In the 16 days since Kiev's surprise incursion into Kursk, defended only by border guards and territorial defence units, NOT combat troops, Russian troops have added 4,400 UA troops and 461 armoured vehicles to the demilitarised scoreboard - just in the Kursk area alone.
Added to the 2,060 troops 'demilitarised' across the whole SMO yesterday, where there ARE combat troops, he Russian Army seems to be doing very well indeed!
It is the Ukraine Army that is "not doing very well"!
Reality check:

In the 16 days since Kiev's 'surprise' incursion into Kursk, defended only by border guards and territorial defence units, NOT combat troops, Russian troops have added 4,700 UA troops and 484 armoured vehicles to the demilitarised scoreboard - just in the Kursk area alone.
Added to the 2,125 troops 'demilitarised' across the whole SMO yesterday, where there ARE combat troops, The Russian Army seems to be doing very well indeed!
Tomorrow, the weekly scoreboard will likely show 14,000 UA troops demilitarised in the SMO and 5,000 in Kursk with 500 UA armoured vehicles destroyed.
Kursk has been a windfall bonus for Russia. How long can the Ukrainian Army survive this loss rate?
