What do you mean “in terms of information”? Bad intelligence? Or are you talking about public communication?

Another great achievement of master strategist Putin has been forcing Ukraine to create the most battle hardened UAV force on the planet, meaning that they have something to offer NATO that nobody else has.

That is a long way behind the front line. I wonder what was used to hit that, something with a range of about 500km. Either that or it was sabotage.

My take away from that thread is entirely in first words (with emphasis added):
As our troops advance towards the primary line of defense south of Staromlynivka, whether they proceed directly or choose to breach the line elsewhere…
I have no relevant military experience, but oddly did have experience with an enemy defence of a fortified barrier blocking the entrance from St Kilda Road to the US Consulate in Commercial Road Praharan for the annual “Independence Day” celebrations on July 4 1969.
The previous July 4 had the first major Vietnam war riot in Australia, complete with riot trials so this time the police were totally prepared with many busloads and lots of horses manning the barricades.
So were the protestors prepared, with non-military groups armed only with flags on unusually thick flagpoles, using runners for C2 and no training in combined arms operations let alone breaching barricades but some experience in crowd control and rescue operations to prevent arrests.
So we marched straight towards the barricades, just like the Ukrainian armed forces appear to be doing. We weren’t singing a soldier’s song but we did successfully persuade the enemy that we were coming straight through them just as the Ukrainians are doing.
So successfully that when we organized the crowd to continue straight past the turn off and run further down St Kilda road to hit the South African consulate for an anti-apartheid protest the police were still packing up their barricades and could not stop it.
They thought it was completely unfair for a Vietnam protest to become an anti-apartheid protest without notifying them.
The Ukrainians have tanks and we didn’t. But still, I am predisposed to expect them to suddenly head somewhere unexpected. East looks unexpected.

Thanks GS. Now got Basic so I’m all set.
Long story short, usual shenanigans. Upgraded my system and wiped the saved password for BB Taojas account. Thought I had it written down somewhere but couldn’t find it. BB system doesn’t send PW reset emails so estarted a new account with a new name and good to go.
This photo of positive Girkin saw me through the lean times gave me the courage to move ever forward

Parts 1-3 of really fascinating Prigozhin interview were posted earlier. Now got two more parts.
Part 4 wants firing squads for leadership and deserters. Expects they will eventually happen but only after major further defeats. 8’21"
Odd shout out to leading state TV propagandist at the end:
Volodya Solovyov is a great guy, but he can’t go beyond the bounds of his authority, so he is obligated to say what he says on the program.
Part 5 wants top leadership on spikes but Putin won’t do it. Gives convincing description of total corruption and total incompetence. Public not mobilized due to lying propaganda. Presumably to be miraculously fixed by putting him in charge of firing squads - but he really does make the case persuasively and much more passionately than liberals with the same diagnosis. 10’07"
I think he will be do quite well in the looming competition among fascists - and better armed than the others.
But sheds no light on “what FSB doing”. So also unclear what are his actual relations with Putin, Strelkov and people/creatures like Solovyov.
Only 1 more part to go.
“Pro-Putin politician Alexander Kolodich stabbed and killed by his yard worker in his mansion in Moscow.”
Never trust the pool cleaner…

Valerii Markus, Staff Sergeant of the 47th Mechanized Brigade, the one that suffered losses of Leopard-2A’s and Bradley’s IFVs south of Mala Tokmachka, has a few things to say. Really worth listening

However, not seeing how the attack unfolded and what was the support and synchronization employed, it’s hard to say if they executed it well.
Sometimes you get lucky and sometimes the enemy does.

I also had problems logging on about the same time you did. There is some problem with the discourse system and how it reacts with some browsers.
Starting a new account explains why you have “basic” status.

This story would make an interesting film script. Rich French actor and businessman who owns Vineyards around the world starts kissing dictator ass and takes citizenship for the tax breaks. Later the dictator starts a war and the actor now wants refugee status back in his country of birth.
