🚨 KURSK OFFENSIVE UPDATE 🚨
We just returned from Sudzha, Kursk region. We delivered more than $30K worth of high tech equipment to support the 🇺🇦 brigades fighting there.
I have some insights to share now.
🧵
I didn’t post earlier due to OPSEC.
I sent my team to Sudzha and on 13th Aug they were already there, literally the first civilians to enter the area to assist.
I didn’t go myself as I am departing to my military service today and wanted some family days.
We ran a fundraiser for the units we support in the area and raised $24.580. This is outstanding.
Delivered all they needed - worth of $33.562 total.
This is a great example how crowdfunding could make a difference for them, especially given they need more night vision drones.

We and our units left a lot of Dzyga’s Paw stickers in the area - like this on burnt r*ssian t62m obr2022.
We were the first ones to see it as civilians.
Russians lost a lot of equipment there, and a lot of personnel. From this perspective, it’s extremely successful for Ukraine
We spent a lot of time talking to our units on the ground. Key learnings:
1. Ukrainians did colossal amount of work to pull this off. It was unexpected and a lot of Engineering work ensured this.
1.1 Ukrainians are capable of mechanized breakthroughs. Russians are not, even though they have much more mechanized vehicles.
Ukrainians already pulled this off in Kharkiv offensive and in Kursk offensive. This tells you a lot, especially give scarce resources.
2. This will be a long story.
That’s not a raid, AFU is established there for a long period. They are not in static frontline, Ukrainian special forces now freely roam r*ssia.
Russian forces will have a very bad time defending there, much harder than Donbas. POWs and KIAs.
3. I am personally feeling sad that I didn’t visit Kursk area this time but I am departing today to my military bootcamp before I go fighting.
Chances are I will also fight in Kursk soon. You can follow my journey here - @dim0kq. Will also post videos from Kursk.

Ukraine will win, and this one operation is a part of a greater plan.
As Ukrainian, I trust in our leadership - to that extent that I am going to fight for Ukraine’s Freedom under their command.
