Kiev forces launched a surprise attack on Kursk last August, relying mainly on foreign mercenaries and Western-made weapons.
Since the start of the attack, at least 56 Russian civilians have been killed and more than 266 others have been wounded. Moreover, the attack displaced more than 144,000 civilians. The fate of some 2,000 others who lived in areas attacked by Kiev forces remain unknown.
The Russian military launched a counter-attack in Kursk earlier this month. So far, nearly a dozen settlements have been reportedly liberated.
According to the Russian MoD, since the start of the battle in Kursk Kiev forces have lost 18,560 troops, 133 tanks, 64 infantry fighting vehicles, 97 armored personnel carriers, 850 armored fighting vehicles, 550 motor vehicles, 146 artillery guns, 32 launchers, including eight American-made HIMARS and six MLRS systems, eight air defense systems, five transport-loading vehicles, 38 electronic warfare stations, nine counter-battery radars, two aerial radars, 18 engineering vehicles, including 11 counter obstacle vehicles, one UR-77 mine clearing vehicle and one armored recovery vehicle.

maybe the russian mod can explain to curious readers why ukrops are present in kursk in the first place, more then month after invasion. and the second question is very easy as well. in the age of satellites, drones and electronic warfare, some russian asshole (gerasimov) overlooked 10.000 ukraine soldiers and hundreds of vehicles gathered on borders , ready to invade kursk. what mod did to punish that particular asshole ? nothing.
and as for as the punishment for that particular asshole gerasimov, take please into account that some 20.000 russian soldiers were killed or captured in kursk as they were caught off guard and 250.000 civilians lost their homes, now destroyed by the brave russian airforce and heavy artillery. i think in normal society it would be a treason. in russia only people like prygozhin are executed. gerasimov is safe as long as is loyal to his tzar majesty putin, regardless how big imbecile he is.
because nothing is more satisfactory that defeat nazis again in kursk, and ukrainians are trapped there and will be defeated
not to worry. soon obergruppenführer steiner will step in and solve everything, he will be ukraine’s vergeltungswaffen-3
we can bet. will russia liberate kursk before moscow is razed to the ground by long-range nato missiles,? crocus style? and this is not limited toi moscow, you can count st petersburg and any other city up to 1500 km from the frontlines. as you probably know, i am betting that moscow will be razed to the ground before brave russian military will be able to retake kursk..
there is much bigger picture to the waiting game, watch “canadian prepper” he alwas have good analysis that always comes truth -basicaly its about china, iran vs nato
raised to the ground by who you arsehole?
why does the usa continue to throw away money in the obama/biden rathole of ukraine based on a moronic plan from the british rand corp. globalism is not democracy but a kingdom for the rich at the expense of everyone.
