Ukraine’s Kursk Invasion Quick Update - Day 4
24 years ago this month, Russia suffered another “Kursk” disaster. This one is much worse.
Welcome back, друзі.
It’s been a busy week. Here’s where we’re at with Ukraine’s Kursk invasion on Friday, August 9.
In case you need a refresher, Ukraine caught Russia completely by surprise and performed a well-coordinated, strategically sound attack on Russian territory with at least two full brigades (likely four) and special operations units.
The Russian military announced it was sending troops and armored vehicles to try to repel the attack.
Russian state TV is doing its best to show off long lines of military trucks loaded with heavy guns and tanks, as if to say, “Don’t worry, we’ve got this,” even though it’s pretty clear that they did not see this coming.
But wait… it gets better! The Russian journalists transmitted the coordinates where they saw the Russian reinforcements publicly!
Russian journalists need a crash course in OPSEC.
Remember, there’s no better ally than a stupid enemy.
In reality, their lack of an organized response this whole week implies ongoing massive disorganization within Russian ranks.
