    This video, and the one from 2 weeks ago on the Kursk offensive, are the best and most concise ways to get up to date on what's happening and how. The Kursk offensive video has some really good info that tackles some of the rumors and speculation about how Russia got blindsided, while also presenting actual intel to make sense of it.

    Thanks to everyone regularly posting this news!

      I have long felt that Perun puts out videos that are the least sensationalized, and which make the highest good-faith effort at objectivity and accuracy (and clearly state what is uncertain as well as making the attempt at providing the viewer a qualitative analysis on the type/degree/source of uncertainty).

      My understanding of Tildes is that it is a gathering place that places quality of content, and quality of discussion very highly, so I felt that this was the best forum to share content from Perun.

        Absolutely! And yes this is a great place to share high-quality content. I hope that people don't tire of news about Russia's invasion, or of powerpoints, but I think Perun keeps things enjoyable...

        Absolutely! And yes this is a great place to share high-quality content. I hope that people don't tire of news about Russia's invasion, or of powerpoints, but I think Perun keeps things enjoyable despite it largely being about things that are not as exciting as the new LOTR show's second season. It's important info nonetheless.

    Full description copied from Perun's video description section:

    At times, the war in Ukraine has had a relatively clear division between the power currently on the offensive, and the opposing force standing on the defensive.

    For most of the war Russia has held the initiative, and in 2024 that clearly remains the case along much of the front. But as Ukraine's incursion into Russia's Kursk region continues, it's become clear that the Russia may not hold a monopoly on battlefield initiative, and there are questions as to what the duelling offensives, Ukraine in Kursk and Russia elsewhere, are ultimately achieving for both sides.

    In this episode, we zoom in on the developments in Kursk and Pokrovsk, look at the escalation of the long-range strike efforts, including the reported development of new systems like Ukrainian jet powered attack drones, and ask how, and if, these current efforts might be shaping the conflict at a strategic level.
