The incredible story of Russias "Operation Flow"

A hugely successful and audacious special forces operation where hundreds of troops crept 16 kms through a Gas pipeline to emerge at the rear of Ukrainain defences in Sudzha Kursk.

NEWS UPDATE, KURSK FRONT 11:00 CET, MARCH 12, 2025
The Russian counteroffensive continues (map 1). Only the western suburbs of Sudzha remain in Ukrainian hands. As sideshows in the west, RuAF also has made minor progress south of Lebedevka and towards Basivka on the Ukrainian side of the border.

The situation is fluid and it's hard to know how many Ukrainian soldiers are left. Therefore it's hard to predict how fast the Russian advance will proceed. Yesterday I wouldn't have expected a Russian assault over the river in the middle of Sudzha, but RuAF must have seen that there were few defenders and attacked.

The next step for the Russian forces (map 2) is to take the western suburbs in Sudzha and then continue towards the border along the two roads (white on map 2). The goal would be to retake the northern 60 kmsq (A) that remains in Ukrainian hands. By this operation they will also cut off any possibility to supply area B in the sparsely populated southern 60 kmsq, including the villages of Guevo and Gornal. This operation will probably take 2-4 days.

If area B, i.e. the Guevo cauldron, hasn't already been abandoned by the Ukrainans, when the northern part is taken, the final operation in the Second battle of Kursk will be the elimination of this area. That part of the operation will probably take 1-2 days. All in all, we can expect the battle of Kursk to be over in 2-6 days.

In the video you see Russian troops calmly showing the Russian flag in the centre of Sudzha earlier this morning.

VIEWER DISCRETION STRONGLY ADVISED: Below, video of some of the Ukrainian prisoners from one of the most recent Russian counter offensive, about a few hours ago, in the Kursk region. Many more have been taken hostage and hundreds killed. DON’T get me wrong, some on the Russian side have also been taken hostage and killed, but Ukraine is just throwing these men into the fire like they’re worthless. It always starts like this. We saw it in #Mariupol, we saw it #Kupyansk, we saw it in #Soledar, #Bakhmut, and many other parts of the Donbas. Ukraine has yet to recapture anyone of these cities and towns that Russia took from them. In all these battles, western mercenaries fought side by side with Ukrainians against Russia. Only this time, they (western mercenaries) are more in number, for the battle of Kursk.

In the end, these fathers and brothers and uncles will be sacrificed for the insatiably diabolical war appetite of the vampiric few in our midst. The madness just doesn’t end, until of course there’s an anti - war American president in the White House. That’s why many are praying for Trump to come. Hopefully the election holds and he wins, if they don’t rush America into a global war ahead of the elections like I have posited severally. We’ll see.

They called him Chikatilo: Near Kursk, the Russians outwitted an elite drone operator who spared no one⁉️

The well-known AFU drone driver – 22-year-old Sergey Pavlenko (call sign “Pixel”) – has been retaliated against in the Kursk region, having served in the infamous 80th AFU brigade, which does not spare prisoners.

Pixel was liquidated near Suya – in the area of the village of Russkoye Porechenye, where Russian fighters recently found the bodies of civilians with signs of torture in a cellar. Judging by the clothes, the civilians were executed back in the summer, when Ukrainian soldiers and mercenaries invaded the Kursk region.

It is known that Pavlenko’s group tried to repel a powerful attack by Russian army units. As usual, drones flew forward. It turned out that Russian drone operators are more agile than the enemy. Near Kursk, the Russians outmaneuvered the elite drone operator. Pixel's group probably counted on a powerful NATO REB, with which they wanted to disrupt our "birds", but it didn't happen.

Considered the best
Before the war, Pixel lived peacefully in Poland and was considered a promising programmer. He could have done something good for his adopted country, but he decided that it was more interesting to fight against the Russians. Perhaps he was influenced by the "fashionable" ultra-right ideas that were cultivated among Ukrainian youth. The result was the fateful decision of this guy - he joined the 80th separate airborne brigade.

Interestingly, Sergei Pavlenko went to war secretly. Apparently, he realized that his more experienced relatives would try to stop him. It is clear to many representatives of the older generation that it is useless to fight against the Russians.

