ISW assessment for October 12th.

https://www.understandingwar.org/backgrounder/russian-offensive-campaign-assessment-october-12

Russian forces may have brought Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC)-affiliated personnel to occupied areas in Ukraine to train Russian troops in the use of Shahed-136 drones. The Ukrainian Resistance Center reported on October 12 that Russian forces brought an unspecified number of Iranian instructors to Dzankoi in Crimea and Zalizniy Port and Hladivtsi in Kherson Oblast to teach Russian forces how to use Shahed-136 attack drones.[4] The Resistance Center stated that the Iranian instructors directly control the launch of drones on civilian targets in Ukraine, including in Mykolaiv and Odesa oblasts.[5] The IRGC is notably the primary operator of Iran‘s drone inventory, so these Iranian instructors are likely IRGC or IRGC-affiliated personnel.[6]

The video and claims "you can see the truck intact at the same time you can see the explosion happen" I believe are as a result of low quality video and the refresh rate of the screen and the explosion happening so quickly.
But I'm not an expert on this it's just something I remember hearing about a video of a different explosion.

I'm wondering what the size and quality of those DT's are.  I'm thinking cover the assault (after crushing their artillery batteries with accurate counter-battery) with artillery on the trenches, smoke the space between the trench line and the obstacles, hit the 1st lines of obstacles with MICLIC (are they still in inventory?) (Assuming they are a big enough boom to move/destroy the DT's), roll through the gaps with plow and roller tanks, drop some armored bridges and plow gaps into the obstacle trenches, and then you are in amongst the crunchies. Bring mounted infantry along to clear down the trenchlines.  I'd want a shit ton of arty falling on the Orc's heads to keep the ATGM's from popping out of that smoke though.  

I'd want a couple of rehearsals for the guys doing it too before going live.

This could be the second round.   After the initial delivery of the Shahed drones, there was a strike that was said to have killed Iranian advisors that were training the Russian units how to use them.  The fact that the Ukrainian govt mentions the three towns that these advisors are in means they are watching who is involved intensely and where they move.

I have an open mind.  But part of the circumstantial argument for a truck bomb is the destruction of the fuel train at the same time.  That was either intentional or astronomically good luck and my bet is on intentional.
What is the likelihood that could be achieved via ballistic missile?

Sanctions? For an abstention? Really?

Look at all of the votes on this recent Ukraine measure (setting aside it is the useless and ineffectual UN for one minute): the vote divide was all the "usual suspects" (DPRK and Iran and Venezuela)...and then all the Central/South American and African countries that rely on grain exports to feed themselves.

And let's not fool ourselves about the unity or homogeneity of a country the size of India: the people who are grabbing our H1B visas are among their best, but there are millions of unwashed masses that their home political class is worried about. That's unkind and unfair and it sucks, but...that's demographics and politics.

Some of you dudes need to re-calibrate your concept of foreign aid (aka, "wasting money on foreign shitholes", which it often is): why would we even need to build a wall if Nicaragua or Guatemala weren't open-air prisons?

You can send soldiers to keep a lid on things, you're just not going to want to look very closely at how those sausages are made.

HOWEVER: if you can't see how the Ukrainian people have a different situation and mentality, then I don't know what to tell you. I think they have shown themselves to be Western-oriented and upright people, harking back to the kind of attitudes we admired during the Battle of Britain and D-Day.

I have been lurking this thread for the past ~2750 pages or so, and finally caught up to everything tonight.  A few thoughts, for anyone who cares about my .02:

- I have had my paradigm completely rattled by this entire conflict.  I find myself agreeing with hipster liberal college kids who I probably have nothing else in common with as far as core values, and I find myself struck on an almost daily basis by the incredibly bad takes from people I used to hold some level of respect for in popular media or politics.  That has been a real lesson for me.

- Big thank you to people who are trawling social media for the killer primary/secondary sources on this conflict.  This is one of the greatest Internet forum threads I’ve ever followed because of you all.

- I have no idea where this conflict is going, and that is scary as hell.  For the most part, a lot of the shooting conflicts of my lifetime have been pretty contained, but this is so ridiculously volatile on a macro scale.  I wish we had better leaders in the west to see this through to an end.  Not that I disagree with the west’s approach so far - I think mostly all the right decisions are being made- but I have no confidence in Biden et al to take the reigns if this gets truly out of control.

- The world needs to begin working on denuclearization now or in the near future, and it needs to start with Russia.  Bad actors like Putin cannot be allowed to hold the world hostage because they hold nuclear capabilities.  This conflict, along with many that precede it and many that will follow it, are the result of allowing that threat to persist.  If there is going to be a peaceful end to this conflict, that has to be a part of it.  No debate can be had otherwise IMO.

Anyway, have a good night.

The method to create nukes is known and it isn't that difficult. The cat is out of the bag. The best we can do is keep a large enough deterrent and develop effective counter-measures while trying to restrict proliferation to countries that aren't batshit crazy (hence all the focus on Iran and North Korea).

Especially for a nation which has nuclear reactors for electrical power, and at least a 1940s-era manufacturing and technological base, nuclear weapons are impossible to prevent. Only their national will can prevent a nation with those basics from going nuclear.

There are a dozen or so countries with the materials, expertise and technological proficiency to go nuclear over the space of a month or two if they so chose.

I'm a few pages behind and will get more behind this weekend at cola...

1. I can't find anything in the chemical weapons treaty, Hague convention, etc, about making enemy troops cold. In the depths of winter, can Ukraine drone/mortar yeet dewar flasks of liquid nitrogen at a bunker?  I don't think nitrogen counts as a asphyxiant weapon, being the majority of regular atmospheric air.  The Russians are far too proud of general winter, make them cold.

2. I'm a mediocre strategic thinker, but Ukraine has a pile of S300s, the Russians are using them as shitty surface to surface missiles...why can't Ukraine send their S300s after the Kerch bridge repair operation and make it hot for the crane crews.
