Ukraine's Kursk Operation Crumbles, Crisis on Frontline Grows (TheNewAtlas)

- Ukraine’s incursion into Kursk has predictably begun to collapse as overextended troops are unable to sustain combat operations against better equipped Russian forces;

- Ukraine’s defenses along the line of contact also continue to collapse;

- Washington continues transitioning toward proxy guerrilla war against Russia as Ukraine and its Western sponsors continue losing in terms of conventional warfare;



The big deal in the media at this point is whether to give Ukraine long range strike weapons, cruise missiles, to which the Russians are saying this will mean war with NATO. However, we know that the precision guided HIMARS missiles were largely ineffective against Russian air defense and electronic warfare. It's unlikely that longer range cruise missiles will fare any better.
