Good thread on pre-war military analysis of Russia, the failiure to predict their poor performance so far, why France 1940 isn't the best comparison, and other interesting thoughts.

@C_M_Dougherty:
I respect @PhillipsPOBrien's work, & I recommend his book How the War Was Won to everyone (seriously, go read it). I also think he makes some great points in this article. However, there are some key misconceptions that matter for improving military analysis. 1/ https://t.co/jJ8enIJfcM

Increase in the number of equipment near the deployment point of the Russian Armed Forces radar station was noticed today near Drazdy (Mazyr district, Gomel region). The equipment was deployed closer to the road because of lack of space at the main deployment area.

⚡️Radar station of the Russian Armed Forces is deployed near Mazyr (Gomel region, Belarus).
A large radar station of the Russian Armed Forces is deployed near the station Solevik-1, 2 km from the “Mazyr” railway station. The equipment has identification mark “V”.

Looking back at this thread. Ukraine has not only held Kyiv and Mikolaiv, but has counterattacked from both directions. Russia continues to advance in Mariupol, but it hasn't fallen. Not sure Russia can make an effective offensive in the JFO at this point given attrition.
-----------
@RALee85:
Thread on the current status of the war. There are 4 areas/cities to watch over the next 1-2 weeks:
-Mikolaiv
-Mariupol
-Joint Forces Operation area
-Kyiv
Russian forces are having some successes pushing against JFO but less against Kyiv and Mikolaiv.

RT @USAmbBelarus: Thanks @mitchellreports for the chance to talk about Lukashenka’s complicity in Putin’s war against Ukraine. The people of #Belarus don’t want this war but Lukashenka values his grip on power more than Belarus’ sovereignty. https://twitter.com/USAmbBelarus/status/1509929955198705683/photo/1

#Ukraine: The Ukrainian forces captured another very potent Russian TOS-1A thermobaric multiple rocket launcher. Due to the broken tracks it was abandoned by the Russian army in Novyi Bykiv, #Chernihiv oblast.
This is the third verified loss of this type since day one. https://t.co/palaCeR6NH

Russia can regroup, but Ukraine can move its forces from Kyiv to support the JFO too and clearly Ukraine still has aviation assets if needed. Plus, Russian forces are struggling to hold positions in Chernihiv, Sumy, and Kharkiv as an economy of force mission. 2/
