I am getting this one out before the "night shift".

The Fall | The Russians Pummel Every Airfield In Ukraine. Military Summary And Analysis 2023.10.16

"Hello my dear friends you're in the military of summary Channel and today we will discuss the situation in Ukraine on the 16th of October of 2023. Today we have a lot of very interesting updates so let's start."

"First we're going to start with Avdiivka area and we can say that at least the some phase or the first phase or has ended when talking about the Battle for this fortification. uh probably the Russians managed to achieve something, probably the Ukrainians lost something, but it's very difficult to understand what were the real purpose of the Russia attack in this area, what the Russians are planning to get, what the Russians manage to get and of course to understand this."

"And of course to understand this for example we got very interesting update from the Ukrainian sources and the ukrainians are saying that Mi intelligence MI6 the United Kingdom intelligence provided new data for to the president Zelensky and they're saying that the Russians are planning to change the tactic about Avdiivka. The things that we saw uh from 14th of October till uh 16th of October till today were something like um reconnaissance in force or reconnaissance in combat when the Russians were trying to understand whether it's even possible to start any offensive operation..."

Compared this to the previous days:
Oct 13: The Fall | The Noose Is Tightening | Ukrainian Forces Are Cut Off. Military Summary For 2023.10.13
The pre-fight press sounds pretty bad for Ukraine.
Oct 14: The Fighting Near Avdiivka Does Not Stop Even For A Second. Military Summary And Analysis 2023.10.14
Sounds like major offensive.
Oct 15: Oct 15: The Russians Achieved Success At Avdiivka, Synkivka, Verbove, Pryiutne. Military Summary 2023.10.15
That sounds like confirmation Russia had major victories and is on a roll.
Oct 16: The Russians Are Looking For Weak Points In The Defense Of The AFU. Military Summary For 2023.10.16

Huh? Wait a minute. Russia is looking for weak points in where Russia already broke through? How does Military Summary go from "it looks bad for Ukraine", to "this is a decisive attack", to "Russia is getting decisive victories" to "we don't know what's happening, but is the fault of the US and British that it happened?"

This is typical Russian information warfare tactics. As soon as Russian forces get out of the trench, flood social media with stories of overwhelming victory. These get picked up and spread by friendly social media and news channels (like the Hindustan Times).

When the truth gets out in the Western press, that Russia lost at the minimum, three Battalion Tactical Groups worth of combat vehicles, Russian Shill Inc (TM) gives its automatic response. It wasn't a major attack, it was a reconnaissance or probing, we don't know for sure, but whatever is happening the RU General staff is on in and it is definitely someone else's fault. At all times, flood social media and get in the last word.

The only people still buying into this are those who use Ukraine as a substitute for their own politics or the Russian web brigades and ольгинские тролли who are paid for it.

“I am getting this one out before the “night shift”.”

Yep, their misquotes do get tedious!
