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. One thing to look for is any improved/paved roads or railroad beds that were submersed when the reservoir was filled. Oftentimes, these can still be somewhat trafficable even after a century or so submersed. Sometimes, there are even bridge abutments or even entire bridges remaining. |

As someone posted much earlier, in an existential fight (big attacking smaller) not helping is taking a side. There is no middle. “Middle ground” is an excuse to allow the larger aggressor to keep attacking. If one wanted to be true middle ground they would use force to get combatants back to original start lines and secure that position. |

Heavy fighting continues on the Vremievsky ledge . Russian units were forced to retreat to the Makarovka-Urozhaynoye line. Despite the advance of the Russian assault groups to the north and the temporary return of control over Neskuchny , the Russian units failed to gain a foothold. ▪️Ukrainian formations accuse the Russian side of blowing up a dam across the Wet Yaly River: most likely, the explosion was carried out to slow down the advance of the enemy. ▪️The settlements of Makarovka and Urozhaynoye are under the control of Russian units: fighting is taking place on the near approaches to settlements. ▪️To the east, Ukrainian formations attempted to break through Russian positions at the Novodonetskoye-Novomayorskoye line, but were forced to retreat. 🔻Ukrainian formations are advancing in waves. Tactics usually come down to throwing assault units into the forest belt on armored vehicles: a foot offensive as part of squads and platoons with artillery support, and armored vehicles follow the infantry. We believe that the offensive potential of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is still far from being exhausted, and in the near future we should expect an increase in the onslaught. Due to bad weather, the situation on the Vremievsky ledge worsened: the ability to use drones and aviation was reduced. Russian units, leaving their positions in the destroyed frontline villages, were forced to retreat to the next line of defense. View Quote |
