KURSK: Gains & Losses

Another long one. That wasnt my intention, but it is what it is. Russia appears to be moving east along the Ukrainian border and FIRMS seems to confirm it. At the same time, it doesnt seem as if Russia has reached the border in Glushkovo as they claim.

Its your honesty that a lot of us are looking for. Im a recent sub for a reason. Keep doing your thing brother.

[@mygasisgood1675]

"If you make it through to the end ... whats wrong with you?" I about spit my tea all over my keyboard. Funny shit

[@therivalyn195]

Honesty comes above telling people what they want to hear. Keep it real 💛💙

[@cornyhorsecornhorsington7522]

One of the realest ones on KZbin my friend. I appreciate you.

[@lance2465]

It’s honestly impressive Russia can allocate 50-60k troops to Kursk while maintaining a long front line.

[@CharlesRyan-f3j]

I always considered myself a weirdo. Now, I am proud of it.😊 Thanks Skruffy, great work.

[@JoePanzer]

We like good news, we also want honesty. What to do. Gives some insight into that big ammo storage blown up. Will it make some difference on front lines? Thank you for keeping us updated.

[@Scottbayer]

You obviously know what you’re talking about with following this and you’re doing a great job. Keep up the good work and the information I believe this is helpful to Ukraine, and everybody to find a strategy to win.

True HONESTY IS THE BEST POLICY LOVE YOUR CHANNEL

[@cynthiaherbst3909]

Keep up the good work 😊

as famous Ryan (other youtuber says what dilemma is) Ukraine has dilemma with west: if they do well, people think they dont need as much aid and help. if they do badly, same risk applies either direction. if they just try to defend and survive (how much military aid is given, this is its capacity) they are not in news and also that is bad to get aid, as each package especially lethal, needs ever new approvals every time. Dilemma with losses is that yes it wakes people up to get more help faster as ukraine is suffering but russia has already caused losses and taken land which is very costly and difficult to get back especially with delays that always happen.

My current work schedule is a mess (came home from 5th 12 h shift this week maybe 20 min a go) and I honestly primarily get my Ukraine info from you and RFR because lack of time. I feel like you are realistic and not beating around the bush. You call them as you see them... And it's nice to see you cut through propaganda shite from both sides - that you're making IMO. Also, kudos for admitting that super high casualty list was a blunder. It gives you integrity. Keep up the good work!

[@Scottbayer]

I respect the truth and I’m following you for the truth? I think what most are searching for is a positive answer to the problems that are presented to Ukraine. If you have suggestions that would be great.

[@renekton1237]

Do you want know truth and what happened in Ukraine? I can send you some videos what zelensky do to ukranian people

[@OldSylvan]

Ty for the work you do! I have a question? - How much percentage is estimated that the Tver arsenal represented of the total Russian munitions?

[@dka618]

thank you!

[@cz1589]

Long but you sound o.k at 1.4 x speed as well ;-) Do you know the The Black Birds OSINT Map ? Not sure if its worth it

[@harold22774]

10 months ago Greg Terry a pastor who delivers aid to the front liner.said that Ukraine had ,14 divisions in reserve Of which 10 of those divisions had no equipment whatsoever. So your analysis on that is Spot on As to map's Andrew Perpetua is far more reliable than isw maps as a side note Andrew was the only person to really criticise Ukraine's summer offensive when it started saying it was a really stupid idea

[@harold22774]

I can't edit on my phone for some reason.but I meant last year's summer offensive

[@effexon]

how's this maneuver warfare when rasputitsa is roughly 1month away.... CV90 may fare but supply trucks would still get easily stuck in mud slowing operations.

[@fredyyfredfreddy]

I am a reject

[@caaaaaaammmmmm]

Your videos are great, there will always be the odd upset comment just ignore it

[@peterlaurie1247]

So the Russian army is getting bigger and the active front is getting longer. We know the US isn't going to help, but what is Europe going to do about this?