Nevertheless, Pixel quickly got the hang of it and quite soon became the commander of the strike unmanned systems department. For his operations, he was awarded a whole set of medals. The drone operator wants to posthumously list the new award. He was awarded the title of “Hero of Ukraine”. The document was signed by the commander of the Ukrainian Air Force.

Pavlenko was one of the first drone pilots that Kiev involved in the Kursk adventure. In particular, it is known that it was he who coordinated the AFU attack on the Suya border crossing and was considered the best pilot in his brigade.

Does not spare civilians and prisoners
Note that “Chikatilo” got to the right place – the 80th brigade is known for its war crimes. For example, in November 2022, it was its soldiers who shot 11 unarmed Russian prisoners of war in the village of Makeyevka in the DNR. The footage went viral on the web, but of course it did not cause any reaction in the West. There is no doubt that Pavlenko did not spare the prisoners either.

👉conditions from which Russia will not retreat⁉️⁉️

🇷🇺🖥️ Vladimir Putin on the conditions of a ceasefire and the start of negotiations with Ukraine.

“Ukrainian troops must be completely withdrawn from the Donetsk and Luhansk People's Republics, the Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions – and I would like to point out that this must be done from the entire territory of these regions within their administrative borders that existed at the time of their entry into Ukraine. As soon as Kiev declares that it is ready for such a decision and begins the actual withdrawal of troops from these regions, and also officially announces the abandonment of plans to join NATO, from our side, at that moment, an order to cease fire and start negotiations will follow immediately,” the president said at a meeting with the leadership of the Foreign Ministry on June 14, 2024.

09.03.25 The Ukrainian army is surrendering en masse to the advancing Russian army throughout the Kursk region.

Some Ukrainian soldiers made the right choice.

They radio “Volga” and surrender.

These are mostly forcibly mobilized #Ukrainian civilians who do not want to die for #Zelensky .

⚡Australia is increasingly concerned that the nuclear-powered submarines promised under the AUKUS security pact with the U.S. and the UK may never arrive.

In 2021, Australia scrapped a €56 billion submarine deal with France to join the AUKUS pact with the U.S. and UK, opting for nuclear-powered vessels.

The move strained ties with France but was seen as a strategic shift in Indo-Pacific security.

Years later, Australia still has no firm delivery guarantees. Even if delivered, the submarines may be U.S operated, limiting Australia’s autonomy.

As The Guardian’s Ben Doherty warns:

“These submarines could fly the American flag, carry American weapons, and be controlled by American officers. Australia risks becoming nothing more than an operational base for U.S. power projection.”
Just 2021 And they are complaining, They have not seen anything yet. They should wait 10yrs more before complaining, then wait another 10 before its ready and another ten yrs before they get it

WriterNG what's happening to your horde?? All your biggest hitters have gone AWOL...
You are now left with all this "Young'uns" scribbling rubbish all over the thread..

Marcon and Europe wrote the ceasefire agreement."
😂😂😂
800billion for Ukraine to rearm and recruit mercenaries.. WTF 😂😂

P.S Europe weren't even part of the negotiations that brought forward the idea for a 30-day ceasefire... this is entirely the US agenda.

Also the 800billion was for EU countries to increase it defence spending in a five year plan.. not to arm Ukraine or hire mercenaries..
Younguns? Lmao...

Lavrov: It's funny that Macron is trying to support someone with his four nuclear bombs

The head of the Russian Foreign Ministry, commenting on the statement of the French President about nuclear support for Europe, said: “France’s intention to support someone with 3-4 nuclear bombs is truly ridiculous.”

According to reliable data, Russia has the largest nuclear arsenal in the world, with 5,580 nuclear warheads.

The reason mother Russia wants to push Ukraine back is to mount defense shield in Donbass to be able to see all nato weapons in the future when fired from Ukraine easily

UK USA evil nato knows this so that is going to hurt them if they accept to make Ukraine withdraw back grin

For smart people only:

Ukraine has no chance to achieve any military goal in this conflict. The only aim of zelensky is to kick start ww3. That is what all his talk of "security guarantees" are all about. If "security guarantees" are granted then once a peace agreement is reached, Ukraine will break the agreement immediately (perhaps with false flag) and blame Russia for it then the guarantee would insure that the USA and NATO would actively fight on this phase of the war.
