Good one. Thankyou. Lot of work still needs to be done isn't there? One third of Donetsk still occupied. Maybe more. We need Slovyansk and Kramatorsk. The population there would help?
It is not very encouraging. It is not disheartening but I don't think you can say it is wildly encouraging.
By ALL accounts (their disinformation, our MSM, our alt-media, all the pundits) Kiev forces are worn down to nearly nothing. Right? Everyone says this. Everyone. Or am I wrong? I think everyone.
An army should be three 'armies'. Is the truth. Right?
One in the front line.
One behind it supplying replacements, rotation etc.
One in reserve for use in exploiting breakthroughs in attack and in repelling massive invasion.
We are told Kiev has lost ALL of this.
Even the front line, we are told, is not fully manned.
So we have an army that is less than one third of what it should be.
I would expect us to be walking through such an army wherever we want to, just the way they walked through Kursk because it was 'lightly defended' or the Kharkiv attack which succeeded because 'it was lightly defended'.
But we are not walking through anything. We are fighting hard for every gain.
And we still have not cleared Kursk or Donetsk.
Yes, sure, the enemy brought up all its best forces to Kursk and Donetsk to make it a hard fight.
But the whole point is that should have left tissue paper thin forces in other places.
Places where we should be able to roll through and rampage about at will.
Yes, maybe places we don't want to occupy. Places by definition where there's not many forces so we don't succeed in killing many. Places that would perhaps be indefensible or not worth it or even would be a trap.
No matter. The PR and morale gain of ripping holes through their defenses wherever and whenever we wish would be immense. Immense.
And I am pretty sure the generals know this. But they are not doing it. Why?
I don't know.
But it looks like maybe we have been sold a propaganda coup and they are nothing like as depleted as is claimed. Nothing like it. Every captured soldier tells us what we want to hear, not what the truth is.
It's either that or we simply can't fight for some reason. Have a bad army. With poor communications, poor generals. Remember that certainly was the case wasn't it?
Just like Kiev romped through Kursk we should be romping through places here and there, everywhere, on this 1000km front line.
If it is true about the state of the Kiev forces then we have to ask ourselves - how would we be going if they were at full strength? Looks like they'd walk straight through us doesn't it?
Feel free to join up and run through the minefields and layered defences NATO has been building since 2015.
Destroying their reserves is as important, even more so than territorial gain. Like the Stock Market crash of 2008, the bubble bursts and the walls come tumbling down, much like building 7 on 9/11.
Anyone hanging around Donetsk at this juncture is highly likely awaiting the arrival of the Russian Armed Forces. The Nazis know this and will be setting up their defences accordingly, making liberation much more complicated.
If the SMO advanced to say Poland, Russia would have greater flexibility. LOL

What do you think?

I think you miss the point. Perhaps a re-read?

Are there any works out there that discuss actual, not NATO propaganda, operations by the more specialized Russian forces?
Other than here, you can try if you haven't already, Simplicius The Thinker.
