Because they wouldn't have enough capacities for a third front. If they opened a second front this would be watched with high interest by for example Georgia or Azerbaijan who would love to get regions like South Ossetia or Nagorno-Karabach (back) under their control by force.So...why haven't they then?
T-64...
Mind blowing, especially with such an ancient platform.That is almost 35,000 feet. Holy shit.
It’s nonsense unless that front would be made up from conscripts/unmotivated and out of shape reservists only and that would require a general mobilization anyway which the regime can’t afford.Because they wouldn't have enough capacities for a third front. If they opened a second front this would be watched with high interest by for example Georgia or Azerbaijan who would love to get regions like South Ossetia or Nagorno-Karabach (back) under their control by force.
The Russian capability to still open a second front is the only reason why we don't have all out war in that region now, nonetheless tensions are rising (especially Azerbaijan slowly tries to move forward in Nagorno-Karabach and there is not really anyone stopping those slow advances now)
Absolutely. Speaks to the skill of the operatorMind blowing, especially with such an ancient platform.
Recycling the wounded. Smells like desperation to me.
especially standing next to a windowKind of amazing anyone still opens their mouth in Russia to say anything but Putin authorized statements in public.
RIP, brave of them all to take a stand.
I walked into that one.especially standing next to a window
It was in the first days of March when anti-war statements weren’t criminalized yet. It’s still a brave move though.Kind of amazing anyone still opens their mouth in Russia to say anything but Putin authorized statements in public.

Ah, okay I remember that. Interesting Putin waited a while to kill him. Perhaps he made further moves internally that resulted in his murder, and the letter wasn't the cause.It was in the first days of March when anti-war statements weren’t criminalized yet. It’s still a brave move though.
You got to give it to Russia. Deadly assasinations, poisoning people, using radioactivity to kill people, people falling through a hospital window - normally you would see that in expensive Hollywood movies and think "that's a tad unrealistic"
They even have a startup challenge for inventing novel ways to kill people. noYou got to give it to Russia.

Looks like it.Difficult to see what I’m watching- is that ammunition exploding after it’s been hit?

You can see the one guy running towards another guy to try to get them away from the target. They didn’t quite make it.Must be absolutely terrifying to be caught in that. My sympathy levels remain zero though

In the buildup to the current Ukrainian counteroffensive, the US urged Kyiv to keep the operation limited in both its objectives and its geography to avoid getting overextended and bogged down on multiple fronts, multiple US and western officials and Ukrainian sources tell CNN.
Those discussions involved engaging in "war-gaming" with Kyiv, the sources said -- analytical exercises that were intended to help the Ukrainian forces understand what force levels they would need to muster to be successful in different scenarios.
The Ukrainians were initially considering a broader counteroffensive, but narrowed their mission to the south, in the Kherson region, in recent weeks, US and Ukrainian officials said.
