Some morning briefs...
"Yesterday was a happy day. Chomping on logistics, chomping a few parcels of land. I was a tad busy in Crimea, took out a couple of the last radars. Massaged a couple of smaller bridges.
The Russian bathing season is over, and Russians are now taking the hint and are trundling across the bridge while it still exists. Voenkors (Russian War bloggers) are going "Ukraine is gonna do an amphibeous assault, and that will be Crimea gone..." Their own propagandists are now saying that Crimea is toast.
They are also seeing things unfolding as we build up forces etcetera, nothing can be done in secret in this war. Especially not building up storming forces (opposite Kinburn)
Russia has ordered childrens camps and children in general to leave Crimea. It is truly dystopian now.
And it doesn't help them that Putin is pulling almost all of the remaining AD to Moscow now. Last night we basically flew unopposed over Crimea, even the bridge is largely unguarded at this point."
"More broadly 637 pieces of logistics equipment, ranging from Buhankas to full on lorries, boofed in the last 24 hour time period.... and all on video. That's across the whole front. Insane number."
I asked about the semi-conductor plant in Voronezh and the Moscow satellite hub ... how problematic they would be for Russia.
"Voronezh will lonterm be problematic for Russia. They can't get the equipment that was in the plant.
Satelite hub is medium term problematic, but Russia can switch over to another facility.
But now that the AD is mostly gone from the non-Moscow defense industries, we will go after a lot of factories with Flamingos."
Lastly, he hinted that the pace on the N.E end of the giant pincer will likely pick up very soon.

I suppose it depends how long it takes for someone to remove the bunker dwarf. But the direction of travel is pretty clear now, even to those who always maintained that Ukraine had no cards and no chance. A lot of Russians will be going home from Crimea to their communities with a very different picture of the situation from that which they had just a few weeks ago.
