DG, Here's your candy coating.

Footage from cam mounted on UA Brad in the middle of that chopped up mech company. Reckless 25mm, mine strike, multi colored smokescreen attempt, Brad launched smokescreen, crunchies trying to gtfo. Parts 1 and 2 on twitter, full vid on reddit, 4 minutes of puckered b-hole.

I don't know how may brigades Ukraine has in reserve for this offensive but a Russian mil-blogger indicates there are 10 dedicated to the Zap. Oblast sector alone. There also seems to be some concern creeping through the Russian info-space at the number of uncomitted UA units poised to engage and the fact that Russian units have had difficulting resisting Ukrainian pressure thus far. When Russia perceives a UA breakthrough is immenant or in progress they will have little choice but to counter with fixed wing and rotary CAS sorties, something they haven't done on any appreciable scale since the early days of the invasion.

Nope.

What happened when Prigozhin said similar stuff here recently?

(Kiev sent more stuff (exactly when and where Prigozhin wanted) to be destroyed)

That "more stuff Kiev sent to be destroyed" is currently making steady progress enveloping Bakhmut. As for what your brotatoe said, tell him to buy a geiger counter and book only 1st floor hotel rooms.

Or a nuke, so there is that.

Consider the possibility destroying the Kakhovka dam was, in part, Putin's way of gauging the tolerance of The West for nuclear scale destruction. Failure to respond in a way Putin considers painful would amount to tacit acceptance of nuke employment.

Reports of Russian casualties as they 'withdraw through their own minefields' driven back by Ukraine's counteroffensive, UK intel says

Good real time intel from Willy. Sharp photos of the leopard tanks trashed etc, a good portion appear recoverable, how one sided the info is currently (Ukes staying quiet while Russians amping up noise), insider report from a commander on western failures for Ukes to succeed, etc. It does seem like we (west/US/NATO) send just enough gear to be a real PITA for the Russians, not enough and type, to win decisively.

I have to say, it's really weird watching videos of the Brads going at it. I rode around in a few of those for several years, and it's a bit disconcerting seeing them taking hits like that. On the plus side, the troops seem to be getting out OK, which is more than I ever expected when riding in one, but it's still weird. The mine strike especially so, since on a trip to NTC, my entire company pushed through a simulated minefield. Needless to say, it did not go well for us.

The Russian defenses are not a simulation.

Multiple lines of defenses...
