The Kremlin’s glide-bombing campaign has shifted to Kursk Oblast in Russia.
The Russians, meanwhile, are finally bringing to bear their heaviest firepower—lobbing powerful glide bombs at Ukrainian columns rolling along Russian roads.
For more than a year, these glide bombs—each ranging 25 miles or farther with hundreds of pounds of explosives—have been Russia’s most powerful offensive weapons, demolishing Ukrainian defenses ahead of Russian ground assaults.
Now they’re defensive weapons—and potentially Russia’s main means of slowing Ukrainian assaults until fresh Russian ground troops arrive in Kursk.
~Snip~
The bombing campaign began shifting north around Tuesday, roughly the same time the vanguard of at least five Ukrainian brigades rolled across the border into Kursk, kicking off a surprise counter-invasion in the 29th month of Russia’s wider war on Ukraine.
As Ukrainian battalions attacked from their bases in Sumy Oblast, right across the border from Kursk, Russian bombs rained down. “The intensity of combat in the Sumy direction has increased,” the Ukrainian general staff reported on Wednesday. “The enemy is actively applying aviation, helicopters, heavy weapons.”


Commentary:
While Democrats are dancing around the Democrat Presidential campaign Maypole, The Ukrainian Army has penetrated Russian Oblast near Kursk.
Now Russia is dropping bombs on it's own territory in attempts to dislodge and stop the deep penetration assault.
Alexander Mercouris may be far more accurate than Forbes. Mercouris makes the point that the Kursk incursion is a waste of Ukrainian soldiers. They were desperate to try to reach the Kursk nuclear power plant; all this did was end any expectations of a peace deal.
Meanwhile, the naysayers and defeatist political segments have been extolling Russian ground gains in the Ukraine, but Putin is worried that Russian soil has been taken and possibly a Nuclear facility to boot.

A truly desperatation Deflection tactic .
The UAF elsewhere is in collapse , losing around 2000 men and women a day .

This incursion will be short lived and ruthlessly suppressed .

Meanwhile Russia simply increases its attacks on Kyiv and other major city infrastructures , and already most of western Ukey Land is guaranrteed very little electricity and heating for the winter .

The tactics of the vermin like Mad Midget are disgusting as he is simply heaping misery , starvation and death on his populace for the sake of a few apparently bullish headlines for a few days .
A true War Criminal .

The New York Times: The Russian Armed Forces stopped the advance of Ukrainian troops in the Kursk border region, while the AFU felt "the consequences of the Russian response". In addition, the Russian Armed Forces continued their advance in the area of Chasov Yar, Toretsk and Pokrovsk.

That's it.
The PR campaign is coming to naught.

Maybe so , I understand than Ukes took out a convoy with 700 in less than 15 minutes.
Then again Russians are like stalks of wheat... cut 'em down and more take their place.

It is true that Moscow was thrown a little for 48 hours as they did not believe the CIAs agreement would be given and that both they and Kyiv could not grasp the futility and dire cost .

The war is being fought on a 600 mile front in Ukraine and the position is beyond repair for the Midget .
Kursk is deflection and very costly theatre .

Hmm...., similar to WWII, where armies fought on a front hundreds of miles long

USSIA is scrambling to build trenches around Kursk nuclear plant as it fears Ukraine could capture its reactors.
Satellite photos show new lines in the earth near the power station as Vladimir Putin's armed forces fail to halt the brave advance.
~Snip~
Ukraine's troops have now spent six days inside the Russian homeland replacing flags, taking POWs, and capturing territory.
They've penetrated 30km deep, Russia's defence ministry said, leaving Putin "scared and seething" over the ongoing attacks.
Russia is scrambling to build fortifications around the atomic facility which is 100km from the border with Ukraine.
Satellite images show the trenches to the south of Kurchatov, a town near where the power plant is located.

"The Nazis" did not bomb "everybody" but the Brits, the allies of Stalin, did do so. For example the Brits preferred to bomb down little romantic German cities from the middle ages who had been without any military structure. This cities burned very well and the old men, women and children there not had been able to defend themselvces against the criminal RAF - oh sorry: the heroes of the RAF.

But "Bomber Harris" did not get this name because he did do so. He got this name because he was the first who did use aeroplanes for terror attacks against civilists in 1922 in the Iraq. "Terror" was one of the instruments Hitler overtook from highly decorated honorful war criminals like "Bomber Harris" oh sorry: "Sir" Arthur T. Harris.

And by the way: It had been the Brits who had declared war on Germany after Stalin and Hitler decided together to wipe out the state Poland again. The strange thing in this context: Before this had happened GB tried to bring Russia and Germany into a war with each other. But in this case Poland had to fall. ...

Kursk is on the way to Moscow, Russian.



...
Wo alle Straßen enden
Hört unser Weg nicht auf
Wohin wir uns auch wenden
Die Zeit nimmt ihren Lauf

Das Herz, verbrannt
Im Schmerz, verbannt
So ziehen wir verloren durch das graue Niemandsland
Vielleicht kehrt von uns keiner mehr zurück ins Heimatland
...

Translation:
...
Where all roads end
Our path does not end
Wherever we turn
Time takes its course

The heart, burned
In pain, banished
So we wander lost through the gray no man's land
Perhaps none of us will return to our homeland
...

I ask myselve whether Russia is not too late to take care for peace now. Better it would had been they had ended yesterday their stupid, senseless and criminal war on Europe in the Ukraine before a point of no return will be reached from the Russian federation. War is not calculable. Anyone who goes into a war lightly because he thinks he is hopelessly superior should also expect to lose this war. What will you do when you will lose, Putin? ... Whatever. It will be totally stupid what Putin will do ... I suggest to all Russians to arrest Putin and to bring him to the international court.
