2/ When multiplied by 24, which, in case you don't know, is the number of hours in a single day, this should give us the distance in kilometers that a snail covers in a day.
2/ aviation sorties, logistics—the list continues for as many roles as there are in a society. In truth, warfare encompasses all these elements. Personally, I view warfare as a struggle to break the enemy's ability to continue the fight.
2/ Having neutralized 4 drones during the initial assault, a weak spot was identified and the vehicle ended up receiving substantial damage from a Ukrainian FPV drone. Simultaneously wire became tangled in its tracks, causing it to collide with the Russian BMP in it's vicinity. 
2/ In the Avdiivka area, the enemy was allowed to advance. Berdychi has almost entirely passed under Russian control, with Ukrainian elements in many areas withdrawing behind the Durna river. This has been a maneuver that was planned by the general staff for a long time. 
2/ On the Kherson-Crimea front, Russian forces went on the offensive on 4 separate occasions, but failed to achieve any of their objectives. The line of contact remains unchanged. 
2/ On the Donetsk front, Russian infantrymen have managed to occupy sections of the gray zone in and north of Novomykhailivka. Ukrainian forces have launched counterattacks in the areas of Pobjeda, Pervomaiske and Nevelske in an effort to fix Russian forces in place. 
2/ Let's begin by asking the question, what is open-source intelligence? What is the proper definition of the term OSINT? Is it solely the act of geolocating? No. By definition, OSINT refers to collecting and analyzing data from open sources to produce actionable intelligence. 
2/ I literally can not exaggerate the massive boost in efficiency of artillery support under these conditions. On a head-on charge, success is impossible for the Russians. Holding this territory doesn't require a large number of troops either.
2/ On the northern front, Russian opposition forces, encountering minimal resistance, penetrated the international border on three separate axes. Territorial gains have been recorded in the directions of Shebekino, Grayvoron, and Kazinka. 
2/ It's science. Susceptibility to propaganda is a fundamental property of intelligence. No one is exempt from its influence. Whether or not you consciously realize it, the effect at the neuron level is always present on exposure. 
2/ For those who have followed him for a long time, David's experience is evident. As the frontline remains stagnant and Western media unnecessarily spreads panic over minor developments, we can clearly discern on who truly supports Ukraine and who is merely in it for followers. 
2/ Tanks have to evolve. Doctrinally and technologically. Like many things, military technology is subject to evolution. Pretending that any tank design, western or Russian, can decisively deal with drones and continue operating as it would ten years ago is self-deception. 
2/ On the enemy's own admission, the tactical approach employed by Ukrainian forces is noteworthy. Having control over the stronghold south of the settlement, the AFU allows the Russian spearheads to advance, only to find themselves encircled from all sides and annihilated. 
2/ According to this article, American advisors had been urging Ukrainian command, including the CiC himself for "the past several weeks" to abandon all other axes/vectors of attack and focus SOLELY on the Orikhiv - Tokmak axis. 
2/ Yevkurov's visit in Libya and Syria was marked by a proposal that raised a lot of eyebrows. A proposal to displace the infamous "Wagner" group from the two countries.