[@darknesswerewolf470]

Tell it like it is brother

[@sterrre1]

A couple days ago Ukraine Matters said to watch out for people who seem to flip flop on negative and positive messages. Shortly after that you did flip flop on the situation on the ground without really voicing the main positive about the Kursk incursion and that is where the critique comes from. So the main positive of Kursk is that the battle is in Russia instead of Ukraine. The 2nd positive is that Russia has gathered 60 thousand troops in Kursk, weakening other areas. So even with tactical retreats this us a large positive for Ukraine. Now, where did these russian troops come from? By forcing Russia to deploy and fix them in Kursk this will help shape future operations into Ukraines favor. Don't speculate on those however until after the fact. The big picture is very positive for Ukraine.

[@SkruffyTalez_TheWarzone]

Flip flop? When have I flip flopped?

[@sterrre1]

​@@SkruffyTalez_TheWarzonego back 5 days and look at your video thumbnails. You have 2 videos that paint a very positive situation for Ukraine, followed by 2 negative ones, then 2 more positive videos.

[@SkruffyTalez_TheWarzone]

​@@sterrre1ummm... I have made videos that point out Ukraines advances and the push into Glushkovo. Somewhere along the line, Russia began pushing back. I dont control that. That is how things are playing out IRL. One day Ukraine was on top, then Russia countered, then Ukraine moved into Glushkovo. Im sorry, but I cant control events in Ukraine. If Ukraine makes a good push one day and Russia does it the day after, my videos will point that out. Its called reality.

[@Shankar224]

because you are stupid to believe everything Zelensky says. the only person claiming that Russia diverted 40,000 troops to kursk is Zelensky. How convenient

[@ВалентинПузыня]

Забавно наблюдать как ты пытаешься выжать перемогу из зрады))) Твое вот вот возьмут... уже 6 дней никак не случится... А даже если возьму... то что случится? а ничего. Придется дальше ползти по полям, под обстрелами и атаками дронов. Сколько там у всу возле Веселого? 1-2 бригады? Те поля никто не контролирует... всу пытаются прорываться, а русские накрывают их артиллерией и дронами... Что касается русских... А что если русские пойдут не на Свердликово, а куда-нибудь в сторону Юнакиевки?

[@ВалентинПузыня]

Ты дурачок? Это всу все больше войск перебрасывает в Курскую область...(хотя там такая чехарда... по перебросят, то выведут, то поменяют "шило на мыло") а русские продвигаются практически на всех направлениях. Вот с чего русским перебрасывать войска в Курскую область? Даже если всу каким-то чудом возьмут Глушково... Что изменится?Ты реально считаешь, что русские испытывают неописуемую боль от осознания того что всу оккупируют какую-то деревню? Ты считаешь что русские все бросят и побегут их оттуда выбивать? Да пусть сидят... могут там пока коз пасти... А русские заберут Угледар, Курахово, Великую Новоселовку, Селидово и начнут обход Покровска. Разрежут Купянско-Лиманский фронт и начнут его подъедать. Заберут Торецк. Охватят Часов Яр. Подойдут к Константиновке. Что касается снарядов в 25-м году... Нужно спрашивать не про то, будут ли снаряды у русских... они точно будут... и свои мощности есть и лицензию Северной Корее передали. А вот сможет ли нато обеспечить всу? Как там чешская инициатива? На сколько удалось западу расширить производство боеприпасов? Как там с заводами по производству пороха? Если ты так болеешь за всу, тебе следовало бы поинтересоваться этими вопросами в первую очередь... И что будет с поставками, когда на Ближнем Востоке полыхнет? Чтобы анализировать ситуацию, не нужно быть чьим-то болельщиком. Нужно смотреть на происходящее как на матч команд третьей лиги, до которых тебе нет никакого дела. Иначе эмоции будут тебя подводить. Нельзя смотреть на ситуацию только с одной стороны.

[@ThomasNemo-r9d]

Yeah, give us the news, no matter how it hurts.
