The most important thing to know about Kursk is the work of the fool Budanov. Fools have no strategy or tactics, only desires and boundless ambitions, using which the puppeteers twist the fools the way they like. Fools have no plans and depth of thought, only a stubborn belief in their own greatness and infallibility - what the fool is doing at the moment is right. And what will happen next, he does not care at all, so the question of the consequences of their actions surprises and offends such people.
But the main thing is that the question of price does not arise for fools at all (there is no value in someone else's life, only their own).
In fact, this is exactly what we see in the example of the operation in the Kursk region. The reasonable question - what is this next Krynki for, no one asks anymore.
Even if we assume that the Ukies will somehow be able to consolidate their positions on two tiny sections of our territory, then what? In exactly 24 hours our bombers will wipe them out. The Ukies cannot even advance in Northern Volchansk with the superior forces of six brigades to a depth of two streets, and then suddenly our idiotic “war correspondents” started talking about a battalion dash to a depth of 50 km to the Kursk Nuclear Power Plant. Well, definitely - either provocateurs or morons like Budanov.
Now to the point: on the ground, so far we see that ours have covered the Ukies at the stage of advance, that is, we were absolutely ready. The fact that after this, the Ukies, having lost the element of surprise, continued to advance under continuous fire - well, they are pathetic and stubborn, what can you expect from them? If they do not feel sorry for themselves, why should we worry? Budanov is destroying his best forces, so for this we can only say thank you to him, and once again thank God that we are not facing some sly-assed Dulles, but the GUR with Budanov.
It is also important to note that ours struck with Iskander. That is, even in this not the most active section of the front there is such a high-precision complex. This alone speaks of the power of the group covering our territory in this section. That is, ours, firstly, have deployed a good amount of launchers, and secondly, can quickly transfer them even to such relatively remote sections of the front.
Now, in order to finally understand the absurdity of the panic of our armchair war correspondents, let's take a little closer look at how the GUR is structured. This is a pure commercial franchise existing on the terms of project financing. At the turn of 2014-2015, the GUR was literally separated from the SBU with a fight, as its own clearing for feeding. Now they have to justify their existence and account for the money. The sponsors of the Ukropia have long lost faith in the GUR as a system, and therefore do not want to invest money on a regular basis, except for such media actions.
In short, Budanov has to act in order to beg for another money bag.
More than two months have passed since the last attack in Belgorod, and Budanov managed to gather new suicide bombers for a new project. Now he will dispose of them and run for the next financing. I emphasize that he must first destroy the people already gathered in the Russian meat grinder and only then, having accounted for these corpses, Budanov will receive the next money.
From a humanitarian point of view, this is monstrous, from our own military point of view, this is good. Budanov aimlessly destroys and undermines the best reserves of his country. Budanov is a continuous conveyor belt of death - no matter how much money you throw down his throat, there will never be enough corpses. Well, the Western masters, who are not much smarter than Budanov himself, apparently think that it is very effective to put down a couple of hundred idiots on a relatively quiet section of our border and thereby distract a couple of Russian divisions from the front. And they do not take into account at all that our strategists have long calculated such a course of events (after all, rule number three says - the fool is always right, he does not see the real facts).
Let me remind you that after Prigozhin's mutiny and attempts at similar attacks at the turn of 2022-2023, the forces of the Russian Guard were significantly increased and reinforced with heavy weapons.
In addition, several rapid response divisions (also armed with heavy weapons) appeared in the relevant FSB structures.
Also, this is not counting the special military group created at the end of 2023 as part of the announcement of an increase in the total number of troops - it is deployed on the border of the Voronezh-Kursk-Belgorod regions, and the Ukrops themselves nominally estimate it at 90-120 thousand bayonets.
Let me also remind you that now all types of weapons are included in the full-fledged military group, including aircraft and missiles. Having such a permanent barrier, ours, of course, will not withdraw combat-ready units from the front. Russia is ready with a large reserve for any attack on these borders.
And, finally, from a purely political point of view, against the backdrop of the West's constant whining about a ceasefire, escalation is very beneficial to Russia. Last time, after the idiot Budanov's attack on the Belgorod region, the Ukrops received the Northern Kharkov Front, where they had to concentrate almost fifty thousand of their troops to stop the advance of our ten-thousand-strong corps.
The consequence of the opening of the Kharkov Front was a new impetus for our advance in the Pokrovsk direction, a breakthrough of the Ugledar-Konstantinovka line, a breakthrough in the Kupyansk direction almost right up to the Oskol line, and, of course, the main success was the breakthrough of the Toretsk-New York line.
Now, one of the most discussed topics in the officer community is why we do not open hostilities in another direction; the Sumy region, for example, has long been asking for it.
Yesterday, the crazy Budanov gave us such a reason.
Here we need to discuss not how the Ukrops will attack further (don't forget, the reserves are gone), but how our command will use this move by the Ukrops.
Let me remind you that Vladimir Vladimirovich is considered a master of psychological judo - he always waits for the first move from his opponent, and then catches him in a counter-move. A meeting of the Security Council is scheduled for tomorrow - we will follow the game of the masters.
Excellent article, as always. But reading today about “bombing Ukies out of existence in 24 hours” clearly smacks of the underestimation of the enemy. No, I am not defending the panicked posts in TG or Military Summary channel, but AFU are a dangerous and experienced enemy, that we all should always keep in mind.
Exellent article from Marat, as always. Even I understand everything . Good translation too. Thank you.
