (Macron said he was really concerned last week bc of deep reliable intel) & GB to the President of #Serbia, Vučić, Image
3/ so that he would influence the dismantling of the "barricades".
Vučić held a meeting with the prime minister & their MOD, then General Milan Mojsilović stated that "the tasks received by the Serbian army are clear & understandable& the situation is difficult." Image

There is a lots of "noise" right now about #Kreminna. and something about a really good news to come..
i can't confirm yet, but it seems that Ukr would be at least breaching the perimeter of the city.
It would be south by the forest
we'll see tomorrow about confirmation.
2/ Also earlier tonight:
Ukrainian MP @GoncharenkoUa
shares a big big wink wink hint abt some good news to come on his Telegram. but does not make entirely "sense" then..

#Kreminna in Ukrainian = Кремінна
here he talks : "Flint".. : in Ukrainian = Кремінь (ping @OleksandrKolym
3/ ok... that seems to "confirms" it though.. as they say to "wait for it"
and when nothing is happening.. they never even talk about it.
but which also indicates the city is of course not liberated. impossible in a day.
people should not share such nonsense.

Just in!
this is the new list of weapons #Ukraine should receive as president #Zelensky @ZelenskyyUa is officially visiting US right now.
there might be also couple of undisclosed other goodies we will learn about later on...
#Weaponslist #UkraineRussianWar
1/
2/ what i'm really crazy happy about here out of the the "usuals" is that Ukr battalions are going to receive a TON of grenade launchers which is precisely one of the thing they needed right now to fight around place like #Bakhmut !!

Also really nice to have more claymores to
3/ prepare more nice "trap" when Ru are advancing in the night all cover in black as their new tactic, in this area, they will certainly encounter a lot more of "sudden" surprise on their way.. (also perfect to hide just beyond a thin layer of mud right now)

also it's nice to
