Dear Bobby.

I watched the video carefully. And I do not understand why the convoy of trucks was damaged, and the asphalt of the road, nearby houses and their fences remained completely intact.

And now let's read the official Russian source of information.



Statement by Russian Defence Ministry

10.08.2024 (12:05)

The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation continue to repel the AFU attempt to invade the territory of the Russian Federation.
Over the 24 hours, the active actions of the Sever Group of Forces and arrived reserves, Army Aviation and artillery strikes thwarted the attempts of the enemy's mobile groups to get to the depth of the Russian territory near Ivashkovskoye, Malaya Loknya, and Olgovka.

Fire damage was inflicted on the AFU manpower and hardware near Nikolayevo-Daryino, Gusevo, Lyubimovka, Zeleniy Shliyakh, and Sverdlikovo.

Aviation and missile troops delivered strikes at the enemy's reserves on the territory of Sumy region.

Up to 15 Ukrainian troops were eliminated as a result of a strike by a missile equipped with a thermobaric warhead at a temporary deployment area of foreign mercenaries on the southern outskirts of Sudzha.

Over the past 24, the AFU losses have amounted to up to 175 Ukrainian troops and 36 units of hardware, including 10 tanks, three armoured personnel carriers, two infantry fighting vehicles, 21 armoured fighting vehicles, one motor vehicle, three field artillery howitzers, and one BM-21 Grad MLRS combat vehicle.

Since the beginning of hostilities in Kursk region, the AFU losses amounted to up to 1,120 Ukrainian troops, 140 units of hardware, including 22 tanks, 20 armoured personnel carriers, eight infantry fighting vehicles, 88 armoured fighting vehicles, 13 motor vehicles, two Buk-M1 self-propelled SAM systems, one BM-21 Grad MLRS combat vehicle, and six field artillery howitzers.

The operation to neutralise the AFU units is in progress.

Does anyone have a idea why they have attack this particular area of Russia?
answer : It must be a shock to Moscow to suddenly have thousands of refugees arrive by train to escape Ukraine.

Thankyou, all that makes sense, particularly buying time for f16 to become operational.

It seems a awful lot of resources Ukraine to waste just on a pr exercise.

It's day five now I believe and they are still advancing so who knows how it will end.

However, those weren't Russians from inside Russia. Big daddy Putin has left the building.

Kursk only exports to countries like Uzbekistan and Moldova. It should be annexed by Ukraine to develop Kyiv's security aspiration and F16 base.

Zelensky is invading because he wants to become the King of Russia.

It is a part of the packet. They also have to show military results to get more money from sponsors but will they be able to hold on the ground till negotiations start and at what price?

Now AFU moved in more troops so it is 5 brigades with maybe 10000 personnel all up. However they seem to use lots of armour.
