Reisner? What has he to do with the inner-Russian confrontation? He explains and assesses the military situation and I think what he says usually makes an awesome lot of sense, is sober, rational and free from wishful thinking. So much rationality is just not welcomed by many, as you seem to demonstrate. Our media prefer the narration of Ukraine being victorious. But truth is its in deep trouble. And if I would have gotten one euro for every time they said that Pution is close to detahj and that the regime is close to collapse and that the civil society is close to revolt and chase the kremlin inhabitants away and that the Russians run out of ammo and that they soon will have no more missiles to fire on cities and that there soon will be fuel shortages and whatever, I would have enough money to royally dine in a four star restaurant, three course menu with all tricks and treats.

He is quite qualified to comment, not only is he commander of Vienna's guard, and was or still is chief of some training centre of theirs, but he is also a PhD historian who has published several books on WW2, and one about future robotic and drone warfare, published 2018.

It should, but the political will of the US is absent and Europe is not prepared.
German politician Stegner just denied Ukraine the delivery of the Taurus cruise missile for "not escalating the situation"
I would like to escalate in a way that Stegner visits the russian front and gets accidentally hit.

Yes, it's certainly not looking all that good for Ukraine right now.

60 days into the offensive - now is this what we hope and wait for?

If true it means, according to various media reports, that they would have hacked a wide gap into the Russian defence line and split it into two. Some reports claim they already secured the flanks of the spearhead.


UKRAINIAN ADVANCE!! In #Robotyne update . Ukrainian forces broke Russian lines and advanced 5 km along a wide font. The are now outside Verbove and on the Eastern side of Robotyne. Source https://t.co/MqtTm48I8M pic.twitter.com/0LtvpSTlEZ

Tokmak is 35 km away from Verbove. If they want Melitopol, they must take or bypass Tokmak.

Nothing decisive, but nice. Thats a Ropucha landing ship, no doubt.

The Orcs shall not triumph as long as brave people stand up against their aggression.

This Black Sea Fleet wants to enforce the "Embargo" the USV threat is interrupting Russian plans to board grain ships that is decisive it must now hide further away to avoid attacks.

Can't remember exact sayings.

But this author wrote something about that warfare was always behind technical breakthrough on the battlefield.

I must say he's right. Lets begin with WWI-In the beginning they arranged the soldiers like they did in the American civil war. Quickly they learned to adapt the new things on the battlefield.

Which makes one wonder-How will future war be fought like on the battlefield-Will the warfare be outdated by new technology on the battlefield ?

Ukraine, I think it is the head of their secret service, warns of a false flag operation by which Russia wants to brign Belarus into the war. He says Russia plans to strike a Belarus facility and then blame Ukraine for the attack.

Same rumors that Belarus would invade Ukraine a couple of times in the past.

Yes.



Russian tv said that "Russia" (Putin's minions) had shot down all aerial drones, so at least not a direct lie.
