Another decent figure for a day. Well done, AFU!
The losses in equipment are unsustainable. The orcs can’t replace destroyed equipment fast enough, they have plenty of cannon fodder, but tanks don’t grow on trees.
I wish the AFU would make a huge push across the Dnipro, it is probably the best direction to attack, and would give the orcs a massive headache.
So do I. But, you know as well as I do how damned wide the Dnipro River is. Where they are currently crossing, the river is quite “narrow”, which still means around 500 meters! Or, for our American audience, around 1500 ft. But, we’ll see if this is yet another Antonovskiy-type operation or something much more.
