The Russian reaction to Ukraine's invasion of Kursk is somewhat misunderstood. They may be slow, but they are not paralyzed. We should expect them to escalate the war, but that will require the use of conscripts. They are progressing slowly to avoid domestic backlash.

@anderspuck what about the tactics russia would use to liberate Kursk, you see them heavily use artillery and pulverize every settlement they liberate?
As there are russians within the occupied Kursk, ain't there a big risk they will spread the message how the russian forces just don't care who dies?

@aho @anderspuck I think there is an additional factor of weather. Soon the cold will come and that tends to change the fighting tactics. Time is not on Putin’s side here.

@jeremiah_ @anderspuck something I haven't noticed much of, the use of ski based troops during winter time, not saying it will be a game changer but could improve possibilities to move faster with infantry from and to battle areas.

@aho @anderspuck It’s the frozen ground that makes it hard to dig trenches and the deep mud in the Spring. Those tend to be the things that stymie troop movement from what I understand.

@jeremiah_ @anderspuck maybe I'm too rotted into how the Finns try to fight, which is a lot of fast hit and run, not necessarily to take over a trench, but make the enemies life as hellish as possible.

@aho @anderspuck The Finns fight well and made life a living hell for the Russians in The Winter War. But Ukraine is not Finland and the Ukrainians have a Russian style of fighting, although they seem to be innovating a style all their own.

@jeremiah_ @anderspuck I think Ukraine is a mix of fighting styles, old soviet to a western mobile fighting style, I think we will see less of the soviet style for two reason, Ukraine do not have the artillery to do it and the officers who are Soviet trained are getting older.

When Ukraine gets better on AI drones, we will see yet another type of fighting.

Why risks? Just another way to die for the Motherland.
