Regarding to the rules russia tries to set, this means that the whole Kursk Oblast is now Ukrainian heartland and can be annexed. On a more serious note, my best, partly educated guess for the why would be that it was "just" a raid. A daring raid, as British WW2 historians might say. They showed that they can still attack, did a lot of damage as it seems and probably planted a lot of worry in a lot of russian minds. And I figure it can have a small impact on Ukrainian morale. It also brings Ukraine in the news cycle again, with positive news even. The only thing I find a tiny bit odd is that it was regular AFU troops and not on of the segments purpose build for doing border raids into russia.

While many of us may have heard about this incursion by Ukraine, there was not hard facts, and the detailed information we're accustomed to we get from your reports. The downing of a possible three helicopters is a significant take here along with the other destroyed battlefield vehicles along with captured enemy personnel. I am not of the belief that this incursion is for the purpose of taking, and holding this area either. I think it serves three purposes however. One being a clipping of nearby enemy assets for protection of Kharkiv. Two, perhaps a flushing out of more air defense systems along with other recon purposes. Three, creating a possible enemy troop displacement, and battlefront chaos. In any event, the incursion was certainly a surprise, and definitely caught the Russians off guard.

I wonder when the russians get tired of "winning" 😂!?

Any Russian offensive in the Sumy area would almost assuredly need to be supplied through Sudzha. It is also the Russian terminus of the "Brotherhood" natural gas pipeline which would partially supply the gas to Hungary. It is quite possible that Ukraine is seeking to deny logistical support to all Russian forces in the Sumy area as well as potentially destroying the pipeline on the Russian side of the border and basically tell Hungary "sorry, we'd love to send you gas but there is a problem on the Russian side".

[@fritzraake22]

The AFU already took control of the pipeline.

[@robertdickson9319]

@@cmtwgrdk2748 the pipeline does continue from Sudzha, through Ukraine and into Europe via Hungary. However, the Russians have installed a metering station & exchange feeder in Sudzha where Russia can control the flow of the gas. Destroying that installation would create problems for Russia continuing to send natural gas to Hungary.

The AFU are a highly intelligent lot. The RF? Not so much so.

Why do the Russian always sound drunk?

The drone strike on the MI-28 is interesting. The drone makes several passes before hitting the tail rotor. I think that the helicopter pilot didn't notice the drone, because if he had, he would probably have been able to outrun it. The MI-28 has a top speed of about 300 kmh, which is far faster than any drone. But the pilot has a bit of a dilema - fly low and slow to avoid manpads (but expose yourself to drones), or fly high and fast to avoid drones (but expose yourself to manpads).

[@TheFrewah]

I didnt understand. Was there a charge that went off when the drone hit the tail rotor?

[@MrSonofsonof]

@@TheFrewah We can't tell yet. The Ukrainian army says that it was brought down and they have a video. We'll have to wait and see.

[@TheFrewah]

@@MrSonofsonof I am looking forward to see that video

"Ukrainian presence" or "incursion"? Ahem, I think you might mean Ukrainian Special Military Operation.

i think Sudzha has been encircled already accord. to UNIAN. Attention to Mr MIller & Gazprom..

[@carlomottola3213]

I think this operation is directed to calling out Russia's bluff on peace talks. Are they willing to negotiate a peace treaty having to negotiate the Kursk region aswell?

[@WestOfEarth]

Strategically, it would makes sense that Ukraine eventually use these captured Russian territories to bargain for the Ukrainian territory Russia captured.

The Kursk region used to be Ukrainian before the Soviets stole it (sense a theme?), so they haven't really invaded Russia anyway.

[@richardtargett4128]

Negotiations later this year? We’ll hand back Russian occupied territory if you hand over our Ukranian territory?
