" The supreme art of the commander is to ensure that the reserves (of the enemy - ed.) do not go where the direction of our main attack will be, mislead the enemy ... They touched these reserves. Even the enemy reserves have already gone north from the Kherson direction ... The enemy is still he doesn't know where the direction of the main attack will be, no matter what he says there... He doesn't know, because we don't know yet, we haven't decided yet. And they have already touched the reserve. This is a very dangerous move on their part... At some point "crunches (Russian defense - ed.), breaks seriously. There will be such a normal breakthrough. We will expand, secure the flanks, and brigades will go there, which will develop operational success.that Ukraine has touched its strategic reserves, ours have not yet entered the battle ... When we go into a breakthrough, then it will be "fun" , "stated the ex-adviser.

I've seen these same Russian exercises before years ago, and it is the Russian MoD we're talking about, so I'm hoping another source will confirm if this is new or some exercise with a boat loaded with tannerite.

Will sandy soil dry out fast?

This is an area I am not familiar with.
This why I was asking for up stream picture the other day. Its very difficult to find old historic pictures of the area when you cannot read the language. If we can find the pre dam pictures it may give us a good idea of what the ground is.

As far as drying the answer is it depends. What commonly happens from what I have experienced from droughts and lakes it the top of the silt gets dry and forms a crust. Once you break through that crust its deep nasty mud.

Saw an animated tweet earlier that showed how the receding water was exposing the historic riverbed. It appeared from the animation to be fairly narrow and clearly defined track along the northern/right bank of the reservoir.

It really is going to depend on several things that I haven't seen yet.  Having been stuck a few times and done some recovery in drought stricken lake beds conditions can vary greatly in a smallish area.

Depending on the sand, water drainage will compact to around 90 psi. With that said, it is still unstable, so large aggregate would be needed.

They probably are. The footage would likely reveal things that neither of them want to talk about though.

I wonder how cheaply those boats are made? My feeling is that they have a bunch of them, but I have nothing at all to back that up.

It sounds like an attempted propaganda stunt by Russia. Trying to find a few UA POW's that have the most negative feelings about being conscripted and sent to fight and are willing to badmouth the UA. Basically like the filthy NVA always desperately trying to get shot-down US pilots to confess to fake crimes and disparage the US war efforts. It's old fascist-commie bullshit.

I'm not sure about Hungary's eagerness to participate in the scheme. Maybe they think they are playing the middle again? Russia certainly chose Hungary to further put a wedge between them and NATO. I really REALLY wish Hungary would quit this middle road bullshit since EVERYONE hates them as a result.

Nobody liked us during WWII also.

When Barbarossa started, Hitler asked Horthy many times to participate and he refused due to logistics and the sorry state of the Royal Hungarian Army.

And then the bombing of Kassa happened and out of the blue sadly Hungary declared war on the USSR.

Being a small country, we are easy to be manipulated sadly.

The various articles in Hungary states that the POW exchange was out of the ordinary and it was Russia that requested it and then just pressed it upon Hungary out of the blue.

I still think this whole thing is fucked up and a scam. All of it and sadly Hungary fell for it.

If they are stupid enough to invite the Chinese military within their borders, they should not be surprised if they decide to stay for "peacekeeping". Just like how Soviet troops decided to remain in Eastern Europe after WW2. Talk about shooting your own foot.

Saw an animated tweet earlier that showed how the receding water was exposing the historic riverbed. It appeared from the animation to be fairly narrow and clearly defined track along the northern/right bank of the reservoir.

The dam has blocked the flow of the water for many decades. Wherever a river slows down, there will be sediment. Even if historically the bottom was solid or rocky, there is likely mud on top of it now. That said, I would not discount NATO's capability to build a long pontoon bridge over muddy terrain. Imagine if Ukraine managed to pull off a surprise crossing after all the Russian troops were withdrawn from the area.

Russian commander admitting to "huge" losses.  What a day this is going to be.

The way that’s worded, is it huge Russian or Ukrainian losses? I can see him wanting to emphasize either way.
