Probably the most interesting quote is from Col, Roman Svitan “At the moment, the Ukrainian military is conducting “forming’ operations…’This is not the main blow yet.‘” (my bolding).
Another supportive article (still quotes the Washington Post).
His comments on the blast doors are worth reading.
Anyhow, this looks to me like a column moving up to the front lines that was interdicted by a strike.
@Militaryland.net shows the same video and places the “advance in the vicinity of Novopokrovka” There are at least 12 village named Novopokrovka in Ukraine, but, this is probably the one in Zaporizhzhia Oblast to the NNW of Melitipol.
Yeah that’s the one.
Looks like the ukranians are attacking in the most obvious direction, and using the western equipment… I wonder if it’s “too good to be true” and maybe itś a feint and the main attack may be elsewhere.
I realy hope these new attacks are meant to draw attention from the main effort, that will be directed eastward from them – toward Volnovakha, a major hub of rail & roads.
I guess that when the Leopards make an appearance, we can be sure.
Although the russians are seeing them everywhere 😀
Like Tigers during the Batte of the Bulge?
Yeah, but now they really appeared,there’s footage of the first one destroyed by the russians.
Have a link?
