Australia will eventually be a Chinese colony.

“fairly predictable”
I’m not totally convince UA main thrust will be in the area we are seeing activity right now.
Main offensive force still being held in reserve.
Having only committed 25% of its Offensive force, the UA is in much better position than the almost completely isolated Russians with their compromised logistics.
Don’t forget the RFL still holds a bridgehead inside Russia and there are rumors of UA buildup in the Kharkiv region.
Most likely.
“Germany to Seal Tank Repair Hub Deal With Poland in Coming Days”
“Germany and Poland are closing in on a deal to set up a service hub to repair Leopard battle tanks and other equipment as Ukraine undertakes its counteroffensive against Russian forces, Berlin’s envoy said.
Talks should wrap up “in the coming days,” before the July 11-12 NATO summit in Vilnius, Thomas Bagger, Germany’s ambassador to Poland, told Bloomberg in Warsaw on Tuesday. The hub will be used to supply badly needed spare parts for the German-made equipment, he said. “
why is it that the ukes don’t make it part of their military doctrine to always have clouds drones over head of an advancing column. The drones would have three roles. The first would be to take out rus men and machines. The second would be to relay to uke artillery the coordinates of rus equipment and men. the third would be for reconnaissance. the fourth would be to take out rus drones
I have been reading that both ukes and the rus have been getting a lot of the drones lately.
I’m not totally convince UA main thrust will be in the area we are seeing activity right now.
......
that’s what I’m thinking too.
otherwise the ukes could break through in the south if they can force the rus to consume enough ammunition while starving them of further ammunition by attacks on ammo dumps and fuel in the rear.
yeah the argument for the current strategy is that the ukes will be able to shut off supply of rus food fuel and munitions in the rear. In their favor, their strikes do seem to be fairly accurate. but we don’t know for sure.
I don’t think that anyone should think of the RFL initiative as being anything more than a distraction.
The rus held uke lands east of Kharkiv look tempting. If the ukes could take them with a regiment. fine. but its not the main thing. and the ukes don’t want to devote too much resources there.
there is a political angle here. the ukes need big success not incremental gains to keep the money flowing from the west.
always have clouds drones over head of an advancing column.

Russia has the best EW systems in the world, bar none.
It doesn’t show in pictures and videos but the drones are subject to the most intense EW going. Swarms of drones would just end up crashing. They are only effective in the areas where the EW is not covering.
Pure speculation on your part.
Its a distraction with a distinction of showing that 100 guys can take many sq km of Russian soil without any resistance.
Russian reinforcements in Tokmak HIMARed a second time today just now.

K-300P Bastion-P / Bastion-E
Is the Mobile Coastal Defense Missile System from above the K-300 Bastion missiles below?

not sure what you are asking: above ... below?
Rephrase:
Is the Russian Mobile Coastal Defense Missile System armed with the K-300 Bastion missiles?
The K-300 Bastion is the Russian Mobile Coastal Defense Missile System
It worked in Kherson last year, though it took 3 months to wear them down. Taking a couple thousand sq kilometers of mostly small villages and farmland, and forcing Russia into their fixed defensive lines could put RUS in another untenable position, even if the defenses appear to "hold". But I suspect Ukraine needs to show some victories, and 2022's Kharkiv offensive served that purpose (and a lot more) during the Kherson offensive.
