The 47th Mechanized Brigade is just a shadow of its former self. It completely lost its unique identity when it got replenished time and time again by mobilized personnel.
just a reminder.... the afu has 2 corps held back for the right time... russia has none... example, when was the last time we saw the 47th in ground combat?

🇷🇺🇺🇦 LYMAN FRONT PREDICTION I stumbled on a video I posted on 17 September 2025. "From a tactical and operational level, the counterattacks led by the 3rd Army Corps made sense. The goal was to break through this bulge from the north, and force the Russians back on the eastern bank of the Zherebets river." Biletsky’s Operation Vivaldi appears to be the culmination of several successive attempts to break through Russian defenses.

Bijna niemand buiten Pakistan snapt iets van de strijd tussen de Pakistaanse Taliban (TTP) en de Afghaanse Taliban aan de ene kant en het Pakistaanse leger aan de andere kant. Dus goed dat deze youtuber het eens een keer helemaal uitlegt. De grote lijn van dit verhaal klopt.👇
🇦🇫🇵🇰 How The Taliban Are Taking the War Into Pakistan After backing the Taliban for decades, Pakistan is now at war with the very movement it once supported. Pakistan is facing a devastating insurgency along its border with Afghanistan, as the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) wages an increasingly deadly campaign against the Pakistani state. In this video, we'll examine the origins of this conflict, breakdown the military operations, and analyze how the relationship between Islamabad and Kabul has deteriorated into open conflict.

Algerians didn’t deport anyone. In reality, it’s the French government that repatriated the Europeans living in Algeria to mainland France. Similar to the Portuguese Europeans that were repatriated from the African colonies after 1975.
The Algerians deported a million Frenchmen (born in Algeria) without any moral qualms. France can deport every last rioter (whether they are born in France or not). Citizenship is just a passport which is just a piece of paper.

People don't understand what neutral reporting actually means... A serious war analyst will have to look into the claims of both sides, and then cross reference the info with geolocations. I think I should make a video with DPA to talk about it.
This is why DPA is neutral and have 2 maps on one mapping. As you can see we mapped the Russian claims - but our Ukrainian mapping clearly denies the Russian claims (blue mapping) The ONLY verifiable Russian offensive is from the east - as verified by geolocations. I dunno how many times I need to repeat DPA is neutral and not pro-russia... Pro-ukrainians that are hating on DPA is clearly overly bias/partisan

Even war maps are suffering from inflation these days...
This is what Russian hopium looks like. Russian Z-bloggers are amplifying false claims about northeastern Kharkiv region, echoing the information bubble seen around Lyman before Ukrainian successes exposed how far their narrative had drifted from battlefield reality. More tomorrow. #Ukraine

Wrong ❌ When Russian forces get clapped, I say it. Look at the videos I did on the Ukrainian offensive Kursk. The video takes time because the reality is that the situation in Lyman is difficult to assess due to the lack of visual confirmation and the completely contradictory narratives coming from both sides.
Replying to @HistoryLegends_
If the Lyman operation would be russian there would be a Video out already titled" Ukraine completly humiliated anhilliated steamtroled in unpresendent Blitzkrieg advance"

1. FALSE ❌ Ukraine did lose a lot of ground around Orikhiv, Dobropillia, Kostiantynivka, on the east bank of Kupyansk, and outside Vovchansk. You just decide to ignore it. 2. FALSE ❌ In my last analysis on Lyman, I literally said that Ukraine has to counterattack ASAP north of the city in the sector of Shandrylove if it wants to save the town.... and that's exactly what happened. As for Kupyansk, the situation was critical enough for Ukraine. That's why I said Ukraine had to counterattack north of the city to prevent an encirclement from the West. That exactly what happened. I said many times that Ukraine's local counterattacks at the Corps level are much more effective than large-scale offensives. So please shut up. People like you are just dishonest and have no clue how analyzing battles in real time works. I don't have a crystal ball. I can only assess battles with the (little) information available at that given moment, and lay out possibilities going from there. I'm not sitting in the HQ with all the data in front of me, so I cannot say precisely say WHEN things will happen.

The problem is that the map by ISW massively underestimates the extent of Russian territorial gains. For example below in Orikhiv. Similar situation near Dobropillia and Kostiantynivka. Additionally, the map visually tricks readers by separating Russian gains in two categories: "assessed territorial gains" and "infiltration areas", while all Ukrainian gains are lumped together in blue as "claimed territorial gains". Splitting red and hash makes a Russian presence harder to read at first glance than one blue blob. The reality is that the official maps of both sides are wrong these days.
MORE: Russian forces lost control over almost 300 square kilometers between March and September 2026 – a period including Ukraine’s successful Operation Vivaldi, which liberated at least 147 square kilometers over several months. ISW has observed evidence to assess that Russian forces seized 175.54 square kilometers but lost 256.35 square kilometers of territory in Ukraine in September 2026 for a net loss of 80.81 square kilometers – an average pace of -2.69 square kilometers per day. Russian forces also had negative gains in September when accounting for Russian infiltrations into areas over which Russian forces have not gained control, with Russian forces seizing or infiltrating into 143.2 square kilometers, but losing 318.38 square kilometers of territory for a net loss of 175.18 square kilometers. These September 2026 statistics, however, include Ukrainian liberations of at least 147 square kilometers of territory in the Lyman area after details about Operation Vivaldi began to emerge in September, even though Ukrainian forces conducted the operation over the preceding months. Russia’s rate of seizing territory significantly declined in March 2026 and has remained low – or even negative – since. Russian gains have also remained low since March, even when counting areas into which Russian forces have infiltrated. A calculation controlling for Ukrainian gains made during Operation Vivaldi over an unspecified number of months before September 2026 shows that Russian forces have lost control of 293.59 square kilometers net across the entire front since March 2026 and have only gained a presence in a total of 174.44 square kilometers when accounting for Russian infiltrations since March. Ukraine’s effective use of operational security surrounding Operation Vivaldi – and Ukraine’s likely continuation of this practice during future counterattacks – will likely make it hard to determine meaningful month-on-month net assessment about Russian territorial gains and losses.

What an achievement 🔥🙏 Been following their journey for years. Very happy to see how far they have come.
The statue of Prometheus is finally finished. It was cast in Paris, crossed the Atlantic, and was assembled at Starbase. It took us 100 days to go from nothing to this. People of the West, we have lived through an era devoid of dreams, devoid of destiny. But the time has come to reclaim our dream of antiquity. In a few months, we will start building a new city. It will be the most magnificent city in all of history. After all, the great dream of the West has always been to rebuild Rome. Come walk beside us in this endeavor. The world is waiting.

🇬🇷🇹🇷 Could Greece Survive an Air War Against Turkey? Turkey is once again ramping up penetrations into Greek airspace, a reminder that one spark could ignite conflict between two historic rivals. Turkey dominates militarily but the air-power gap is much smaller, especially since Greece is betting everything on technology to dominate the sky over the Aegean. Full analysis: youtu.be/a98c6jNnBWs

Ukraine creates another brigade while other formations are facing extreme shortages of manpower. At this point it can only mean: Corruption and nepotism…
