Wow, I had to go back and read as this was from February I believe haha.

Anyway, column in the open, without air superiority, is a giant mistake. And yes, theoretically you do exactly as you stated. Really the only way you can have tank columns in the open is with air supremacy, it is even risky if you only have superiority.

Russia certainly made big mistakes like this one early in the war. They seem to have learned from that (they should’ve known in the first place, but I digress). Now lines seem to have solidified and we are looking at artillery duels all up and down the line. Honestly with the roughly 200k that Russia brought to Ukraine, they must be at the extent of what they can take and hold.

Cross refernce to related thread on Darya Dugina, Tlozo's comment .

"...And information put out by Kyiv and uncovered by various pro-Ukraine sources disputes key parts of Russia’s narrative.

A spokesman for the Azov battalion told Ukrainian media that Natalia had never served with them - because there are no women soldiers in their ranks.

The source added that the ID card shown off by the FSB is actually for the National Guard, and would not be carried by an Azov soldier.

He said pencil marks on the ID show it was invalidated because the woman had married and changed her last name.

The soldier speculated that the invalid ID had been placed in archives of Ukraine’s national guard in Mariupol - a building Russia now occupies - and had been uncovered by their troops and manipulated for propaganda purposes.

Internet sleuths also claimed to have uncovered evidence that the picture on the ID had been manipulated..."

Why would the FSB take a manipulate a ID, put out a convienent cover story, unless they were involved? Or is this sort of corruption Standard Operating Procedure for the FSB?

Jake Broe:
Ukraine Will Have Air Superiority by January
Ukrainian pilots have been training at a secret location with virtual reality simulators for the A10 Thunderbolt Warthog plane. The United States has announced plans to train Ukrainian pilots on the F-16, but not the A10. Can Ukraine achieve air superiority over Russia by January?

Russia Can No Longer Advance in Ukraine
Russia announced their “operational pause” almost two months ago. We mark the 6th month anniversary of this war with Ukraine’s Independence Day and Russia has been completely stalled out for a third of this time now. Can Russia no longer advance due to the devastation of their supply lines?

Poland supplied Russia with counterfeit parts for landing ships

“The March shelling of Russian landing ships in Berdyansk revealed the Polish vile dirty trick of 2019.

“Caesar Kunikov” and “Novocherkassk” suffered after the March shelling of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the port of Berdyansk, Zaporozhye region. They were sent to repair - did not work. It's because of the defective injectors. And now it won't work to buy new ones - Poland has imposed sanctions. There are 12 more ships of this type in the Russian fleet, and defective Eastern European parts may also be in them.”

remember this;

1941, December 19, Hitler takes command of the German army
In a major shake-up of the military high command, Adolf Hitler assumes the position of commander in chief of the German army.

But Hitler refused to accept this notion. He began removing officers from their command. General Fedor von Bock, who had been suffering severe stomach pains and who on December 1 had complained to Halder that he was no longer able to “operate” with his debilitated troops, was replaced by General Hans von Kluge, whose own 4th Army had been pushed into permanent retreat from Moscow. General Karl von Runstedt was relieved of the southern armies because he had retreated from Rostov. Hitler clearly did not believe in giving back captured territory, so in the biggest shake-up of all, he declared himself commander in chief of the army. He would train it “in a National Socialist way”—that is, by personal fiat. He would compose the strategies and the officers would dance to his tune.
