  • Ukrainian forces launched a surprise offensive into Russia’s Kursk region last Tuesday.
  • They have captured around 1,000 square kilometers of Russian land so far, Kyiv’s top general said.
  • That figure is almost as much territory as Russia has seized in Ukraine this year.

    I wasn’t really disagreeing. Except that guy who wrote as if using horses was something wrong. It’s often not a bad idea even today, especially in mountains.

      Fair enough, that makes way more sense.

      I think they meant front line cavalry which, tbf, they should have specified.

      For sure, I think horses, donkys and mules are still the best way to carry large supplies for fighting deep in jungles too. Well, outside of helicopters but they’re not ad good at hiding under the jungle canopy. So, I 100% agree. I was just letting you know.
