The Ukrainian air assault forces finally have deployed their most powerful unit. The 2,000-person 82nd Air Assault Brigade, which is stacked with Marder and Stryker fighting vehicles and Challenger 2 tanks, rolled into action around Robotyne, in southern Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhia Oblast, apparently in the last few days.
The deployment is good and bad news for Kyiv’s long-anticipated counteroffensive, which kicked off with a series of coordinated assaults across southern and eastern Ukraine starting on June 4.

Hanna Maliar, a deputy Ukrainian defence minister, said: “The price of the headlines about where the 82nd brigade was moved in the south is five airstrikes on the brigade per day.”
Nice play, David Axe!

We should axe David Axe for even more intelligence on the deployment of frontline AFU military units...

Charge of the light brigade?

Surely they’d have decent anti-air capabilities ...

This reminds me of Hitler’s Panzer reserves that never amounted to anything during D-Day.

The headlines of Ukraine fighting back are like the headlines of the Dims putting Trump in prison.
Each time we're meant to believe that this time their side is going to be successful. LOL

I have heard they refused to fight until they were guaranteed air support.

Interesting.
Denys Davydov is coming out of retirement in Switzerland to be their personal air cover.

Russia now has a real war incentive; grind these last Ukes into Grade A 🍔 and get on home.

Reminds me of when the lamestream media were hyping Saddam’s Republican Guard as if they were 10 feet tall.

If Trump is elected, this ridiculous waste of money and blood will miraculously find its way to a truce.
Odd that up to this point, no national leader of any standing or heft has even tried to negotiate a halt to the fighting.
The fact that it hasn't stopped leaves the unmistakeable impression that it is nothing but a proxy war (Biden's proxy war).

Instead of Rapin Bill's advice - "put some ice on it", we can have Climate Czar John Heinz-Kerry dish out some
bon mots.
"Put some ketchup on it."

They killed JFK to continue a war. They would do the same to Trump.
