> i would still say that the original idea to blitz into kursk to grab the npp had some merit it did, but it would still have been a gambit. they would still lose all the held territory, personnel and equipment. they could do one of those ambiguous maybe we will conduct nuclear terrorism or maybe we wont and pray it would hold off the russians. dear god it would have turned out bad if they did, probably better for all that they didnt reach the npp. as far as i know, since starlink was disabled in russia they lost their sattelite comms as soon as they crossed the border, russian cell towers shut down and all radio frequencies got jammed. once they were committed all coordination disintegrated. i think this is the reason why they got stuck in there once the plan failed, they literally couldn't tell their troops to pull out again.
