larry johnson has been watching russian activities and here is some of what he sees;

Russia wasted no time in responding to the failed Ukrainian attack inside southern Russia this week with six ATACMs. I anticipated Russia was going to use another hypersonic Oreshnik missile. I was wrong. Instead, Russia launched a massive missile and drone strike, hitting key energy and transportation nodes throughout Ukraine. But that is not the big news — Russia has breached the Ukrainian defenses around the key city of Pokrovsk and Ukrainian soldiers are fleeing in panic.

The Two Majors Telegram channel provides a nice overview of the actions along the line of contact:

 Over the past 24 Hours, heavy fighting continued. The RFAF have managed to advance in certain areas:

 In the Area of #NikolayevoDaryino, there is progress in the forest plantations. They reported on ​​fierce fighting, the AFU actively but unsuccessfully counterattacked.

 East of #Novoivanovka, an improvement in the positions of our troops was also recorded. In the area of #​​Pogrebki, the AFU are also actively counterattacking on armour. The frontline between #Pogrebki and #MalayaLoknya has already shifted back and forth several times.

 #CherkasskayaKonopelka remains under the control of our troops, despite regular AFU counterattacks towards the village. In the area of #​​Martynovka, Russian troops have consolidated their positions north of the village in forest plantations. In the area of #​​Makhnovka, our troops have also had some successes, and there are battles on the outskirts.

 In the Area of #Plekhovo, the AFU launched a counterattack to regain control of the village, lost one Bradley and retreated. West of #Plekhovo, our troops are advancing and have already approached #Kurilovka. Our forward units have crossed the Psyol River south of #Sudzha and are advancing in the area of ​​the villages of #Guyevo and #Gornal. Our troops have not yet entered #Guyevo, massive artillery shelling of enemy forces is ongoing near the village along the river bank.

 Our FPV Drone Operators successfully destroy #NATO equipment. Near #Novoivanovka, our drones destroyed an #US Abrams tank, and spectacular footage of the destruction of a British Challenger appeared somewhere in the #Kursk border area.

 By the Way, the #US is closely monitoring the losses of its equipment. Thus, the Military Watch Magazine calculated that the AFU have only 11 Abrams left from all the batches that were sent to #Ukraine..........more.............
